SUPPLEMENT TO THE FIDELITY INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUNDS - CLASS I
MAY 29, 1998
PROSPECTUS
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION. The Board of Trustees of Rated Money Market
Portfolio has unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization ("Agreement") between Rated Money Market Portfolio and
Domestic Portfolio, a fund of Colchester Street Trust.
The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets and the
assumption of all of the liabilities of Rated Money Market Portfolio
solely in exchange for an identical number of shares of the
corresponding class of Domestic Portfolio. Following such exchange,
Rated Money Market Portfolio will distribute such shares pro rata to
the corresponding class in liquidation of Rated Money Market Portfolio
as provided in the Agreement (the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement referred to as the "Reorganization").
The Reorganization can be consummated only if, among other things, it
is approved by a majority vote of shareholders. A Special Meeting (the
"Meeting") of the Shareholders of Rated Money Market Portfolio will be
held on December 16, 1998, and approval of the Agreement will be voted
on at that time. In connection with the Meeting, Rated Money Market
Portfolio will be filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and delivering to its shareholders of record a Proxy Statement
describing the Reorganization and a Prospectus for Domestic Portfolio.
If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting and certain conditions
required by the Agreement are satisfied, the Reorganization is
expected to become effective on or about January 21, 1999. If
shareholder approval of the Agreement is delayed due to failure to
meet a quorum or otherwise, the Reorganization will become effective,
if approved, as soon as practicable thereafter.
In the event Rated Money Market Portfolio shareholders fail to approve
the Agreement, Rated Money Market Portfolio will continue to engage in
business as a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees
will consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of
the Fund.
Effective October 19, 1998, Rated Money Market Portfolio will be
closed to new accounts pending the Reorganization.
The following information replaces similar information found in
"Investment Principles and Risks" beginning on page 15.
TREASURY PORTFOLIO seeks to earn a high level of current income while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price by investing in high-quality,
short-term securities. The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury
securities and repurchase agreements for these securities. The fund
does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The fund currently
intends to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or
less.
GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO seeks to earn a high level of current income
while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term securities. The fund invests only in U.S.
Government securities and repurchase agreements for these securities.
The fund also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The fund
currently intends to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60
days or less.
DOMESTIC PORTFOLIO seeks to earn a high level of current income while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price by investing in high-quality,
short-term securities. The fund invests only in the highest-quality
U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities of domestic issuers
rated in the highest rating category by at least two nationally
recognized rating services, U.S. Government securities and repurchase
agreements. The fund also may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements. The fund currently intends to maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 60 days or less.
RATED MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO seeks to earn a high level of current
income while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term securities. The fund invests only in U.S.
dollar-denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign
issuers rated in the highest rating category by at least two
nationally recognized rating services, U.S. Government securities, and
repurchase agreements. The fund will not purchase any securities of
foreign issuers that mature beyond January 21, 1999, the anticipated
effective date of the Proposed Reorganization. The fund also may enter
into reverse repurchase agreements. The fund currently intends to
maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less.
The following information supplements information found in "Investment
Principles and Risks" beginning on page 15.
THE FUNDS comply with industry-standard requirements for the quality,
maturity, and diversification of their investments, which are designed
to help maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Of course, there is no
guarantee that the funds will maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The
funds will purchase only high-quality securities that FMR believes
present minimal credit risks and will observe maturity restrictions on
securities they buy. In general, securities with longer maturities are
more vulnerable to price changes, although they may provide higher
yields. It is possible that a major change in interest rates or a
default on the funds' investments could cause their share prices (and
the value of your investment) to change.

investments for the fund. The fund invests in municipal money market
securities rated in the highest category by at least one nationally
recognized rating service and in one of the two highest categories by
another rating service if rated by more than one, or, if unrated,
determined to be of equivalent quality to the highest rating category
by FMR. FMR normally invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of
the fund's income distributions is free from federal income tax. The
fund does not currently intend to purchase municipal securities whose
interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
