PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one
can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
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. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
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.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR EQUITY INCOME FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE

There are several ways to evaluate 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 includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells investments that
have grown in value). You can also look at income to measure performance.
Initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 10, 1992. Class
A shares bear a .65% 12b-1 fee that is not reflected in returns prior to
that date. Returns prior to that date are those of Institutional Class, the
original class of the fund. Had Class A's 12b-1 fee been reflected, prior
returns would have been lower.

Average Equity Income Fund 13.83% 12.27% 62.28% 196.83%

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10
years. 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 Class A's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the average equity income fund, which reflects the
performance of 129 funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services over the past six months. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of
sales charges.

performed at a constant rate each year.

$10,000 OVER TEN YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Advisor
Equity Income Fund - Class A on May 31, 1985, and paid the maximum 4.75%
sales charge. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $32,587 - a 225.87% increase on your 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 $39,051 - a 290.51% 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.

ADVISOR EQUITY INCOME FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE

There are several ways to evaluate 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 includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells investments that
have grown in value). You can also look at income to measure performance.
Initial offering of Class B shares took place on June 30, 1994. Class B
shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1/shareholder service fee. This fee is not
reflected in returns prior to that date. Returns between September 10, 1992
and June 30, 1994 are those of Class A, and reflect Class A's .65% 12b-1
fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those of Institutional Class,
the original class of the fund. Had Class B's 12b-1 fee been reflected,
prior returns would have been lower. Class B's contingent deferred sales
charges included in the past 6 months, past 1 year, past 5 years and past
10 years total return figures are 4%, 4%, 1% and 0%, respectively.

$10,000 OVER TEN YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Advisor
Equity Income Fund - Class B on May 31, 1985. As the chart shows, by May
31, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $34,116 - a
241.16% increase on your 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 $39,051 - a 290.51% 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

An interview with Bettina Doulton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Equity Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND DO, BETTINA?
A. For the six months ended May 31, 1995, Fidelity Advisor Equity Income
Fund - Class A had a total return of 14.77%, while Fidelity Advisor Equity
Income Fund - Class B returned 14.52%. During the same period, the average
equity income fund rose 13.83%, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
For the 12 months ended May 31, Class A returned 20.07%, Class B rose
19.74%, and the average fund was up 12.27%.
Q. THE STOCK MARKET SHOWED A RENEWED VIGOR OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. WHAT
HELPED THE FUND OUTPACE ITS PEER GROUP AVERAGE?
A. The market's strength was driven by investors' belief that the Federal
Reserve Board would manage the economy to a soft landing - steady, albeit
slower, economic growth and continued low inflation. If achieved, those
conditions are ideal for Corporate America to sustain strong profit growth.
Excluding the consistently outstanding performance of the technology and
financial sectors, the market has been characterized by rapid industry
rotation. Investors have spent the past six months racing from one industry
to the next, trying to stay one step ahead of the crowd. Sometimes, the
fund was in the right place at the right time, and sometimes it wasn't.
What helped the fund most was strong performance by its largest
investments, which crossed a variety of sectors.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME EXAMPLES?
A. Sure. The fund's four largest stocks at the end of the period added
substantially to its total return. Philip Morris' stock has been rewarded
for the company's strong profit growth and free cash flow; both are
attributable to terrific results in the company's domestic and
international tobacco businesses, which more than offset mediocre results
in its food division. IBM was another strong performer. The company has
done an excellent job cutting costs and cleaning up its balance sheet. In
addition, global economic growth and wide acceptance of the company's new
products have contributed to accelerating revenue growth. Meanwhile,
American Express has continued to benefit from its massive restructuring
effort begun a few years ago. The company has a much better focus on its
core products and services, which has led to gradually stronger earnings
and stock performance. As for the Federal National Mortgage Association
(Fannie Mae), its stock price suffered a significant setback last fall, but
has since recovered as conditions in the secondary mortgage market have
turned more favorable. Fannie Mae's stock price has risen from roughly $72
a share to about $93 a share during the first five months of 1995.
Q. YOU MENTIONED HOW QUICKLY VARIOUS MARKET SECTORS FELL IN AND OUT OF
FAVOR. WERE THERE ANY THAT EXCELLED OVERALL?
A. Many of the fund's energy stocks - which made up roughly 10% of the fund
on May 31 - did well. More specifically, the energy service stocks.
Industry-wide cost cutting, as reflected by companies such as Schlumberger
and Halliburton, combined with what appears to be improving worldwide
supply/demand dynamics for oil, have lifted these stocks. However,
elsewhere in the energy sector, British Petroleum (BP) and Amerada Hess
have been somewhat disappointing in terms of stock performance. Both are
restructuring stories; BP's stock may just be taking a breather after
making significant gains over the past couple years, while Amerada Hess'
turnaround may be just taking a bit longer than investors had expected.
Q. YOU MORE THAN DOUBLED THE FUND'S STAKE IN FINANCIAL STOCKS; THEY WENT
FROM 7.4% OF THE FUND SIX MONTHS AGO TO 15.3% ON MAY 31 . . .
A. Recent purchases of bank stocks made up most of that increase. Along
with the diversified financial services companies such as American Express
and Fannie Mae, banks had a strong, if volatile, run. My only regret is not
owning more of them early in the period, when they began to outperform.
Prices did fall in the spring, however, which allowed me to buy stocks such
as Chemical Banking and BankAmerica off their highs. The banking group then
had another upward surge in May. In the coming months, I expect the market
to drive bank stock valuations - prices relative to earnings - higher.
That's because earnings are becoming more consistent, the industry is
consolidating, and companies are using excess capital to repurchase shares
of their own stocks.
Q. AS FAR AS THE ECONOMY IS CONCERNED, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT A SOFT LANDING
IS IMMINENT? IF SO, WHY HAVE YOU REDUCED THE FUND'S INVESTMENT IN BASIC
INDUSTRIES STOCKS - MOST OF WHICH ARE CYCLICAL AND DO WELL WHEN THE ECONOMY
DOES WELL - FROM 12% SIX MONTHS AGO TO ABOUT 8% ON MAY 31?
A. We've already seen solid evidence that the economy has slowed quite
dramatically. However, predicting whether this slowdown will end in a
recession or a soft landing is incredibly difficult. A lot will depend upon
the extent to which the Federal Reserve Board reacts to what's happening; a
lowering of short-term interest rates could help prolong the economic
recovery. In this environment, I'm even more focused on stock selection -
investing in companies that can show positive earnings growth despite a
slowdown. While my concern about the slowing economy did lead me to reduce
the fund's stake in commodity cyclicals - for example, paper and chemical
companies - its investments in banks and several industrial companies keep
it somewhat economically sensitive.
Q. WHAT DOES THIS ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY MEAN FOR THE FUND OVER THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS?
A. When interest rates fall, as they've done over the past few months, the
market usually rewards stocks with higher valuations. However, we have to
keep in mind that the economy has slowed, which could negatively affect
corporate earnings going forward. The 64-thousand-dollar question then
becomes: Will the market's willingness to drive up valuations be enough to
offset the negative effects of potential earnings disappointments? I'm
afraid not. Companies that report less-than-expected earnings growth in the
coming months will most likely pay dearly with falling stock prices. These
are the bullets that will be critical to dodge. I have to focus intensely
on owning high-quality companies that are improving their balance sheets
while growing earnings.

BETTINA DOULTON ON INVESTING
IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING MARKET:
"I read a quote the other day
that said `the really big money
is made when one identifies a
fundamental change in the
market and the point of
market recognition.' That
implies that I need to position
the fund for impending
changes in the market
before the rest of the world
recognizes those changes.
However, forecasting what
the economy, interest rates
and inflation will look like six
months from now is a very
tough call. That has made for
a difficult investing
environment. The stock
market is so concerned with
making the right call on the
economy and corporate
earnings that sectors are
flying in and out of favor as
investors try to figure out the
right place to be. Generally, I
have more of a bottom-up
focus. If I can successfully
find companies primed for
earnings growth whose
stocks are selling at
reasonable valuations, the
stock prices should eventually
take care of themselves."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Income Fund (the fund) (formerly Fidelity Advisor
Equity Portfolio Income Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series III (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 fund offers Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class shares, each of
which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has
exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. The fund
commenced sale of Class B shares on June 30, 1994. Investment income,
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and the common expenses
of the fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each
class of shares differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent,
registration, and certain other class-specific fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or 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 maturing within sixty days of their purchase date 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income 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 dividends are
declared separately for each class, while capital gain distributions are
declared at the fund level and allocated to each class on a prorata basis
based on the number of shares held by each class 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 foreign
currency transactions, partnerships, non-taxable dividends and losses
deferred due to wash sales. 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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.
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, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $515,971,856 and $210,915,056, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $19,540,485 and
$15,139,845, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .50% of the fund's average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with respect to
the fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan") and Class B shares ("Class B
Plan"), pursuant to which the fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation
(FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and service fee. This fee is
based on annual rates of .65% and 1.00% (of which .75% represents a
distribution fee and .25% represents a shareholder service fee) of the
average net assets of the Class A and Class B shares, respectively. For the
period, the fund paid FDC $942,695 and $347,234 under the Class A Plan and
Class B Plan, respectively, of which $718,768 and $86,808 were paid to
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of Class A and Class B shares, and providing shareholder
support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plans
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale of the
fund's shares or render shareholder support services. No payments were made
under the Plans during the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $3,870,683 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which
$3,233,140 was paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions. FDC also receives the proceeds of a contingent deferred sales
charge levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within five years of
purchase. The charge is based on declining rates which range from 4% to 1%
of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested dividends
and capital gains. For the period, FDC received contingent deferred sales
charges of $33,535 on Class B share redemptions from the fund. When Class B
shares are sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to dealers
through which the sales are made.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) is
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A shares, while Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR (collectively, with State Street,
referred to as the Transfer Agents) acts in that capacity for the fund's
Class B and Institutional Class shares. During the period December 1, 1994
to December 31, 1994, the Transfer Agents received fees based on the type,
size, number of accounts and the number of transactions made by
shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. Effective January 1,
1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised transfer agent contract
pursuant to which the Transfer Agents receive account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the
shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. With respect to the
Class A shares, State Street has delegated certain transfer, dividend
paying, and shareholder services to FIIOC for which FIIOC receives its
allocable share of all such fees. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC, an affiliate of FMR, 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 $253,828 for the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions.
5. BANK BORROWINGS - CONTINUED
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 periods for which loans were outstanding amounted to
$5,410,000. The weighted average interest rate was 6.44%.
6. 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
$39,592 under this arrangement.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for three classes were as follows:

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one, five,
or 10 years. 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 Institutional Class' returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks - a common proxy for the
U.S. stock market. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the average equity income fund,
which reflects the performance of 129 funds with similar objectives tracked
by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. Both benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the
effects of sales charges.

$100,000 OVER TEN YEARS: Let's say you invested $100,000 in Fidelity
Advisor Equity Income Fund - Institutional Class on May 31, 1985. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown
to $349,692 - a 249.69% increase on your initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With
dividends reinvested, the same $100,000 investment would have grown to
$390,506 - a 290.51% 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW

An interview with Bettina Doulton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Equity-Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND DO, BETTINA?
A. For the six months ended May 31, 1995, Fidelity Advisor Equity Income
Fund -Institutional Class had a total return of 15.23%. During the same
period, the average equity income fund rose 13.83%, according to Lipper
Analytical Services. For the 12 months ended May 31, Institutional Class
returned 21.12%, and the average fund was up 12.27%.
Q. THE STOCK MARKET SHOWED A RENEWED VIGOR OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. WHAT
HELPED THE FUND OUTPACE ITS PEER GROUP AVERAGE?
A. The market's strength was driven by investors' belief that the Federal
Reserve Board would manage the economy to a soft landing - steady, albeit
slower, economic growth and continued low inflation. If achieved, those
conditions are ideal for Corporate America to sustain strong profit growth.
Excluding the consistently outstanding performance of the technology and
financial sectors, the market has been characterized by rapid industry
rotation. Investors have spent the past six months racing from one industry
to the next, trying to stay one step ahead of the crowd. Sometimes, the
fund was in the right place at the right time, and sometimes it wasn't.
What helped the fund most was strong performance by its largest
investments, which crossed a variety of sectors.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME EXAMPLES?
A. Sure. The fund's four largest stocks at the end of the period added
substantially to its total return. Philip Morris' stock has been rewarded
for the company's strong profit growth and free cash flow; both are
attributable to terrific results in the company's domestic and
international tobacco businesses, which more than offset mediocre results
in its food division. IBM was another strong performer. The company has
done an excellent job cutting costs and cleaning up its balance sheet. In
addition, global economic growth and wide acceptance of the company's new
products have contributed to accelerating revenue growth. Meanwhile,
American Express has continued to benefit from its massive restructuring
effort begun a few years ago. The company has a much better focus on its
core products and services, which has led to gradually stronger earnings
and stock performance. As for the Federal National Mortgage Association
(Fannie Mae), its stock price suffered a significant setback last fall, but
has since recovered as conditions in the secondary mortgage market have
turned more favorable. Fannie Mae's stock price has risen from roughly $72
a share to about $93 a share during the first five months of 1995.
Q. YOU MENTIONED HOW QUICKLY VARIOUS MARKET SECTORS FELL IN AND OUT OF
FAVOR. WERE THERE ANY THAT EXCELLED OVERALL?
A. Many of the fund's energy stocks - which made up roughly 10% of the fund
on May 31 - did well. More specifically, the energy service stocks.
Industry-wide cost cutting, as reflected by companies such as Schlumberger
and Halliburton, combined with what appears to be improving worldwide
supply/demand dynamics for oil, have lifted these stocks. However,
elsewhere in the energy sector, British Petroleum (BP) and Amerada Hess
have been somewhat disappointing in terms of stock performance. Both are
restructuring stories; BP's stock may just be taking a breather after
making significant gains over the past couple years, while Amerada Hess'
turnaround may be just taking a bit longer than investors had expected.
Q. YOU MORE THAN DOUBLED THE FUND'S STAKE IN FINANCIAL STOCKS; THEY WENT
FROM 7.4% OF THE FUND SIX MONTHS AGO TO 15.3% ON MAY 31 . . .
A. Recent purchases of bank stocks made up most of that increase. Along
with the diversified financial services companies such as American Express
and Fannie Mae, banks had a strong, if volatile, run. My only regret is not
owning more of them early in the period, when they began to outperform.
Prices did fall in the spring, however, which allowed me to buy stocks such
as Chemical Banking and BankAmerica off their highs. The banking group then
had another upward surge in May. In the coming months, I expect the market
to drive bank stock valuations - prices relative to earnings - higher.
That's because earnings are becoming more consistent, the industry is
consolidating, and companies are using excess capital to repurchase shares
of their own stocks.
Q. AS FAR AS THE ECONOMY IS CONCERNED, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT A SOFT LANDING
IS IMMINENT? IF SO, WHY HAVE YOU REDUCED THE FUND'S INVESTMENT IN BASIC
INDUSTRIES STOCKS - MOST OF WHICH ARE CYCLICAL AND DO WELL WHEN THE ECONOMY
DOES WELL - FROM 12% SIX MONTHS AGO TO ABOUT 8% ON MAY 31?
A. We've already seen solid evidence that the economy has slowed quite
dramatically. However, predicting whether this slowdown will end in a
recession or a soft landing is incredibly difficult. A lot will depend upon
the extent to which the Federal Reserve Board reacts to what's happening; a
lowering of short-term interest rates could help prolong the economic
recovery. In this environment, I'm even more focused on stock selection -
investing in companies that can show positive earnings growth despite a
slowdown. While my concern about the slowing economy did lead me to reduce
the fund's stake in commodity cyclicals - for example, paper and chemical
companies - its investments in banks and several industrial companies keep
it somewhat economically sensitive.
Q. WHAT DOES THIS ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY MEAN FOR THE FUND OVER THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS?
A. When interest rates fall, as they've done over the past few months, the
market usually rewards stocks with higher valuations. However, we have to
keep in mind that the economy has slowed, which could negatively affect
corporate earnings going forward. The 64-thousand-dollar question then
becomes: Will the market's willingness to drive up valuations be enough to
offset the negative effects of potential earnings disappointments? I'm
afraid not. Companies that report less-than-expected earnings growth in the
coming months will most likely pay dearly with falling stock prices. These
are the bullets that will be critical to dodge. I have to focus intensely
on owning high-quality companies that are improving their balance sheets
while growing earnings.

BETTINA DOULTON ON INVESTING
IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING MARKET:
"I read a quote the other day
that said `the really big money
is made when one identifies a
fundamental change in the
market and the point of
market recognition.' That
implies that I need to position
the fund for impending
changes in the market
before the rest of the world
recognizes those changes.
However, forecasting what
the economy, interest rates
and inflation will look like six
months from now is a very
tough call. That has made for
a difficult investing
environment. The stock
market is so concerned with
making the right call on the
economy and corporate
earnings that sectors are
flying in and out of favor as
investors try to figure out the
right place to be. Generally, I
have more of a bottom-up
focus. If I can successfully
find companies primed for
earnings growth whose
stocks are selling at
reasonable valuations, the
stock prices should eventually
take care of themselves."
