PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first nine
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year. In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. Asset Manager funds are
already diversified because they invest in stocks, bonds and short-term
investments, both in the U.S. and overseas.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total
return includes changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses, the fund's life of fund figure would have been
lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 PAST 1 LIFE OF

Asset Manager: Growth 12.99% 83.86%
S&P 500(registered trademark) 20.33% 92.40%
Flexible Portfolio Funds Average 12.33% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund started on
December 30, 1991. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a
5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks.
To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the flexible portfolio funds average, which reflects the
performance of 178 mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., over the past 12 months. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Asset Manager: Growth on December 31, 1991, just after
the fund started. As the chart shows, by September 30, 1996, the value of
the investment would have grown to $18,241 - an 82.41% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over the
same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would
have grown to $18,746 - an 87.46% increase. You can also look at how the
Fidelity Aggressive Asset Allocation Composite Index, a hypothetical
combination of unmanaged indices, did over the same period. Reflecting the
fund's neutral mix of 65% stocks, 30% bonds, and 5% short-term instruments,
this index combines returns from the S&P 500 (+87.46%), Lehman Brothers
Treasury Bond Index (+35.43%), and the Salomon Brothers 3-month T-Bill
Total Rate of Return Index (+22.28%) and assumes monthly rebalancing. With
dividends and interest, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment
would have grown to $16,699 - a 66.99% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
The stock market rebounded from a mid-summer downturn caused by confusion
over the direction of interest rates, posting strong returns for the 12
months ended September 30, 1996. U.S. bond markets also recovered from a
downturn earlier in the year that was sparked by fears of rising interest
rates.
STOCKS: The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 20.33% during the period -
above its long-term average of about 12%. The stock market spent much of
the past year breaking price and trading volume records as strong corporate
earnings reports, large cash inflows into mutual funds and widespread
optimism propelled share prices higher. Further, the period was peppered
with several high-profile merger announcements, especially in the media,
telecommunications and technology sectors. While continued confusion over
the direction of interest rates created a volatile backdrop in the summer
months, stocks rallied late in the period when the Federal Reserve Board
left short-term interest rates unchanged, and it appeared inflation would
not be an issue for the remainder of 1996. Smaller-company stocks posted
strong gains at the beginning of 1996, but trended downward in the spring
and summer because they tend to be more affected by the higher borrowing
costs brought on by higher rates. When interest rate fears subsided toward
the end of the period, these stocks again posted strong price gains. The
broad market posted more consistent gains in late summer, while
larger-company stocks took the lead in the spring and climbed to new highs
in September.
BONDS: Bond markets rebounded from sharp sell-offs earlier in 1996, as
investors gained confidence that rising interest rates might not be a
problem in an election year. For the 12 months ended September 30, 1996,
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - a broad measure of U.S. taxable
bonds - returned 4.90%. In January, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its
target for the fed funds rate - the rate banks charge each other on
overnight loans - from 5.50% to 5.25%, but the move largely was already
taken into account by the market. Surprisingly robust employment reports in
March reversed market sentiment, causing the yield on the 30-year Treasury
bond to rise to over 7%, a level not seen in over a year. By June, however,
soothing comments from Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan helped ease the market's
fears of Fed interest rate increases and the 30-year yield dropped back
below 7%. While bonds traded in a narrow range in the summer months -
reflecting confusion over the direction of interest rates - the Fed's
decision to take no action at the end of September, coupled with weaker
than expected employment data, helped ease the market's fears.
Investment-grade mortgage-backed securities performed well relative to
other investment-grade securities. With prepayment fears easing in the face
of a rising mortgage rate environment, the Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index
returned 5.86% during the period.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
An interview with Richard Habermann (center), Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Asset Manager: Growth, as well as George Vanderheiden (left) and Michael
Gray, sub-managers for stocks and bonds, respectively.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DICK?
D.H. For the year ended September 30, 1996, the fund had a total return of
12.99%. This was slightly better than the flexible portfolio funds average,
according to Lipper Analytical Services, which was 12.33%.
Q. IT APPEARS YOU'VE MADE SOME CHANGES WITH THE FUND. WOULD YOU SUMMARIZE
THEM FOR US?
D.H. For the fund's bond investments, we positioned most of our
fixed-income assets in investment-grade, dollar-denominated securities. We
also shortened the bond portfolio's duration - or sensitivity to interest
rates - to bring it more in line with the bond market average (as
represented by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index). On the equity
side, we reduced the fund's exposure to foreign stocks. In general, we also
emphasized large-capitalization stocks whose dividend yields were slightly
higher than that of the market.
Q. WHAT WAS THE FUND'S ASSET MIX AT THE END OF THE PERIOD COMPARED TO SIX
MONTHS AGO?
D.H. The fund had about 71% in stocks, 21% in bonds and 8% in short-term
instruments. Six months ago, the fund was about 67% stocks, 20% bonds and
13% short-term instruments compared to a neutral mix of 65% stocks, 30%
bonds and 5% short-term instruments. Comparing the fund's asset allocation
at the end of the period to six months ago, the most significant change was
that we increased the fund's weighting in stocks - at the expense of
short-term instruments - although they still remain fairly close to a
neutral weighting.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME DETAILS ON YOUR ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGY?
D.H. We significantly raised the fund's equity position for much of the
period, then reduced it a bit in September to take advantage of the bond
market. Both in the past spring and this past July, raising the equity
position benefited the fund when investors bid up stock prices after
finding that some negative corporate earnings reports were not indicative
of the state of the overall market. On the bond side, we sold our positions
in emerging market debt when these markets were very strong. Additionally,
at certain times during the period, the bond market was spooked by stronger
than expected economic data that was considered to be a signal of
inflation. Bond investors fear inflation because it erodes the value of
fixed-income investments. We bought more investment-grade bonds when their
prices fell and their yields rose in response to the economic data.
Therefore, we were able to lock in higher yields on our new fixed-income
investments. Yields subsequently fell, increasing the value of the
fixed-income securities we had purchased earlier.
Q. SO HOW DID THIS FIT IN WITH THE WEIGHTING IN BONDS?
D.H. The market has spent much of 1996 worried about inflation. However, in
the last few months of the period, economic evidence such as declining
durable goods orders and a weak September employment report suggested that
the economy was, in fact, slowing. With this evidence, it made sense to
modestly increase the bond component.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, GEORGE, WHAT STOCK-PICKING STRATEGIES HAVE YOU PURSUED?
G.V. I've sought to minimize the risk in the stock holdings because I
considered stock market valuations to be high on a historical basis. As a
result, I've pursued two strategies - growth at a reasonable price and
vulture investing. I have always felt the most prudent way to buy growth
stocks is to get as much total return, meaning stock appreciation plus
dividend yield, for as small a price as possible. The price you pay for a
growth stock is reflected in its price-to-earnings ratio, or how much times
earnings the market thinks that stock is worth. To give an example, both
Philip Morris and Coca-Cola are growth stocks with each having grown its
earnings per share at an 18% growth rate over the past 10 years. Assuming
they can sustain similar growth rates in the future, Philip Morris would
have a higher total return because its dividend yield is 5%, whereas Coke's
is 1%. But look at what the market is paying for each stock's total return.
At the end of the period, Coke was at around $51 and the consensus estimate
for its earnings per share was $1.40 for 1996, thereby producing a
price-to-earnings ratio of 36 times. Philip Morris was at about $90 with a
consensus earnings-per-share estimate of $7.70 for 1996, thereby producing
a price-to-earnings ratio of 12 times. Litigation concerns have been
dragging down Philip Morris' ratio, but litigation worries have been around
for 15 years and this was the biggest gap between Philip Morris' and Coke's
price-to-earnings ratios. This is why I invested in Philip Morris and not
Coca-Cola.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY VULTURE INVESTING?
G.V. Occasionally bad things happen to good stocks. Quality growth stocks
may stumble temporarily due to new product introductions, too much
inventory or manufacturing problems that cause a disappointment in
quarterly earnings. If these are truly temporary occurrences, they can be
wonderful opportunities to buy a stock or sector when prices are down. For
example, in January 1996, Intel stock had dropped to $50 from $75 months
before as concerns developed over its receivables with Packard Bell. Nine
months later the stock had increased substantially. Buying a sector with
good long-term fundamentals after it has suffered a big decline can
mitigate risk and enhance the ultimate upside gain. It does require
patience.
Q. MICHAEL, DICK TALKED ABOUT ADDING INVESTMENT-GRADE SECURITIES. WHERE
HAVE YOU FOUND OPPORTUNITIES?
M.G. I've increased the fund's investments in bonds that offered a yield
advantage over Treasuries - agency issues, mortgage-backed securities and
corporate bonds.
Q. WHAT MADE THE CORPORATE BONDS MORE ATTRACTIVE?
M.G. As Dick said, they became inexpensive earlier in the period. In
addition, for most of the period, the fundamental outlook for corporations
was favorable. That is, business prospects appeared to improve. The best
indicator of a favorable corporate environment has been a strong stock
market. This strength showed that corporations were doing well and that
investors were comfortable with prospects as they drove up stock prices.
Part of that optimism was a function of the economic environment, which has
been fairly positive. Despite the bond market's inflation fears this past
spring, the economy looked like it was growing while inflation remained
under control. Moderate growth with low inflation is a good recipe for
corporations. In addition, there was a limited supply of new corporate
issues, along with fairly strong demand. Many investors were looking for
added yield, and there wasn't much to buy in the way of corporate bonds.
This backdrop helped corporate bonds post strong price gains on a relative
basis.
Q. WERE THERE OTHER TYPES OF BONDS THAT WERE ATTRACTIVE TO YOU?
M.G. I was attracted to Yankee bonds. These are dollar-denominated bonds
issued in the U.S. by foreign banks, governments and corporations. They
tend to trade more cheaply than other bonds with similar credit ratings,
and often don't drop in price as quickly as corporate bonds when bad news
affects the issuer.
Q. WHAT KINDS OF MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES DID YOU FAVOR?
M.G. When rates rose earlier in the period, I bought mortgage-backed
securities that were selling at a discount. In general, I sought securities
that I found to be less susceptible to changes in interest rates than other
choices in the mortgage-backed sector. Mortgage-backed securities tend not
to perform well if rates go up or down sharply, so I looked for those whose
structure by nature would make them less sensitive to interest rate
changes. Those securities tended to be in 15-year and 30-year mortgages
that were selling at a discount.
Q. TURNING BACK TO YOU, DICK, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
D.H. I think there is compelling evidence that the economy is slowing. For
stocks, companies have already reported an inability to pass on the higher
costs of this country's tight labor market. Therefore, one could assume
that it's going to be more difficult for corporate America to post
significant earnings gains. This
type of environment will demand an even more intensive, research-oriented
approach that results in very selective stock picking. In this regard, our
new management structure, which leverages George's 25 years of stock
picking experience, could play an important role. As for fixed-income, a
slower economy makes a compelling case for bonds, and Michael will continue
to look for value in the government, mortgage and corporate sectors of the
market.

DICK HABERMANN ON THE FUND'S
MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE:
"I think our new management
structure has been
progressing nicely. In my
opinion, one of the true
strengths of Fidelity has been
strong security selection. This
is only enhanced by the years
of invaluable experience
George Vanderheiden and
Michael Gray bring to the
fund. In addition, overlaying
the security selection process
is a disciplined approach to
asset allocation. George and
Michael are free to overweight
and underweight individual
stocks and bonds, while I can
manage the overall portfolio in
relation to the fund's neutral
mix. The neutral mix makes a
lot of sense because if I'm not
keen on a particular asset
class, I can underweight that
class without being
completely out of the market."

ADDITIONAL INTERVIEW ON POLICY CHANGES
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Beginning on December 1, 1996, Asset Manager:
Growth's neutral mix of investments will be changing, and there will be a
change in how bonds and short-term instruments are classified. In the
following additional interview segment, Portfolio Manager Dick Habermann
discusses these changes.
Q. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FUND'S NEUTRAL ALLOCATION PERCENTAGES ARE
CHANGING. CAN YOU EXPLAIN?
A. Yes. Currently, Asset Manager: Growth's neutral mix - which represents
how the fund's investments will be allocated, on average, over the long
term - is 65% stocks, 30% bonds and 5% short-term instruments. Under a new
policy approved by the fund's Board of Trustees, the neutral mix will be
70% stocks, 25% bonds and 5% short-term/money market. As always, this mix
will vary over short-term periods as fund management makes gradual
adjustments to the portfolio's holdings - within defined ranges - based on
the current outlook for the different markets. The neutral mix is designed
to establish a general direction for the fund and communicate the expected
posture of the fund going forward.
Q. WHAT DO THESE CHANGES MEAN?
A. The most significant impact of the changes is a 5% increase in the
fund's equity allocation at the expense of the
bond component. The other changes to the bond and short-term classes are
mainly a redefinition of the dividing line of short-term securities and
longer-term bonds.
Q. SO YOU ARE ALSO CHANGING THE DEFINITION OF "SHORT-TERM" FOR THE PURPOSES
OF HOW THE FUND LOOKS AT ITS ALLOCATIONS . . .
A. The short-term asset class in the fund currently includes all bonds and
short-term instruments with maturities of three years or less. Under our
new definition, we will generally move securities with one to three years
remaining maturity into the bond class, leaving shorter-term instruments in
a newly named "short-term/money market" class. In addition to redefining
the bond and short-term classes, we also are assigning a manager to the
short-term/money market part of the fund: John Todd, a veteran manager in
our money market fund group who has been with Fidelity since 1981.
Q. WHY ARE YOU MAKING THESE CHANGES?
A. With the changes in the management structure, we thought it was a good
time to reassess the neutral mix based on what we learned since we launched
the first Asset Manager fund in 1988.
One thing we found is that stocks have continued to provide superior
returns relative to both intermediate and long term bonds. At the same
time, the volatility of stocks and bonds by some measures has been
converging. Based on
this comparison and other factors we evaluated, we believe the fund can
modestly increase its allocation to equities and thus its potential return
without unduly affecting its volatility.
Shareholders should remember that these allocations simply represent a
neutral mix. Because the fund is actively managed, allocations will change
based on the market environment. The allocation ranges for each asset class
have been modified to accommodate the change in the neutral mix.
Q. AND WHY ARE YOU REDEFINING THE SHORT-TERM CLASS AND ASSIGNING A
SUB-PORTFOLIO MANAGER?
A. We believe that actively managing the short-term part of the portfolio
more like a money market fund will help to make this category more stable.
Additionally, this redefinition is in line with the way Fidelity looks at
fixed-income asset classes across our funds.
Q. WILL THESE CHANGES HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE LEVEL OF FOREIGN SECURITIES
HELD IN THE FUND?
A. Because part of the fund's goal is to produce high total return over the
long-term through diversification, foreign investments will continue to
play a role in the fund. However, we are more likely to seek investment
opportunities first in domestic markets.
Q. HOW WILL YOU BE BRINGING THE FUND IN LINE WITH THE NEW POLICIES?
A. We will be making gradual changes, so that at the start of 1997, the
fund's neutral allocation mix and holdings should be where we want them.
Shareholders should keep in mind that we're continually fine-tuning the
fund within its prospectus parameters to achieve the best risk-reward
ratio, so making changes over the next month won't be unusual.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended September 30, 1996
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Asset Manager: Growth (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles
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 financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which permit management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the
date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Equity securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Debt securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as
determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales
prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are
normally traded. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not
readily available 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.
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. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
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 substantially 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
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 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for contingent
interest, futures and options transactions, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, non-taxable
dividends and 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 and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions 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 use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
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
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase for U.S. Treasury or Federal
Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
Securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are marked-to-market
daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of
the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in
currency values. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to
increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures,
buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an
illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do
not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may invest in indexed securities whose values
are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies,
interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. The
fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to
different underlying
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
INDEXED SECURITIES - CONTINUED
instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to
invest in through conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the
amount of the original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $881,000 or 0.0%
of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $3,848,866,000 and $3,829,181,000, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $1,721,984,000 and
$1,636,498,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts closed during the period amounted to
$72,212,000.
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 and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .69% of
average net assets. Effective August 1, 1996, FMR voluntarily agreed to
reduce Asset Manager: Growth's individual fund fee rate from .40% to .30%.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the
period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .26%
of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED
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 $589,000 for the period.
5. 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
$323,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used
to offset a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $3,000 and $209,000,
respectively, under these arrangements.
6. LITIGATION.
The fund is engaged in litigation against the obligor on the inflation
adjusted debt of Siderurgica Brasileiras SA, contesting the calculation of
the principal adjustment. As of period end, the fund no longer holds
Siderurgica Brasileiras SA debt securities. The probability of success of
this litigation cannot be predicted and the amount of recovery cannot be
estimated. Any recovery from this litigation would inure to the benefit of
the fund.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period with
companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Asset Manager: Growth:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments (except for Moody's and Standard &
Poor's ratings), and the related statements of operations and of changes in
net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager: Growth (a fund
of Fidelity Charles Street Trust) at September 30, 1996, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Fidelity Asset Manager: Growth's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30,
1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application
of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were
not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first nine
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year. In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. Asset Manager funds are
already diversified because they invest in stocks, bonds and short-term
investments, both in the U.S. and overseas.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total
return includes changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses, the fund's life of fund figures would have been
lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Asset Manager: Income 7.28% 40.55%
Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/ 5.13% 24.52%
Corporate Bond Index
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index 4.90% 27.34%
Income Funds Average 10.90% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, or since the fund started on
October 1, 1992. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a
5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index, which is a market
value weighted performance benchmark for government and corporate
fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and 10 years, and the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index which is a market value weighted
performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues,
including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed
securities, with maturities of at least one year. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the income
funds average, which reflects the performance of 35 mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. over the
past 12 months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in in Fidelity Asset Manager: Income on October 1, 1992, when the
fund started. As the chart shows, by September 30, 1996, the value of the
investment would have grown to $14,055 - a 40.55% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $12,734 - a 27.34% increase. Beginning with
this report, the fund will compare its performance to the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index rather than the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index. The Aggregate Bond Index includes
government bonds, as well as a wider range of corporate bonds, which are
more reflective of the fund's range of permitted investments. For
comparison purposes, both indices are shown on page 4. You can also look at
how the Fidelity Conservative Composite Index, a hypothetical combination
of unmanaged indices, did over the same period. Reflecting the fund's
neutral mix of 20% stocks, 30% bonds, and 50% short-term instruments, this
index combines returns from the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (+82.94%),
Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index (+26.32%), and the Salomon Brothers
3-month T-Bill Total Rate of Return Index (+18.93%) and assumes monthly
rebalancing. With dividends and interest, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $13,237 - a 32.37% increase.

MARKET RECAP
The stock market rebounded from a mid-summer downturn caused by confusion
over the direction of interest rates, posting strong returns for the 12
months ended September 30, 1996. U.S. bond markets also recovered from a
downturn earlier in the year that was sparked by fears of rising interest
rates.
BONDS: Bond markets rebounded from sharp sell-offs earlier in 1996, as
investors gained confidence that rising interest rates might not be a
problem in an election year. For the 12 months ended September 30, 1996,
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - a broad measure of U.S. taxable
bonds - returned 4.90%. In January, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its
target for the fed funds rate - the rate banks charge each other on
overnight loans - from 5.50% to 5.25%, but the move largely was already
taken into account by the market. Surprisingly robust employment reports in
March reversed market sentiment, causing the yield on the 30-year Treasury
bond to rise to over 7%, a level not seen in over a year. By June, however,
soothing comments from Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan helped ease the market's
fears of Fed interest rate increases and the 30-year yield dropped back
below 7%. While bonds traded in a narrow range in the summer months -
reflecting confusion over the direction of interest rates - the Fed's
decision to take no action at the end of September, coupled with weaker
than expected employment data, helped ease the market's fears.
Investment-grade mortgage-backed securities performed well relative to
other investment-grade securities. With prepayment fears easing in the face
of a rising mortgage rate environment, the Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index
returned 5.86% during the period.
STOCKS: The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 20.33% during the period -
above its long-term average of about 12%. The stock market spent much of
the past year breaking price and trading volume records as strong corporate
earnings reports, large cash inflows into mutual funds and widespread
optimism propelled share prices higher. Further, the period was peppered
with several high-profile merger announcements, especially in the media,
telecommunications and technology sectors. While continued confusion over
the direction of interest rates created a volatile backdrop in the summer
months, stocks rallied late in the period when the Federal Reserve Board
left short-term interest rates unchanged, and it appeared inflation would
not be an issue for the remainder of 1996. Smaller-company stocks posted
strong gains at the beginning of 1996, but trended downward in the spring
and summer because they tend to be more affected by the higher borrowing
costs brought on by higher rates. When interest rate fears subsided toward
the end of the period, these stocks again posted strong price gains. The
broad market posted more consistent gains in late summer, while
larger-company stocks took the lead in the spring and climbed to new highs
in September.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
An interview with Richard Habermann (center), Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Asset Manager: Income as well as George Vanderheiden (left) and Michael
Gray, sub-managers for stocks and bonds, respectively.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DICK?
D.H. For the year ended September 30, 1996, the fund had a total return of
7.28%. This trailed the income funds average, according to Lipper
Analytical Services, which was 10.90%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND CONTINUE TO LAG?
D.H. I believe the fund's underperformance occurred as a result of our
repositioning of the fund. In the process, we had to absorb some losses in
selling some long-term U.S. Treasury securities and foreign debt. Once this
transition was completed, we found that the fund's newly restructured
portfolio was performing as expected relative to its neutral allocations.
Q. WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THIS REPOSITIONING?
D.H. For the fund's bond portfolio, we positioned most of our fixed-income
assets in investment-grade, dollar-denominated securities. We also
shortened the bond portfolio's duration - or sensitivity to interest rates
- - to bring it more in line with the bond market average (as represented by
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index). On the equity side, we reduced
the fund's exposure to foreign stocks. In general, we also emphasized
large-capitalization stocks whose dividend yields were slightly higher than
that of the market.
Q. WHAT WAS THE FUND'S ASSET ALLOCATION AT THE END OF THE PERIOD COMPARED
TO SIX MONTHS AGO?
D.H. The fund had about 22% in stocks, 37% in bonds and 41% in short-term
instruments. Six months ago, the fund was about 24% stocks, 40% bonds and
36% short-term instruments, compared to a neutral mix of 20% stocks, 30%
bonds and 50% short-term instruments. While there were some minor asset
allocation changes relative to six months ago, the fund continues to be
overweighted in bonds relative to its neutral mix.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME DETAILS ON YOUR ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGY?
D.H. We raised the fund's equity position for much of the period, then
reduced it a bit in September to take advantage of the bond market. Both in
the past spring and this past July, raising the equity position benefited
the fund when investors bid up stock prices after finding that some
negative corporate earnings reports were not indicative of the state of the
overall market. On the bond side, at certain times during the period, the
market was spooked by stronger than expected economic data that was
considered to be a signal of inflation. Bond investors fear inflation
because it erodes the value of fixed-income investments. We bought more
investment-grade bonds when their prices fell and their yields rose in
response to the economic data. Therefore, we were able to lock in higher
yields on our new fixed-income investments. Yields subsequently fell,
increasing the value of the fixed-income securities we had purchased
earlier.
Q. SO HOW DOES THIS FIT IN WITH YOUR BOND STRATEGY?
D.H. The market has spent much of 1996 worried about inflation. However, in
the past few months of the period, economic evidence such as declining
durable goods orders and a weak September employment report suggested that
the economy was, in fact, slowing. With this evidence, it made sense to
de-emphasize stocks a bit.
Q. MICHAEL, DICK TALKED ABOUT ADDING INVESTMENT-GRADE SECURITIES. WHERE
HAVE YOU FOUND OPPORTUNITIES?
M.G. I've increased the fund's investments in bonds that offered a yield
advantage over Treasuries - such as agency issues, mortgage-backed
securities and corporate bonds.
Q. WHAT MADE THE CORPORATE BONDS MORE ATTRACTIVE?
M.G. As Dick said, they became inexpensive earlier in the period. In
addition, for most of the period, the fundamental outlook for corporations
was favorable. That is, business prospects appeared to improve. The best
indicator of a favorable corporate environment has been a strong stock
market. This strength showed that corporations were doing well and that
investors were comfortable with prospects as they drove up stock prices.
Part of that optimism was a function of the economic environment, which has
been fairly positive.
Despite the bond market's inflation fears this past spring, the economy
looked like it was growing while inflation remained under control. Moderate
growth with low inflation is a good recipe for corporations. In addition,
there was a limited supply of new corporate issues, along with fairly
strong demand. Many investors were looking for added yield and there wasn't
much to buy in the way of corporate bonds. This backdrop helped corporate
bonds post strong price gains on a relative basis.
Q. WERE THERE OTHER TYPES OF BONDS THAT WERE ATTRACTIVE TO YOU?
M.G. I was attracted to Yankee bonds. These are dollar-denominated bonds
issued in the U.S. by foreign banks, governments and corporations. They
tend to trade more cheaply than other bonds with similar credit ratings,
and often don't drop in price as quickly as corporate bonds when bad news
affects the issuer.
Q. WHAT KINDS OF MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES DID YOU FAVOR?
M.G. When rates rose earlier in the period, I bought mortgage-backed
securities that were selling at a discount. In general, I sought securities
that I found to be less susceptible to changes in interest rates than other
choices in the mortgage-backed sector. Mortgage-backed securities tend not
to perform well if rates go up or down sharply, so I looked for those whose
structure by nature would make them less sensitive to interest rate
changes. Those securities tended to be in 15-year and 30-year mortgages
that were selling at a discount.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, GEORGE, WHAT STOCK-PICKING STRATEGIES DID YOU PURSUE?
G.V. I've sought to minimize the risk in the stock portfolio because I
considered stock market valuations to be high on a historical basis. As a
result, I've pursued two strategies - growth at a reasonable price and
vulture investing. I have always felt the most prudent way to buy growth
stocks is to get as much total return, meaning stock appreciation plus
dividend yield, for as small a price as possible. The price you pay for a
growth stock is reflected in its price-to-earnings ratio, or how many times
earnings the market thinks that stock is worth. To give an example, both
Philip Morris and Coca-Cola are growth stocks with each having grown its
earnings per share at an 18% growth rate over the past 10 years. Assuming
they can sustain similar growth rates in the future, Philip Morris would
have a higher total return because its dividend yield is 5%, whereas Coke's
is 1%. But look at what the market is paying for each stock's total return.
At the end of the period, Coke was at around $51 and the consensus estimate
for its earnings per share was $1.40 for 1996, thereby producing a
price-to-earnings ratio of 36 times. Philip Morris was at about $90, with a
consensus earnings-per-share estimate of $7.70 for 1996, thereby producing
a price-to-earnings ratio of 12 times. Litigation concerns have been
dragging down Philip Morris' ratio, but litigation worries have been around
for 15 years and this was the biggest gap between Philip Morris' and Coke's
price-to-earnings ratios. This is why I invested in Philip Morris and not
Coca-Cola.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY VULTURE INVESTING?
G.V. Occasionally bad things happen to good stocks. Quality growth stocks
may stumble temporarily due to new product introductions, too much
inventory or manufacturing problems that cause a disappointment in
quarterly earnings. If these are truly temporary occurrences, they can be
wonderful opportunities to buy a stock or sector when prices are down. For
example, in January 1996, Intel stock had dropped to $50 from $75 months
before as concerns developed over its receivables with Packard Bell. Nine
months later the stock had increased substantially. Buying a group with
good long-term fundamentals after it has suffered a big decline not only
can mitigate risk but also can enhance the ultimate upside gain. It does
require patience.
Q. TURNING BACK TO YOU, DICK, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
D.H. I think there is compelling evidence that the economy is slowing. For
stocks, companies have already reported an inability to pass on the higher
costs of this country's tight labor market. Therefore, one could assume
that it's going to be more difficult for corporate America to post
significant earnings gains. This type of environment will demand an even
more intensive, research-oriented approach that results in very selective
stock picking. In this regard, our new management structure, which
leverages George's 25 years of stock picking experience, could play an
important role. As for fixed-income, a slower economy makes a compelling
case for bonds, and Michael will continue to look for value in the
government, mortgage and corporate sectors of the market.

ADDITIONAL INTERVIEW ON POLICY CHANGES
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Beginning on December 1, 1996, Asset Manager: Income
will be changing how bonds and short-term instruments are classified,
causing a minor change in the fund's neutral mix of investments. In the
following additional interview segment, Portfolio Manager Dick Habermann
discusses these changes.
Q. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FUND'S NEUTRAL ALLOCATION PERCENTAGES ARE
CHANGING. CAN YOU EXPLAIN?
A. Yes. We're changing the definition of "short-term" for the purposes of
how the fund looks at its allocations. The short-term asset class in the
fund currently includes all bonds and short-term instruments with
maturities of three years or less. Under our new definition, we will move
securities with one to three years remaining maturity into the bond class,
leaving shorter-term instruments in a newly named "short-term/money market"
class. This will have the effect of moving bonds with one to three years'
remaining maturity out of the short-term class and into the bond class.
This class, in general, will include securities with remaining maturities
of 12 months or less and securities with comparable interest rate
sensitivity. Thus, the fund's neutral mix will be 20% stocks, 50% bonds and
30% short-term/money market, where, under the current definition of
short-term class, it is 20% stocks, 30% bonds and 50% short-term
instruments. As always, this allocation will vary over short-term periods
as fund management makes gradual adjustments to the portfolio's holdings -
within defined ranges - based on the current outlook for the different
markets. The neutral mix is designed to help the portfolio, over the long
term, pursue its goal by diversifying investments across stocks, bonds and
short-term instruments.
Q. ARE THERE OTHER CHANGES?
A. In addition to changing the definition of short-term, we also are
assigning a manager to the short-term/money market part of the fund: John
Todd, a veteran manager in our money market fund group who has been with
Fidelity since 1981. I should also point out that the one-year cutoff for
the short-term/money market class is really more of a risk guideline than a
maturity limit. In cases where maturity isn't a good indicator of
interest-rate risk, we'll use our judgment as to which class best reflects
a security's overall risk/return characteristics.
Q. WHY ARE YOU REDEFINING THE SHORT-TERM CLASS AND ASSIGNING A
SUB-PORTFOLIO MANAGER?
A. We believe that actively managing the short-term part of the portfolio
more like a money market fund will make this category more stable without
reducing the potential for return. Additionally, this redefinition is in
line with the way Fidelity looks at fixed-income asset classes across our
funds.
Q. HOW WILL YOU BE BRINGING THE FUND IN LINE WITH THE NEW POLICIES?
A. We will be making gradual changes so that at the start of 1997, the
fund's neutral allocation mix and holdings should be where we want them.
Shareholders should keep in mind that we're continually fine-tuning the
fund within its prospectus parameters to achieve the best risk-reward
ratio. So the changes we will be making over the next month won't be
unusual. Shareholders also should remember there are ranges within each
class, spelled out in the fund's prospectus, that generally are not
exceeded. These ranges have been modified to accommodate the change in the
neutral mix.

of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from

represents the rate at period end.
5. Some foreign government obligations have not been individually rated by

fund's investment adviser, based principally on S&P and Moody's ratings of
the sovereign credit of the issuing government.
6. Debt obligation initially issued at one coupon which converts to a
higher coupon at a specified date.
OTHER INFORMATION

For some foreign government obligations, FMR has assigned the ratings of
the sovereign credit of the issuing government. The percentage not rated by
both S&P and Moody's amounted to 0.6%. FMR has determined that unrated debt
securities that are lower quality account for 0.4% of the total value of
investment in securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended September 30, 1996
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Asset Manager: Income (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles
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 financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which permit management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the
date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Debt securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as
determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales
prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are
normally traded. Equity securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not
readily available 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.
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. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
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 substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, foreign currency transactions, passive
foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, non-taxable
dividends, capital loss carryforwards, and 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 and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions 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 use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase for U.S. Treasury or Federal
Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
Securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are marked-to-market
daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of
the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may invest in indexed securities whose values
are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies,
interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. The
fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to
different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might
be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any
loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period, the
fund had no investments in restricted securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $791,952,211 and $765,502,496, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $583,200,534 and
$480,807,005, 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 and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .49% of
average net assets. Effective August 1, 1996, FMR voluntarily agreed to
reduce the individual fund fee rate from .35% to .30%.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the
period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .26%
of average net assets.
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 $43,109 for the period.
5. 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
$30,281 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used
to offset a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $1,950 and $61,897,
respectively, under these arrangements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Asset Manager: Income:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments (except for Moody's and Standard &
Poor's ratings), and the related statements of operations and of changes in
net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager: Income, (a fund
of Fidelity Charles Street Trust) at September 30, 1996, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Fidelity Asset Manager: Income's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
September 30, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the
application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from
brokers were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first nine
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year. In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. Asset Manager funds are
already diversified because they invest in stocks, bonds and short-term
investments, both in the U.S. and overseas.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total
return includes changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends
(or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells
securities that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
YEAR YEARS FUND
Asset Manager 10.37% 68.54% 145.97%
S&P 500(registered trademark) 20.33% 103.18% 213.19%
Flexible Portfolio Funds Average 12.33% 71.56% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or since the fund
started on December 28, 1988. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would
be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the flexible portfolio funds average, which
reflects the performance of 178 mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. over the past 12 months. Both
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Asset Manager on December 31, 1988, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by September 30, 1996, the value of the
investment would have grown to $24,523 - a 145.23% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over the same
period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $31,207 - a 212.07% increase. You can also look at how the
Fidelity Asset Allocation Composite Index did over the same period. The
composite index combines the total returns of three unmanaged indexes - the
S&P 500 (+212.07%), Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index (+93.84%), and the
Salomon Brothers 3-month T-Bill (+51.58%) - according to the fund's neutral
mix*,
assuming monthly rebalancing. With dividends and interest, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $21,940 - a
119.40% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

AND 30%,
RESPECTIVELY, PRIOR TO JUNE 1, 1992.
MARKET RECAP
The stock market rebounded from a mid-summer downturn caused by confusion
over the direction of interest rates, posting strong returns for the 12
months ended September 30, 1996. U.S. bond markets also recovered from a
downturn earlier in the year that was sparked by fears of rising interest
rates.
STOCKS: The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 20.33% during the period -
above its long-term average of about 12%. The stock market spent much of
the past year breaking price and trading volume records as strong corporate
earnings reports, large cash inflows into mutual funds and widespread
optimism propelled share prices higher. Further, the period was peppered
with several high-profile merger announcements, especially in the media,
telecommunications and technology sectors. While continued confusion over
the direction of interest rates created a volatile backdrop in the summer
months, stocks rallied late in the period when the Federal Reserve Board
left short-term interest rates unchanged, and it appeared inflation would
not be an issue for the remainder of 1996. Smaller-company stocks posted
strong gains at the beginning of 1996, but trended downward in the spring
and summer because they tend to be more affected by the higher borrowing
costs brought on by higher rates. When interest rate fears subsided toward
the end of the period, these stocks again posted strong price gains. The
broad market posted more consistent gains in late summer, while
larger-company stocks took the lead in the spring and climbed to new highs
in September.
BONDS: Bond markets rebounded from sharp sell-offs earlier in 1996, as
investors gained confidence that rising interest rates might not be a
problem in an election year. For the 12 months ended September 30, 1996,
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - a broad measure of U.S. taxable
bonds - returned 4.90%. In January, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its
target for the fed funds rate - the rate banks charge each other on
overnight loans - from 5.50% to 5.25%, but the move largely was already
taken into account by the market. Surprisingly robust employment reports in
March reversed market sentiment, causing the yield on the 30-year Treasury
bond to rise to over 7%, a level not seen in over a year. By June, however,
soothing comments from Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan helped ease the market's
fears of Fed interest rate increases and the 30-year yield dropped back
below 7%. While bonds traded in a narrow range in the summer months -
reflecting confusion over the direction of interest rates - the Fed's
decision to take no action at the end of September, coupled with weaker
than expected employment data, helped ease the market's fears.
Investment-grade mortgage-backed securities performed well relative to
other investment-grade securities. With prepayment fears easing in the face
of a rising mortgage rate environment, the Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index
returned 5.86% during the period.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
An interview with Richard Habermann (center), Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Asset Manager, and George Vanderheiden (left) and Michael Gray,
sub-portfolio managers for stocks and bonds, respectively.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DICK?
D.H. For the year ended September 30, 1996, the fund had a total return of
10.37%. This trailed the flexible portfolio funds average, according to
Lipper Analytical Services, which was 12.33%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND CONTINUE TO LAG?
D.H. I believe the fund's underperformance occurred as a result of our
repositioning of the fund. In the process, we had to absorb some losses in
selling some long-term U.S. Treasury securities and foreign debt. Once this
transition was completed, we found that the fund's newly restructured
portfolio was performing as expected relative to its neutral allocations.
Q. WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THIS REPOSITIONING?
D.H. We positioned most of our fixed-income assets in investment-grade,
dollar-denominated securities. We also shortened the bond portfolio's
duration - or sensitivity to interest rates - to bring it more in line with
the bond market average (as represented by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index). On the equity side, we reduced the fund's exposure to foreign
stocks. In general, we also emphasized large-capitalization stocks whose
dividend yields were slightly higher than that of the market.
Q. WHAT WAS THE FUND'S ASSET MIX AT THE END OF THE PERIOD COMPARED TO SIX
MONTHS AGO?
D.H. The fund had about 46% in stocks, 38% in bonds and 16% in short-term
instruments. Six months ago, the fund was about 48% stocks, 29% bonds and
23% short-term instruments, compared to a neutral mix of 40% stocks, 40%
bonds and 20% short-term instruments. Comparing the fund's asset allocation
at the end of the period to six months ago, the most significant change was
that we increased the fund's weighting in bonds.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME DETAILS ON YOUR ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGY?
D.H. We significantly raised the fund's equity position for much of the
period, then reduced it a bit in September to take advantage of the bond
market. Both in the past spring and this past July, raising the equity
position benefited the fund when investors bid up stock prices after
finding that some negative corporate earnings reports were not indicative
of the state of the overall market. On the bond side, we sold positions in
emerging market debt when these markets were very strong. Additionally, at
certain times during the period, the bond market was spooked by stronger
than expected economic data that was considered to be a signal of
inflation. Bond investors fear inflation because it erodes the value of
fixed-income investments. We bought more investment-grade bonds when their
prices fell and their yields rose in response to the economic data.
Therefore, we were able to lock in higher yields on our new fixed-income
investments. Yields subsequently fell, increasing the value of the
fixed-income securities we had purchased earlier.
Q. SO HOW DID THIS FIT IN WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ASSET SHIFT YOU MADE -
INCREASING THE WEIGHTING IN BONDS?
D.H. The market has spent much of 1996 worried about inflation. However, in
the past few months of the period, economic evidence such as declining
durable goods orders and a weak September employment report suggested that
the economy was, in fact, slowing. With this evidence, it made sense to
highlight bonds.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, GEORGE, WHAT STOCKPICKING STRATEGIES HAVE YOU PURSUED?
G.V. I've sought to minimize the risk in the stock portfolio because I
considered stock market valuations to be high on a historical basis. As a
result, I've pursued two strategies - growth at a reasonable price and
vulture investing. I have always felt the most prudent way to buy growth
stocks is to get as much total return, meaning stock appreciation plus
dividend yield, for as small a price as possible. The price you pay for a
growth stock is reflected in its price-to-earnings ratio, or how many times
earnings the market thinks that stock is worth. To give an example, both
Philip Morris and Coca-Cola are growth stocks, with each having grown its
earnings per share at an 18% growth rate over the past 10 years. Assuming
they can sustain similar growth rates in the future, Philip Morris would
have a higher total return because its dividend yield is 5%, whereas Coke's
is 1%. But look at what the market is paying for each stock's total return.
At the end of the period, Coke was at around $51 and the consensus estimate
for its earnings per share was $1.40 for 1996, thereby producing a
price-to-earnings ratio of 36 times. Philip Morris was at about $90, with a
consensus earnings-per-share estimate of $7.70 for 1996, thereby producing
a price-to-earnings ratio of 12 times. Litigation concerns have been
dragging down Philip Morris' ratio, but litigation worries have been around
for 15 years and this was the biggest gap between Philip Morris' and Coke's
price-to-earnings ratios. This was why I invested in Philip Morris and not
Coca-Cola.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY VULTURE INVESTING?
G.V. Occasionally bad things happen to good stocks. Quality growth stocks
may stumble temporarily due to new product introductions, too much
inventory or manufacturing problems that cause a disappointment in
quarterly earnings. If these are truly temporary occurrences, they can be
wonderful opportunities to buy a stock or sector when prices are down. For
example, in January 1996, Intel stock had dropped to $50 from $75 months
before as concerns developed over its receivables with Packard Bell. Nine
months later the stock had increased substantially. Buying a sector with
good long-term fundamentals after
it has suffered a big decline can mitigate risk and enhance the ultimate
upside gain. It does require patience.
Q. MICHAEL, DICK TALKED ABOUT ADDING INVESTMENT-GRADE SECURITIES. WHERE
HAVE YOU FOUND OPPORTUNITIES?
M.G. I've increased the fund's investments in bonds that offered a yield
advantage over Treasuries - agency issues, mortgage-backed securities and
corporate bonds.
Q. WHAT MADE THE CORPORATE BONDS MORE ATTRACTIVE?
M.G. As Dick said, they were inexpensive earlier in the period. In
addition, for most of the period, the fundamental outlook for corporations
was favorable. That is, business prospects appeared to improve. The best
indicator of a favorable corporate environment has been a strong stock
market. This strength showed that corporations were doing well and that
investors were comfortable with prospects as they drove up stock prices.
Part of that optimism was a function of the economic environment, which has
been fairly positive. Despite the bond market's inflation fears this past
spring, the economy looked like it was growing while inflation remained
under control. Moderate growth with low inflation is a good recipe for
corporations. In addition, there was a limited supply of new corporate
issues, along with fairly strong demand. Many investors were looking for
added yield and there wasn't much to buy in the way of corporate bonds.
This backdrop helped corporate bonds post strong price gains on a relative
basis.
Q. WERE THERE OTHER TYPES OF BONDS THAT WERE ATTRACTIVE TO YOU?
M.G. I was attracted to Yankee bonds. These are dollar-denominated bonds
issued in the U.S. by foreign banks, governments and corporations. They
tend to trade more cheaply than other bonds with similar credit ratings,
and often don't drop in price as quickly as corporate bonds when bad news
affects the issuer.
Q. WHAT KINDS OF MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES DID YOU FAVOR?
M.G. When rates rose earlier in the period, I bought mortgage-backed
securities that were selling at a discount. In general, I sought securities
that I found to be less susceptible to changes in interest rates than other
choices in the mortgage-backed sector. Mortgage-backed securities tend not
to perform well if rates go up or down sharply, so I looked for those whose
structure by nature would make them less sensitive to interest rate
changes. Those securities tended to be in 15-year and 30-year mortgages
that were selling at a discount.
Q. TURNING BACK TO YOU, DICK, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
D.H. I think there is compelling evidence that the economy is slowing. For
stocks, companies have already reported an inability to pass on the higher
costs of this country's tight labor market. Therefore, one has to assume
that it's going to be more difficult for corporate America to post
significant earnings gains. This type of environment will demand an even
more intensive, research-oriented approach that results in very selective
stock picking. In
this regard, our new management structure, which leverages George's 25
years of stock picking experience, could play an important role. As for
fixed-income, a slower economy makes a compelling case for bonds, and
Michael will continue to look for value in the government, mortgage and
corporate sectors of the market.

DICK HABERMANN ON THE FUND'S
MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE:
"I think our new management
structure has been
progressing nicely. In my
opinion, one of the true
strengths of Fidelity has been
strong security selection. This
is only enhanced by the years
of invaluable experience
George Vanderheiden and
Michael Gray bring to the
fund. In addition, overlaying
the security selection process
is a disciplined approach to
asset allocation. George and
Michael are free to overweight
and underweight individual
stocks and bonds, while I can
manage the overall portfolio in
relation to the fund's neutral
mix. The neutral mix makes a
lot of sense because if I'm not
keen on a particular asset
class, I can underweight that
class without being
completely out of the market."

ADDITIONAL INTERVIEW ON POLICY CHANGES
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Beginning on December 1, 1996, Asset Manager's
neutral mix of investments will be changing, and there will be a change in
how bonds and short-term instruments are classified. In the following
additional interview segment, Portfolio Manager Dick Habermann discusses
these changes.
Q. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FUND'S NEUTRAL ALLOCATION PERCENTAGES ARE
CHANGING. CAN YOU EXPLAIN?
A. Yes. Currently, Asset Manager's neutral mix - which represents how the
fund's investments will be allocated, on average, over the long term - is
40% stocks, 40% bonds and 20% short-term instruments. Under a new policy
approved by the fund's Board of Trustees, the neutral mix will be 50%
stocks, 40% bonds and 10% short-term/money market instruments. As always,
this allocation will vary over short-term periods as fund management makes
gradual adjustments to the portfolio's holdings - within defined ranges -
based on the current outlook for the different markets. The neutral mix is
designed to establish a general direction for the fund and communicate the
expected posture of the fund going forward.
Q. WHAT DO THESE CHANGES MEAN?
A. The most significant impact of the changes is a 10% increase in the
fund's equity allocation and a reduction in the fixed-income classes. The
other changes to the bond and short-term positions are mainly a
redefinition of the dividing line of short-term securities and longer-term
bonds.
Q. SO YOU ARE ALSO CHANGING THE DEFINITION OF "SHORT-TERM" FOR THE PURPOSES
OF HOW THE FUND LOOKS AT ITS ALLOCATIONS . . .
A. The short-term asset class in the fund currently includes all bonds and
short-term instruments with maturities of three years or less. Under our
new definition, we will move most securities with one to three years
remaining maturity into the bond class, leaving shorter-term instruments in
a newly named "short-term/money market" class. This class, in general, will
include securities with remaining maturities of 12 months or less and
securities with comparable interest rate sensitivity. In addition to
redefining the bond and short-term class, we also are assigning a manager
to the short-term/money market part of the fund: John Todd, a veteran
manager in our money market fund group who has been with Fidelity since
1981.
Q. WHY ARE YOU MAKING THESE CHANGES?
A. With the changes in the management structure, we thought it was a good
time to reassess the neutral mix based on what we learned since we launched
the first Asset Manager fund in 1988.
One thing we found is that stocks have continued to provide superior
returns relative to both intermediate and long term bonds. At the same
time, the volatility of stocks and bonds by some measures has been
converging. Based on this comparison and other factors we evaluated, we
believe the fund can modestly increase its allocation to equities and thus
its potential return without unduly affecting its volatility.
Shareholders should remember that these allocations simply represent a
neutral mix. Because the fund is actively managed, allocations will change
based on the market environment. The allocation ranges for each asset class
have been modified to accommodate the change in the neutral mix.
Q. AND WHY ARE YOU REDEFINING THE SHORT-TERM CLASS AND ADDING A
SUB-MANAGER?
A. We believe that actively managing the short-term part of the portfolio
more like a money market fund will help to make this category more stable.
Additionally, this redefinition is in line with the way Fidelity looks at
fixed-income asset classes across our funds.
Q. WILL THESE CHANGES HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE LEVEL OF FOREIGN SECURITIES
HELD IN THE FUND?
A. Because part of the fund's goal is to produce high total return over the
long-term through diversification, foreign investments will continue to
play a role in the fund. However, we are more likely to seek investment
opportunities first in domestic markets. For example, foreign holdings were
down to 10% at the end of the period, compared with 19% six months before
that. That said, we have removed the limit on foreign investment in order
to standardize policy with other funds.
Q. HOW WILL YOU BE BRINGING THE FUND IN LINE WITH THE NEW POLICIES?
A. We will be making gradual changes so that at the start of 1997, the
fund's neutral allocation mix and holdings should be where we want them.
Shareholders should keep in mind that we're continually fine-tuning the
fund within its prospectus parameters to achieve the best risk-reward
ratio, so making changes over the next month won't be unusual.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended September 30, 1996
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Asset Manager (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which permit management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the
date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Debt securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as
determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales
prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are
normally traded. Equity securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not
readily available 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.
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. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
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 substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, foreign currency transactions, passive
foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, non-taxable
dividends, and losses deferred due to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions 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 use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
realized gain (loss) is recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain
(loss) is recognized on settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase for U.S. Treasury or Federal
Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
Securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are marked-to-market
daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of
the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets. Buying
futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to increase the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and
writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes
in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid
secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform
under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may invest in indexed securities whose values
are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies,
interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. The
fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to
different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might
be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed
securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any
loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $36,103,000 or
0.3% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $12,660,410,000 and $12,045,001,000, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $7,026,075,000 and
$5,244,567,000, respectively.
4. 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 and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .68% of
average net assets. Effective August 1, 1996, FMR voluntarily agreed to
reduce the individual fund fee rate from .40% to .25%.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the
period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .23%
of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting
records and administers the security lending program. The security lending
fee
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES - CONTINUED
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 $1,476,000 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, the value of the
securities loaned and the value of collateral amounted to $56,168,000 and
$57,866,000, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the period for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $16,857,000 and $13,315,000,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 5.7%.
7. 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
$760,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its transfer
agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
offset a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
transfer agent fees were reduced by $698,000 under this arrangement.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Asset Manager:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments (except for Moody's and Standard &
Poor's ratings), and the related statements of operations and of changes in
net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager (a fund of
Fidelity Charles Street Trust) at September 30, 1996, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Fidelity Asset Manager's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which
included confirmation of securities at September 30, 1996 by correspondence
with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing
procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
