PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

Breaking through 10,000 by the Dow Jones Industrial Average was the
big news in equity markets during March, as that milestone was the
last of six new highs the Dow recorded during the month. Renewed
strength in the energy and cyclical sectors contributed to the rally.
In fixed-income, Treasuries continued to struggle based on the
persistent strength of the economy, as yields on the 30-year benchmark
rose to their highest levels since August of 1998.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

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. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as
reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had
not reimbursed certain fund expenses, life of fund total returns would
have been lower.

</TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on September 13, 1991. For example, if
you had 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 1-5 Year
U.S. Government Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of
government fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and five
years. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the short-intermediate U.S. government
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 98 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the
effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and

returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Short-Intermediate Government Fund on September
30, 1991, shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by March
31, 1999 the value of the investment would have grown to $14,927 - a
49.27% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year U.S. Government Bond Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $16,075 - a 60.75%
increase.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return and yield of a fund that
invests in bonds 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.

periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all
bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over
the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of
the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you
compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

MARKET RECAP

In the midst of troublesome financial
markets overseas, a declining U.S.
stock market and nonexistent
inflationary pressures, investors
flocked to U.S. Treasury bonds in
the later stages of 1998. Three
consecutive interest-rate cuts by the
Federal Reserve Board in the fall of
1998 provided further strength,
especially in government securities.
The financial landscape was quickly
transformed, however, during the
first quarter of 1999 amid strong
economic data, improving global
economies and comments from the
Federal Reserve Board that a
reversal of last fall's three
consecutive interest-rate cuts might
be necessary. Bonds posted
negative returns across most sectors
as the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a widely followed
measure of taxable bond
performance - posted a total
return of -0.16% for the six-month
period that ended March 31, 1999.
While Treasuries moved moderately
higher at the end of the period
following news that the Fed decided
to keep short-term interest rates
unchanged, the benchmark
30-year Treasury experienced one
of its biggest sell-offs in over 20
years as personal spending,
housing starts and Gross Domestic
Product remained stronger than
expected. The Lehman Brothers
Treasury Index had a six-month
return of -1.76% as of March 31,
1999. Corporate and mortgage
bond sectors outperformed
Treasuries of comparable maturities
as the Lehman Brothers Corporate
Bond Index and the Lehman
Brothers Mortgage Securities Index
returned -0.11% and 1.79%,
respectively, during the same
period.

An interview with Andrew Dudley, who became Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Short-Intermediate Government Fund on December 7, 1998

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, ANDY?

A. For the six months that ended March 31, 1999, the fund had a total
return of 0.78%. In comparison, the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year
Government Bond Index returned 0.79% during the same six-month period.
Fund performance compared favorably to the short-intermediate U.S.
government funds average tracked by Lipper Inc., which returned 0.34%.
For the 12-month period that ended March 31, 1999, the fund posted a
total return of 5.29%. The Lehman Brothers index returned 6.38%, while
the short-intermediate U.S. government funds average returned 5.33%
during the same period.

Q. AT THE TIME OF THE LAST REPORT, UNCERTAINTY IN GLOBAL EQUITY
MARKETS AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD'S BIAS TO EASE RATES RESULTED IN
AN EXTREME FLIGHT TO TREASURIES. HOW HAS THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
CHANGED AND HOW DID THIS IMPACT THE FUND?

A. The bond market's perception of global financial markets certainly
reversed course amid stronger-than-expected economic data in the U.S.
and improving overseas markets. Additionally, concerns that the
Federal Reserve Board may change its course toward tightening monetary
policy by increasing rates caused further concern. In response, the
bond market pushed up yields, causing bond prices - which move in the
opposite direction of yields - to decline. While the total return was
slightly positive during the six-month period, increasing bond yields
erased much of the price gains made late last year. Among the
different fixed-income sectors, Treasury securities became the least
favored. The shift in market sentiment was most evident when the
Treasury market experienced one of its biggest sell-offs in over 20
years during the month of February. Fortunately, the fund's
overweighted positions in mortgage securities and government agencies
helped relative performance as each of these sectors outperformed
Treasuries over the last half of the period.

Q. DID ANY OTHER MARKET FACTORS INFLUENCE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?

A. Toward the end of the period, the fund held approximately 65% of
its investments in U.S. government agency obligations. While these
holdings slightly outperformed Treasuries during the six-month period,
absolute performance of government and agency bonds suffered more than
other segments of the fixed-income market as a result of increasing
bond yields, which produced negative price movement. Consequently, as
I mentioned above, declining bond prices erased much of the fund's
return, including much of the monthly income accrued during the last
few months of the period.

Q. WHAT WAS YOUR RATIONALE BEHIND THE FUND'S OVERWEIGHTING IN
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND MORTGAGE SECURITIES?

A. In the early part of the period, when Treasuries performed
exceptionally well, the fund's overweighted positions in mortgage
securities and government agencies hurt performance. However, the fund
remained overweighted in these sectors for a number of reasons. Most
notably, I felt that these sectors were undervalued relative to U.S.
Treasuries in the wake of the massive flight to quality we experienced
last fall.

Q. THIS FUND TRADITIONALLY HAS EMPHASIZED NON-CALLABLE AGENCY
SECURITIES. IS THIS STILL A FOCUS FOR THE FUND?

A. Yes, it is. As in the past, we tended to steer away from callable
agency bonds - those that can be redeemed by their issuers before
maturity - and focused more on non-callable agency issues. While
non-callable securities generally perform better than callable bonds
when interest rates fall - because the issuer can save money by
"calling" in bonds and issuing new securities at lower rates - they
generally fare no worse than callable bonds when interest rates rise.
I also improved the fund's overall liquidity at the margin by moving
some of the funds assets into larger size agency issues - making it
easier to trade large quantities of the fund's holdings. This change
coincides with Fannie Mae's shift toward issuing new bonds in larger
denominations.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, ANDY?

A. Though I don't try to predict the direction of interest rates, I do
think we may be moving into a more stable interest-rate environment
compared to what we experienced last fall. While the U.S. economy
remains stronger than anticipated and the perception exists that
overseas economies are improving, inflation remains in check with the
help of relatively low and stable global commodity prices and
persistent weakness in global demand. In a more stable interest-rate
environment, I'll probably continue to concentrate a majority of the
fund's assets in agency and mortgage securities because they can offer
better total return potential relative to Treasuries.

ANDREW DUDLEY ON INFLATION
AND THE BOND MARKET:

"The bond market's preoccupation
with inflation centers upon the
impact inflation has on interest
rates. If the bond market expects
higher inflation or a deterioration
in the value of money, then bond
investors expect to be paid more
interest for that decline in
purchasing or buying power.
The bond market sells off in the
wake of higher inflation forecasts
because investors fear being stuck
with fixed cash flows that will be
worth less in the future. During a
period of complex and
conflicting global financial
market forecasts, as we experienced
over the last six months, the
market can move very quickly to
adjust for these changes in inflation
expectations."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended March 31, 1999 (Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Fidelity Short-Intermediate Government Fund (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 require
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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
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.

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. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments 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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

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.

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 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.

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 long-term U.S. government and government agency
obligations aggregated $61,475,062 and $60,933,758, 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. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .43% of average net
assets.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED

SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR, on behalf of the fund, has entered into a
sub-advisory agreement(effective January 1, 1999) with Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), a wholly owned subsidiary
of FMR. For its services, FIMM receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (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 annualized rate of .21% 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.

5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

The fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to
reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian fees were reduced by $668 under this arrangement.

6. PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.

The Board of Trustees of the fund has approved an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization ("Agreement") between the fund and Fidelity
Intermediate Government Income Fund ("Reorganization"). The Agreement
provides for the transfer of all of the assets of the fund to Fidelity
Intermediate Government Income Fund in exchange solely for the number
of shares of Fidelity Intermediate Government Income Fund having the
same aggregate net asset value as the outstanding shares of the fund
as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the day
that the Reorganization is effective and the assumption by Fidelity
Intermediate Government Income Fund of all of the liabilities of the
fund. The Reorganization, which has been approved by the vote of a
majority (as defined by the 1940 Act) of outstanding voting securities
of the fund, became effective on April 29, 1999.

PROXY VOTING RESULTS

A special meeting of the fund's shareholders was held on April 14,
1999. The results of votes taken among shareholders on the proposal
before them are listed below. A share voted represents one dollar of
the net asset value of the fund.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

</TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on October 1, 1992. For example, if
you had 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 Aggregate
Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of investment-grade
fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed
and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more.
To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers,
you can compare it to the intermediate investment grade debt funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 275 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Investment Grade Bond Fund on October 1, 1992,
when the fund started. As the chart shows, by March 31, 1999, the
value of the investment would have grown to $16,170 - a 61.70%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
would have grown to $15,475 - a 54.75% increase.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in bonds
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.

If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of
$10.38 over the past one month, $10.51 over the past six months and
$10.49 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over
these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula
for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund,
averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the
periods shown, the yield would have been 5.67%.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

MARKET RECAP

(photograph of Kevin Grant)

An interview with Kevin Grant, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Investment
Grade Bond Fund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, KEVIN?

A. For the six-month period that ended March 31, 1999, the fund had a
total return of 0.66%. In comparison, the intermediate investment
grade debt funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned -0.45%. The
fund also outpaced the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which
returned -0.16% during the same period. For the 12 months that ended
March 31, 1999, the fund produced a 6.76% return, while the Lipper
average and Lehman Brothers index returned 5.15% and 6.49%,
respectively.

Q. THE FUND PERFORMED WELL AGAINST ITS PEERS. TO WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE
THIS SUCCESS?

A. One key to our success was that, unlike the competition, the fund
did not have much exposure to Asia and to cyclicals during the
downturn of the late summer. Another factor is that a number of
competitors engaged in market timing strategies. Over the past six
months, it became clearly evident how easy it was to get burned taking
this approach. We don't market-time because we feel that it is simply
impossible to predict the market's direction; there is just far too
much short-term noise to grapple with. In the fall, those who bought
Treasuries when yields were at their lowest, and prices at their
highest, suffered during the reversal later in the period.

Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S SOUND PERFORMANCE RELATIVE
TO ITS BENCHMARK?

A. Essentially, we've been in the right place over the past six
months. The key was not panicking last fall. At the time, we were set
up for a serious downturn in all but Treasuries. We knew that
corporates and mortgages were expensive, so we remained conservative
in our posture and were overweighted in both asset classes relative to
Treasuries. The majority of the tilt was toward short-term corporates,
as they tend to offer a yield advantage over Treasuries without a lot
of incremental price risk. This strategy protected the fund. Those
corporates we did own were defensive - cable companies and telephone
utilities - which were hurt as well in the fall, but not as much as
the paper companies or investment-grade Asian corporate bonds, which
are components of the index. Late in the period, the corporate bond
market rallied. The telecommunications sector, for instance, not only
made back all of the underperformance of the early fall, but returned
even more. The market had a veritable love affair with telecom and
media companies, but remained bearish on cyclicals. These factors,
together with the recovery in the mortgage market due to a slowdown in
prepayment activity, proved beneficial for the fund.

Q. WHAT INVESTMENTS HURT PERFORMANCE?

A. As spreads widened at the beginning of the six-month period, I
should have shifted to a below-normal position in corporate bonds and
mortgages. That hurt performance, although staying the course did help
later in the period. Within corporates, I should have owned more
energy securities over the last two months of the period. The fear
with the oil industry was that higher-rated companies with a lot of
cash, those which we would like to own, would likely look to buy
companies that we were most afraid of with the least cash on their
books. This situation drove the credit quality of the higher-rated
company down. So, even though the energy sector was cheap, and a good
place to put some money, event risk simply rendered the securities
untouchable in our eyes.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?

A. I am optimistic. Overall, it's an ideal environment for investing
in bonds. From an interest-rate perspective, I don't foresee any
significant moves one way or the other on the horizon. I think we're
set up for an environment where the spread sectors - mortgages,
corporates and the like - will outperform Treasuries over the next six
months. My feeling is that the corporate market still has a lot of
value in specific sectors. The mortgage market should also be a good
sector to own for a while. I may look to add mortgages if we see a
short-term drop in prices. I expect corporate cash flows to remain
strong in the coming months. The market is conditioned to expect
little or no inflation. Although the possibility of Fed tightening
exists, it is difficult to see recession in our immediate future. I
think the bond market is in for a reasonably stable period for the
next six to 12 months.

KEVIN GRANT ON NAVIGATING
THROUGH SEAS OF MARKET
TURBULENCE:

"In times of uncertainty, bondholders
need to take a hard look at their
investment objectives. I suggest
bondholders take a long-term view.
It is true that over short periods of
time, corporate bonds and mortgage
securities can underperform
Treasuries. However, over the
long-term, the yield advantage of
corporates and mortgages usually
wins. It is important to remember
that yield takes a year or two to
create value. So, if you're really
concerned about safety and
high-quality instruments, you
should most likely be in a
government money market fund.
This approach, however, is not what
investing is all about - it's about
the longer term. If you have a two-
to three-year time horizon, you
probably don't want to own
Treasuries. There are so many other
more attractive options available in
the marketplace. You must,
however, be comfortable with the
fact that random things do happen
and that, over short periods of
time, your return may fall short of
expectations. But performance is
likely to recover, and then some,
just by giving yield some time to
work for you. I think you need to
look at your portfolio as a basket of
investments, not as a series of
trades."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended March 31, 1999 (Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Spartan Investment Grade Bond Fund (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, 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 require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:

INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, 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, market
discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash
sales, futures and excise tax regulations. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax
purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -
CONTINUED

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.

DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell
securities on a delayed delivery 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. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies
securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value at
least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to
changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the
counterparty does not perform under the contract.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,221,853,000 and $1,158,065,000, respectively, of which
U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated
$839,602,000 and $841,908,000, respectively.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all
expenses, except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and
certain exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at
an annual rate of 0.60% of the fund's average net assets.

SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR, on behalf of the fund, has entered into a
sub-advisory agreement (effective January 1, 1999) with Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), a wholly owned subsidiary
of FMR. For its services, FIMM receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect.

5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of 0.50% of average net assets.
Effective January 1, 1999, the expense limitation was changed from
0.38% to 0.50% of average net assets. For the period, the
reimbursement reduced expenses by $989,000.

In addition, FMR has entered into arrangements on behalf of the fund
with the fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized
as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion
of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's expenses were
reduced by $3,000 under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

</TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on October 1, 1992. For example, if
you had 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 1-3 Year
Government/Corporate Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of
government and investment grade corporate fixed-rate debt issues with
maturities between one and three years. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
short investment grade debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 110 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Short-Term Bond Fund on October 31, 1992, shortly
after the fund started. As the chart shows, by March 31, 1999, the
value of the investment would have grown to $13,901 - a 39.01%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Corporate Bond Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 would have grown to $14,343 - a 43.43% increase.

(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in bonds
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.

If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.02
over the past one month, $9.05 over the past six months and $9.05 over
the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three
periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all
bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over
the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of
the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you
compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

MARKET RECAP

(photograph of Andrew Dudley)

An interview with Andrew Dudley, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Short-Term Bond Fund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, ANDY?

A. For the six months that ended March 31, 1999, the fund had a total
return of 1.78%. In comparison, the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year
Government/Corporate Bond Index returned 1.52% during the same period.
Fund performance also compared favorably to the short investment grade
debt funds average, which returned 1.34%, according to Lipper Inc. For
the 12-month period that ended March 31, 1999, the fund posted a total
return of 5.91%. The Lehman Brothers index returned 6.19%, while the
short investment grade debt funds average returned 5.13% during the
same period.

Q. THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE, UNCERTAINTY IN GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS AND
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD'S BIAS TO EASE RATES RESULTED IN AN EXTREME
FLIGHT TO TREASURIES. HOW HAS THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT CHANGED AND HOW
DID THIS IMPACT THE FUND?

A. The bond market's perception of global financial markets reversed
course amid stronger-than-expected economic data in the U.S. and
improving overseas markets. Additionally, concerns that the Fed may
change its policy course toward tightening money supply by increasing
rates caused further concern. In response, the bond market pushed up
yields, causing bond prices - which move in the opposite direction of
yields - to decline. While returns were positive during the period,
increasing bond yields erased much of the gains made late last year.
Among the different fixed-income sectors, Treasuries became the least
favored. The Treasury market experienced one of its biggest sell-offs
in over 20 years during the month of February. Nevertheless, the
fund's overweighted positions in corporate bonds, as well as
asset-backed and mortgage securities, compared to the benchmark index
helped relative performance during the six-month period.

Q. DID ANY OTHER MARKET FACTORS INFLUENCE PERFORMANCE?

A. Another key factor was the strong rebound in stocks and the
stronger-than-expected earnings reports from the corporate market.
This environment boosted interest in new corporate issues as investors
gobbled up a relatively large supply of new bonds. More recently, the
increase in yield levels served to reduce the pace of new issuance,
particularly with bonds of shorter maturities - because bonds are more
expensive to finance at higher interest rates. This has led to further
support of a positive supply and demand environment.

Q. HOW WERE THE FUND'S ASSETS ALLOCATED, AND CAN YOU TELL US A BIT
MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE SECTORS?

A. Corporate bonds and asset-backed securities - which are bonds
backed by a pool of loans such as credit cards, for example -
accounted for approximately 62% of the fund's investments at the end
of the period. Within these holdings, corporate bonds accounted for
roughly 44% of the fund's investments and posted the largest comeback
in over 10 years from their lows of early October 1998. In the first
quarter of 1999, absolute returns were hampered across most bond
sectors by rising interest rates. In addition, relative performance
was helped by the overweighted positions in asset-backed securities,
which outperformed Treasuries. As the market reversed course from the
massive flight to quality we saw early in the period, mortgage
securities, which represented approximately 17% of the fund's
investments, also outperformed Treasuries during the period.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, ANDY?

A. While I don't predict the direction of interest rates, I do think
we may be moving into a more stable interest-rate environment compared
to what we experienced last fall. Though the U.S. economy was stronger
than anticipated and the perception exists that overseas economies are
improving and stable, inflation remains in check with the help of
relatively low global commodity prices and persistent weakness in
global demand. In a more stable interest-rate environment, I'll
continue to concentrate a majority of the fund's assets in corporate
and mortgage securities because they can offer better total return
potential relative to government bonds.

ANDREW DUDLEY ON INFLATION
AND THE BOND MARKET:

"The bond market's preoccupation
with inflation centers upon the
impact inflation has on interest
rates. If the bond market expects
higher inflation, or a deterioration
in the value of money, then bond
investors expect to be paid more
interest for that decline in
purchasing or buying power. The
bond market sells off in the wake
of higher inflation forecasts
because investors fear being stuck
with fixed cash flows that will be
worth less in the future. During a
period of complex and conflicting
global financial market forecasts,
much like we experienced over
the last six months, the market
can move very quickly to adjust for
these changes in inflation
expectations."

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On
December 17, 1998, the Board of
Trustees of Spartan Short-Term
Bond Fund voted to present a
proposal to shareholders to merge

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended March 31, 1999 (Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

Spartan Short-Term Bond Fund (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 require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:

INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned.

EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Distributions in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may include
temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year
end is distributed in the following year.

6. PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.

The Board of Trustees of the fund has approved an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization ("Agreement") between the fund and Fidelity
Short-Term Bond Fund ("Reorganization"). The Agreement provides for
the transfer of all of the assets of the fund to Fidelity Short-Term
Bond Fund in exchange solely for the number of shares of Fidelity
Short-Term Bond Fund having the same aggregate net asset value as the
outstanding shares of the fund as of the close of business of the New
York Stock Exchange on the day that the Reorganization is effective
and the assumption by Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund of all of the
liabilities of the fund. The Reorganization can be consummated only
if, among other things, it is approved by the vote of a majority (as
defined by the 1940 Act) of outstanding voting securities of the fund.
A Special Meeting of Shareholders ("Meeting") of the fund will be held
on June 16, 1999 to vote on the Agreement. A detailed description of
the proposed transaction and voting information was sent to
shareholders of the fund in April, 1999. If the Agreement is approved
at the Meeting, the Reorganization is expected to become effective on
or about June 24, 1999.
