SUPPLEMENT TO THE FIDELITY ASSET MANAGER FUNDS' NOVEMBER 27, 1996
PROSPECTUS
The following information replaces similar information found in "The
Funds in Detail" beginning on page 11.
Charles Morrison is manager of each fund's fixed-income investments, which
he has managed since February 1997. He also manages several other Fidelity
funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1987, Mr. Morrison has worked as an
analyst and manager.
The following information replaces similar information found in "Key Facts"
beginning on page 3.
STRATEGY: The funds diversify across stocks, bonds and short-term and money
market instruments, both here and abroad, to pursue specific goals. Each
fund has a neutral mix which represents the way the fund's investments will
generally be allocated over the long term. This mix will vary over
short-term periods as fund management gradually adjusts the fund's holdings
- - within defined ranges - based on the current outlook for the different
markets.
The following information replaces similar information found in "Key Facts"
beginning on page 3.
Asset allocation funds are designed for investors who want to diversify
among domestic and foreign stocks, bonds and short-term and money market
instruments and other types of securities, in one fund. If you are looking
for a fund that can invest in a wide range of security types within defined
ranges, one of the Asset Manager funds may be appropriate for you.
Because each fund owns different types of investments, its performance is
affected by a variety of factors. The value of each fund's investments and
the income they generate will vary from day to day, and generally reflect
interest rates, market conditions, and other company, political and
economic news. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks in
addition to those of U.S. investments, including increased political and
economic risk, as well as exposure to currency fluctuations. Performance
also depends on FMR's skill in allocating assets. When you sell your fund
shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following information replaces similar information found in "The Funds
in Detail" beginning on page 11.
Each fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its
assets among stocks, bonds and short-term and money market instruments and
other instruments of U.S. and foreign issuers. Each fund however, has a
different objective and pursues its objective by investing within different
asset allocation ranges.
ASSET MANAGER: INCOME seeks a high level of current income. The fund also
considers the potential for capital appreciation.
ASSET MANAGER seeks high total return with reduced risk over the long term.
ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH seeks to maximize total return over the long term.
Each fund allocates its assets among the following classes, or types, of
investments. The STOCK CLASS includes equity securities of all types. The
BOND CLASS includes all varieties of fixed-income securities maturing in
more than one year. The SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET CLASS includes all types of
short-term and money market instruments. FMR may use its judgment to place
a security in the most appropriate class based on its investment
characteristics. Fixed-income securities may be classified in the bond or
short-term/money market class according to interest rate sensitivity as
well as maturity. The funds may also make other investments that do not
fall within these classes.
FMR has the ability to allocate each fund's assets within specified ranges.
Each fund's NEUTRAL MIX represents the benchmark for its combination of
investments in each asset class over time. FMR may change the neutral mix
from time to time. The range and approximate neutral mix for each asset
class are shown below.
ASSET MANAGER: INCOME
Range Neutral mix
STOCK CLASS 10 - 30% 20%
BOND CLASS 40 - 60% 50%
SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET CLASS 10 - 50% 30%
Asset Manager: Income's approach focuses on short-term and money market
instruments and bonds for current income. However, its ability to invest a
portion of its assets in stocks offers the opportunity for capital
appreciation, and potentially more volatility, than other income-oriented
funds.
ASSET MANAGER
Range Neutral mix
STOCK CLASS 30 - 70% 50%
BOND CLASS 20 - 60% 40%
SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET CLASS 0 - 50% 10%
Asset Manager's approach spreads the fund's assets among all three classes,
moderating both the risk and return potential of stocks, bonds and
short-term and money market instruments.
ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH
Range Neutral mix
STOCK CLASS 50 - 100% 70%
BOND CLASS 0 - 50% 25%
SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET CLASS 0 - 50% 5%
Asset Manager: Growth's more aggressive approach focuses on stocks for high
potential returns. However, because the fund can invest in bonds and
short-term and money market instruments, its return may not be as high as a
fund that invests only in stocks.

FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00
from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual
maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will
be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened
after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will not be
deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except
non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment
plans, or if total assets in Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the
$30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or
which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $2,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your
account is closed.

UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
As economic conditions
change, different types of
investments do better than
others. While Asset Manager:
Income usually invests in
stocks, bonds and short-term
and money market
instruments, its emphasis is in
bonds and short-term and
money market instruments.
The fund's performance tends
to be related to changes in
short-term interest rates, but
will also reflect the
performance of the other
investments in its mix during
the time period.
