KEY FACTS

THE FUND AT A GLANCE
GOAL: Capital appreciation (increase in the value of the fund's shares). As
with any mutual fund, there is no assurance that the fund will achieve its
goal.
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in equity securities, normally limiting itself to
50 - 60 stocks, that FMR chooses using fundamental research and
statistical models.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the management
arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946 and is now
America's largest mutual fund manager. Foreign affiliates of FMR may
help choose investments for the fund.
SIZE: As of June 30, 1994, the fund had over $ 48 million in assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
This non-diversified fund may be appropriate for aggressive investors who
are willing to ride out stock market fluctuations in pursuit of potentially
high long-term returns. The fund is designed for those who want to focus on
a relatively small number of stocks chosen based on both fundamental
research and computer analysis. Shareholders should understand that the
impact of a change in value of a single stock holding may have a
significant impact on the fund's share price. The fund does not pursue
income, and is not in itself a balanced investment plan.
Over time, stocks have shown greater growth potential than other types of
securities. In the shorter term, however, stock prices can fluctuate
dramatically in response to company, market, or economic news. When you
sell your fund shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid
for them.

THE SPECTRUM OF
FIDELITY FUNDS
Broad categories of Fidelity
funds are presented here in
order of ascending risk.
Generally, investors seeking
to maximize return must
assume greater risk. Fidelity
Fifty is in the GROWTH
category.
(bullet) MONEY MARKET Seeks
income and stability by
investing in high-quality,
short-term investments.
(bullet) INCOME Seeks income by
investing in bonds.
(bullet) GROWTH AND INCOME
Seeks long-term growth and
income by investing in stocks
and bonds.
(arrow) GROWTH Seeks long-term
growth by investing mainly in
stocks.
(checkmark)
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy or sell
shares of a fund. See pages and - for an explanation of how and
when these charges apply. Lower sales charges may be available for accounts
over $250,000.
Maximum sales charge on purchases
(as a % of offering price) 3.00%
Maximum sales charge on
reinvested distributions None
Deferred sales charge on redemptions None
Exchange fee None
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The fund
pays a management fee that varies based on its performance. It also incurs
other expenses for services such as maintaining shareholder records and
furnishing shareholder statements and financial reports. The fund's
expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are not charged
directly to shareholder accounts (see page ).
The following are projections based on historical expenses, and are
calculated as a percentage of average net assets .
Management fee .63 %

12b-1 fee None

Other expenses .95 %

Total fund operating expenses 1.58
%

EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described. For every
$1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you
close your account after the number of years indicated:
After 1 year $ 46

After 3 years $ 78

After 5 years $ 11
3

After 10 years $ 21
2

These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.

UNDERSTANDING
EXPENSES
Operating a mutual fund
involves a variety of
expenses for portfolio
management, shareholder
statements, tax reporting, and
other services. As an
investor, you pay some of
these costs directly (for
example, the fund's 3% sales
charge). Others are paid from
the fund's assets; the effect
of these other expenses is
already factored into any
quoted share price or return.

PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance is commonly measured as TOTAL RETURN. The total

the effect of taxes.
The fund's fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30. The tables below
show the fund's performance over the past fiscal period compared to two
measures: investing in a broad selection of stocks the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P 500 (Registered trademark) ),
and not investing at all (inflation, or CPI).

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 total returns covering
periods of less than one year assume that performance will remain constant
for the rest of the year.
S&P 500(registered trademark) is the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Index of 500 stocks , a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common
stock prices. The S&P 500 figures assume reinvestment of all dividends paid
by stocks included in the index. They do not, however, include any
allowance for the brokerage commissions or other fees you would pay if you
actually invested in those stocks.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. government.
Other illustrations of fund performance may show moving averages over
specified periods.
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 or a free annual report, call 1-800-544-8888.
TOTAL RETURNS ARE BASED ON PAST RESULTS AND ARE NOT AN INDICATION OF FUTURE
PERFORMANCE.
THE FUND IN DETAIL

CHARTER
FIDELITY FIFTY IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal. In technical terms, the fund
is currently a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust, an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on December 31, 1984.
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 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. Fidelity 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
The fund is managed by FMR, which chooses the fund's investments and
handles its business affairs. Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc.
(FMR U.K.), in London, England, and Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (FMR Far East), in Tokyo, Japan, assist FMR with foreign
investments.
Scott Stewart is manager of Fidelity Fifty, which he has managed since
September 1993. He also manages various institutional accounts. Mr.
Stewart joined Fidelity in 1987.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) performs transfer agent
servicing functions for the fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR, FMR U.K., and
FMR Far East. Through ownership of voting common stock, members of
the Edward C. Johnson 3d family form a controlling group with
respect to FMR Corp. Changes may occur in the Johnson family group,
through death or disability, which would result in changes in each
individual family members' holding of stock. Such changes could result in
one or more family members becoming holders of over 25% of the stock. The
fund has received an opinion of counsel that changes in the composition of
the Johnson family group under these circumstances would not result in the
termination of the fund's management or distribution contracts and,
accordingly, would not require a shareholder vote to continue operation
under these contracts.
A broker-dealer may use a portion of the commissions paid by the fund to
reduce the fund's custodian or transfer agent fees. FMR may use its
broker-dealer affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares to carry out
the fund's transactions, provided that the fund receives brokerage services
and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
The fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity
securities of domestic and foreign companies that FMR believes have the
greatest potential for growth. The fund normally invests in 50-60 stocks.
In selecting investments for the fund, FMR uses fundamental analysis and
qualitative research to identify companies with superior prospects for
capital appreciation. These securities are then analyzed using statistical
models to further evaluate growth potential, valuation, liquidity, and
investment risk. FMR selects those securities it believes offer strong
opportunities for capital appreciation, are attractively valued, and are
complementary with respect to portfolio risk.
Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual
companies and general market conditions and economic conditions. The fund
spreads investment risk by limiting its holdings in any one company or
industry. FMR may use various investment techniques to hedge the fund's
risks, but there is no guarantee that these strategies will work as FMR
intends. When you sell your shares, they may be worth more or less than
what you paid for them.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The fund also reserves the right to invest without
limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for
temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, and strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective. A summary of risks and
restrictions associated with these instrument types and investment
practices is included as well. 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 to
the full extent permitted unless it believes that doing so will help the
fund achieve its goal. As a shareholder, you will receive financial reports
every six months detailing fund holdings and describing recent investment
activities.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible
securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar type, represent
an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. Although equity securities
have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices fluctuate
based on changes in a company's financial condition and on overall
market and economic conditions. Smaller companies are especially sensitive
to these factors.
FOREIGN SECURITIES and foreign currencies may involve additional risks.
These include currency fluctuations, risks relating to political or
economic conditions in the foreign country, and the potentially less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
In addition to the political and economic factors that can affect foreign
securities, a governmental issuer may be unwilling to repay principal and
interest when due, and may require that the conditions for payment be
renegotiated. These factors could make foreign investments, especially
those in developing countries, more volatile.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. The fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices, interest
rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other factors that
affect security values. These techniques may involve derivative
transactions such as buying and selling options and futures contracts,
entering into currency exchange contracts or swap agreements, and
purchasing indexed securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics
of the fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the
fund's investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques
may increase the volatility of the fund and may involve a small investment
of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these
techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction
does not perform as promised.
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.
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 other securities, including illiquid securities, 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 assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
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. A fund that
is not diversified may be more sensitive to changes in the market value of
a single issuer or industry.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund is considered non-diversified. Generally, to meet
federal tax requirements at the close of each quarter, the fund does not
invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one issuer and, with
respect to 50% of total assets, does not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in any one issuer. The fund may not invest more than 25% of its
total assets in any one industry. These limitations do not apply to U.S.
government securities.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money,
its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing
is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are
outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
LENDING. Lending securities to broker-dealers and institutions,
including FBSI , an affiliate of FMR, is a means of earning income.
This practice could result in a loss or a delay in recovering the fund's
securities. The fund may also lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of the fund's
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 paragraph restates all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraph, can be changed without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks capital appreciation. The fund may not invest more than
25% of its total assets in any one industry. The fund may borrow only
for temporary or emergency purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 33% of
its total assets. Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of the fund's
total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily operations.
Expenses paid out of the fund'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 affiliates who provide
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained on page .
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, which may be terminated
at any time without notice, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its
performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The amount of
the fee is determined by taking a BASIC FEE and then applying a PERFORMANCE
ADJUSTMENT. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the
management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to
the S&P 500.
Manage = Ba +/- Performa
ment sic nce
fee fee adjustme
nt

THE BASIC FEE (calculated monthly) is calculated by adding a group fee rate
to an individual fund fee rate, and multiplying the result by the fund's
average net assets. The group fee rate is based on the average net assets
of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above .52%,
and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For June 1994, the group fee rate was .3217 %. The individual fund
fee rate is .30%. The basic fee rate for fiscal 1994 was .63 %
(annualized).
THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT rate is calculated monthly by comparing the
fund's performance to that of the S&P 500 over the most recent 36-month
period. The performance period began on October 1, 1993 and will
eventually span 36 months, but the performance adjustment will not take
effect until September 1, 1994. The difference is translated into a
dollar amount that is added to or subtracted from the basic fee. The
maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ".20%.
The total management fee rate for fiscal 1994 was .63% (annualized) .

FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. These
sub-advisers provide FMR with investment research and advice on issuers
based outside the United States. Under the sub-advisory agreements, FMR
pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively,
of the costs of providing these services.
The sub-advisers may also provide investment management services. In
return, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East 50% of its management fee with
respect to the fund's investments that the sub-adviser manages on a
discretionary basis.
UNDERSTANDING THE
MANAGEMENT FEE
The basic fee FMR receives
is designed to be responsive
to changes in FMR's total
assets under management.
Building this variable into the
fee calculation assures
shareholders that they will
pay a lower rate as FMR's
assets under management
increase.
Another variable, the
performance adjustment,
rewards FMR when the fund
outperforms the S&P 500 (an
established index of stock
market performance) and
reduces FMR's fee when the
fund underperforms this
index.
(checkmark)
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's annual
operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
The fund contracts with FSC to perform many transaction and accounting
functions. These services include processing shareholder transactions,
valuing the fund's investments, and handling securities loans. In fiscal
1994, the fund paid FSC fees equal to .7% of its average net
assets , on an annualized basis.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as , legal, audit, and
custodian fees; proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of trustees
who are not affiliated with Fidelity.
The fund's annualized portfolio turnover rate for fiscal 1994 was
320 %. This rate varies from year to year. High turnover rates increase
transaction costs and may increase taxable capital gains. FMR considers
these effects when evaluating the anticipated benefits of short-term
investing.

WAYS TO SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT
INDIVIDUAL OR JOINT TENANT
FOR YOUR GENERAL INVESTMENT NEEDS
Individual accounts are owned by one person. Joint accounts can have two or
more owners (tenants).
RETIREMENT
TO SHELTER YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS FROM TAXES
Retirement plans allow individuals to shelter investment income and
capital gains from current taxes. In addition, contributions to these
accounts may be tax deductible. Retirement accounts require special
applications and typically have lower minimums.
(bullet) INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS (IRAS) allow anyone of legal age
and under 70 with earned income to invest up to $2,000 per tax year.
Individuals can also invest in a spouse's IRA if the spouse has earned
income of less than $250.
(bullet) ROLLOVER IRAS retain special tax advantages for certain
distributions from employer-sponsored retirement plans.
(bullet) KEOGH OR CORPORATE PROFIT SHARING AND MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLANS
allow self-employed individuals or small business owners (and their
employees) to make tax-deductible contributions for themselves and any
eligible employees up to $30,000 per year.
(bullet) SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS (SEP-IRAS) provide small
business owners or those with self-employed income (and their eligible
employees) with many of the same advantages as a Keogh, but with fewer
administrative requirements.
(bullet) 403(B) CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS are available to employees of most
tax-exempt institutions, including schools, hospitals, and other charitable
organizations.
(bullet) 401(K) PROGRAMS allow employees of corporations of all sizes to
contribute a percentage of their wages on a tax-deferred basis. These
accounts need to be established by the trustee of the plan.
GIFTS OR TRANSFERS TO A MINOR (UGMA, UTMA)
TO INVEST FOR A CHILD'S EDUCATION OR OTHER FUTURE NEEDS
These custodial accounts provide a way to give money to a child and obtain
tax benefits. An individual can give up to $10,000 a year per child without
paying federal gift tax. Depending on state laws, you can set up a
custodial account under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) or the
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA).
TRUST
FOR MONEY BEING INVESTED BY A TRUST
The trust must be established before an account can be opened.
BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION
FOR INVESTMENT NEEDS OF CORPORATIONS, ASSOCIATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, OR OTHER
GROUPS
Requires a special application.
HOW TO BUY SHARES
ONCE EACH BUSINESS DAY, TWO SHARE PRICES ARE CALCULATED FOR THE FUND: the
offering price and the net asset value (NAV). The offering price includes
the 3% sales charge, which you pay when you buy shares, unless you qualify
for a reduction or waiver as described on page . When you buy shares at the
offering price, Fidelity deducts 3% and invests the rest at the NAV.
Shares are purchased at the next share price calculated after your
investment is received and accepted. Share price is normally calculated at
4 p.m. Eastern time.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO FIDELITY, complete and sign an account application and
mail it along with your check. You may also open your account in person or
by wire as described on page . If there is no application accompanying this
prospectus, call 1-800-544-8888.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE MONEY INVESTED IN A FIDELITY FUND, you can:
(bullet) Mail in an application with a check, or
(bullet) Open your account by exchanging from another Fidelity fund.
IF YOU ARE INVESTING THROUGH A TAX-SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLAN, such as an
IRA, for the first time, you will need a special application. Retirement
investing also involves its own investment procedures. Call 1-800-544-8888
for more information and a retirement application.
If you buy shares by check or Fidelity Money Line(registered trademark),
and then sell those shares by any method other than by exchange to another
Fidelity fund, the payment may be delayed for up to seven business days to
ensure that your previous investment has cleared.

TRANSACTION SERVICES
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE. You may sell your fund shares and buy shares of other
Fidelity funds by telephone or in writing. The shares you exchange will
carry credit for any sales charge you previously paid in connection with
their purchase.
Note that exchanges out of the fund are limited to four per calendar year,
and that they may have tax consequences for you. For details on policies
and restrictions governing exchanges, including circumstances under which a
shareholder's exchange privilege may be suspended or revoked, see page .
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLANS let you set up periodic redemptions from your
account. Because of the fund's sales charge, you may not want to set up a
systematic withdrawal plan during a period when you are buying shares on a
regular basis.
FIDELITY MONEY LINE(Registered trademark) enables you to transfer money by
phone between your bank account and your fund account. Most transfers are
complete within three business days of your call.
REGULAR INVESTMENT PLANS
One easy way to pursue your financial goals is to invest money regularly.
Fidelity offers convenient services that let you transfer money into your
fund account, or between fund accounts, automatically. While regular
investment plans do not guarantee a profit and will not protect you against
loss in a declining market, they can be an excellent way to invest for
retirement, a home, educational expenses, and other long-term financial
goals. Certain restrictions apply for retirement accounts. Call
1-800-544-6666 for more information.

A BECAUSE ITS SHARE PRICE FLUCTUATES, THE FUND MAY NOT BE AN APPROPRIATE
CHOICE FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES

DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its net income and capital gains
to shareholders each year. Normally, dividends and capital gains are
distributed in August and December.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on the
application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. The fund offers four
options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions 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. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested, but you will be sent a check for each dividend
distribution.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(Registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in another
identically registered Fidelity fund.
FOR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over 59 years old, you can receive distributions in cash.
SHARES PURCHASED THROUGH REINVESTMENT of dividend and capital gain
distributions are not subject to the fund's 3% sales charge. Likewise, if
you direct distributions to a fund with a 3% sales charge, you will not pay
a sales charge on those purchases.
When the fund deducts a distribution from its NAV, the reinvestment price
is the fund's NAV at the close of business that day. Cash distribution
checks will be mailed within seven days.
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
As a fund shareholder, you
are entitled to your share of
the fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The
fund passes its earnings
along to its investors as
DISTRIBUTIONS.
The fund earns dividends
from stocks and interest from
bond, money market, and
other investments. These are
passed along as DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund
realizes capital gains
whenever it sells securities
for a higher price than it paid
for them. These are passed
along as CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS.
(checkmark)
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
are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every January, Fidelity will send you
and the IRS a statement showing the taxable distributions paid to you in
the previous year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or loss
is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive
when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of the fund, Fidelity will send you a confirmation
statement showing how many shares you sold and at what price. You will also
receive a consolidated transaction statement every January. However, it is
up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether this sale resulted in a
capital gain and, if so, the amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your
regular account statements; the information they contain will be essential
in calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares just before the fund deducts a
distribution from its NAV, you will pay the full price for the shares and
then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable
distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. The fund may pay withholding or other taxes to
foreign governments during the year. Those taxes reduce the fund's
distributions, but are included in the taxable income reported on your tax
statement. You may be able to claim an offsetting tax credit or itemized
deduction for foreign taxes paid by the fund. Your tax statement will
generally show the amount of foreign tax for which a credit or deduction
may be available.
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 each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV and offering price as
of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time.
THE 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 then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding.
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations.
If quotations are not readily available, assets are valued by a method that
the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. Foreign
securities are valued on the basis of quotations from the primary market in
which they are traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S.
dollars using current exchange rates.
THE OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) is the fund's NAV plus a sales
charge. The sales charge is 3% of the offering price, or 3.09% of the net
amount invested. The REDEMPTION PRICE (price to sell one share) is the
fund's 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. Note that Fidelity will
not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions
if it follows 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
your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do
not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. The 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 the fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Note the following:
(bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks
must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each check must
have a value of at least $50.
(bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number of checks
processed at one time.
(bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be cancelled and
you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or its transfer agent
has incurred.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money order,
U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit instead.
YOU MAY BUY SHARES OF THE FUND (AT THE OFFERING PRICE) OR SELL THEM THROUGH
A BROKER, who may charge you a fee for this service. If you invest through
a broker or other institution, read its program materials for any
additional service features or fees that may apply.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements with
FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone,
with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on
the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the
financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your request is received and accepted. Note the
following:
(bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to you on the next
business day, but if making immediate payment could adversely affect the
fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be credited to
your bank account on the second or third business day after your phone
call.
(bullet) The fund may hold payment on redemptions until it is reasonably
satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity Money Line have been
collected, which can take up to seven business days.
(bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the
NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE
is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your
account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC collects the proceeds from the fund's 3% sales charge and may pay a
portion of them to securities dealers who have sold the fund's shares, or
to others, including banks and other financial institutions (qualified
recipients), under special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales
activities. The sales charge paid to qualified recipients is 2.25% of the
fund's offering price.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to qualified
recipients who support the sale of shares of the fund without reimbursement
from the fund. In some instances, these incentives may be offered only to
certain institutions whose representatives provide services in connection
with the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund
for shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the following:
(bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered for sale in
your state.
(bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are registered in the
same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you pay the
percentage-point difference between that fund's sales charge and any sales
charge you have previously paid in connection with the shares you are
exchanging. For example, if you had already paid a sales charge of 2% on
your shares and you exchange them into a fund with a 3% sales charge, you
would pay an additional 1% sales charge.
(bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance and
shareholders, the fund reserves the right to temporarily or permanently
terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four
exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common
ownership or control, including accounts with the same taxpayer
identification number, will be counted together for purposes of the four
exchange limit.
(bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts in certain
institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and
Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials for further
information.
(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.
(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 coincide s
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to the fund.
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.
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.
SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS
REDUCTIONS. The fund's sales charge may be reduced if you invest directly
with Fidelity or through prototype or prototype-like retirement plans
sponsored by FMR or FMR Corp. The amount you invest, plus the value of your
account, must fall within the ranges shown below. However, purchases made
with assistance or intervention from a financial intermediary are not
eligible. Call Fidelity to see if your purchase qualifies.
Ranges Sales charge Net amount invested

$0 - 249,999 3% 3.09%

$250,000 - 499,999 2% 2.04%

$500,000 - 999,999 1% 1.01%

$1,000,000 or more none none

The sales charge will also be reduced by the percentage of any sales charge
you previously paid on investments in other Fidelity funds (not including
Fidelity's Foreign Currency Funds). Similarly, your shares carry credit for
any sales charge you would have paid if the reductions in the table above
had not existed. These sales charge credits only apply to purchases made in
one of the ways listed below, and only if you continuously owned Fidelity
fund shares or a Fidelity brokerage core account, or participated in The
CORPORATEplan for Retirement Program.
1. By exchange from another Fidelity fund.
2. With proceeds of a transaction within a Fidelity brokerage core account,
including any free credit balance, core money market fund, or margin
availability, to the extent such proceeds were derived from redemption
proceeds from another Fidelity fund.
3. With redemption proceeds from one of Fidelity's Foreign Currency Funds,
if the Foreign Currency Fund shares were originally purchased with
redemption proceeds from a Fidelity fund.
4. Through the Directed Dividends Option (see page ).
5. By participants in The CORPORATEplan for Retirement Program when shares
are purchased through plan-qualified loan repayments, and for exchanges
into and out of the Managed Income Portfolio.
WAIVERS. The fund's sales charge will not apply:
1. If you buy shares as part of an employee benefit plan having more than
200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3 million in plan assets invested
in Fidelity mutual funds. Plan sponsors are encouraged to notify Fidelity
when they first satisfy either of these requirements.
2. To shares in a Fidelity Rollover IRA account purchased with the proceeds
of a distribution from an employee benefit plan, provided that at the time
of the distribution, the employer or its affiliate maintained a plan that
both qualified for waiver (1) above and had at least some of its assets
invested in Fidelity-managed products.
3. If you are a charitable organization (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code) investing $100,000 or more.
4. If you purchase shares for a charitable remainder trust or life income
pool established for the benefit of a charitable organization (as defined
by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code).
5. If you are an investor participating in the Fidelity Trust Portfolios
program.
6. To shares purchased through Portfolio Advisory Services.
7. If you are a current or former trustee or officer of a Fidelity fund or
a current or retired officer, director, or regular employee of FMR Corp. or
its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a Fidelity Trustee or employee), the
spouse of a Fidelity trustee or employee, a Fidelity trustee or employee
acting as custodian for a minor child, or a person acting as trustee of a
trust for the sole benefit of the minor child of a Fidelity trustee or
employee.
8. If you are a bank trust officer, registered representative, or other
employee of a qualified recipient, as defined on page 24.
9. To contributions and exchanges to a prototype or prototype -
like retirement plan sponsored by FMR Corp. or FMR and which is marketed
and distributed directly to plan sponsors or participants without any
assistance or intervention from any intermediary distribution channel.
10. If you invest through a non-prototype pension or profit-sharing plan
that maintains all of its mutual fund assets in Fidelity mutual funds,
provided the plan executes a Fidelity non-prototype sales charge waiver
request form confirming its qualification.
11. If you are a registered investment adviser (RIA) purchasing for your
discretionary accounts, provided you execute a Fidelity RIA load waiver
agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating
provisions. Except for correspondents of National Financial Services
Corporation, this waiver is available only for shares purchased directly
from Fidelity, and is unavailable if the RIA is part of an organization
principally engaged in the brokerage business.
12. If you are a trust institution or bank trust department purchasing for
your non-discretionary, non-retirement fiduciary accounts, provided you
execute a Fidelity Trust load waiver agreement which specifies certain
aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only
for shares purchased either directly from Fidelity or through a
bank-affiliated broker, and is unavailable if the trust department or
institution is part of an organization not principally engaged in banking
or trust activities.
These waivers must be qualified through FDC in advance. More detailed
information about waivers (1), (2), (5), (9) and (11) is contained
in the Statement of Additional Information. A representative of your plan
or organization should call Fidelity for more information.

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 will 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 cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the fund.
However, except for the fundamental investment limitations set forth below,
the investment policies and limitations described in this Statement of
Additional Information 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) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(2) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not
exceeding 33 1/3% of its 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;
(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;
(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) 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;
(5) 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);
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent
the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from
investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical
commodities); or
(7) 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.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) To meet federal tax requirements for qualification as a "regulated
investment company," the fund limits its investments so that at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year: (a) with regard to at least 50% of
total assets, no more than 5% of total assets are invested in the
securities of a single issuer, and (b) no more than 25% of total assets are
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Limitations (a) and (b) do
not apply to "government securities" as defined for federal tax purposes.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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 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 (2)). 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.
(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.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest in interests of real
estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable, or to invest in
interests of real estate limited partnerships that are not listed on the
New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or traded on the
NASDAQ National Market System.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 5% 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.)
(viii) 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 a reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(ix) 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.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to purchase warrants, valued at the
lower of cost or market, in excess of 5% of the fund's net assets. Included
in that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the fund's net assets, may be
warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American
Stock Exchange. Warrants acquired by the fund in units or attached to
securities are not subject to these restrictions.
(xi) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(xii) 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 issuers together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the
section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
beginning on page .
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 Investment Company Act of 1940. 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, the Board of Trustees has established
and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving
affiliated financial institutions.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. The fund, however, may
exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views on
important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, and
shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters could have
a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company.
The activities that the fund may engage in, either individually or in
conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing
proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities;
seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in
a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of
the company or a portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing third
party takeover efforts. This area of corporate activity is increasingly
prone to litigation and it is possible that the fund could be involved in
lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with
a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation
against the fund and the risk of actual liability if the fund is involved
in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against
the fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller
at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date within a number of days from
the date of purchase. 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. A repurchase agreement involves the
obligation of the seller to pay the agreed-upon price, which obligation is
in effect secured by the value (at least equal to the amount of the
agreed-upon resale price and marked to market daily) of the underlying
security. The fund may engage in a repurchase agreement with respect to any
security in which it is authorized to invest. While it does not presently
appear possible to eliminate all risks from these transactions
(particularly the possibility of a decline in the market value of the
underlying securities, as well as delays and costs to the fund in
connection with bankruptcy proceedings), it is the fund's current policy to
limit repurchase agreement transactions to those 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.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. The fund has received permission from the SEC
to lend money to and borrow from other funds advised by FMR or its
affiliates. Interfund loans and borrowings normally will extend overnight,
but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one
day's notice. The fund will lend through the program only when the returns
are higher than those available at the same time 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. The 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.
SECURITIES LENDING. The fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and
a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities lending allows the fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Since there may be
delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of rights in
collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good standing. Furthermore,
they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment, the consideration to be
earned from such loans would justify the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that the fund
may engage in loan transactions only under the following conditions: (1)
the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of cash or cash
equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the borrower; (2) the
borrower must increase the collateral whenever the market value of the
securities loaned (determined on a daily basis) rises above the value of
the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the fund must be able to terminate
the loan at any time; (4) the fund must receive reasonable interest on the
loan or a flat fee from the borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any
dividends, interest, or other distributions on the securities loaned and to
any increase in market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable
custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees
must be able to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by
terminating the loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with
the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in any security in
which the fund is authorized to invest. Investing this cash subjects that
investment, as well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
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, over-the-counter options, and non-government
stripped fixed-rate mortgage backed securities. Also, FMR may determine
some restricted securities, government stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed
securities, emerging market securities, and swap agreements to be illiquid.
However, with respect to over-the-counter options the fund writes, all or a
portion of the value of the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending
on the assets held to cover the option and the nature and terms of any
agreement the fund may have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are priced 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.
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, the 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, the fund might obtain
a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration
of the security.
SWAP AGREEMENTS. Swap agreements can be individually negotiated and
structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of
investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap
agreements may increase or decrease the fund's exposure to long- or
short-term interest rates (in the U.S. or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as
security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different
forms and are known by a variety of names. The fund is not limited to any
particular form of swap agreement if FMR determines it is consistent with
the fund's investment objective and policies.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only
under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by
the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the
right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is
obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements
of buying a cap and selling a floor.
Swap agreements will tend to shift the fund's investment exposure from one
type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange
payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement
would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and
increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and
floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on
how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall
volatility of the fund's investments and its share price.
The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the
change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that
determine the amounts of payments due to and from the fund. If a swap
agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make
such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness
declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline,
potentially resulting in losses. The fund expects to be able to eliminate
its exposure under swap agreements either by assignment or other
disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same
party or a similarly creditworthy party.
The fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account to cover its current obligations under swap agreements. If the fund
enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it will segregate assets with
a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of the fund's accrued
obligations under the swap agreement over the accrued amount the fund is
entitled to receive under the agreement. If the fund enters into a swap
agreement on other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a value
equal to the full amount of the fund's accrued obligations under the
agreement.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase securities whose prices are
indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies,
precious metals or other commodities, or other financial indicators.
Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or
deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference
to a specific instrument or statistic. Gold-indexed securities, for
example, typically provide for a maturity value that depends on the price
of gold, resulting in a security whose price tends to rise and fall
together with gold prices. Currency-indexed securities typically are
short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or
interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more
specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S.
dollar-denominated securities of equivalent issuers. Currency-indexed
securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity
value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting
in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument,
or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase,
resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on
the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices
that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies
relative to each other.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they
are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the
U.S. and abroad. At the same time, indexed securities are subject to the
credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values
may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.
Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and
certain U.S. government agencies. Indexed securities may be more volatile
than the underlying instruments.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. Foreign investments can involve significant risks in
addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments. The value of securities
denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, and of dividends and
interest from such securities, can change significantly when foreign
currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign
securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity
than U.S. markets, and prices on some foreign markets can be highly
volatile. Many foreign countries lack uniform accounting and disclosure
standards comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies, and it may be
more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding an issuer's
financial condition and operations. In addition, the costs of foreign
investing, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and
custodial costs, are generally higher than for U.S. investments.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets.
Foreign issuers, brokers, and securities markets may be subject to less
government supervision. Foreign security trading practices, including those
involving the release of assets in advance of payment, may involve
increased risks in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a
broker-dealer, and may involve substantial delays. It may also be difficult
to enforce legal rights in foreign countries.
Investing abroad also involves different political and economic risks.
Foreign investments may be affected by actions of foreign governments
adverse to the interests of U.S. investors, including the possibility of
expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation,
restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or
convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. There
may be a greater possibility of default by foreign governments or foreign
government-sponsored enterprises. Investments in foreign countries also
involve a risk of local political, economic, or social instability,
military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments. There is no
assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or
counter their effects.
The considerations noted above generally are intensified for investments in
developing countries. Developing countries may have relatively unstable
governments, economies based on only a few industries, and securities
markets that trade a small number of securities.
The fund may invest in foreign securities that impose restrictions on
transfer within the U.S. or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid
than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such
restrictions.
American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts (ADRs and
EDRs) are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign-based
issuer held in trust by a bank or similar financial institution. Designed
for use in U.S. and European securities markets, respectively, ADRs and
EDRs are alternatives to the purchase of the underlying securities in their
national markets and currencies.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may hold foreign currency deposits
from time to time, and may convert dollars and foreign currencies in the
foreign exchange markets. Currency conversion involves dealer spreads and
other costs, although commissions usually are not charged. Currencies may
be exchanged on a spot (i.e., cash) basis, or by entering into forward
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date and
price. Forward contracts generally are traded in an interbank market
conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial
banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to
offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the
contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.
The fund may use currency forward contracts to manage currency risks and to
facilitate transactions in foreign securities. The following discussion
summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward
contracts that could be used by the fund.
In connection with purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign
currencies, the fund may enter into currency forward contracts to fix a
definite price for the purchase or sale in advance of the trade's
settlement date. This technique is sometimes referred to as a "settlement
hedge" or "transaction hedge." FMR expects to enter into settlement hedges
in the normal course of managing the fund's foreign investments. The fund
could also enter into forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign
currency in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities
denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not
yet been selected by FMR.
The fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the
value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example,
if the fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter
into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars
to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge,
sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both
positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes
in security values caused by other factors. The fund could also hedge the
position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the
pound sterling - for example, by entering into a forward contract to sell
Deutschemarks or European Currency Units in return for U.S. dollars. This
type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not
hedge currency exposure as effectively as a simple hedge into U.S. dollars.
Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not
perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are
denominated.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover
currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, the fund will
segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if any, whose purpose
is essentially speculative. The fund will not segregate assets to cover
forward contracts entered into for hedging purposes, including settlement
hedges, position hedges, and proxy hedges.
Successful use of forward currency contracts will depend on FMR's skill in
analyzing and predicting currency values. Forward contracts may
substantially change the fund's investment exposure to changes in currency
exchange rates, and could result in losses to the fund if currencies do not
perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a
time when FMR had hedged the fund by selling that currency in exchange for
dollars, the fund would be unable to participate in the currency's
appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, the
fund could realize currency losses from the hedge and the security position
at the same time if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if
FMR increases the fund's exposure to a foreign currency, and that
currency's value declines, the fund will realize a loss. There is no
assurance that FMR's use of forward currency contracts will be advantageous
to the fund or that it will hedge at an appropriate time.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund has filed a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the
futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the
Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can
commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.
In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put
options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's
total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal
conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a
result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of
purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its
total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current
value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would
exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to
options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. When the fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees to
purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. When
the fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when the fund enters into the contract. Some
currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities,
such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of
securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks (S&P 500(registered trademark)). Futures can be held until their
delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary
market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem
with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures
contracts will tend to increase the fund's exposure to positive and
negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had
purchased the underlying instrument directly. When the fund sells a futures
contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move
in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts,
therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price
changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is
not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the
contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and
seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker,
known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered
into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the
contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to
settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may
be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and
variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin
for purposes of the fund's investment limitations. In the event of the
bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of the fund, the fund may
be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount
received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to
the fund.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the fund
obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying
instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the fund pays
the current market price for the option (known as the option premium).
Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific
securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price. The fund may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market
exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security
prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price
does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put
buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium
paid, plus related transaction costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to
purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's
strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential
price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost
of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can
expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to
offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. When the fund writes a put option, it takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return
for receipt of the premium, the fund assumes the obligation to pay the
strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to
the option chooses to exercise it. When writing an option on a futures
contract the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts. The fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes before exercise by closing out the
option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary
market is not liquid for a put option the fund has written, however, the
fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit,
although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it
received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that
the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the
option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would
expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from
purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium
received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the fund to sell or deliver the option's
underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the
option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of
writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable
strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option
premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the
same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying
instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is
greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security
price increases.
COMBINED POSITIONS. The fund may purchase and write options in combination
with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to
adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For
example, the fund may purchase a put option and write a call option on the
same underlying instrument, in order to construct a combined position whose
risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract.
Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at
one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, in order to
reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial
price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades,
they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open
and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of types
of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the
standardized contracts available will not match the fund's current or
anticipated investments exactly. The fund may invest in options and futures
contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other
characteristics from the securities in which it typically invests which
involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the
performance of the fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match the fund's
investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors
as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility
of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of
the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect
correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options
and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences
in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of
daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. The fund may purchase or
sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to
compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the
securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price
changes in the fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated
with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated
gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other
investments.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a liquid
secondary market will exist for any particular option or futures contract
at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and
liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying
instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily
price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt
trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit
in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit
is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible for the fund
to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the
secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation
limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable
positions, and potentially could require the fund to continue to hold a
position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value.
As a result, the fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or
futures positions could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with
respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and
strike price, the terms of over-the-counter options (options not traded on
exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other
party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the
fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options
generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which
are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are
traded.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that
they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are
standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures
contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying
instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally
is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures
contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase
the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the
right to sell the underlying currency.
The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options
and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. The fund
may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency
options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign
currencies. The fund may also purchase and write currency options in
conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts.
Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with
exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of
the fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a
Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect
the fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the
issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of the fund's
foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other
than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency
options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over
time.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. The fund will comply with
guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to coverage of options and futures strategies by mutual funds, and
if the guidelines so require will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities held in a
segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or option strategy is
outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable assets. As a
result, there is a possibility that segregation of a large percentage of
the fund's assets could impede portfolio management or the fund's ability
to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." 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 expense, in connection with opening,
maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.
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. Since FMR has granted investment management authority to the
sub-advisers (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), the
sub-advisers are 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. 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; the
reasonableness of any commissions; and arrangements for payment of fund
expenses. Commissions for foreign investments traded on foreign exchanges
generally will be higher than for U.S. investments and may not be subject
to negotiation.
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; the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing analyses
and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and effecting
securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such
as clearance and settlement). The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) in accordance with a ranking of broker-dealers determined
periodically by FMR's investment staff based upon the quality of such
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
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, Ltd. (FBSL), subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if
the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged
by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers who have entered
into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a
portion of the commissions paid by the fund toward payment of the fund's
expenses, such as transfer agent fees or custodian fees. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.
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.
The Trustees 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 period September 17, 1993 (commencement of operations)
through June 30, 1994, the fund's annualized portfolio turnover rate was
320 %.
For fiscal 1994, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $ 173,973 .
During fiscal 1994, $ 95,225 or approximately 55 % of
these commissions were paid to brokerage firms that provided research
services, although the provisions of such services was not necessarily a
factor in the placement of all of this business with such firms. The fund
pays both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of
portfolio transactions; FBSI is paid on a commission basis. During fiscal
1994, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $ 25,431 to FBSI. During
fiscal 1994, this amounted to approximately 15 % of the aggregate
brokerage commissions paid by the f und for transactions involving
approximately 16 % of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions in
which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The difference in the percentage
of brokerage commissions paid to and the percentage of the dollar amount of
transactions effected through FBSI is a result of the low commission rates
charged by FBSI.
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 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 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 OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the
primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for
which the primary market is the U.S. are valued at last sale price
or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity
securities for which the primary market is outside the U.S. are
valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the
principal market where they are traded. If the last sale price (on the
local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or last bid price
is normally used. Short-term securities are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value. Convertible securities and fixed-income securities are
valued primarily by a pricing service that uses a vendor security valuation
matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic
data processing techniques. This twofold approach is believed to more
accurately reflect fair value because it takes into account appropriate
factors such as institutional trading in similar groups of securities,
yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading
characteristics, and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon
quoted, exchange, or over-the - counter prices. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees.
Securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market
are valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.
The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of
the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method (e.g., closing
over-the-counter bid prices in the case of debt instruments traded on an
exchange) would more accurately reflect the fair market value of such
securities.
Generally, the valuation of foreign and domestic equity securities, as well
as corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, money market instruments,
and repurchase agreements, is substantially completed each day at the close
of the NYSE. The values of any such securities held by the fund are
determined as of such time for the purpose of computing the fund's net
asset value. Foreign security prices are furnished by independent brokers
or quotation services which express the value of securities in their local
currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE
using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the
value of foreign securities from their local currency into U.S. dollars.
Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate
fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of net
asset value. If an extraordinary event that is expected to materially
affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an
exchange on which that security is traded, then the security will be valued
as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of
Trustees.
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. The fund's share price, yield, and
total return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors,
and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their
original cost.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends
and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's net
asset value (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 the 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 return of
7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100%
growth on a compounded basis in ten years. Average annual returns covering
periods of less than one year are calculated by determining the fund's
total return for the period, extending that return for a full year
(assuming that return remains constant over the year), and quoting the
result as an annual return. While average annual returns are a convenient
means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that
the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to
year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed
to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the 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 and may be quoted with or
without taking the fund's 3% maximum sales charge into account.
Excluding the fund's sales charge from a total return calculation
produces a higher total return figure. Total returns, yields, and other
performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or
similar illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's net asset
values, adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to
exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the
fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated,
the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
MOVING AVERAGES. The fund may illustrate performance using moving
averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted
closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the
average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving
Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last
business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to
produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed
below its moving average. On June 24 , 1994 the 13 - week and
39 - week long-term moving averages were 10.34 and
10.56 , respectively.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows the fund's total
return for the period ended June 30, 1994. Total returns include the effect
of the fund's 3% sales charge.

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the fund's
cumulative total return. The table compares the fund's return to the record
of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks (S&P 500(registered
trademark)), 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 the fund's total return compared to the record of a broad
average of common stock prices and a narrower set of stocks of major
industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund has the
ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and its
investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the
indices. 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 and other costs of
investing.
During the period from September 17, 1993 (commencement of operations)
to June 30, 1994, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Fidelity Fifty would
have grown to $9,874, after deducting the fund's 3% sales charge and
assuming all distributions were reinvested. This was a period of
fluctuating stock prices 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 the fund today.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 made on
September 17, 1993, assuming the 3% 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 $10,0 1 0. If
distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned
by the fund over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the
period would have amounted to $10 for dividends. There were no capital
gains distributions during the period. Tax consequences of different
investments have not been factored into the above figures.
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 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 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.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include: other Fidelity funds; retirement
investing; brokerage products and services; the effects of periodic
investment plans and dollar cost averaging; 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, including model portfolios or allocations, 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(double dagger) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark
correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare
the fund's historical share price fluctuations or total returns to those of
a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a
comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation
are calculated using averages of historical data.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's
percentage change in price movements over that period.
The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program,
an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals,
thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when
prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard
against a loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share
can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same
intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their
ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.
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 June 30, 1994, FMR advised over $40 billion in tax-free fund
assets, $70 billion in money market fund assets, $150 billion in equity
fund assets, $35 billion in international fund assets, and $20 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.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
Pursuant to Rule 22d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act), FDC exercises its right to waive the fund's front-end sales
charge on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital
gain distributions or in connection with the fund's merger with or
acquisition of any investment company or trust. In addition, FDC has chosen
to waive the fund's sales charge in certain instances because of
efficiencies involved in those sales of shares. The sales charge will not
apply:
(1) to shares purchased in connection with an employee benefit plan
(including the Fidelity-sponsored 403(b) and corporate IRA programs but
otherwise as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act)
maintained by a U.S. employer and having more than 200 eligible employees,
or a minimum of $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in Fidelity mutual
funds, or as part of an employee benefit plan maintained by a U.S. employer
that is a member of a parent-subsidiary group of corporations (within the
meaning of Section 1563(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, with "50%"
substituted for "80%") any member of which maintains an employee benefit
plan having more than 200 eligible employees, or a minimum of $3,000,000 in
plan assets invested in Fidelity mutual funds, or as part of an employee
benefit plan maintained by a non-U.S. employer having 200 or more eligible
employees, or a minimum of $3,000,000 in assets invested in Fidelity mutual
funds, the assets of which are held in a bona fide trust for the
exclusive benefit of employees participating therein;
(2) to shares purchased by an insurance company separate account
used to fund annuity contracts purchased by employee benefit plans
(including 403(b) programs, but otherwise as defined in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act), which, in the aggregate, have
either more than 200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3,000,000 in
assets invested in Fidelity funds;
(3) to shares in a Fidelity IRA account purchased (including
purchases by exchange) with the proceeds of a distribution from an employee
benefit plan provided that: (i) at the time of the distribution, the
employer, or an affiliate (as described in exemption (1) above) of such
employer, maintained at least one employee benefit plan that qualified for
exemption (1) and that had at least some portion of its assets invested in
one or more mutual funds advised by FMR, or in one or more accounts or
pools advised by Fidelity Management Trust Company; and (ii) the
distribution is transferred from the plan to a Fidelity Rollover IRA
account within 60 days from the date of the distribution;
(4) to shares purchased by a charitable organization (as defined in
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) investing $100,000 or
more;
(5) to shares purchased for a charitable remainder trust or life
income pool established for the benefit of a charitable organization (as
defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code);
(6) to shares purchased by an investor participating in the Fidelity
Trust Portfolios program (these investors must make initial investments of
$100,000 or more in Trust Portfolios funds and must, during the initial six
month period, reach and maintain an aggregate balance of at least
$500,000 in all accounts and subaccounts purchased through the Trust
Portfolios program);
(7) to shares purchased through Portfolio Advisory Services;
(8) to shares purchased by a current or former Trustee or officer of
a Fidelity fund or a current or retired officer, director, or regular
employee of FMR Corp. or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a Fidelity
Trustee or employee), the spouse of a Fidelity Trustee or employee, a
Fidelity Trustee or employee acting as custodian for a minor child, or a
person acting as trustee of a trust for the sole benefit of the
minor child of a Fidelity Trustee or employee;
(9) to shares purchased by a bank trust officer, registered
representative, or other employee of a Qualified Recipient. Qualified
Recipients are securities dealers or other entities, including banks and
other financial institutions, who have sold the fund's shares under
special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales activities;
(10) to shares purchased by contributions and exchanges to the
following prototype or prototype-like retirement plans sponsored by FMR
Corp. or FMR and that are marketed and distributed directly to plan
sponsors or participants without any intervention or assistance from any
intermediary distribution channel: The Fidelity IRA, The Fidelity Rollover
IRA, The Fidelity SEP-IRA and SARSEP, The Fidelity Retirement Plan,
Fidelity Defined Benefit Plan, The Fidelity Group IRA, The Fidelity 403(b)
Program, The Fidelity Investments 401(a) Prototype Plan for Tax-Exempt
Employers, and The CORPORATEplan for Retirement (Profit Sharing and
Money Purchase Plan);
(11) to shares purchased as part of a pension or profit-sharing plan
as defined in section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code that maintains
all of its mutual fund assets in Fidelity mutual funds, provided the
plan executes a Fidelity non-prototype sales charge waiver request
form confirming its qualification;
(12) to shares purchased by a registered investment adviser (RIA)
for his or her discretionary accounts, provided he or she executes a
Fidelity RIA load waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate
minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only for
shares purchased directly from Fidelity, without a broker, unless
purchased through a brokerage firm which is a correspondent of
National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC). The waiver is
unavailable, however, if the RIA is part of an organization principally
engaged in the brokerage business, unless the brokerage firm in the
organization is an NFSC correspondent; or
(13) to shares purchased by a trust institution or bank trust
department for its non-discretionary, non-retirement fiduciary accounts,
provided it executes a Fidelity Trust load waiver agreement which
specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver
is available only for shares purchased either directly from Fidelity or
through a bank-affiliated broker, and is unavailable if the trust
department or institution is part of an organization not principally
engaged in banking or trust activities.
The fund's sales charge may be reduced to reflect sales charges previously
paid, or that would have been paid absent a reduction fo r some
purchases made directly with Fidelity as noted in the prospectus, in
connection with investments in other Fidelity funds. This includes
reductions for investments in prototype-like retirement plans sponsored by
FMR or FMR Corp., which are listed above.
The fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV) is
calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.
The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1994:
Washington's Birthday (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed),
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day
(observed). Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule, with the
addition of New Year's Day, to be observed in the future, the NYSE may
modify its holiday schedule at any time.
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculated earlier
if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the SEC. To the
extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days when
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. In
addition, trading in some of the fund's portfolio securities may not occur
on days when the fund is open for business.
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 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 Investment Company Act of 1940 (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
an 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.
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. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the
extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends. Because
the fund may earn other types of income, such as interest, income from
securities loans, non-qualifying dividends, and short-term capital gains,
the percentage of dividends from the fund that qualifies for the deduction
generally will be less than 100%. The fund will notify corporate
shareholders annually of the percentage of fund dividends that qualifies
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. Gains (losses) attributable to foreign currency
fluctuations are generally taxable as ordinary income, and therefore will
increase (decrease) dividend distributions. Short-term capital gains are
distributed as dividend income. The fund will send each shareholder a
notice in January describing the tax status of dividends and capital gain
distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund on
the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are federally
taxable as long-term capital gains regardless of the length of time
shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives a long-term
capital gain distribution on shares of the fund and such shares are held
six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss equal to
the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be considered a
long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains distributed by
the fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains.

FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities typically at a rate
between 10% and 35%. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on
other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because the
fund 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 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 intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies, including a requirement that
capital gains from the sale of securities held less than three months
constitute less than 30% of the fund's gross income for each fiscal year.
Gains from some forward currency contracts, futures contracts, and options
are included in this 30% calculation, which may limit the fund's
investments in such instruments.
If the fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities,
defined as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in the Internal
Revenue Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of
any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of such shares.
Interest charges may also be imposed on the fund with respect to deferred
taxes arising from such distributions or gains. Generally, the fund will
elect to mark-to-market any PFIC shares. Unrealized gains will be
recognized as income for tax purposes and must be distributed to
shareholders as dividends.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds
of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust 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.

service. Currently, Messrs. Robert L. Johnson, William R. Spaulding,

As of June 30, 1994, the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
All of the stock of FMR is owned by a parent company, FMR Corp. Through
ownership of voting common stock and the execution of a shareholders'
voting agreement, Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various
trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family form a controlling group with
respect to FMR Corp.
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, and
compensates all officers of the trust, all Trustees who are "interested
persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the trust 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
law; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and
furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to
the Board of Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
FSC, the fund pays all of its expenses, without limitation, that are not
assumed by those parties. The fund pays for typesetting, printing, and
mailing proxy material s to shareholders, legal expenses, and the
fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. Although the
fund's management contract provides that the fund will pay for typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information,
notices, and reports to existing shareholders, pursuant to the trust's
transfer agent agreement with FSC, FSC bears the cost of providing these
services to existing shareholders. 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 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 the trust's officers and Trustees with respect to
litigation.
FMR is the fund's manager pursuant to a management contract dated July 15,
1993, which was approved by FMR, then the sole shareholder, on August 27,
1993. For the services of FMR under the contract, the fund pays FMR a
monthly management fee composed of the sum of two elements: a basic fee and
a performance adjustment based on a comparison of the fund's performance to
that of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P
500).
COMPUTING THE BASIC FEE. The fund's basic fee rate is composed of two
elements: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate. The group fee
rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered
investment companies with which FMR has management contracts and is
calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate
schedule shown on the left of the chart below. On the right, the effective
fee rate schedule shows the results of cumulatively applying the annualized
rates at varying asset levels. For example, the effective annual fee rate
at $256 billion of group net assets - their approximate level for
June 1994 - was .3217 %, which is the weighted average of the
respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $256
billion.

*The rates shown for average group assets in excess of $174 billion were
adopted by FMR on a voluntary basis on November 1, 1993 pending shareholder
approval of a new management contract reflecting the extended schedule. The
extended schedule was further revised and voluntarily adopted by FMR on
August 1, 1994 to provide for lower management fees as total
assets under management increase.
The individual fund fee rate is .30%. Based on the average net assets of
funds advised by FMR for June 1994, the annual basic fee rate would be
calculated as follows:
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Basic Fee Rate

. 3217 % + .30% = . 6217 %

One twelfth (1/12) of this annual basic fee rate is then applied to the
fund's average net assets for the current month, giving a dollar amount
which is the fee for that month.
COMPUTING THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The basic fee is subject to upward or
downward adjustment, depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's
investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded
by, the record of the S&P 500 over the same period. Each percentage point
of difference (up to a maximum difference of " 10) is multiplied by a
performance adjustment rate of .02%. Thus, the maximum annualized
adjustment rate is " .20%. This performance comparison is made at the end
of each month. One twelfth (1/12) of this rate is then applied to the
fund's average net assets for the entire performance period, giving a
dollar amount which will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.
The fund's performance is calculated based on change in net asset value.
For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or
capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if reinvested in
fund shares at the net asset value as of the record date for payment. The
record of the S&P 500 is based on change in value and is adjusted for any
cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the S&P 500.
The performance period commenced on October 1, 1993. Starting with
the twelfth month ( September 1994), the performance adjustment takes
effect. Each month subsequent to S eptember 1994, a new month is
added to the performance period until the performance period equals 36
months. Thereafter, the performance period will consist of the most recent
month plus the 35 previous months.
Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on the fund's performance
compared to the investment record of the S&P 500, the controlling factor is
not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is
up or down more or less than the record of the S&P 500. Moreover, the
comparative investment performance of the fund is based solely on the
relevant performance period without regard to the cumulative performance
over a longer or shorter period of time.
During the fiscal period ended June 30, 1994, FMR received $ 217,139
for its services as investment adviser to the fund. The basic fee was
equivalent to .63 % (annualized) of the fund's average net assets for
this period.
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 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 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 custodian fees attributable to
investments in foreign securities.
SUB-ADVISERS. FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K.
and FMR Far East. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may
receive investment advice and research services outside the United States
from the sub-advisers. FMR may also grant the sub-advisers
investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell
securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in
countries other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia, and
the Pacific Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East are wholly owned subsidiaries of FMR. Under
the sub-advisory agreements FMR pays the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far East.
For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services,
FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%,
respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection
with providing investment advice and research services.
For providing discretionary investment management and executing
portfolio transactions, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to
50% of its monthly management fee (including any performance adjustment)
with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on
a discretionary basis.
For providing investment advice and research services, the fees paid
to FMR U.K. and FMR Far East for fiscal 1994 were $436 and
$590 respectively.
There were no fees paid to FMR U.K. and FMR Far East for fiscal 1994 for
discretionary investment management and portfolio transaction
execution service s .
CONTRACTS WITH COMPANIES AFFILIATED WITH FMR
FSC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholders' servicing agent for
the fund. Under the trust's contract with FSC, the fund pays an annual fee
of $26.03 per basic retail account with a balance of $5,000 or more, $15.31
per basic retail account with a balance of less than $5,000, and a
supplemental activity charge of $2.25 for standing order transactions and
$6.11 for other monetary transactions. These fees and charges are subject
to annual cost escalation based on postal rate changes and changes in wage
and price levels as measured by the National Consumer Price Index for Urban
Areas. With respect to certain institutional client master accounts, the
fund pays FSC a per account fee of $95.00 and monetary transaction charges
of $20.00 or $17.50, depending on the nature of services provided. With
respect to certain broker-dealer master accounts, the fund pays FSC a
per-account fee of $30, and a charge of $6 for monetary transactions. Fees
for certain institutional retirement plan accounts are based on the net
assets of all such accounts in the fund.
Under the contract, FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with
providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC 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 FSC for the
fiscal period September 17, 1993 (commencement of operations) through June
30, 1994 were $ 205,962 . If a portion of the fund's brokerage
commissions had not resulted in payment of certain of these fees, the fund
would have paid transfer agent fees of $ 206,018 .
The trust's contract with FSC also provides that FSC will perform the
calculations necessary to determine the fund's net asset value per share
and dividends, and maintain the fund's accounting records. The fee rates
are based on the fund's average net assets, specifically, .06% for the
first $500 million of average net assets and .03% for average net assets in
excess of $500 million. The fee is limited to a minimum of $45,000 and a
maximum of $750,000 per year. Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including
related out-of-pocket expenses, paid to FSC for fiscal 1994 were
$ 36,133 .
FSC also receives fees for administering the fund's securities lending
program. Securities lending fees are based on the number and duration of
individual securities loans. There were no s ecurities lending fees
paid for fiscal 1994 .
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 the fund, which are continuously offered.
Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and
sale of shares are paid by FDC. Sales charge revenue paid to FDC for fiscal
1994 amounted to $602,138 .
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Fifty is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street
Trust (the trust), an open-end management investment company originally
organized under the name Fidelity Fund as a Massachusetts corporation on
May 1, 1930, and reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust on December
31, 1984. The Trust's name was changed to Fidelity Hastings Street
Trust on April 30, 1993. Currently there are two funds of the trust:
Fidelity Fund and Fidelity Fifty. The Declaration of Trust permits the
Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the trust or 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 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 an entity of the type
commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts
law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the trust. The Declaration of
Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that
each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees include a provision limiting the obligations created
thereby to the trust and its assets. The Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Declaration of Trust
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 a fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects Trustees
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 nonassessible,
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 Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the trust or a 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 another open-end management
investment company, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets, if
approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the trust or the fund. If not so terminated, the trust and its funds will
continue indefinitely.
CUSTODIAN. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, 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. The fund may, however, invest
in obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities from or sell
securities to the custodian.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies and the trust's
Trustees may from time to time have transactions with various banks,
including banks serving as custodians for certain of the funds advised by
FMR. The Boston branch of the fund's custodian leases its office space from
an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when entered into, was
consistent with prevailing market rates. 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. Coopers & Lybrand L. L. P. , One Post Office Square, Boston,
Massachusetts serves as the trust's independent accountant. The auditor
examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax,
and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
period ended June 30, 1994 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.

KEY FACTS

THE FUND AT A GLANCE
GOAL: Long-term capital growth. To provide a current return, the fund also
seeks current income. As with any mutual fund, there is no assurance that
the fund will achieve its goal.
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in common stock and securities that are
convertible into common stock.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the management
arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946 and is now
America's largest mutual fund manager.
SIZE: As of June 30, 1994, the fund had over $1.6 billion in assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund may be appropriate for investors who are willing to ride out stock
market fluctuations in pursuit of potentially high long-term returns. The
fund is designed for those looking for long-term growth potential and some
current income from equity and some bond investments. The fund is not in
itself a balanced investment plan.
The value of the fund's investments and the income they
generate varies from day to day, generally reflecting changes in
market conditions, interest rates, and other company, political,
and economic news. Stocks, although more volatile, have
historically shown greater growth potential than other types of
securities. In the shorter term, however, stock prices can fluctuate
dramatically in response to these factors. The prices of
bonds typically move in th e opposite direction
fr o m interest rates. When you sell your fund shares, they may be
worth more or less than what you paid for them.

THE SPECTRUM OF
FIDELITY FUNDS

funds are presented here in
order of ascending risk.

shares of a fund.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The fund
pays a management fee to FMR. It also incurs other expenses for services
such as maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder
statements and financial reports. The fund's expenses are factored into its
share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page ).
The following are projections based on historical expenses, and are
calculated as a percentage of average net assets. A portion of the
brokerage commissions that the fund paid was used to reduce fund expenses.
Without this reduction, the total fund operating expenses would have
been .68%.
Management fee .41%

12b-1 fee None

Other expenses .24%

Total fund operating expenses .65%

After 3 years $ 21

After 5 years $ 36

After 10 years $ 81

These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.

UNDERSTANDING
EXPENSES
Operating a mutual fund
involves a variety of
expenses for portfolio
management, shareholder
statements, tax reporting, and
other services. These costs
are paid from the fund's
assets; their effect is already
factored into any quoted
share price or return.

PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance is commonly measured as TOTAL RETURN. The total
returns that follow are based on historical fund results and do not reflect
the effect of taxes.
The fund's fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30. The tables below
show the fund's performance over past fiscal years compared to two
measures: investing in a broad selection of stocks (S&P 500), and not
investing at all (inflation, or CPI). To help you compare this fund to

EXAMPLE: Let's say, hypothetically, that an investor put $10,000 in the
fund on June 30, 1984. From that date through June 30, 1994, the fund's
total return was 283. 9 4%. That $10,000 would have grown to
$38,3 9 4 (the initial investment plus 283. 9 4% of
$10,000).

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.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in the fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. Yields are
calculated according to a standard that is required for all stock and bond
funds. Because this differs from other accounting methods, the quoted yield
may not equal the income actually paid to shareholders.
THE S&P 500(registered trademark) is the Standard & Poor's Composite
Index of 500 Stocks , a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common
stock prices. The S&P 500 figures assume reinvestment of all dividends paid
by stocks included in the index. They do not, however, include any
allowance for the brokerage commissions or other fees you would pay if you
actually invested in those stocks.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. government.
THE COMPETITIVE FUNDS AVERAGE is the Lipper Growth and Income Funds
Average, which currently reflects the performance of over 267 mutual
funds with similar objectives. This average, which assumes reinvestment of
distributions, is published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.

THE FUND IN DETAIL

CHARTER
FIDELITY FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal. In technical terms, the fund
is currently a diversified fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust, an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on December 31, 1984.
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 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. Fidelity 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
The fund is managed by FMR, which chooses the fund's investments and
handles its business affairs. Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc.
(FMR U.K.), in London, England, and Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (FMR Far East), in Tokyo, Japan, assist FMR with foreign
investments.
Beth Terrana is manager of Fidelity Fund, which she has managed since
August 1, 1993. She previously managed Equity-Income, Growth &
Income, Advisor Equity: Income, and VIP Equity-Income.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) performs transfer agent
servicing functions for the fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR, FMR U.K., and FMR Far
East. Through ownership of voting common stock, members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
Changes may occur in the Johnson family group, through death or disability,
which would result in changes in each individual family member's holding of
stock. Such changes could result in one or more family members becoming
holders of over 25% of the stock. The fund has received an opinion of
counsel that changes in the composition of the Johnson family group under
these circumstances would not result in the termination of the fund's
management or distribution contracts and, accordingly, would not require a
shareholder vote to continue operation under those contracts.
A broker-dealer may use a portion of the commissions paid by the fund to
reduce the fund's custodian or transfer agent fees. FMR may use its
broker-dealer affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares to carry out
the fund's transactions, provided that the fund receives brokerage services
and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
THE FUND SEEKS LONG-TERM CAPITAL GROWTH by investing primarily in common
stocks and securities convertible into common stocks. In pursuit of a
current return, the fund invests in some securities for their income
characteristics. This two-fold approach, which may limit the
emphasis on growth, leads to investments in a broad range of domestic and
foreign equity and debt securities.
The value of the fund's investments varies based on many factors. Stock
values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and
general market and economic conditions. The value of bonds fluctuates based
on changes in interest rates and in the credit quality of the issuer. In
general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall, and vice-versa . FMR
may use various investment techniques to hedge the fund's risks, but there
is no guarantee that these strategies will work as FMR intends. When you
sell your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for
them.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The fund also reserves the right to invest without limitation in
debt securities for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, and strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective. A summary of risks and
restrictions associated with these instrument types and investment
practices is included as well. 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 to
the full extent permitted unless it believes that doing so will help the
fund achieve its goal. As a shareholder, you will receive financial reports
every six months detailing fund holdings and describing recent investment
activities.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible
securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar type, represent
an equity (ownership) interest in a corpora tion. Although equity
securities have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices
fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on
overall market and economic conditions. Smaller companies are especially
sensitive to these factors.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of a single issuer.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers to
borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or
variable rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest, but are purchased at a discount from their face values. Debt
securities have varying degrees of quality and varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Longer-term bonds are generally
more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term bonds.
Lower-quality debt securities (sometimes called "junk bonds") are often
considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of default or price
changes due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness , or they may
already be in default . The market prices of these securities may
fluctuate more than higher-quality securities and may decline significantly
in periods of general economic difficulty.
The table below provides a summary of ratings assigned to debt holdings
(not including money market instruments) in the fund's portfolio. These
figures are dollar-weighted averages of month-end portfolio holdings during
fiscal 1994, and are presented as a percentage of total security
investments. These percentages are historical and do not necessarily
indicate the fund's current or future debt holdings.

DETERMINED THAT UNRATED SECURITIES THAT ARE LOWER QUALITY ACCOUNT FOR
1.0%
OF THE FUND'S SECURITY INVESTMENTS. REFER TO THE FUND'S STATEMENT OF

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR A MORE COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THESE
RATINGS.

RESTRICTIONS: The fund does not currently intend to invest more than 35% of
its assets in lower-quality debt securities (those rated below Baa by
Moody's or BBB by S&P, and unrated securities judged by FMR to be of
equivalent quality).
FOREIGN SECURITIES and foreign currencies may involve additional risks.
These include currency fluctuations, risks relating to political or
economic conditions in the foreign country, and the potentially less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
In addition to the political and economic factors that can affect foreign
securities, a governmental issuer may be unwilling to repay principal and
interest when due, and may require that the conditions for payment be
renegotiated. These factors could make foreign investments, especially
those in developing countries, more volatile.
ASSET-BACKED AND MORTGAGE SECURITIES may include pools of consumer loans
or mortgages, such as collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped
mortgage-backed securities. The value of these securities may be
significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the market's
perception of the issuers, and the creditworthiness of the parties
involved. These securities may also be subject to prepayment risk.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. The fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices, interest
rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other factors that
affect security values. These techniques may involve derivative
transactions such as buying and selling options and futures contracts,
entering into currency exchange contracts or swap agreements, purchasing
indexed securities, and selling securities short.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics
of the fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the
fund's investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques
may increase the volatility of the fund and may involve a small investment
of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these
techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction
does not perform as promised.
DIRECT DEBT. Loans and other direct debt instruments are interests in
amounts owed to another party by a company, government, or other borrower.
They have additional risks beyond conventional debt securities because they
may entail less legal protection for the fund, or there may be a
requirement that the fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.
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.
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 other securities, including illiquid securities, 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 assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
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.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in
any one issuer and may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any
one industry. These limitations do not apply to U.S. government securities.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money,
its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing
is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are
outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
LENDING. Lending securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
FBSI, an affiliate of FMR, is a means of earning income. This practice
could result in a loss or a delay in recovering the fund's securities. The
fund may also lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of the fund's
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 paragraph restates all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraph, can be changed without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks long-term capital growth. In order to provide a reasonable
current return to shareholders on their capital, the fund to some extent
limits the emphasis on the growth objective by investing a portion of its
assets in securities selected for their current income characteristics. The
fund invests primarily in common stocks or securities convertible into
common stocks. The fund, in seeking to achieve a reasonable current return
to shareholders, may from time to time invest a portion of its assets in
various types of debt securities. During temporary periods when, in FMR's
judgment, market conditions warrant, adjustments favoring more defensive
securities may be made. The fund may not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in any one issuer, may not own more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of a single issuer, and may not invest more than 25% of
its total assets in any one industry. The fund may borrow only for
temporary or emergency purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its
total assets. Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of the fund's
total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily operations.
Expenses paid out of the fund'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 affiliates who provide
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained on page .
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, which may be terminated
at any time without notice, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its
performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
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, and
multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above .52%, and it drops as
total assets under management increase.
For June 1994, the group fee rate was .32 %. The individual fund fee
rate is .09%. The total management fee rate for fiscal 1994 was .41 %

UNDERSTANDING THE
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee FMR
receives is designed to be
responsive to changes in
FMR's total assets under
management. Building this
variable into the fee
calculation assures
shareholders that they will
pay a lower rate as FMR's
assets under management
increase.
(checkmark)
FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. These
sub-advisers provide FMR with investment research and advice on issuers
based outside the United States. Under the sub-advisory agreements, FMR
pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively,
of the costs of providing these services.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's annual
operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
The fund contracts with FSC to perform many transaction and accounting
functions. These services include processing shareholder transactions,
valuing the fund's investments, and handling securities loans. In fiscal
1994, the fund paid FSC fees equal to .23 % of its average net
assets.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of trustees who are
not affiliated with Fidelity.
The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan. This plan recognizes
that FMR may use its resources, including management fees, to pay expenses
associated with the sale of fund shares. This may include payments to third
parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that provide shareholder support
services or engage in the sale of the fund's shares. It is important to
note, however, that the fund does not pay FMR any separate fees for this
service.
The fund's portfolio turnover rate for fiscal 1994 was 207 %. This
rate varies from year to year. High turnover rates increase transaction
costs and may increase taxable capital gains. FMR considers these effects
when evaluating the anticipated benefits of short-term investing.

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES

DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its net income and capital gains
to shareholders each year. Normally, dividends are distributed in March,
June, September, and December. Capital gains are distributed in August and
December.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on the
application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. The fund offers four
options:
5. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions 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.
6. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested, but you will be sent a check for each dividend
distribution.
7. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions.
8. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(Registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in another
identically registered Fidelity fund.
FOR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over 59 years old, you can receive distributions in cash.
When the fund deducts a distribution from its NAV, the reinvestment price
is the fund's NAV at the close of business that day. Cash distribution
checks will be mailed within seven days.
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
As a fund shareholder, you
are entitled to your share of
the fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The
fund passes its earnings
along to its investors as
DISTRIBUTIONS.
The fund earns dividends
from stocks and interest from
bond, money market, and
other investments. These are
passed along as DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund
realizes capital gains
whenever it sells securities
for a higher price than it paid
for them. These are passed
along as CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS.
(checkmark)
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
are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every January, Fidelity will send you
and the IRS a statement showing the taxable distributions paid to you in
the previous year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or loss
is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive
when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of the fund, Fidelity will send you a confirmation
statement showing how many shares you sold and at what price. You will also
receive a consolidated transaction statement every January. However, it is
up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether this sale resulted in a
capital gain and, if so, the amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your
regular account statements; the information they contain will be essential
in calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares just before the fund deducts a
distribution from its NAV, you will pay full price for the shares and then
receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. The fund may pay withholding or other taxes to
foreign governments during the year. These taxes reduce the fund's
distributions, but are included in the taxable income reported on your tax
statement. You may be able to claim an offsetting tax credit or itemized
deduction for foreign taxes paid by the fund. Your tax statement will
generally show the amount of foreign tax for which a credit or deduction
may be available.
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 each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time.
THE 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 then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding.
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations.
If quotations are not readily available, assets are valued by a method that
the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. Foreign
securities are valued on the basis of quotations from the primary market in
which they are traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S.
dollars using current exchange rates.
THE FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE 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. Note that Fidelity will
not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions
if it follows 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
your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do
not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. The 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 the fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Note the following:
(bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks
must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each check must
have a value of at least $50.
(bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number of checks
processed at one time.
(bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be cancelled and
you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or its transfer agent
has incurred.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money order,
U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit instead.
YOU MAY BUY OR SELL SHARES OF THE FUND THROUGH A BROKER, who may charge you
a fee for this service. If you invest through a broker or other
institution, read its program materials for any additional service features
or fees that may apply.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements with
FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone,
with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on
the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the
financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your request is received and accepted. Note the
following:
(bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to you on the next
business day, but if making immediate payment could adversely affect the
fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be credited to
your bank account on the second or third business day after your phone
call.
(bullet) The fund may hold payment on redemptions until it is reasonably
satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity Money Line have been
collected, which can take up to seven business days.
(bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the
NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE
is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
TO SELL CERTIFICATE SHARES, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. The fund
no longer issues certificate shares.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your
account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to qualified
recipients who support the sale of shares of the fund without reimbursement
from the fund. Qualified recipients are securities dealers who have sold
fund shares or others, including banks and other financial institutions,
under special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales activities. In
some instances, these incentives may be offered only to certain
institutions whose representatives provide services in connection with the
sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund
for shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the following:
(bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered for sale in
your state.
(bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are registered in the
same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you pay the
percentage-point difference between that fund's sales charge and any sales
charge you have previously paid in connection with the shares you are
exchanging. For example, if you had already paid a sales charge of 2% on
your shares and you exchange them into a fund with a 3% sales charge, you
would pay an additional 1% sales charge.
(bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance and
shareholders, the fund reserves the right to temporarily or permanently
terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four
exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common
ownership or control, including accounts with the same taxpayer
identification number, will be counted together for purposes of the four
exchange limit.
(bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts in certain
institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and
Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials for further
information.
(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.
(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 coincide with a
"market timing" strategy may be disruptive to the fund.
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.
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 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 will 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 cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the fund.
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 of the
U.S. government and its instrumentalities) if, as a result thereof: (a)
more than 5% of the fund's total assets (taken at market value) would be
invested in the securities of such issuer; or (b) more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer would be held in the fund's
portfolio;
(2) issue senior securities;
(3) engage in short sales of securities (unless it owns, or by virtue of
its ownership of other securities, has the right to obtain securities
equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold); provided, however,
that the fund may purchase or sell futures contracts;
(4) buy any securities or other property on margin; provided, however, that
the fund may make initial and variation margin payments in connection with
purchases or sales of futures contracts or of options on futures contracts;
(5) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not
exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less
liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed 33
1/3% of the value of the fund's total assets by reason of a decline in net
assets will be reduced within three days (exclusive of Sunday and holidays)
to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(6) underwrite securities issued by others;
(7) purchase securities of any issuer (other than obligations of the U.S.
government and its instrumentalities) if, as a result thereof, the fund
would have more than 25% of the value of its total assets invested in
securities of companies in any one industry;
(8) buy or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of
securities;
(9) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent
the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from
investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical
commodities);
(10) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of the fund's total assets would be lent to other parties, except, (i)
through the purchase of a portion of an issue of debt securities in
accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations, or
(ii) by engaging in repurchase agreements with respect to portfolio
securities;
(11) purchase securities of other investment companies except in the open
market where no commission other than the ordinary broker's commission is
paid, or as a part of a merger, and in no event may investments in such
securities exceed 10% of the value of the total assets of the fund. The
fund may not purchase or retain securities issued by another open-end
investment company;
(12) purchase the securities of an issuer, if, as a result thereof, more
than 5% of the market value of the fund's total assets would be invested in
companies which, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years' continuous operation; or
(13) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL:
(i) 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 (5)). 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.
(ii) 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.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to invest in interests of
real estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable, or to invest
in interests of real estate limited partnerships that are not listed
on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or traded on
the NASDAQ National Market System.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by: (a) lending money (up to 5% 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.)
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase warrants, valued at the
lower of cost or market, in excess of 5% of the fund's net assets. Included
in that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the fund's net assets, may be
warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American
Stock Exchange. Warrants acquired by the fund in units or attached to
securities are not subject to these restrictions.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(vii) 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 limitations on futures and options transactions, see the
section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
beginning on page . For the fund's limitations on short sales, see the
section entitled "Short Sales" on page .
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 Investment Company Act of 1940. 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, the Board of Trustees has established and
periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving
affiliated financial institutions.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. The fund, however, may
exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views on
important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, and
shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters could have
a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company.
The activities that the fund may engage in, either individually or in
conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing
proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities;
seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in
a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of
the company or a portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing third
party takeover efforts. This area of corporate activity is increasingly
prone to litigation and it is possible that the fund could be involved in
lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with
a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation
against the fund and the risk of actual liability if the fund is involved
in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against
the fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.
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, over-the-counter options, and non-government
stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities. Also, FMR may determine
some restricted securities, government-stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed
securities, loans and other direct debt instruments, emerging market
securities, and swap agreements to be illiquid. However, with respect to
over-the-counter options the fund writes, all or a portion of the value of
the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the assets held to
cover the option and the nature and terms of any agreement the fund may
have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are priced 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 were invested in illiquid securities, it would seek to take
appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
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, the 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 the fund may be permitted
to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during
such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the fund might
obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek
registration of the security.
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Direct debt instruments are
interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower
to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to
suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to
other parties. Direct debt instruments are subject to the fund's policies
regarding the quality of debt securities.
Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily
upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of principal and
interest. Direct debt instruments may not be rated by any nationally
recognized rating service. If the fund does not receive scheduled interest
or principal payments on such indebtedness, the fund's share price and
yield could be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured offer the
fund more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of non-payment of
scheduled interest or principal. However, there is no assurance that the
liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's
obligation, or that the collateral c ould be liquidated. Indebtedness
of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater
risks, and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or
restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small
fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries
also involve s a risk that the governmental entities responsible for
the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and
repay principal when due.
Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's
interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks to the fund.
For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the fund could become part owner of
any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with
owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that
under emerging legal theories of lender liability, the fund could be held
liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of
insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary. Direct debt
instruments that are not in the form of securities may offer less legal
protection to the fund in the event of fraud or misrepresentation. In the
absence of definitive regulatory guidance, the fund relies on FMR's
research in an attempt to avoid situations where fraud or misrepresentation
could adversely affect the fund.
A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that
acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan,
as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or
other indebtedness, the fund has direct recourse against the borrower, it
may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against
a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of the fund were
determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors,
the fund might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the
loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or
interest.
Direct indebtedness purchased by the fund may include letters of credit,
revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments
obligating the fund to pay additional cash on demand. These commitments may
have the effect of requiring the fund to increase its investment in a
borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the
borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.
The fund will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account to cover its potential obligations under standby financing
commitments.
The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one
issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see limitations 1 and 7).
For purposes of these limitations, the fund generally will treat the
borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of
loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as
financial intermediary between the fund and the borrower, if the
participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor
relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require the fund, in
appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending
institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a
financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict the fund's
ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial
intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry,
even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and
industries.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. While the market for high-yield
corporate debt securities has been in existence for many years and has
weathered previous economic downturns, the 1980s brought a dramatic
increase in the use of such securities to fund highly leveraged corporate
acquisitions and restructurings. Past experience may not provide an
accurate indication of the future performance of the high-yield bond
market, especially during periods of economic recession. In fact, from 1989
to 1991, the percentage of lower-quality securities that defaulted rose
significantly above prior levels, although the default rate decreased in
1992 and 1993.
The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely
affect the prices at which the former are sold. If market quotations are
not available, lower-quality debt securities will be valued in accordance
with procedures established by the Board of Trustees, including the use of
outside pricing services. Judgment plays a greater role in valuing
high-yield corporate debt securities than is the case for securities for
which more external sources for quotations and last-sale information are
available. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect
the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt
securities and the fund's ability to dispose of these securities.
Since the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities,
FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of
managing securities of this type held by the fund. In considering
investments for the fund, FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of
high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet
future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future.
FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest
or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the
experience and managerial strength of the issuer.
The fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder
to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this
to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller
at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date within a number of days from
the date of purchase. 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. A repurchase agreement involves the
obligation of the seller to pay the agreed-upon price, which obligation is
in effect secured by the value (at least equal to the amount of the
agreed-upon resale price and marked to market daily) of the underlying
security. The fund may engage in a repurchase agreement with respect to any
security in which it is authorized to invest. While it does not presently
appear possible to eliminate all risks from these transactions
(particularly the possibility of a decline in the market value of the
underlying securities, as well as delays and costs to the fund in
connection with bankruptcy proceedings), it is the fund's current policy to
limit repurchase agreement transactions to those parties whose
creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
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.
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.
SECURITIES LENDING. The fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and
a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities lending allows the fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Since there may be
delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of rights in
collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good standing. Furthermore,
they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment, the consideration to be
earned from such loans would justify the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that the fund
may engage in loan transactions only under the following conditions: (1)
the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of cash or cash
equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the borrower; (2) the
borrower must increase the collateral whenever the market value of the
securities loaned (determined on a daily basis) rises above the value of
the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the fund must be able to terminate
the loan at any time; (4) the fund must receive reasonable interest on the
loan or a flat fee from the borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any
dividends, interest, or other distributions on the securities loaned and to
any increase in market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable
custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees
must be able to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by
terminating the loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with
the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in any security in
which the fund is authorized to invest. Investing this cash subjects that
investment, as well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. The fund has received permission from the SEC
to lend money to and borrow money from other funds advised by FMR or its
affiliates. Interfund loans and borrowings normally will extend overnight,
but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one
day's notice. The fund will lend through the program only when the returns
are higher than those available at the same time 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. Loans may be called on one day's notice, and the 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.
SWAP AGREEMENTS. Swap agreements can be individually negotiated and
structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of
investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap
agreements may increase or decrease the fund's exposure to long- or
short-term interest rates (in the U.S. or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as
security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different
forms and are known by a variety of names. The fund is not limited to any
particular form of swap agreement if FMR determines it is consistent with
the fund's investment objective and policies.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only
under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by
the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the
right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is
obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements
of buying a cap and selling a floor.
Swap agreements will tend to shift the fund's investment exposure from one
type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange
payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement
would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and
increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and
floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on
how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall
volatility of the fund's investments and its share price and yield.
The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the
change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that
determine the amounts of payments due to and from the fund. If a swap
agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make
such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness
declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline,
potentially resulting in losses. The fund expects to be able to eliminate
its exposure under swap agreements either by assignment or other
disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same
party or a similarly creditworthy party.
The fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account to cover its current obligations under swap agreements. If the fund
enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it will segregate assets with
a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of the fund's accrued
obligations under the swap agreement over the accrued amount the fund is
entitled to receive under the agreement. If the fund enters into a swap
agreement on other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a value
equal to the full amount of the fund's accrued obligations under the
agreement.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase securities whose prices are
indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies,
precious metals or other commodities, or other financial indicators.
Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or
deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference
to a specific instrument or statistic. Gold-indexed securities, for
example, typically provide for a maturity value that depends on the price
of gold, resulting in a security whose price tends to rise and fall
together with gold prices. Currency-indexed securities typically are
short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or
interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more
specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S.
dollar-denominated securities of equivalent issuers. Currency-indexed
securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity
value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting
in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument,
or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase,
resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on
the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices
that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies
relative to each other.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they
are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the
U.S. and abroad. At the same time, indexed securities are subject to the
credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values
may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.
Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and
certain U.S. government agencies. Indexed securities may be more volatile
than the underlying instruments.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. Foreign investments can involve significant risks in
addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments. The value of securities
denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, and of dividends and
interest from such securities, can change significantly when foreign
currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign
securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity
than U.S. markets, and prices on some foreign markets can be highly
volatile. Many foreign countries lack uniform accounting and disclosure
standards comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies, and it may be
more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding an issuer's
financial condition and operations. In addition, the costs of foreign
investing, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and
custodial costs, are generally higher than for U.S. investments.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets.
Foreign issuers, brokers, and securities markets may be subject to less
government supervision. Foreign security trading practices, including those
involving the release of assets in advance of payment, may involve
increased risks in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a
broker-dealer, and may involve substantial delays. It may also be difficult
to enforce legal rights in foreign countries.
Investing abroad also involves different political and economic risks.
Foreign investments may be affected by actions of foreign governments
adverse to the interests of U.S. investors, including the possibility of
expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation,
restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or
convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. There
may be a greater possibility of default by foreign governments or foreign
government-sponsored enterprises. Investments in foreign countries also
involve a risk of local political, economic, or social instability,
military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments. There is no
assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or
counter their effects.
The considerations noted above generally are intensified for investments in
developing countries. Developing countries may have relatively unstable
governments, economies based on only a few industries, and securities
markets that trade a small number of securities.
The fund may invest in foreign securities that impose restrictions on
transfer within the U.S. or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid
than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such
restrictions.
American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts (ADRs and
EDRs) are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign-based
issuer held in trust by a bank or similar financial institution. Designed
for use in U.S. and European securities markets, respectively, ADRs and
EDRs are alternatives to the purchase of the underlying securities in their
national markets and currencies.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis or by entering into forward
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date and
price. The fund will convert currency on a spot basis from time to time,
and investors should be aware of the costs of currency conversion. Although
foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for conversion, they
do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which
they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to
sell a foreign currency to the fund at one rate, while offering a lesser
rate of exchange should the fund desire to resell that currency to the
dealer. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market
conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial
banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to
offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the
contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.
The fund may use currency forward contracts for any purpose consistent
with its investment objective. The following discussion summarizes the
principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that
could be used by the fund. The fund may also use swap agreements, indexed
securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign
currencies for the same purposes.
When the fund agrees to buy or sell a security denominated in a foreign
currency, it may desire to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security.
By entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale, for a fixed
amount of U.S. dollars, of the amount of foreign currency involved in the
underlying security transaction, the fund will be able to protect itself
against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date the
security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or
received. This technique is sometimes referred to as a "settlement hedge"
or "transaction hedge." The fund may also enter into forward contracts to
purchase or sell a foreign currency in anticipation of future purchases or
sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific
investments have not yet been selected by FMR.
The fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For
example, if the fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it
could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for
U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such
a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset
both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset
changes in security values caused by other factors. The fund could also
hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform
similarly to the pound sterling - for example, by entering into a forward
contract to sell Deutschemarks or European Currency Units in return for
U.S. dollars. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge,"
could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but
generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a simple
hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency
used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the
hedged securities are denominated.
The fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment
exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure
from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to
another foreign currency. For example, if the fund held investments
denominated in Deutschemarks, the fund could enter into forward contracts
to sell Deutschemarks and purchase Swiss Francs. This type of strategy,
sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate
exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the
currency that is purchased, much as if the fund had sold a security
denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security
denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from
a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause the fund to assume the
risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set
aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover
currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, the fund will
segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if any, whose purpose
is essentially speculative. The fund will not segregate assets to cover
forward contracts entered into for hedging purposes, including settlement
hedges, position hedges, and proxy hedges.
Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's
skill in analyzing and predicting currency values. Currency management
strategies may substantially change the fund's investment exposure to
changes in currency exchange rates, and could result in losses to the fund
if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a
currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged the fund by selling
that currency in exchange for dollars, the fund would be unable to
participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure
through proxy hedges, the fund could realize currency losses from the hedge
and the security position at the same time if the two currencies do not
move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases the fund's exposure to a
foreign currency, and that currency's value declines, the fund will realize
a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management
strategies will be advantageous to the fund or that it will hedge at an
appropriate time.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund has filed a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the
futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the
Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can
commit assets to initial margin deposits and option premiums.
In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put
options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's
total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal
conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a
result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of
purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its
total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current
value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would
exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to
options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts and
options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options
discussed elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information, are not
fundamental policies and may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. When the fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees to
purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. When
the fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when the fund enters into the contract. Some
currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities,
such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of
securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index (S&P 500). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be
closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem
with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures
contracts will tend to increase the fund's exposure to positive and
negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had
purchased the underlying instrument directly. When the fund sells a futures
contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move
in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts,
therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price
changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is
not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the
contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and
seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker,
known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered
into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the
contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to
settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may
be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and
variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin
for purposes of the fund's investment limitations. In the event of the
bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of the fund, the fund may
be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount
received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to
the fund.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the fund
obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying
instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the fund pays
the current market price for the option (known as the option premium).
Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific
securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price. The fund may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market
exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security
prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price
does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put
buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium
paid, plus related transaction costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to
purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's
strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential
price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost
of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can
expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to
offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. When the fund writes a put option, it takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return
for receipt of the premium, the fund assumes the obligation to pay the
strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to
the option chooses to exercise it. When writing an option on a futures
contract, the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts. The fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes before exercise by closing out the
option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary
market is not liquid for a put option the fund has written, however, the
fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit,
although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it
received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that
the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the
option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would
expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from
purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium
received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the fund to sell or deliver the option's
underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the
option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of
writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable
strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option
premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the
same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying
instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is
greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security
price increases.
COMBINED POSITIONS. The fund may purchase and write options in combination
with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to
adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For
example, the fund may purchase a put option and write a call option on the
same underlying instrument, in order to construct a combined position whose
risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract.
Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at
one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, in order to
reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial
price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades,
they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open
and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of types
of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the
standardized contracts available will not match the fund's current or
anticipated investments exactly. The fund may invest in options and futures
contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other
characteristics from the securities in which it typically invests, which
involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the
performance of the fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match the fund's
investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors
as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility
of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of
the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect
correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options
and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences
in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of
daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. The fund may purchase or
sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to
compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the
securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price
changes in the fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated
with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated
gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other
investments.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a liquid
secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract
at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and
liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying
instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily
price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt
trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit
in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit
is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible for the fund
to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the
secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation
limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable
positions, and potentially could require the fund to continue to hold a
position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value.
As a result, the fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or
futures positions could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with
respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and
strike price, the terms of over-the-counter options (options not traded on
exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other
party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the
fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options
generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which
are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are
traded.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that
they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are
standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures
contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying
instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally
is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures
contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase
the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the
right to sell the underlying currency.
The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options
and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. The fund
may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency
options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign
currencies. The fund may also purchase and write currency options in
conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts.
Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with
exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of
the fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a
Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect
the fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the
issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of the fund's
foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other
than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency
options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over
time.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. The fund will comply with
guidelines established by the SEC with respect to coverage of options and
futures strategies by mutual funds, and if the guidelines so require will
set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account in
the amount prescribed. Securities held in a segregated account cannot be
sold while the futures or option strategy is outstanding, unless they are
replaced with other suitable assets. As a result, there is a possibility
that segregation of a large percentage of the fund's assets could impede
portfolio management or the fund's ability to meet redemption requests or
other current obligations.
1SHORT SALES. The fund may enter into short sales with respect to stocks
underlying its convertible security holdings. For example, if FMR
anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a convertible
security the fund holds, it may sell the stock short. If the stock price
subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to
offset all or a portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value
of the convertible security. The fund currently intends to hedge no more
than 15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities
underlying its convertible security holdings under normal circumstances.
When the fund enters into a short sale, it will be required to set aside
securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short (or securities
convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to
hold them aside while the short sale is outstanding. The fund will incur
transaction costs, including interest expense, in connection with opening,
maintaining, and closing short sales.
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 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. 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; the
reasonableness of any commissions; and arrangements for payment of fund
expenses. Commissions for foreign investments traded on foreign exchanges
generally will be higher than for U.S. investments and may not be subject
to negotiation.
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; the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing analyses
and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and effecting
securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such
as clearance and settlement). The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) in accordance with a ranking of broker-dealers determined
periodically by FMR's investment staff 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, Ltd. (FBSL), subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if
the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged
by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers who have entered
into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a
portion of the commissions paid by the fund toward payment of the fund's
expenses, such as transfer agent fees or custodian fees. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.
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.
The Trustees 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 year ended June 30, 1994 and fiscal period ended
June 30, 1993, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 207 %
and 261 % (annualized) , respectively.
For fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992, the fund paid brokerage commissions of
$ 5,983,613 , $ 5,779,882 , and $ 6,014,289 , respectively.
During fiscal 1994, $ 3,886,100 or approximately 65 % of these
commissions were paid to brokerage firms that provided research services,
although the provision of such services was not necessarily a factor in the
placement of all of this business with such firms. The fund pays both
commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions; FBSI is paid on a commission basis. During fiscal 1994, 1993,
and 1992, the fund paid brokerage commissions of $ 1,659,282 ,
$ 2,252,963 , and $ 2,359,796 , respectively, to FBSI. During
fiscal 1994, this amounted to approximately 28 % of the aggregate
brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions involving
approximately 42 % of the aggregate dollar amount of transactions in
which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The difference between the
percentage of brokerage commissions paid to and the percentage of the
dollar amount of transactions effected through FBSI is a result of the low
commission rates charged by FBSI.
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 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 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 a 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 OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary
market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which
the primary market is the U.S. are valued at last sale price or, if no sale
has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which
the primary market is outside the U.S. are valued using the official
closing price or the last sale price in the principal market where they are
traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the
last evaluated quote or last bid price is normally used. Short-term
securities are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Convertible
securities and fixed-income securities are valued primarily by a
pricing service that uses a vendor security valuation matrix which
incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing
techniques. This twofold approach is believed to more accurately reflect
fair value because it takes into account appropriate factors such as
institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality,
coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other
market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted, exchange, or
over-the-counter prices. Use of pricing services has been approved by the
Board of Trustees.
Securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market
are valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.
The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of
the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method (e.g., closing
over-the-counter bid prices in the case of debt instruments traded on an
exchange) would more accurately reflect the fair market value of such
securities.
Generally, the valuation of foreign and domestic equity securities, as well
as corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, money market instruments,
and repurchase agreements, is substantially completed each day at the close
of the NYSE. The values of any such securities held by the fund are
determined as of such time for the purpose of computing the fund's net
asset value. Foreign security prices are furnished by independent brokers
or quotation services which express the value of securities in their local
currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE
using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the
value of foreign securities from their local currency into U.S. dollars.
Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate
fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of net
asset value. If an extraordinary event that is expected to materially
affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an
exchange on which that security is traded, then the security will be valued
as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of
Trustees.
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. The fund's share price, yield, and total return
fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value
of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the fund's
interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of
expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions
during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's net asset
value ( NAV ) at the end of the period, and annualizing
the result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual
percentage rate. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in
accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond
funds. Dividends from equity investments are treated as if they were
accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield calculations. In
general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a
premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the premium from
income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to bonds trading at
a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily income. For the
fund's investments denominated in foreign currencies, income and expenses
are calculated first in their respective currencies, and are then converted
to U.S. dollars, either when they are actually converted or at the end of
the 30-day or one month period, whichever is earlier. Capital gains and
losses generally are excluded from the calculation as are gains and losses
from currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield
differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of
the different accounting methods used, and because of the compounding of
income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield may not equal its
distribution rate, the income paid to your account, or the income reported
in the fund's financial statements.
In calculating the fund's yield, the fund may from time to time use a
portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in order
to reflect the risk premium on that security. This practice will have the
effect of reducing the fund's yield.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and
in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, the 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 the
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 the 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.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of the 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
the 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 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 returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives,
investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant over
time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual returns
represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year
performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the 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.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund
and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the
fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
MOVING AVERAGES. The fund may illustrate performance using moving averages.
A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing
NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of
each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average
Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business
day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce
indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below
its moving average. On June 24, 1994, the 13-week and 39-week long-term
moving averages were $18.93 and $19.07 , respectively.

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the fund's
cumulative total return. The table compares the fund's return to the record
of the Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P
500(Registered trademark)), 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 the DJIA comparisons
are provided to show how the fund's total return compared to the record of
a broad average of common stock prices and a narrower set of stocks of
major industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund
has the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and
its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the
indices. 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 and other costs of investing.
During the ten-year period ended June 30, 1994, a hypothetical $10,000
investment in Fidelity Fund would have grown to $ 38,394 , assuming
all distributions were reinvested. This was a period of fluctuating
interest rates, bond prices, and stock prices 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 the fund today.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 made on June 30,
1984, 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
$32,960. 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 $4,323 for dividends
and $9,057 for capital gains distributions. Tax consequences of
different investments have not been factored into the above figures.
The yield for the S&P 500 for the year ended June 30, 1994 was
2.89% , calculated by dividing the dollar value of dividends paid by
the S&P 500 stocks during the period by the average value of the S&P 500 on
June 30, 1994. The S&P yield is calculated differently from the fund's
yield. For example, the fund's yield calculation treats dividends as
accrued in anticipation of payment, rather than recording them when paid.
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 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 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.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include: other Fidelity funds; retirement
investing; brokerage products and services; the effects of periodic
investment plans and dollar cost averaging; 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, including model portfolios or allocations, 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.
VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark
correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare
the fund's historical share price fluctuations or total returns to those of
a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a
comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation
are calculated using averages of historical data. In advertising, the
fund may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest rate
sensitivity.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's
percentage change in price movements over that period.
The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program,
an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at periodic intervals,
thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when
prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit or guard
against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost per share
can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the same
intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their
ability to continue purchasing shares during periods of low price levels.
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 June 30, 1994, FMR advised over $25 billion in tax-free fund
assets, $70 billion in money market fund assets, $150 billion in equity
fund assets, $35 billion in international fund assets, and $20 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.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV) is
calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.
The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1994:
Washington's Birthday (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day (observed). Although
FMR expects the same holiday schedule, with the addition of New Year's Day,
to be observed in the future, the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at
any time.
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculated earlier
if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the SEC. To the
extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days when
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. In
addition, trading in some of the fund's portfolio securities may not occur
on days when the fund is open for business.
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 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 Investment Company Act of 1940 (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
an 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.
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. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the
extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying dividends. Because
the fund may earn other types of income, such as interest, income from
securities loans, non-qualifying dividends, and short-term capital gains,
the percentage of the dividends from the fund that qualif ies for the
deduction generally will be less than 100%. The fund will notify corporate
shareholders annually of the percentage of fund dividends that 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. Gains (losses) attributable to foreign currency fluctuations are
generally taxable as ordinary income , and therefore will increase
(decrease) dividend distributions. Short-term capital gains are
distributed as dividend income. The fund will send each shareholder a
notice in January describing the tax status of dividends and capital gains
distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund on
the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are federally
taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time the
shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives a long-term
capital gain distribution on shares of the fund and such shares are held
for six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss
equal to the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes.
Short-term capital gains distributed by the fund are taxable to
shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains. The fund hereby
designates approximately $14,102,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend-paid deduction.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities typically at a rate
between 10% and 35%. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other
payments or gains with respect to foreign securities . Because the fund
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 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 excises 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 also intends to
comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies,
including a requirement that capital gains from the sale of securities held
less than three months constitute less than 30% of the fund's gross income
for each fiscal year. Gains from some forward currency contracts, futures
contracts, and options are included in this 30% calculation, which may
limit the fund's investments in such instruments.
If the fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities,
defined as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in the Internal
Revenue Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of
any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of such shares.
Interest charges may also be imposed on the fund with respect to deferred
taxes arising from such distributions or gains. Generally, the fund will
elect to mark-to-market any PFIC shares. Unrealized gains will be
recognized as income for tax purposes and must be distributed to
shareholders as dividends.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other fund of Fidelity
Hastings Street Trust 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.

As of June 30, 1994, the Trustees and officers owned, in the aggregate,
less than 1% of the total outstanding shares of the fund .
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
All of the stock of FMR is owned by a parent company, FMR Corp. Through
ownership of voting common stock and the execution of a shareholder's
voting agreement, Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various
trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family form a controlling group with
respect to FMR Corp.
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, and
compensates all officers of the trust, all Trustees who are "interested
persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the trust 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
law; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and
furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to
the Board of Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
FSC, the fund pays all of its expenses, without limitation, that are not
assumed by those parties. The fund pays for typesetting, printing, and
mailing proxy material to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the
custodian, auditor, and noninterested Trustees. Although the fund's
management contract provides that the fund will pay for typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information,
notices, and reports to existing shareholders, the trust has entered into a
revised transfer agent agreement with FSC, pursuant to which FSC bears the
cost of providing these services to existing shareholders. 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 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 the trust's officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is the fund's manager pursuant to a management contract dated March 1,
1990, which was approved by shareholders on December 13, 1989. For the
services of FMR under the contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management
fee composed of the sum of two elements: a group fee rate and an individual
fund fee rate.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the
registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts and
is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate
schedule shown below on the left. On the right, the effective fee rate
schedule shows the results of cummutively applying the annualized rates at
varying asset levels. For example, the effective annual fee rate at
$ 256 billion of group net assets - their approximate level for June
30, 1994 - was . 3217 %, which is the weighted average of the
respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $256 billion.

* The rates shown for average group assets in excess of $174 billion were
adopted by FMR on a voluntary basis on November 1, 1993 and August 1,
1994 pending shareholder approval of a new management contract
reflecting the extended schedule. The extended schedule provides for lower
management fees as total assets under management increase.
The individual fund fee rate is .09%. Based on the average net assets of
funds advised by FMR for June 30, 1994, the annual management fee rate
would be calculated as follows:
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Management Fee Rate

.3217 % + .09% = .4117 %

One twelfth (1/12) of this annual management fee rate is then applied to
the fund's average net assets for the current month, giving a dollar amount
which is the fee for that month.
The schedule shown above (minus the breakpoints added November 1, 1993
and August 1, 1994 ) was voluntarily adopted by FMR on January 1, 1992
until shareholders could meet to approve the amended management contract.
Prior to January 1, 1992, the fund's group fee rate was based on a schedule
with breakpoints ending at .310% for average group assets in excess of $102
billion. FMR had voluntarily adopted the shorter schedule on August 1,
1988.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, fiscal period ended June 30,
1993, and fiscal year ended December 31, 1992, FMR received
$ 6,399,929 , $2,941,726, and $5,668,181, respectively, for its
services as investment adviser to the fund. These fees were equivalent to
.41 %, .43 % (annualized) , and .42%, respectively, of
the average net assets of the fund for each of those years.
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 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 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-ADVISERS. FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K.
and FMR Far East. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive
investment advice and research services outside the United States from the
sub-advisers.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in countries
other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific
Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East are wholly owned subsidiaries of FMR. Under the
sub-advisory agreements FMR pays the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. For
providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services, FMR
pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively,
of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with
providing investment advice and research services.
For providing investment advice and research services, the fees paid to the
sub-advisers for fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992 were as follows:
Fiscal year FMR U.K. FMR Far East

1994 $ 44,739 $ 67,730

1993** $10,352 $15,697

1992* $11,338 $9,105

* For the fiscal period ended June 30, 1993
** For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1992
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
The fund has adopted a d istribution and s ervice p lan
(the p lan) under Rule 12b-l of the Investment Company Act of 1940
(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 adopted by the fund under the Rule. The fund's Board of Trustees has
adopted the p lan to allow the fund and FMR to incur certain expenses
that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the fund of
distribution expenses. Under the p lan, if the payment of management
fees by the fund is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of
the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the
p lan.
The p lan also specifically recognizes that FMR, either
directly or through FDC, may use its management fee revenues, past
profits , or other resources, without limitation, to pay promotional
and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares
of the fund. In addition, the p lan provides that FMR may use its
resources, including its management fee revenues, to make payments to third
parties that provide assistance in selling shares of the fund , or to
third parties, including banks, that render shareholder support services.
P ayments made by FMR to third parties during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1994 amounted to $13,368.
The fund's p lan has been approved by the Trustees. As required by
the Rule, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating
to the implementation of the p lan prior to its approval, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the p lan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted
that the p lan does not authorize payments by the fund other than
those made to FMR under i t s management contract with the
fund. To the extent that the p lan gives FMR and FDC greater
flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares of the fund,
additional sales of the fund's shares may result. Additionally, certain
shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the
p lan by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships. The p lan was approved by shareholders on July
23, 1986.
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 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.
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. In addition, state securities laws
on this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed
herein, and banks and financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.
CONTRACTS WITH COMPANIES AFFILIATED WITH FMR
FSC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholders' servicing agent for
the fund. Under the trust's contract with FSC, the fund pays an annual fee
of $26.03 per basic retail account with a balance of $5,000 or more, $15.31
per basic retail account with a balance of less than $5,000, and a
supplemental activity charge of $2.25 for standing order transactions and
$6.11 for other monetary transactions. These fees and charges are subject
to annual cost escalation based on postal rate changes and changes in wage
and price levels as measured by the National Consumer Price Index for Urban
Areas. With respect to certain institutional client master accounts, the
fund pays FSC a per-account fee of $95, and monetary transaction charges of
$20 or $17.50, depending on the nature of services provided. With respect
to certain broker-dealer master accounts, the fund pays FSC a per-account
fee of $30, and a charge of $6 for monetary transactions. Fees for certain
institutional retirement plan accounts are based on the net assets of all
such accounts in the fund.
Under the contract, FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with
providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC 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 FSC for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, fiscal period ended June 30, 1993, and
fiscal year ended December 31, 1992 amounted to $ 2,508,791 ,
$1,244,999, and $2,460,005, respectively. If a portion of the fund's
brokerage commissions had not resulted in payment of certain of these fees,
the fund would have paid transfer agent fees of $ 2,897,147 for fiscal
1994.
The trust's contract with FSC also provides that FSC will perform the
calculations necessary to determine the fund's net asset value per share
and dividends, and maintain the fund's accounting records. Prior to July 1,
1991, the annual fee for these pricing and bookkeeping services was based
on two schedules, one pertaining to the fund's average net assets, and one
pertaining to the type and number of transactions the fund made. The fee
rates in effect as of July 1, 1991 are based on the fund's average net
assets, specifically, .06% for the first $500 million of average net assets
and .03% for average net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee is
limited to a minimum of $45,000 and a maximum of $750,000 per year. Pricing
and bookkeeping fees, including related out-of-pocket expenses, paid to FSC
for fiscal 1994, 1993, and 1992, were $ 632,986 , $290,230, and
$561,226, respectively.
FSC also receives fees for administering the fund's securities lending
program. Securities lending fees are based on the number and duration of
individual securities loans. Securities lending fees for fiscal1992 were
$10,190. There were no security lending fees for fiscal 1993 and 1994.
From April 23, 1990 to November 25, 1991, Fidelity Management Trust Company
(FMTC) served as custodian of the fund's assets. FMTC, an affiliate of FMR,
was organized as a Massachusetts trust company in 1981. FMTC took no part
in determining the investment policies of the fund or in deciding which
securities would be purchased or sold by the fund. Effective November 25,
1991, The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. was appointed custodian of the fund's
assets. Custodian fees paid to FMTC for the fiscal periods April 23, 1990
through December 31, 1990, and January 1, 1991 through November 24, 1991
were $100,827 and $156,631, 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 the 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 FMR.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Fund is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street
Trust, an open-end management investment company, originally organized as a
Massachusetts business corporation on May 1, 1930 and reorganized as a
Massachusetts business trust on December 31, 1984. On December 31, 1984 its
name was changed from Fidelity Fund, Inc. to Fidelity Fund and on April 30,
1993, its name was changed from Fidelity Fund to Fidelity Hastings Street
Trust. Currently, there are two funds of the trust: Fidelity Fifty and
Fidelity Fund. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to create
additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the trust or 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 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 an entity of the type
commonly known as "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the trust. The Declaration of
Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that
each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees include a provision limiting the obligations created
thereby to the trust and its assets. The Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Declaration of Trust
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 the fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects
Trustee s 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 Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the trust
or a 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 another open-end management
investment company, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets, if
approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the trust or the fund. If not so terminated, the trust and its funds
will continue indefinitely.
CUSTODIAN. The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, New
York, New York 10081, 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. The fund may, however, invest
in obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities from or sell
securities to the custodian.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the trust's
Trustees, may from time to time have transactions with various banks,
including banks serving as custodians for certain of the 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. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. , One Post Office Square, Boston,
Massachusetts, serves as the trust's independent accountant. The auditor
examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax,
and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1994 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
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective
elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most
unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins
of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other
elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than
in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any
great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
CAA - Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default
or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.
CA - Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked
short-comings.
C - Bonds rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds and issued so rated
can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2, and 3, in each generic rating
classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and
the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its
generic rating category.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated
categories.
BB - Debt rate BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has
the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual
or implied BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default,
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is
not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C rating may
be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed but
debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when
interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due even
if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that
such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating will also
be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments
are jeopardized.
The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Item 25. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant
The Board of Trustees of Registrant is the same as the board of other
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 26. Number of Holders of Securities June 30, 1994
Title of Class: Shares of Beneficial Interest Number of Record Holders
Name of Series
Fidelity Fund 125,657
Fidelity Fifty 8,861
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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended June 30, 1994

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Fifty (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust (the
trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and
losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities
transactions, and the difference between the amont of net investment income
accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are
not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes
in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
INCOME TAXES. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all
of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule
of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the
caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures and options transactions and foreign currency transactions, losses
deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax
basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following
year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts.
These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in
the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amount
in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the fund has in that particular
currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency
contracts is determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a
quotation service. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the
foreign currency or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible for
determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least
equal to the resale price.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other registered
investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may transfer
uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT.
At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments
in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase
agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and
found satisfactory by FMR. The repurchase agreements were dated June 30,
1994 and due July 1, 1994. The maturity values of the joint trading account
investments were $11,338,351 at 4.29%. The investments in repurchase
agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:
SUMMARY OF JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT

Number of dealers or banks 23
Maximum amount with one dealer or bank 11.9%
Aggregate principal amount of agreements $13,660,719,000
Aggregate maturity amount of agreements $13,662,347,871
Aggregate market value of collateral $13,947,398,451
Coupon rates of collateral 3 7/8% - 14%
Maturity dates of collateral 7/15/94 - 8/15/23
4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $139,414,504 and $96,102,351, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$34,798,450 and $30,610,475, respectively.
5. FEES AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates ranging from
.30% to .52% and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%.
The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of +
or - .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. The fund's performance
adjustment will not take effect until September 1994. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .63% of average net
assets.
The Board of Trustees previously approved a group fee rate schedule with
rates ranging from .2850% to .5200%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR
voluntarily agreed to implement this group fee rate schedule as it resulted
in the same or a lower management fee.
In July 1994, the Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule
with rates ranging from .27% to .52%. Effective August 1, 1994, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a further reduction in the management fee.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation, an affiliate
of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales charges of
$602,138 on sales of shares of the fund.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the
number of transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $25,431 for the period.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$56 under this arrangement.

For the period ended June 30, 1994

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust (the
trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Effective July 1, 1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 93-4:
Foreign Currency Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation for
Investment Companies. In accordance with this SOP, reported net realized
gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and
losses from sales and maturities of forward currency contracts, disposition
of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade
and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between
the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount
actually received. Further, as permitted under the SOP, the effects of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are
not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes
in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where
recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
foreign currency transactions, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable
dividends, and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as
a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective July 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of June 30, 1993 have been reclassified to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $132,120,000 a decrease in undistributed
net investment income of $13,611,000 and a decrease in accumulated net
realized gain on investments of $118,509,000.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of
forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible for
determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least
equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other registered
investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may transfer
uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $3,078,626,000 and $2,949,361,000 respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $124,118,000 and
$239,747,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates ranging from
.31% to .52% and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund fee rate is .09%.
For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .41%
of average net assets.
The Board of Trustees previously approved a group fee rate schedule with
rates ranging from .2850% to .5200%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR
voluntarily implemented this group fee rate schedule as it resulted in the
same or lower management fee. In July 1994, the Board of Trustees approved
a new group fee rate schedule with rates ranging from .27% to .52%.
Effective August 1, 1994, FMR has voluntarily agreed to implement this new
group fee rate schedule as it results in the same or a further reduction in
the management fee.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR or
the fund's distributor, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR, may use their resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $13,000 for the
period.
4. FEES AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the
number of transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting
records and administers the security lending program. The security lending
fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The
accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month
plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,659,000 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund negotiated
lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income. The fund
receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral against the
loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value
of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral
must be maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. At period end, there were no
loans outstanding.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$388,000 under this arrangement.

examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of June 30, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Hastings Street Trust: Fidelity Fund as of June 30, 1994, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net
assets for the year then ended, the six month period ended June 30, 1993
and for the year ended December 31, 1992, and the financial highlights for
the year then ended, the six month period ended June 30, 1993 and for each
of the four years in the period ended December 31, 1992, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

ARTICLE II
PURPOSE OF TRUST
The Purpose of this Trust is to provide investors a continuous source of

ARTICLE III
BENEFICIAL INTEREST
SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
Section 1. The beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into such
transferable Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series as the
Trustees shall from time to time create and establish. The number of Shares
is unlimited and each Share shall be without par value and shall be fully
paid and nonassessable. The Trustees shall have full Power and authority,
in their sole discretion and without obtaining any prior authorization or
vote of the Shareholders of the Trust to create and establish (and to
change in any manner) Shares with such preferences, voting powers, rights
and privileges as the Trustees may from time to time determine, to divide
or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number, to classify or
reclassify any issued Shares into one or more Series of Shares, to abolish
any one or more Series of Shares, and to take such other action with
respect to the Shares as the Trustees may deem desirable.
ESTABLISHMENT OF SERIES
Section 2. The establishment of any Series shall be effective upon the
adoption of a resolution by a majority of the then Trustees setting forth
such establishment and designation and the relative rights and preferences
of the Shares of such Series. At any time that there are no Shares
outstanding of any particular Series previously established and designated,
the Trustees may by a majority vote abolish that Series and the
establishment and designation thereof.
OWNERSHIP OF SHARES
Section 3. The ownership of Shares shall be recorded in the books of the
Trust. The Trustees may make such rules as they consider appropriate for
the transfer of Shares and similar matters. The record books of the Trust
shall be conclusive as to who are the holders of Shares and as to the
number of Shares held from time to time by each Shareholder.
INVESTMENT IN THE TRUST
Section 4. The Trustees shall accept investments in the Trust from such
persons and on such terms as they may from time to time authorize. Such
investments may be in the form of cash or securities in which the
appropriate Series is authorized to invest, valued as provided in Article
X, Section 3. After the date of the initial contribution of capital, the
number of Shares to represent the initial contribution may in the Trustees'
discretion be considered as outstanding and the amount received by the
Trustees on account of the contribution shall be treated as an asset of the
Trust. Subsequent investments in the Trust shall be credited to each
Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares at the Net Asset Value per
Share next determined after the investment is received; provided, however,
that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, (a) impose a sales charge
upon investments in the Trust and (b) issue fractional Shares.
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF SERIES
Section 5. All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale
of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such
consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or
liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any
reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall be
referred to as "assets belonging to" that Series. In addition any assets,
income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which
are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be
allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more of the Series in
such manner as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable.
Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders
of all Series for all purposes, and shall be referred to as assets
belonging to that Series. The assets belonging to a particular Series shall
be so recorded upon the books of the Trust, and shall be held by the
Trustees in trust for the benefit of the holders of Shares of that Series.
The assets belonging to each particular Series shall be charged with the
liabilities of that Series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves
attributable to that Series. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs,
charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as
belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated and charged by the
Trustees between or among any one or more of the Series in such manner as
the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each such
allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all
Series for all purposes. Any creditor of any Series may look only to the
assets of that Series to satisfy such creditor's debt.
NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Section 6. Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to
subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust
or the Trustees.
LIMITATION OF PERSONAL LIABILITY
Section 7. The Trustees shall have no power to bind any Shareholder
personally or to call upon any shareholder for the payment of any sum of
money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at
any time personally agree to pay by way of subscription for any Shares or
otherwise. Every note, bond, contract or other undertaking issued by or on
behalf of the Trust or the Trustees relating to the Trust shall include a
recitation limiting the obligation represented thereby to the Trust and its
assets (but the omission of such a recitation shall not operate to bind any
Shareholder).
ARTICLE IV
THE TRUSTEES

Section 1. The business and affairs of the Trust shall be managed by the
Trustees, and they shall have all powers necessary and desirable to carry
out that responsibility.
ELECTION: INITIAL TRUSTEES
Section 2. On a date fixed by the Trustees, the Shareholders shall elect
not less than three Trustees. A Trustee shall not be required to be a
Shareholder of the Trust. The initial Trustees shall be Edward C. Johnson
3d, Caleb Loring, Jr. and Frank Nesvet and such other individuals as the
Board of Trustees shall appoint pursuant to Section 4 of the Article IV.
TERM OF OFFICE OF TRUSTEES
Section 3. The Trustees shall hold office during the lifetime of this
Trust, and until its termination as hereinafter provided; except (a) that
any Trustee may resign his trust by written instrument signed by him and
delivered to the other Trustees, which shall take effect upon such delivery
or upon such later date as is specified therein; (b) that any Trustee may
be removed at any time by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds
of the number of Trustees prior to such removal, specifying the date when
such removal shall become effective; (c) that any Trustee who requests in
writing to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury
may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other
Trustees, specifying the date of his retirement; and (d) a Trustee may be
removed at any Special Meeting of the Trust by a vote of two-thirds of the
outstanding Shares.
RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES
Section 4. In case of the declination, death, resignation, retirement,
removal, incapacity, or inability of any of the Trustees, or in case a
vacancy shall, by reason of an increase in number, or for any other reason,
exist, the remaining Trustees shall fill such vacancy by appointing such
other person as they in their discretion shall see fit consistent with the
limitations under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such appointment
shall be evidenced by a written instrument signed by a majority of the
Trustees in office or by recording in the records of the Trust, whereupon
the appointment shall take effect. Within three months of such appointment
the Trustees shall cause notice of such appointment to be mailed to each
Shareholder at his address as recorded on the books of the Trust. An
appointment of a Trustee may be made by the Trustees then in office and
notice thereof mailed to Shareholders as aforesaid in anticipation of a
vacancy to occur by reason of retirement, resignation or increase in number
of Trustees effective at a later date, provided that said appointment shall
become effective only at or after the effective date of said retirement,
resignation or increase in number of Trustees. As soon as any Trustee so
appointed shall have accepted this trust, the trust estate shall vest in
the new Trustee or Trustees, together with the continuing Trustees, without
any further act or conveyance, and he shall be deemed a Trustee hereunder.
The power of appointment is subject to the provisions of Section 16(a) of
the 1940 Act.
TEMPORARY ABSENCE OF TRUSTEE
Section 5. Any Trustee may, by power of attorney, delegate his power for a
period not exceeding six months at any one time to any other Trustee or
Trustees, provided that in no case shall less than two Trustees personally
exercise the other powers hereunder except as herein otherwise expressly
provided.
NUMBER OF TRUSTEES
Section 6. The number of Trustees, not less than three (3) nor more than
twelve (12), serving hereunder at any time shall be determined by the
Trustees themselves.
Whenever a vacancy in the Board of Trustees shall occur, until such
vacancy is filled, or while any Trustee is absent from the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts or, if not a domiciliary of Massachusetts, is absent from his
state of domicile, or is physically or mentally incapacitated by reason of
disease or otherwise, the other Trustees shall have all the powers
hereunder and the certificate of the other Trustees of such vacancy,
absence or incapacity, shall be conclusive, provided, however, that no
vacancy shall remain unfilled for a period longer than six calendar months.
EFFECT OF DEATH, RESIGNATION, ETC. OF A TRUSTEE
Section 7. The death, declination, resignation, retirement, removal,
incapacity, or inability of the Trustees, or any one of them, shall not
operate to annul the Trust or to revoke any existing agency created
pursuant to the terms of this Declaration of Trust.
OWNERSHIP OF ASSETS OF THE TRUST
Section 8. The assets of the Trust shall be held separate and apart from
any assets now or hereafter held in any capacity other than as Trustee
hereunder by the Trustees or any successor Trustees. All of the assets of
the Trust shall at all times be considered as vested in the Trustees. No
Shareholder shall be deemed to have a severable ownership in any individual
asset of the Trust or any right of partition or possession thereof, but
each Shareholder shall have a proportionate undivided beneficial interest
in the Trust.
ARTICLE V

Trust may either agree to sell the Shares to the other party to the
contract or appoint such other party its sales agent for such Shares. In
either case, the contract shall be on such terms and conditions as may be
prescribed in the Bylaws, if any, and such further terms and conditions as
the Trustees may in their discretion determine not inconsistent with the
provision of this Article VII, or of the Bylaws, if any; and such contract
may also provide for the repurchase or sale of Shares by such other party
as principal or as agent of the Trust.
TRANSFER AGENT
Section 3. The Trustees may in their discretion from time to time enter
into a transfer agency and Shareholder service contract whereby the other
party shall undertake to furnish the Trustees with transfer agency and

provisions of this Declaration of Trust or of the Bylaws, if any. Such
services may be provided by one or more entities.
PARTIES TO CONTRACT
Section 4. Any contract of the character described in Sections 1, 2 and 3
of this Article VII or in Article IX hereof may be entered into with any
corporation, firm, partnership, trust or association, although one or more
of the Trustees or officers of the Trust may be an officer, director,
trustee, shareholder, or member of such other party to the contract, and no
such contract shall be invalidated or rendered voidable by reason of the
existence of any relationship, nor shall any person holding such
relationship be liable merely by reason of such relationship for any loss
or expense to the Trust under or by reason of said contract or accountable
for any profit realized directly or indirectly therefrom, provided that the
contract when entered into was reasonable and fair and not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Article VII or the Bylaws, if any. The same
person (including a firm, corporation, partnership, trust, or association)
may be the other party to contracts entered into pursuant to Sections 1, 2
and 3 above or Article IX, and any individual may be financially interested

ARTICLE VIII
SHAREHOLDERS' VOTING POWERS AND MEETINGS
VOTING POWERS
Section 1. The Shareholders shall have power to vote (i) for the election
of Trustees as provided in Article IV, Section 2, (ii) for the removal of
Trustees as provided in Article IV, Section 3(d), (iii) with respect to any
investment advisory or management contract as provided in Article VII,
Section 1, (iv) with respect to the amendment of this Declaration of Trust
as provided in Article XII, Section 7, (v) to the same extent as the
shareholders of a Massachusetts business corporation, as to whether or not
a court action, proceeding or claim should be brought or maintained
derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust or the
Shareholders, provided, however, that a Shareholder of a particular Series
shall not be entitled to bring any derivative or class action on behalf of
any other Series of the Trust, and (vi) with respect to such additional
matters relating to the Trust as may be required or authorized by law, by
this Declaration of Trust, or the Bylaws of the Trust, if any, or any
registration of the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") or any State, as the Trustees may consider desirable. On any
matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, all shares shall be voted
by individual Series, except (i) when required by the 1940 Act, Shares
shall be voted in the aggregate and not by individual Series; and (ii) when
the Trustees have determined that the matter affects only the interests of
one or more Series, then only the Shareholders of such Series shall be
entitled to vote thereon. A shareholder of each Series shall be entitled to
one vote for each dollar of net asset value (number of Shares owned times
net asset value per Share) of such series, on any matter on which such
Shareholder is entitled to vote and each fractional dollar amount shall be
entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. There shall be no cumulative
voting in the election of Trustees. Shares may be voted in person or by
proxy. Until Shares are issued, the Trustees may exercise all rights of
Shareholders and may take any action required or permitted by law, this
Declaration of Trust or any Bylaws of the Trust to be taken by
Shareholders.
MEETINGS
Section 2. The first Shareholders' meeting shall be held as specified in
Section 2 of Article IV at the principal office of the Trust or such other
place as the Trustees may designate. Special meetings of the Shareholders
of any Series may be called by the Trustees and shall be called by the
Trustees upon the written request of Shareholders owning at least one-tenth
of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote. Whenever ten or more
Shareholders meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 16(c) of the
1940 Act, as the same may be amended from time to time, seek the
opportunity of furnishing materials to the other Shareholders with a view
to obtaining signatures on such a request for a meeting, the Trustees shall
comply with the provisions of said Section 16(c) with respect to providing
such Shareholders access to the list of the Shareholders of record of the
Trust or the mailing of such materials to such Shareholders of record.
Shareholders shall be entitled to at least fifteen days' notice of any
meeting.
QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE
Section 3. A majority of Shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy
shall be a quorum for the transaction of business at a Shareholders'
meeting, except that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of
Trust permits or requires that holders of any Series shall vote as a
Series, then a majority of the aggregate number of Shares of that Series
entitled to vote shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business by that Series. Any lesser number shall be
sufficient for adjournments. Any adjourned session or sessions may be held,
within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting,
without the necessity of further notice. Except when a larger vote is
required by any provision of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, a
majority of the Shares voted in person or by proxy shall decide any
questions and a plurality shall elect a Trustee, provided that where any
provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust permits or requires that
the holders of any Series shall vote as a Series, then a majority of the
Shares of that Series voted on the matter shall decide that matter insofar
as that Series is concerned.
ARTICLE IX
CUSTODIAN
APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES
Section 1. The Trustees shall at all times employ a bank or trust company
having capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least two million
dollars (2,000,000), or such other amount or such other entity as shall be

authority as its agent, but subject to such restrictions, limitations or
other requirements, if any , as may be contained in the Bylaws of the
Trust:
(1) to hold the securities owned by the Trust and deliver the same upon
written order or oral order, if confirmed in writing, or by such
electro-mechanical or electronic devices as are agreed to by the Trust and
the custodian, if such procedures have been authorized in writing by the
Trust;
(2) to receive and receipt for any moneys due to the Trust and deposit the
same in its own banking department or elsewhere as the Trustees may direct;

(1) to keep the books and accounts of the Trust and furnish clerical and
accounting services; and
(2) to compute, if authorized to do so by the Trustees, the Net Asset Value
of any Series in accordance with the provisions hereof;
all upon such basis of compensation as may be agreed upon between the
Trustees and the custodian. If so directed by a Majority Shareholder Vote,
the custodian shall deliver and pay over all property of the Trust held by
it as specified in such vote.
The Trustees may also authorize the custodian to employ one or more
sub-custodians from time to time to perform such of the acts and services
of the custodian, and upon such terms and conditions, as may be agreed upon
between the custodian and such sub-custodian and approved by the Trustees,
provided that in every case such sub-custodian shall be a bank or trust
company organized under the laws of the United States or one of the states
thereof and having capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least two
million dollars ($2,000,000) or such other person as may be permitted by
the Commission, or otherwise in accordance with the 1940 Act as from time
to time amended.
CENTRAL CERTIFICATE SYSTEM
Section 2. Subject to such rules, regulations and orders as the Commission
may adopt, the Trustees may direct the custodian to deposit all or any part
of the securities owned by the Trust in a system for the central handling
of securities established by a national securities exchange or a national
securities association registered with the Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or such other person as may be permitted by the
Commission, or otherwise in accordance with the 1940 Act as from time to
time amended, pursuant to which system all securities of any particular
class or. series of any issuer deposited within the system are treated as
fungible and may be transferred or pledged by bookkeeping entry without
physical delivery of such securities, provided that all such deposits shall
be subject to withdrawal only upon the order of the Trust.
ARTICLE X
DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 1.
(a) The Trustees may from time to time declare and pay dividends. The
amount of such dividends and the payment of them shall be wholly in the
discretion of the Trustees.
(b) The Trustees shall have power, to the fullest extent permitted by the
laws of Massachusetts, at any time to declare and cause to be paid
dividends on Shares of a particular Series, from the assets belonging to
that Series, which dividends, at the election of the Trustees, may be paid
daily or otherwise pursuant to a standing resolution or resolutions adopted
only once or with such frequency as the Trustees may determine, and may be
payable in Shares of that Series at the election of each Shareholder of
that Series.
(c) Anything in this instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustees may at any time declare and distribute pro rata among the
Shareholders of a particular Series as of the record date of that Series
fixed as provided in Section 3 hereof a "stock dividend".
REDEMPTIONS
Section 2. In case any holder of record of Shares of a particular Series
desires to dispose of his Shares, he may deposit at the office of the
transfer agent or other authorized agent of that Series a written request
or such other form of request as the Trustees may from time to time
authorize, requesting that the Series purchase the Shares in accordance
with this Section 2; and the Shareholder so requesting shall be entitled to
require the Series to purchase, and the Series or the principal underwriter
of the Series shall purchase his said Shares, but only at the Net Asset
Value thereof (as described in Section 3 hereof). The Series shall make
payment for any such Shares to be redeemed, as aforesaid, in cash or
property from the assets of that Series and payment for such Shares shall
be made by the Series or the principal underwriter of the Series to the
Shareholder of record within seven (7) days after the date upon which the
request is effective.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
AND VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO ASSETS
Section 3. The term "Net Asset Value" of any Series shall mean that amount
by which the assets of that Series, exceed its liabilities, all as
determined by or under the direction of the Trustees. Such value per Share
shall be determined separately for each Series of Shares and shall be
determined on such days and at such times as the Trustees may determine.
Such determination shall be made with respect to securities for which
market quotations are readily available, at the market value of such
securities; and with respect to other securities and assets, at the fair
value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, provided, however, that
the Trustees, without Shareholder approval, may alter the method of
appraising portfolio securities insofar as permitted under the 1940 Act and
the rules, regulations and interpretations thereof promulgated or issued by
the Commission or insofar as permitted by any Order of the Commission
applicable to the Series. The Trustees may delegate any of its powers and
duties under this Section 3 with respect to appraisal of assets and
liabilities. At any time the Trustees may cause the value per Share last
determined to be determined again in similar manner and may fix the time
when such redetermined value shall become effective.
SUSPENSION OF THE RIGHT OF REDEMPTION
Section 4. The Trustees may declare a suspension of the right of
redemption or postpone the date of payment as permitted under the 1940 Act.
Such suspension shall take effect at such time as the Trustees shall
specify but not later than the close of business on the business day next
following the declaration of suspension, and thereafter there shall be no
right of redemption or payment until the Trustees shall declare the
suspension at an end. In the case of a suspension of the right of
redemption, a Shareholder may either withdraw his request for redemption or
receive payment based on the Net Asset Value per Share existing after the
termination of the suspension.
ARTICLE XI
LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Section 1. Provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted
under the reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of
the Trust, the Trustees shall not be responsible for or liable in any event
for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee Or
investment adviser of the Trust, but nothing contained herein shall protect
any Trustee against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 2.
(a) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in Section (b)
below:
(i) every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or officer of the Trust
(hereinafter referred to as 'Covered Person') shall be indemnified by the
appropriate Series to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability
and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection
with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as
a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been a Trustee or
officer and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement
thereof;
(ii) the words "claim," "action," "suit," or "proceeding" shall apply to
all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or other,
including appeals), actual or threatened while in office or thereafter, and
the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines,
penalties and other liabilities.
(b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:
(i) who shall have been adjudicated by a court or body before which the
proceeding was brought (A) to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office or (B) not to
have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in
the best interest of the Trust; or
(ii) in the event of a settlement, unless there has been a determination
that such Trustee or officer did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
conduct of his office,
(A) by the court or other body approving the settlement;
(B) by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither interested
persons of the Trust nor are parties to the matter based upon a review of
readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or
(C) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of
readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry);
provided, however, that any Shareholder may, by appropriate legal
proceedings, challenge any such determination by the Trustees, or by
independent counsel.
(c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against
by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not be
exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now
or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to
be such Trustee or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained herein
shall affect any rights to indemnification to which Trust personnel, other
than Trustees and officers, and other persons may be entitled by contract
or otherwise under law.
(d) Expenses in connection with the preparation and presentation of a
defense to any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character described
in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 may be paid by the applicable Series
from time to time prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person that such amount will be
paid over by him to the applicable Series if it is ultimately determined
that he is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 2; provided,
however, that either (a) such Covered Person shall have provided
appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust is insured against
losses arising out of any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of
the Trustees who are neither interested persons of the Trust nor parties to
the matter, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have
determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a
trial-type inquiry or full investigation), that there is reason to believe
that such Covered Person will be found entitled to indemnification under
this Section 2.
SHAREHOLDERS
Section 3. In case any Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series of
the Trust shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his
being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his acts or omissions
or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his
heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the
case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general
successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable
Series to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and
expense arising from such liability. The Series shall, upon request by the
Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against the Shareholder
for any act or obligation of the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
TRUST NOT A PARTNERSHIP
Section 1. It is hereby expressly declared that a trust and not a
partnership is created hereby. No Trustee hereunder shall have any power to
bind personally either the Trust's officers or any Shareholder. All persons
extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust
or the Trustees shall look only to the assets of the appropriate Series for
payment under such credit, contract or claim; and neither the Shareholders
nor the Trustees, nor any of their agents, whether past, present or future,
shall be personally liable therefor. Nothing in this Declaration of Trust
shall protect a Trustee against any liability to which the Trustee would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
the office of Trustee hereunder.
TRUSTEE'S GOOD FAITH ACTION, EXPERT ADVICE, NO BOND OR SURETY
Section 2. The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretions
hereunder in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances
then prevailing, shall be binding upon everyone interested. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1 of this Article XII and to Article XI, the Trustees
shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. The
Trustees may take advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the
meaning and operation of this Declaration of Trust, and subject to the
provisions of Section 1 of this Article XII and to Article XI, shall be
under no liability for any act or omission in accordance with such advice
or for failing to follow such advice. The Trustees shall not be required to
give any bond as such, nor any surety if a bond is obtained.
ESTABLISHMENT OF RECORD DATES
Section 3. The Trustees may close the stock transfer books of the Trust
for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days preceding the date of any
meeting of Shareholders, or the date for the payment of any dividends, or
the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or
conversion or exchange of Shares shall go into effect; or in lieu of
closing the stock transfer books as aforesaid, the Trustees may fix in
advance a date not exceeding sixty (60) days preceding the date of any
meeting of Shareholders, or the date for payment of any dividend, or the
date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion
or exchange of Shares shall go into effect, as a record date for the
determination of the Shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
any such meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or
to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of
any such change, conversion or exchange of Shares, and in such case such
Shareholders and only such Shareholders as shall be Shareholders of record
on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at,
such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such
allotment or rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be,
notwithstanding any transfer of any Shares on the books of the Trust after
any such record date fixed or aforesaid.
TERMINATION OF TRUST
Section 4.
(a) This Trust shall continue without limitation of time but subject to
the provisions of sub-section (b) of this Section 4.
(b) Subject to a Majority Shareholder Vote of each Series affected by the
matter or, if applicable, to a Majority Shareholder Vote of the Trust, the
Trustees may
(i) sell and convey the assets of the Trust or any affected Series to
another trust, partnership, association or corporation organized under the
laws of any state which is a diversified open-end management investment
company as defined in the 1940 Act, for adequate consideration which may
include the assumption of all outstanding obligations, taxes and other
liabilities, accrued or contingent, of the Trust or any affected Series,
and which may include shares of beneficial interest or stock of such trust,
partnership, association or corporation; or
(ii) at any time sell and convert into money all of the assets of the
Trust or any affected Series.
Upon making provision for the payment of all such liabilities in either
(i) or (ii), by such assumption or otherwise, the Trustees shall distribute
the remaining proceeds or assets (as the case may be) ratably among the
holders of the Shares of the Trust or any affected Series then outstanding.
(c) Upon completion of the distribution of the remaining proceeds or the
remaining assets as provided in sub-section (b), the Trust or any affected
Series shall terminate and the Trustees shall be discharged of any and all
further liabilities and duties hereunder and the right, title and interest
of all parties shall be cancelled and discharged.
FILING OF COPIES, REFERENCES, AND HEADINGS
Section 5. The original or a copy of this instrument and of each
declaration of trust supplemental hereto shall be kept at the office of the
Trust where it may be inspected by any Shareholder. A copy of this
instrument and of each supplemental declaration of trust shall be filed by
the Trustees with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and
the Boston City Clerk, as well as any other governmental office where such
filing may from time to time be required. Anyone dealing with the Trust may
rely on a certificate by an officer or Trustee of the Trust as to whether
or not any such supplemental declarations of trust have been made and as to
any matters in connection with the Trust hereunder, and with the same
effect as if it were the original, may rely on a copy certified by an
officer or Trustee of the Trust to be a copy of this instrument or of any
such supplemental declaration of trust. In this instrument or in any such
supplemental declaration of trust, references to this instrument, and all
expressions like 'herein,' 'hereof' and 'hereunder,' shall be deemed to
refer to this instrument as amended or affected by any such supplemental
declaration of trust. Headings are placed herein for convenience of
reference only and in case of any conflict, the text of this instrument,
rather than the headings, shall control. This instrument may be executed in
any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original.
APPLICABLE LAW
Section 6. The trust set forth in this instrument is made in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and it is created under and is to be
governed by and construed and administered according to the laws of said
Commonwealth. The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a
Massachusetts business trust, and without limiting the provisions hereof,
the Trust may exercise all powers which are ordinarily exercised by such a
trust.
AMENDMENTS
Section 7. If authorized by votes of the Trustees and a Majority
Shareholder Vote, or by any larger vote which may be required by applicable
law or this Declaration of Trust in any particular case, the Trustees shall
amend or otherwise supplement this instrument, by making a declaration of
trust supplemental hereto, which thereafter shall form a part hereof,
except that an amendment which shall affect the Shareholders of one or more
Series but not the Shareholders of all outstanding Series shall be
authorized by vote of the Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares
entitled to vote of each Series affected and no vote of Shareholders of a
Series not affected shall be required. Amendments having the purpose of
changing the name of the Trust or of supplying any omission, curing any
ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or
inconsistent provision contained herein shall not require authorization by
Shareholder vote. Copies of the supplemental declaration of trust shall be
filed as specified in Section 5 of this Article XII.
FISCAL YEAR
Section 8. The fiscal year of the Trust shall end on a specified date as
set forth in the Bylaws, provided, however, that the Trustees may, without
Shareholder approval, change the fiscal year of the Trust.
USE OF THE WORD "FIDELITY"
Section 9. Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") has consented to
the use by any Series of the Trust of the identifying word "Fidelity" in
the name of any Series of the Trust at some future date. Such consent is
conditioned upon the employment of FMR as investment adviser of each Series
of the Trust. As between the Trust and itself, FMR controls the use of the
name of the Trust insofar as such name contains the identifying word
"Fidelity". FMR may from time to time use the identifying word "Fidelity"
in other connections and for other purposes, including, without limitation,
in the names of other investment companies, corporations or businesses
which it may manage, advise, sponsor or own or in which it may have a
financial interest. FMR may require the Trust or any Series thereof to
cease using the identifying word "Fidelity" in the name of the Trust or any
Series thereof if the Trust or any Series thereof ceases to employ FMR or a
subsidiary or affiliate thereof as investment adviser.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being all of the Trustees of the
Trust, have executed this instrument this 16th day of June, 1994.

Exhibit 6(c)

GENERAL DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
between
FIDELITY HASTINGS STREET TRUST
and
FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION
Agreement made this 15th day of July, 1994, between Fidelity Hastings
Street Trust, a Massachusetts business trust having its principal place of
business in Boston, Massachusetts and which may issue one or more series of
beneficial interest ("Issuer"), with respect to shares of Fidelity Fifty, a
series of the Issuer, and Fidelity Distributors Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation having its principal place of business in Boston,
Massachusetts ("Distributors").
In consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Shares - The Issuer grants to Distributors the right to sell
shares on behalf of the Issuer during the term of this Agreement and
subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("1933 Act"), and of the laws governing the sale of securities in
the various states ("Blue Sky Laws") under the following terms and
conditions: Distributors (i) shall have the right to sell, as agent on
behalf of the Issuer, shares authorized for issue and registered under the
1933 Act, and (ii) may sell shares under offers of exchange, if available,
between and among the funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research
Company ("FMR").
2. Sale of Shares by the Issuer - The rights granted to Distributors shall
be nonexclusive in that the Issuer reserves the right to sell its shares to
investors on applications received and accepted by the Issuer. Further,
the Issuer reserves the right to issue shares in connection with the merger
or consolidation, or acquisition by the Issuer through purchase or
otherwise, with any other investment company, trust, or personal holding
company.
3. Shares Covered by this Agreement - This Agreement shall apply to
unissued shares of the Issuer, shares of the Issuer held in its treasury in
the event that in the discretion of the Issuer treasury shares shall be
sold, and shares of the Issuer repurchased for resale.
4. Public Offering Price - Except as otherwise noted in the Issuer's
current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, all shares
sold to investors by Distributors or the Issuer will be sold at the public
offering price. The public offering price for all accepted subscriptions
will be the net asset value per share, as determined in the manner
described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional
Information, plus a sales charge (if any) described in the Issuer's current
Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information. The Issuer shall in
all cases receive the net asset value per share on all sales. If a sales
charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right subject to such
rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as may then
be in effect pursuant to Section 22 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
to pay a portion of the sales charge to dealers who have sold shares of the
Issuer. If a fee in connection with shareholder redemptions is in effect,
the Issuer shall collect the fee on behalf of Distributors and, unless
otherwise agreed upon by the Issuer and Distributors, Distributors shall be
entitled to receive all of such fees.
5. Suspension of Sales - If and whenever the determination of net asset
value is suspended and until such suspension is terminated, no further
orders for shares shall be processed by Distributors except such
unconditional orders as may have been placed with Distributors before it
had knowledge of the suspension. In addition, the Issuer reserves the
right to suspend sales and Distributors's authority to process orders for
shares on behalf of the Issuer if, in the judgment of the Issuer, it is in
the best interests of the Issuer to do so. Suspension will continue for
such period as may be determined by the Issuer.
6. Solicitation of Sales - In consideration of these rights granted to
Distributors, Distributors agrees to use all reasonable efforts, consistent
with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the Issuer.
This shall not prevent Distributors from entering into like arrangements
(including arrangements involving the payment of underwriting commissions)
with other issuers. This does not obligate Distributors to register as a
broker or dealer under the Blue Sky Laws of any jurisdiction in which it is
not now registered or to maintain its registration in any jurisdiction in
which it is now registered. If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors
shall have the right to enter into sales agreements with dealers of its
choice for the sale of shares of the Issuer to the public at the public
offering price only and fix in such agreements the portion of the sales
charge which may be retained by dealers, provided that the Issuer shall
approve the form of the dealer agreement and the dealer discounts set forth
therein and shall evidence such approval by filing said form of dealer
agreement and amendments thereto as an exhibit to its currently effective
Registration Statement under the 1933 Act.
7. Authorized Representations - Distributors is not authorized by the
Issuer to give any information or to make any representations other than
those contained in the appropriate registration statements or Prospectuses
and Statements of Additional Information filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act (as these registration statements,
Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information may be amended from
time to time), or contained in shareholder reports or other material that
may be prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer for Distributors's use. This
shall not be construed to prevent Distributors from preparing and
distributing sales literature or other material as it may deem appropriate.
8. Portfolio Securities - Portfolio securities of the Issuer may be bought
or sold by or through Distributors, and Distributors may participate
directly or indirectly in brokerage commissions or "spreads" for
transactions in portfolio securities of the Issuer.
9. Registration of Shares - The Issuer agrees that it will take all action
necessary to register shares under the 1933 Act (subject to the necessary
approval of its shareholders) so that there will be available for sale the
number of shares Distributors may reasonably be expected to sell. The
Issuer shall make available to Distributors such number of copies of its
currently effective Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as
Distributors may reasonably request. The Issuer shall furnish to
Distributors copies of all information, financial statements and other
papers which Distributors may reasonably request for use in connection with
the distribution of shares of the Issuer.
10. Expenses - The Issuer shall pay all fees and expenses (a) in connection
with the preparation, setting in type and filing of any registration
statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information under the
1933 Act and amendments for the issue of its shares, (b) in connection with
the registration and qualification of shares for sale in the various states
in which the Board of Trustees of the Issuer shall determine it advisable
to qualify such shares for sale (including registering the Issuer as a
broker or dealer or any officer of the Issuer as agent or salesman in any
state), (c) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing any report
or other communication to shareholders of the Issuer in their capacity as
such, and (d) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing
Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and any supplements
thereto sent to existing shareholders.
11. Indemnification - The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Distributors and each of its directors and officers and each person, if
any, who controls Distributors within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the
reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability,
claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in
connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares,
based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus,
Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other
information filed or made public by the Issuer (as from time to time
amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make
the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or
the common law. However, the Issuer does not agree to indemnify
Distributors or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or
omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information
furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of Distributors. In no case (i) is
the indemnity of the Issuer in favor of Distributors or any person
indemnified to be deemed to protect Distributors or any person against any
liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which Distributors or
such person would otherwise be subject by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of
its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
or (ii) is the Issuer to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained
in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against Distributors or
any person indemnified unless Distributors or person, as the case may be,
shall have notified the Issuer in writing of the claim within a reasonable
time after the summons or other first written notification giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon
Distributors or any such person (or after Distributors or such person shall
have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure
to notify the Issuer of any claim shall not relieve the Issuer from any
liability which it may have to Distributors or any person against whom such
action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement
contained in this paragraph. The Issuer shall be entitled to participate
at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the
defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims, but if the Issuer elects
to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by
it and satisfactory to Distributors or person or persons, defendant or
defendants in the suit. In the event the Issuer elects to assume the
defense of any suit and retain counsel, Distributors, officers or directors
or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit,
shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by
them. If the Issuer does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it
will reimburse Distributors, officers or directors or controlling person or
persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and
expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Issuer agrees to notify
Distributors promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings
against it or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the
issuance or sale of any of the shares.
Distributors also covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold
harmless the Issuer and each of its Board members and officers and each
person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, damages, claim or expense
(including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged
loss, liability, damages, claim or expense and reasonable counsel fees
incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring
any shares, based upon the 1933 Act or any other statute or common law,
alleging any wrongful act of Distributors or any of its employees or
alleging that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of
Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or
made public by the Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading,
insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in
conformity with information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of
Distributors. In no case (i) is the indemnity of Distributors in favor of
the Issuer or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Issuer or
any person against any liability to which the Issuer or such person would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is
Distributors to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph with respect to any claim made against the Issuer or any person
indemnified unless the Issuer or person, as the case may be, shall have
notified Distributors in writing of the claim within a reasonable time
after the summons or other first written notification giving information of
the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Issuer or any such
person (or after the Issuer or such person shall have received notice of
service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify Distributors
of any claim shall not relieve Distributors from any liability which it may
have to the Issuer or any person against whom the action is brought
otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph. In the case of any notice to Distributors, it shall be entitled
to participate, at its own expense, in the defense or, if it so elects, to
assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim, but if
Distributors elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted
by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Issuer, to its officers and
Board and to any controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in
