SUPPLEMENT TO THE
FIDELITY TREND FUND
A Fund of Fidelity Trend Fund
STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
February 20, 1999
The following information replaces similar information found under
the heading in the "Investment Policies and Limitations" section
beginning on page 2. (iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a
bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which
FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in
reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase
agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental
investment limitation (3)).
(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of
the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)
The following paragraph replaces the third paragraph under the
heading "Exposure to Foreign Markets" found in the "Investments
Policies and Limitations" section beginning on page 2.
It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign
securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign
issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of
comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the
insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities
depository or foreign subcustodian. For example, many foreign
countries are less prepared than the United States to properly process
and calculate information related to dates from and after January 1,
2000. As a result, some foreign markets, brokers, banks or securities
depositories could experience at least temporary disruptions, which
could result in difficulty buying and selling securities in certain foreign
markets and pricing foreign investments, and foreign issuers could fail
to pay timely dividends, interest or principal. In addition, the costs
associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes,
brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than
with U.S. investments.
