THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES THE SECOND PARAGRAPH UNDER THE
HEADING "ASSET ALLOCATION" FOUND IN THE "INVESTMENT POLICIES AND
LIMITATIONS" SECTION ON PAGE 5.

The bond class includes all varieties of domestic and foreign
fixed-income securities maturing in more than one year. FMR will seek
to maximize total return within the bond class by adjusting a fund's
investments in securities with different credit qualities, maturities,
and coupon or dividend rates, and by seeking to take advantage of
yield differentials between securities. Securities in this class may
include bonds, notes, adjustable-rate preferred stocks, convertible
bonds, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, domestic and
foreign government and government agency securities, zero coupon
bonds, and other intermediate and long-term securities. These
securities may be denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currency. The
funds may also invest in lower quality, high-yielding debt securities
(commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). Asset Manager and Asset
Manager: Growth currently intend to limit their investments in these
securities to less than 35% of their assets. Asset Manager: Income
currently intends to limit its investment in these securities to 10%
of its assets.
