KEY FACTS
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Each fund offers investors a convenient way to invest in
professionally managed portfolios of money market instruments.
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund are designed for investors who would like
to earn current income while preserving the value of their investment.
Tax-Exempt Fund is designed for investors who would like to earn
federally tax-exempt income at current money market rates while
preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
Each fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. Treasury
Fund offers an added measure of safety with its focus on U.S. Treasury
securities.
These funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan. However,
because they emphasize stability, they could be well-suited for a
portion of your investments. Daily Money Class offers free
checkwriting to give you easy access to your money.
Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a
fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio. Each
fund offers Daily Money Class shares and Capital Reserves Class
shares. Treasury Fund also offers Advisor B Class (Class B) shares and
Advisor C Class (Class C) shares. Daily Money Class and Capital
Reserves Class shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 12b-1
fee. Class B and Class C shares do not have a front-end sales charge,
but do have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), and pay a 12b-1
fee. Class B and Class C shares may be purchased directly only in
connection with the Fidelity Advisor Systematic Exchange Program (the
Program) for purposes of exchanging into Class B or Class C shares, as
applicable, of the Fidelity Advisor funds. You may obtain more
information about Capital Reserves Class shares, Class B shares and
Class C shares, which are not offered through this prospectus, from
your investment professional or by calling Fidelity Client Services at
1-800-843-3001.
The performance of one class of shares of a fund may be different from
the performance of another class of shares of the same fund because of
different sales charges and class expenses. Contact your investment
professional to discuss which class is appropriate for you.
In determining which class of shares is appropriate for you, you
should consider, among other factors, the amount you plan to invest,
the length of time you intend to hold your shares, and the package of
services provided to you by your investment professional and the
overall costs of those services.
In general, Daily Money Class shares have lower costs than Capital
Reserves Class, Class B and Class C shares because Daily Money Class
shares do not have a sales charge and have lower 12b-1 fees. Class B
shares have higher costs than Class C shares over a short holding
period because Class B shares have a higher CDSC that declines over
six years, and Class B shares have lower costs than Class C shares
over a longer period because Class B shares convert to Daily Money
Class shares after a maximum of seven years. If you sell your
Class B shares within six years, you will normally pay a CDSC that
varies depending on how long you have held your shares. If you sell
your Class C shares within one year, you will normally pay a 1.00%
CDSC. Class C shares do not convert to another class of shares. Please
note that purchase amounts of more than $250,000 will not be accepted
for Class B shares and purchase amounts of more than $1,000,000
generally will not be accepted for Class C shares.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy
or sell Daily Money Class shares of a fund.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C>
SALES CHARGE ON PURCHASES AND REINVESTED DISTRIBUTIONS NONE
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ON REDEMPTIONS NONE
</TABLE>
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
fund pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR). Each fund also incurs other expenses for services such as
maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements
and financial reports.
12b-1 fees are paid by Daily Money Class of each fund to the
distributor for services and expenses in connection with the
distribution of Daily Money Class shares of each fund.
Each class's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends
and are not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown
of Expenses" on page ).
The following figures are based on historical expenses ,
adjusted to reflect current fees, of Daily Money Class of each fund
and are calculated as a percentage of average net assets of Daily
Money Class of each fund.
PRIME FUND
MANAGEMENT FEE 0.25%
12B-1 FEE (DISTRIBUTION FEE) 0.25%
OTHER EXPENSES (AFTER REIMBURSEMENT) 0.15%
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES 0.65%
TREASURY FUND
MANAGEMENT FEE 0.25%
12B-1 FEE (DISTRIBUTION FEE) 0.25%
OTHER EXPENSES (AFTER REIMBURSEMENT) 0.15%
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES 0.65%
TAX-EXEMPT FUND
MANAGEMENT FEE 0.25%
12B-1 FEE (DISTRIBUTION FEE) 0.25%
OTHER EXPENSES (AFTER REIMBURSEMENT) 0.15%
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES 0.65%
EXPENSE TABLE EXAMPLE: You would pay the following amount in total
expenses on a $1,000 investment in Daily Money Class shares of a fund,
assuming a 5% annual return and full redemption at the end of each
time period. Total expenses shown below include any shareholder
transaction expenses and Daily Money Class's annual operating
expenses.
1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS
PRIME FUND $ 7 $ 21 $ 36 $ 81
TREASURY FUND $ 7 $ 21 $ 36 $ 81
TAX-EXEMPT FUND $ 7 $ 21 $ 36 $ 81
THESE EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATE THE EFFECT OF EXPENSES, BUT ARE NOT MEANT TO
SUGGEST ACTUAL OR EXPECTED EXPENSES OR RETURNS, ALL OF WHICH MAY VARY.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Daily Money Class of each fund
to the extent that total operating expenses (as a percentage of its
respective average net assets) exceed 0.65% of its average net assets.
If these agreements were not in effect, the other expenses and total
operating expenses, as a percentage of average net assets, of Daily
Money Class of each fund would have been 0.25% and 0.75 % for
Prime Fund, 0.24% and 0.74 % for Treasury Fund and 0.28% and
0.78 % for Tax-Exempt Fund. Expenses eligible for reimbursement do
not include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses.

PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or
YIELD.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated
period of time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate
of return that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same
cumulative total return if performance had been constant over the
entire period. Average annual total returns smooth out variations in
performance; they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a
yield assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an
EFFECTIVE YIELD.
A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have to earn
before taxes to equal a tax-free yield.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a
money market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market
funds maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields
are the most common illustration of money market fund performance.
The funds' performance and holdings are detailed twice a year in
financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For current
performance call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal. Each fund is a
diversified fund of Newbury Street Trust, an open-end management
investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on December
30, 1991.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the
funds' activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that
provide services to the funds, and review the funds' performance. The
trustees serve as trustees for other Fidelity funds. The majority of
trustees are not otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY
MATERIALS. These meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees,
change fundamental policies, approve a management contract, or for
other purposes. Shareholders not attending these meetings are
encouraged to vote by proxy. The transfer agent will mail proxy
materials in advance, including a voting card and information about
the proposals to be voted on. The number of votes you are entitled to
is based upon the dollar value of your investment.
Separate votes are taken by each class of shares, fund, or trust, if a
matter affects just that class of shares, fund, or trust,
respectively.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business
address at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It
includes a number of different subsidiaries and divisions which
provide a variety of financial services and products. The funds employ
various Fidelity companies to perform activities required for their
operation.
The funds are managed by FMR, which handles their business affairs.
FMR Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of October 31, 1997, FMR advised funds having approximately
33 million shareholder accounts with a total value of more than
$ 510 billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services.
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC)
performs transfer agent servicing functions for Daily Money Class
shares of Prime Fund and Treasury Fund. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
transfer agent for Tax-Exempt Fund and is located at 1010 Grand
Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. UMB employs FIIOC to perform transfer
agent servicing functions for Daily Money Class shares of Tax-Exempt
Fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FMR Texas. Members
of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a
class of shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the
voting power of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the 1940 Act), control of a company is presumed where one individual
or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company; therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940
Act to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
PRIME FUND seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
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 also may
enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
TREASURY FUND seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase
agreements for these securities. The fund does not enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
TAX-EXEMPT FUND seeks to provide as high a level of current income,
exempt from federal income taxes, as is consistent with a portfolio of
high quality, short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis
of liquidity and stability of principal.
The fund invests in high-quality municipal money market securities of
all types , including longer-term securities with features that
modify their maturity, price characteristics or quality so that they
are eligible investments for the fund . FMR normally
invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of the
fund's income distributions is exempt from federal income tax. The
fund does not currently intend to purchase municipal securities whose
interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR normally invests Tax-Exempt Fund's assets according to its
investment strategy and does not expect to invest in federally taxable
obligations. Tax-Exempt Fund also reserves the right to hold a
substantial amount of uninvested cash or to invest more than normally
permitted in federally taxable obligations for temporary, defensive
purposes.
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.
The funds earn income at current money market rates. They stress
preservation of capital, liquidity, and income (tax-free income in the
case of Tax-Exempt Fund) and do not seek the higher yields or capital
appreciation that more aggressive investments may provide. Each fund's
yield will vary from day to day and generally reflects current
short-term interest rates and other market conditions.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in
this section. A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more
detailed information about each fund's investments are contained in
the funds' SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's
investment objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund
achieve its goal. Fund holdings are detailed in each fund's financial
reports, which are sent to shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI
or financial report, call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001
or your investment professional.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term instruments
issued by the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions,
municipalities, local and state governments, and other entities. These
securities may carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. Some
money market securities employ a trust or similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets so
that they are eligible investments for money market funds. If the
structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, notes, and bonds. U.S.
Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt
instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency
or instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government
securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States. For example, U.S. Government securities such as those issued
by Fannie Mae are supported by the instrumentality's right to borrow
money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances. Other U.S.
Government securities, such as those issued by the Federal Farm Credit
Banks Funding Corporation, are supported only by the credit of the
entity that issued them.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
or private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities.
They may be fully or partially backed by the local government, or by
the credit of a private issuer or the current or anticipated revenues
from specific projects or assets. Because many municipal securities
are issued to finance similar types of projects, especially those
relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and
utilities, the municipal markets can be affected by conditions in
those sectors. In addition, all municipal securities may be affected
by uncertainties regarding their tax status, legislative changes, or
rights of municipal securities holders. A municipal security may be
owned directly or through a participation interest.
CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various forms of
credit and liquidity enhancement, including letters of credit,
guarantees, puts and demand features, and insurance, provided by
foreign or domestic entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. These arrangements expose a fund to the credit risk of
the entity providing the credit or liquidity support. Changes in the
credit quality of the provider could affect the value of the security
and a fund's share price.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Securities issued by foreign entities, including
foreign governments, corporations, and banks, and securities issued by
U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve
additional risks and considerations. Likewise, securities for which
foreign entities provide credit or liquidity support may involve
different risks than those supported by domestic entities. Extensive
public information about the foreign entity may not be available, and
unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments in the
foreign country involved could affect the repayment of principal or
payment of interest.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages,
loans, receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest
may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets
backing the securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a
benchmark rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed
to help stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of
a debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are
similar to those of other money market securities, although stripped
securities may be more volatile. U.S. Treasury securities that have
been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the
U.S. Treasury.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a
security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the
agreement defaults or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to
another party in return for cash. This could increase the risk of
fluctuation in the fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire
land, equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making
payments or transfers its obligations to a private entity, the
obligation could lose value or become taxable.
OTHER MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may include obligations of U.S. territories
and possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and
their political subdivisions and public corporations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the
issuer or another party. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may
accept a lower interest rate. The credit quality of the investment may
be affected by the creditworthiness of the put provider. Demand
features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For
example, industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and
resource recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The
viability of a project or tax incentives could affect the value and
credit quality of these securities.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined
by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at
an acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities, and some
other securities, may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in
selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more
than 10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS are trading
practices in which payment and delivery for the security take place at
a later date than is customary for that type of security. The market
value of the security could change during this period.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services
industry are subject to various risks related to that industry, such
as government regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on
loans, including loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests
substantially in this industry, its performance may be affected by
conditions affecting the industry.
RESTRICTIONS: Prime Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets
in the financial services industry.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund may invest in money market securities, in
repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to
funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to
seek a high level of current income (exempt from federal income tax in
the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable
$1.00 share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on
the money market fund's investments could cause its share price to
change.
RESTRICTIONS: Tax-Exempt Fund will not invest in a money market fund
and does not currently intend to invest in repurchase agreements.
Treasury Fund and Prime Fund do not currently intend to invest in a
money market fund.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry
or type of project. Economic, business, or political changes can
affect all securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: Prime Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in any one issuer, except that it may invest up to 25% of its
total assets in the highest quality securities of a single issuer for
up to three business days.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt Fund may not
purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets
would be invested in the securities of a single issuer.
These limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities or to
securities of other investment companies.
Tax-Exempt Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in
tax-free securities that finance similar types of projects.
BORROWING. A fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make additional
investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: Prime Fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, or engage in reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an
amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets. Each of Treasury Fund and
Tax-Exempt Fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING. A fund may lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a
fund's total assets. Treasury Fund and Tax-Exempt Fund do not lend
money to other funds advised by FMR.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages
are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder
approval. The following paragraphs restate all those that are
fundamental. All policies stated throughout this prospectus, other
than those identified in the following paragraphs, can be changed
without shareholder approval.
Prime Fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
Treasury Fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as
is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
Tax-Exempt Fund seeks to provide individual and institutional
investors with as high a level of current income, exempt from federal
income taxes, as is consistent with a portfolio of high quality,
short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis of liquidity
and stability of principal. The fund normally invests so that at least
80% of its income distributions is free from federal income tax.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt Fund may not
purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets
would be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government Securities or to
securities of other investment companies.
Prime Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in the
financial services industry.
Prime Fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, or
engage in reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount
exceeding 331/3% of its total assets. Tax-Exempt Fund may borrow only
for temporary or emergency purposes, but not in an amount exceeding
331/3% of its total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a fund's total
assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of each class's assets are reflected in
that class's share price or dividends; they are neither billed
directly to shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments
and business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who
provides assistance with these services. Each fund also pays OTHER
EXPENSES, which are explained on page and .
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. Each
fund pays a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net
assets. Prior to May 31, 1997, each fund's management fee was equal
to an annual rate of 0.50% of the applicable fund's average net
assets. The total management fee rate for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1997 was 0.39% for Prime Fund, 0.41% for Treasury Fund and
0.39% for Tax-Exempt Fund.
FMR Texas is the funds' sub-advisor and has primary responsibility for
managing their investments. FMR is responsible for providing other
management services. FMR pays FMR Texas 50% of its management fee
(before expense reimbursements) for FMR Texas's services. FMR paid FMR
Texas fees equal to 0.13 % of Prime Fund's, 0.12 % of
Treasury Fund's and 0.12 % of Tax-Exempt Fund's average net
assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 , but after
payments made by FMR pursuant to the funds' Distribution and Service
Plans in effect prior to May 31, 1997.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of each fund's
annual operating costs, the funds have other expenses as well.
FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder
servicing functions for Daily Money Class of Prime Fund and Treasury
Fund (the Taxable Funds). Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC)
calculates the net asset value per share (NAV) and dividends for Daily
Money Class of each Taxable Fund and maintains the general accounting
records for each Taxable Fund.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, transfer agency and
pricing and bookkeeping fees paid (as a percentage of average net
assets) amounted to the following. These amounts are before expense
reductions, if any.

entered into a sub-agreement with FIIOC. FIIOC performs transfer
agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing functions for
Daily Money Class of Tax-Exempt Fund. UMB has also entered into a
sub-agreement with FSC. FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for Daily
Money Class of Tax-Exempt Fund and maintains the general accounting
records for Tax-Exempt Fund. Under the terms of the sub-agreements,
FIIOC and FSC receive all related fees paid to UMB by Daily Money
Class of Tax-Exempt Fund.

Each fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and
custodian fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the
compensation of trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity.
Daily Money Class of each fund has adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE
PLAN. Under the plans, Daily Money Class of each fund is authorized to
pay FDC a monthly distribution fee as compensation for its services
and expenses in connection with the distribution of Daily Money Class
shares. Daily Money Class of each fund currently pays FDC a monthly
distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets
throughout the month.
FDC may compensate intermediaries that provide shareholder support
services or engage in the sale of Daily Money Class shares
or pay distribution expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25%
of average net assets maintained. Intermediaries that maintain an
aggregate balance of at least $50,000 in Daily Money Class shares are
eligible for compensation.
The Daily Money Class plans specifically recognize that FMR may make
payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other
resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with the
distribution of Daily Money Class shares, including payments made to
intermediaries that provide shareholder support services or engage in
the sale of Daily Money Class shares. Currently, the Board of Trustees
of each fund has authorized such payments to intermediaries at an
annual rate of up to 0.10% of the average net assets they maintain.
Independent of the Daily Money Class plans, intermediaries that
maintain an average balance of $10 million or more in a single omnibus
account may receive an additional recordkeeping fee of up to 0.15% of
the average net assets they maintain. The recordkeeping fee will be
paid by FMR or its affiliates, not by the fund, and will not be paid
for distribution services.

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income
and capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends
are declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and
are normally distributed on the first business day of the following
month. Based on prior approval of each fund, dividends relating to
Daily Money Class shares redeemed during the month can be distributed
on the day of redemption. Each fund reserves the right to limit this
service
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you
want to receive your distributions. Daily Money Class offers two
options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions,
if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the
same class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your
application, you will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital
gain distributions, if any.
For retirement accounts, all distributions are automatically
reinvested. When you are over 59 years old, you can receive
distributions in cash.
Dividends will be reinvested at Daily Money Clas s's NAV on the
last day of the month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be
reinvested at the NAV as of the record date of the distribution. The
mailing of distribution checks will begin within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in the
funds could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that Tax-Exempt Fund earns is
distributed to shareholders as income dividends. Interest that is
federally tax-free remains tax-free when it is distributed.
Distributions from Prime Fund and Treasury Fund, however, are subject
to federal income tax and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
If you live outside the United States, your distributions from these
funds could also be taxed by the country in which you reside.
For federal tax purposes, income and short-term capital gains from
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund are distributed as dividends and
taxed as ordinary income; capital gain distributions, if any,
are taxed as long-term capital gains.
However, for shareholders of Tax-Exempt Fund, gain on the sale of
tax-free bonds results in taxable distributions. Short-term capital
gains and a portion of the gain on bonds purchased at a discount
are distributed as dividend s and taxed as ordinary income;
capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as long-term capital
gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally
free from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may
limit this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase
agreements and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the
benefit. In addition, some states may impose intangible property
taxes. You should consult your own tax adviser for details and
up-to-date information on the tax laws in your state.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, 0.95 % of Prime
Fund's and 23.35 % of Treasury Fund's income distributions were
derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally
exempt from state income tax.
Distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in
cash or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and
paid in January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
Every January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing
t he tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the
previous year.
A portion of Tax-Exempt Fund's dividends may be free from state or
local taxes. Income from investments in your state are often tax-free
to you. Each year, the transfer agent will send you a breakdown of
Tax-Exempt Fund's income from each state to help you calculate your
taxes.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, 100 % of
Tax-Exempt Fund's income dividends was free from federal income tax.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements,
a fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND S ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. FSC normally calculates Daily
Money Class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally
4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Daily Money
Class of each fund is computed by adding Daily Money Class's pro rata
share of the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting Daily Money Class's pro rata share of the value of the
fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to Daily
Money Class, and dividing the result by the number of Daily Money
Class shares of that fund that are outstanding. Each fund values its
portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost. This method
minimizes the effect of changes in a security's market value and helps
each fund maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require a fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONICALLY.
Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from
unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security
procedure s designed to verify the identity of the investor .
Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other
information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted
through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet
browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of
your confirmation statements immediately after receipt. If you
do not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call
Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be
required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during
periods of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by
mail.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a
period of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any
specific purchase order, including certain purchases by exchange. See
"Exchange Restrictions" on page . Purchase orders may be refused if,
in FMR's opinion, they would disrupt management of a fund.

Fidelity Client Services in advance of large transactions.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased

connection with a wire order that is placed by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
for Prime Fund and Treasury Fund or by 12:00 noon Eastern time for
Tax-Exempt Fund, earn dividends through the day prior to the day of
redemption.
(small solid bullet) Daily Money Class shares redeemed in
connection with all other orders earn dividends through the day of
redemption; however, shares redeemed on a Friday or prior to a holiday

qualified recipients who support the sale of shares of the funds
without reimbursement from the funds. Qualified recipients are
securities dealers who have sold fund shares or others, including
banks and other financial institutions, under special arrangements in

KEY FACTS
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Each fund offers investors a convenient way to invest in
professionally managed portfolios of money market instruments.
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund are designed for investors who would like
to earn current income while preserving the value of their investment.
Tax-Exempt Fund is designed for investors who would like to earn
federally tax-exempt income at current money market rates while
preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
Each fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. Treasury
Fund offers an added measure of safety with its focus on U.S. Treasury
securities.
These funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan. However,
because they emphasize stability, they could be well-suited for a
portion of your investments . Capital Reserves Class offers free
checkwriting to give you easy access to your money.
Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a
fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio. Each
fund offers Daily Money Class shares and Capital Reserves Class
shares. Treasury Fund also offers Advisor B Class (Class B) shares and
Advisor C Class (Class C) shares. Daily Money Class and Capital
Reserves Class shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 12b-1
fee. Class B and Class C shares do not have a front-end sales charge,
but do have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), and pay a 12b-1
fee. Class B and Class C shares may be purchased directly only in
connection with the Fidelity Advisor Systematic Exchange Program (the
Program) for purposes of exchanging into Class B or Class C shares, as
applicable, of the Fidelity Advisor funds. You may obtain more
information about Daily Money Class shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which are not offered through this prospectus, from your
investment professional or by calling Fidelity Client Services at
1-800-843-3001.
The performance of one class of shares of a fund may be different from
the performance of another class of shares of the same fund because of
different sales charges and class expenses. Contact your investment
professional to discuss which class is appropriate for you.
In determining which class of shares is appropriate for you, you
should consider, among other factors, the amount you plan to invest,
the length of time you intend to hold your shares, and the package of
services provided to you by your investment professional and the
overall costs of those services.
In general, Daily Money Class shares have lower costs than Capital
Reserves Class, Class B and Class C shares because Daily Money Class
shares do not have a sales charge and have lower 12b-1 fees. Class B
shares have higher costs than Class C shares over a short holding
period because Class B shares have a higher CDSC that declines over
six years, and Class B shares have lower costs than Class C shares
over a longer period because Class B shares convert to Daily Money
Class shares after a maximum of seven years. If you sell your
Class B shares within six years, you will normally pay a CDSC that
varies depending on how long you have held your shares. If you sell
your Class C shares within one year, you will normally pay a 1.00%
CDSC. Class C shares do not convert to another class of shares. Please
note that purchase amounts of more than $250,000 will not be accepted
for Class B shares and purchase amounts of more than $1,000,000
generally will not be accepted for Class C shares.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy
or sell Capital Reserves Class shares of a fund.
SALES CHARGE ON PURCHASES AND NONE
REINVESTED DISTRIBUTIONS
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ON REDEMPTIONS NONE
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
fund pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR). Each fund also incurs other expenses for services such as
maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements
and financial reports.
12b-1 fees are paid by the Capital Reserves Class of each fund to the
distributor for services and expenses in connection with the
distribution of C apital Reserves Class shares of each fund.
Long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of
the maximum sales charges permitted by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., due to 12b-1 fees.
Capital Reserve s Class's expenses are factored into its share
price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses" on page ).
The following figures are based on estimated expenses , adjusted to
reflect current fees, of Capital Reserves Class of each fund and
are calculated as a percentage of average net assets of Capital
Reserves Class of each fund.
PRIME FUND
MANAGEMENT FEE 0.25 %
12B-1 FEE (DISTRIBUTION FEE) 0.50 %
OTHER EXPENSES (AFTER REIMBURSEMENT) 0.15 %
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES 0.90 %

EXPENSE TABLE EXAMPLE: You would pay the following amount in total
expenses on a $1,000 investment in Capital Reserves Class shares of a
fund, assuming a 5% annual return and full redemption at the end of
each time period. Total expenses shown below include any shareholder
transaction expenses and Capital Reserves Class's estimated annual
operating expenses.

PRIME FUND $ 9 $ 29
TREASURY FUND $ 9 $ 29
TAX-EXEMPT FUND $ 9 $ 29
THESE EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATE THE EFFECT OF EXPENSES, BUT ARE NOT MEANT TO
SUGGEST ACTUAL OR EXPECTED EXPENSES OR RETURNS, ALL OF WHICH MAY VARY.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Capital Reserves Class of
each fund to the extent that total operating expenses (as a percentage
of its respective average net assets) exceed 0.90%. If these
agreements were not in effect, the other expenses and total operating
expenses, as a percentage of average net assets, of Capital Reserves
Class of each fund would have been 0.25% and 1.00% for Treasury Fund;
0.30% and 1.05% for Prime Fund; and 0.29% and 1.04% for Tax-Exempt
Fund. Expenses eligible for reimbursement do not include interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses.

PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or
YIELD.
Performance history will be available for the Capital Reserves Class
of each fund after the class has been in operation for six months.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated
period of time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate
of return that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same
cumulative total return if performance had been constant over the
entire period. Average annual total returns smooth out variations in
performance; they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a
yield assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an
EFFECTIVE YIELD.
A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have to earn
before taxes to equal a tax-free yield.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a
money market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market
funds maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields
are the most common illustration of money market fund performance.
The funds' performance and holdings are detailed twice a year in
financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For current
performance call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal. Each fund is a
diversified fund of Newbury Street Trust, an open-end management
investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on December
30, 1991.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the
funds' activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that
provide services to the funds, and review the funds' performance. The
trustees serve as trustees for other Fidelity funds. The majority of
trustees are not otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY
MATERIALS. These meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees,
change fundamental policies, approve a management contract, or for
other purposes. Shareholders not attending these meetings are
encouraged to vote by proxy. The transfer agent will mail proxy
materials in advance, including a voting card and information about
the proposals to be voted on. The number of votes you are entitled to
is based upon the dollar value of your investment.

FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business
address at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It
includes a number of different subsidiaries and divisions which
provide a variety of financial services and products. The funds employ
various Fidelity companies to perform activities required for their
operation.
The funds are managed by FMR, which handles their business affairs.
FMR Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of October 31, 1997, FMR advised funds having approximately
33 million shareholder accounts with a total value of more than
$ 510 billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services.
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC)
performs transfer agent servicing functions for Capital Reserves Class
shares of Prime Fund and Treasury Fund. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
transfer agent for Tax-Exempt Fund, and is located at 1010 Grand
Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. UMB employs FIIOC to perform transfer
agent servicing functions for Capital Reserves Class shares of
Tax-Exempt Fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FMR Texas. Members
of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a
class of shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the
voting power of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the 1940 Act), control of a company is presumed where one individual
or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company; therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940
Act to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
PRIME FUND seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
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 also may
enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
TREASURY FUND seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase
agreements for these securities. The fund does not enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
TAX-EXEMPT FUND seeks to provide as high a level of current income,
exempt from federal income taxes, as is consistent with a portfolio of
high quality, short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis
of liquidity and stability of principal.
The fund invests in high-quality municipal money market securities of
all types , including longer-term securities with features that
modify their maturity, price characteristics or quality so that they
are eligible investments for the fund . FMR normally
invests the fund's assets so that at least 80% of the
fund's income distributions is exempt from federal income tax. The
fund does not currently intend to purchase municipal securities whose
interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR normally invests Tax-Exempt Fund's assets according to its
investment strategy and does not expect to invest in federally taxable
obligations. Tax-Exempt Fund also reserves the right to hold a
substantial amount of uninvested cash or to invest more than normally
permitted in federally taxable obligations for temporary, defensive
purposes.
The f und s 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.
The funds earn income at current money market rates. They
stress preservation of capital, liquidity, and income (tax-free income
in the case of Tax-Exempt Fund) and do not seek the higher yields or
capital appreciation that more aggressive investments may provide.
Each fund's yield will vary from day to day and generally reflects
current short-term interest rates and other market conditions.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in
this section. A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more
detailed information about each fund's investments are contained in
the funds' SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's
investment objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund
achieve its goal. Fund holdings are detailed in each fund's financial
reports, which are sent to shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI
or financial report, call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001
or your investment professional.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term instruments
issued by the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions,
municipalities, local and state governments, and other entities. These
securities may carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. Some
money market securities employ a trust or similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets so
that they are eligible investments for money market funds. If the
structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, notes, and bonds. U.S.
Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt
instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency
or instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government
securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States. For example, U.S. Government securities such as those issued
by Fannie Mae are supported by the instrumentality's right to borrow
money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances. Other U.S.
Government securities, such as those issued by the Federal Farm Credit
Banks Funding Corporation, are supported only by the credit of the
entity that issued them.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
or private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities.
They may be fully or partially backed by the local government, or by
the credit of a private issuer or the current or anticipated revenues
from specific projects or assets. Because many municipal securities
are issued to finance similar types of projects, especially those
relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and
utilities, the municipal markets can be affected by conditions in
those sectors. In addition, all municipal securities may be affected
by uncertainties regarding their tax status, legislative changes, or
rights of municipal securities holders. A municipal security may be
owned directly or through a participation interest.
CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various forms of
credit and liquidity enhancement, including letters of credit,
guarantees, puts and demand features, and insurance, provided by
foreign or domestic entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. These arrangements expose a fund to the credit risk of
the entity providing the credit or liquidity support. Changes in the
credit quality of the provider could affect the value of the security
and a fund's share price.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Securities issued by foreign entities, including
foreign governments, corporations, and banks, and securities issued by
U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve
additional risks and considerations. Likewise, securities for which
foreign entities provide credit or liquidity support may involve
different risks than those supported by domestic entities. Extensive
public information about the foreign entity may not be available, and
unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments in the
foreign country involved could affect the repayment of principal or
payment of interest.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages,
loans, receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest
may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets
backing the securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a
benchmark rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed
to help stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of
a debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are
similar to those of other money market securities, although stripped
securities may be more volatile. U.S. Treasury securities that have
been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the
U.S. Treasury.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a
security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the
agreement defaults or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to
another party in return for cash. This could increase the risk of
fluctuation in the fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire
land, equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making
payments or transfers its obligations to a private entity, the
obligation could lose value or become taxable.
OTHER MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may include obligations of U.S. territories
and possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and
their political subdivisions and public corporations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the
issuer or another party. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may
accept a lower interest rate. The credit quality of the investment may
be affected by the creditworthiness of the put provider. Demand
features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For
example, industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and
resource recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The
viability of a project or tax incentives could affect the value and
credit quality of these securities.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined
by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at
an acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities, and some
other securities, may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in
selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more
than 10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS are trading
practices in which payment and delivery for the security take place at
a later date than is customary for that type of security. The market
value of the security could change during this period.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services
industry are subject to various risks related to that industry, such
as government regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on
loans, including loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests
substantially in this industry, its performance may be affected by
conditions affecting the industry.
RESTRICTIONS: Prime Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets
in the financial services industry.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund may invest in money market securities, in
repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to
funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to
seek a high level of current income (exempt from federal income tax in
the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable
$1.00 share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on
the money market fund's investments could cause its share price to
change.
RESTRICTIONS: Tax-Exempt Fund will not invest in a money market fund
and does not not currently intend to invest in repurchase agreements.
Treasury Fund and Prime Fund do not currently intend to invest in a
money market fund.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry
or type of project. Economic, business, or political changes can
affect all securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: Prime Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in any one issuer, except that the fund may invest up to 25% of
its total assets in the highest quality securities of a single issuer
for up to three business days.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt Fund may not
purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets
would be invested in the securities of a single issuer.
These limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities or to
securities of other investment companies.
Tax-Exempt Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in
tax-free securities that finance similar types of projects.
BORROWING. A fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make additional
investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: Prime Fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, or engage in reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an
amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets. Each of Treasury Fund and
Tax-Exempt Fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING . A fund may lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a
fund's total assets. Treasury Fund and Tax-Exempt Fund do not lend
money to other funds advised by FMR.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages
are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder
approval. The following paragraphs restate all those that are
fundamental. All policies stated throughout this prospectus, other

short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis of liquidity
and stability of principal. The fund normally invests so that at least
80% of its income distributions is free from federal income tax.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt Fund may not
purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets
would be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government Securities or to
securities of other investment companies.
Prime Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in the
financial services industry.
Prime Fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, or

BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of each class's assets are reflected in
that class's share price or dividends; they are neither billed
directly to shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments
and business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who
provides assistance with these services. Each fund also pays OTHER
EXPENSES, which are explained on page .
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. Each
fund pays a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net
assets. Prior to May 31, 1997, each fund's management fee was equal
to an annual rate of 0.50% of the applicable fund's average net
assets. The total management fee rate for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1997, was 0.39% for Prime Fund, 0.41% for Treasury Fund
and 0.39% for Tax-Exempt Fund.
FMR Texas is the funds' sub-advisor and has primary responsibility for
managing their investments. FMR is responsible for providing other
management services. FMR pays FMR Texas 50% of its management fee
(before expense reimbursements) for FMR Texas's services. FMR paid FMR
Texas fees equal to 0.13 % of Prime Fund's, 0.12 % of
Treasury Fund's and 0.12 % of Tax-Exempt Fund's average net
assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, but after payments
made by FMR pursuant to the funds' Distribution and Service Plans in
effect prior to May 31, 1997.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of each fund's
annual operating costs, the funds have other expenses as well.

following:
(small solid bullet) Account statements
(small solid bullet) Financial reports (every six months)
To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and
prospectuses will be mailed, even if you have more than one account in
a fund. Call Fidelity Client Services if you need additional copies of
financial reports, prospectuses or historical account information.
SUB-ACCOUNTING AND SPECIAL SERVICES. Special processing has been
arranged with Fidelity for institutions that wish to open multiple
accounts (a master account and sub-accounts). You may be required to
enter into a separate agreement with FIIOC. Charges for these
services, if any, will be determined based on the level of services to
be rendered.
One easy way to pursue your financial goals is to invest money
regularly. The fund offers a convenient service that lets you transfer
money between fund accounts automatically. While regular investment
plans do not guarantee a profit and will not protect against loss in a
declining market, they can be an excellent way to invest for
retirement, a home, educational expenses, and other long-term
financial goals. Certain restrictions apply for retirement accounts.
Call your investment professional for more information.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income
and capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends
are declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and
are normally distributed on the first business day of the following
month. Based on prior approval of each fund, dividends relating to
Capital Reserves Class shares redeemed during the month can be
distributed on the day of redemption. Each fund reserves the
right to limit this service.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you
want to receive your distributions. Capital Reserves Class offers two
options.
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions,
if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the
same class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your
application, you will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital
gain distributions, if any.
For retirement accounts, all distributions are automatically
reinvested. When you are over 59 years old, you can receive
distributions in cash.
Dividends will normally be reinvested at each fund's Capital Reserves
Class NAV on the last day of the month. Capital gain distributions, if
any, will be reinvested at the NAV as of the record date of the
distribution. The mailing of distribution checks will begin within
seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in the
funds could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that Tax-Exempt Fund earns is
distributed to shareholders as income dividends. Interest that is
federally tax-free remains tax-free when it is distributed.
Distributions from Prime Fund and Treasury Fund, however, are subject
to federal income tax and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
If you live outside the United States, your distributions from these
funds could also be taxed by the country in which you reside.
For federal tax purposes, income and short-term capital gains from
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund a re distributed as dividends and
taxed as ordinary income; capital gain distributions, if any, are
taxed as long-term capital gains.
However, for shareholders of Tax-Exempt Fund, gain on the sale of
tax-free bonds results in taxable distributions. Short-term capital
gains and a portion of the gain on bonds purchased at a discount
are distributed as dividends and taxed as ordinary income;
capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as long-term capital
gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally
free from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may
limit this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase
agreements and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the
benefit. In addition, some states may impose intangible property
taxes. You should consult your own tax adviser for details and
up-to-date information on the tax laws in your state.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, 0.95 % of Prime
Fund's and 23.35% of Treasury Fund's income distributions were derived
from interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt
from state income tax.
Distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in
cash or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and
paid in January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
Every January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing
the tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the
previous year.
A portion of Tax-Exempt Fund's dividends may be free from state or
local taxes. Income from investments in your state are often tax-free
to you. Each year, the transfer agent will send you a breakdown of
Tax-Exempt Fund's income from each state to help you calculate your
taxes.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, 100 % of
Tax-Exempt Fund's income dividend was free from federal income tax.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements,
a fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUNDS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) is open. FSC normally calculates Capital Reserves
Class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00
p.m. Eastern time.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Capital
Reserves Class of each fund is computed by adding Capital Reserves
Class's pro rata share of the value of the fund's investments, cash,
and other assets, subtracting Capital Reserves Class's pro rata share
of the value of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities
allocated to Capital Reserves Class, and dividing the result by the
number of Capital Reserves Class shares of that fund that are
outstanding. Each fund values its portfolio securities on the basis of
amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a
security's market value and helps each fund maintain a stable $1.00
share price.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require a fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONICALLY.
Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss resulting from
unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security
procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity
will request personalized security codes or other information, and may
also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet,
Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit
encryption. You should verify the accuracy of the confirmation
statements immediately after receipt. If you do not want the
ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions. Additional documentation may be required from
corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example,
during periods of unusual market activity), consider placing your
order by mail.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a
period of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any
specific purchase order, including certain purchases by exchange. See
"Exchange Restrictions" on page . Purchase orders may be refused if,
in FMR's opinion, they would disrupt management of a fund.
TO ALLOW FMR TO MANAGE THE FUNDS MOST EFFECTIVELY, you are urged to
initiate all trades as early in the day as possible and to notify
Fidelity Client Services in advance of large transactions.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased
at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper
form . Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) The funds do not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.

close of the Federal Reserve Wire System on that day, begin to earn
dividends on the day of purchase.
(small solid bullet) Capital Reserves Class shares purchased in
connection with all other orders begin to earn dividends on the first
day following the day of purchase.
AUTOMATED PURCHASE ORDERS. You may purchase shares sold
through investment professionals utilizing an automated placement and
settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specific
date.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at
the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper
form . Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Capital Reserves Class shares redeemed in
connection with a wire order that is placed by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
for Prime Fund and Treasury Fund or by 12:00 noon Eastern time for
Tax-Exempt Fund, earn dividends through the day prior to the day of
redemption.
(small solid bullet) Capital Reserves Class shares redeemed in
connection with all other orders earn dividends through the day of
redemption; however, shares redeemed on a Friday or prior to a holiday
continue to earn dividends until the next business day.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays)
when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the
SEC.
(small solid bullet) A fund may withhold redemption proceeds until
it is reasonably assured that investments credited to your account
have been received and collected.
(small solid bullet) If you sell shares by writing a check and the
amount of the check is greater than the value of your account, your
check will be returned to you and you may be subject to additional
charges.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $500 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.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to
qualified recipients who support the sale of shares of the funds
without reimbursement from the funds. Qualified recipients are
securities dealers who have sold fund shares or others, including
banks and other financial institutions, under special arrangements in
connection with FDC's sales activities. In some instances, these
incentives may be offered only to certain institutions whose
representatives provide services in connection with the sale or
expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS

KEY FACTS
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund offers investors a convenient way to invest in a
professionally managed portfolio of money market instruments.
The fund is designed for investors who would like to earn current
income while preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
The fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00 and offers
an added measure of safety with its focus on U.S. Treasury securities.
The fund does not constitute a balanced investment plan. However,
because it emphasizes stability, it could be well-suited for a portion
of your investments.
The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares . All classes
of the fund have a common investment objective and investment
portfolio. The fund offers Daily Money Class shares, Capital Reserves
Class shares, Advisor B Class (Class B) shares, and Advisor C Class
(Class C) shares. Daily Money Class and Capital Reserves Class shares
do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 12b-1 fee. Class B and Class
C shares do not have a front-end sales charge, but do have a
contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), and pay a 12b-1 fee. Class B
and Class C shares may be purchased directly only in connection with
the Fidelity Advisor Systematic Exchange Program (the Program) for
purposes of exchanging into Class B or Class C shares, as applicable,
of the Fidelity Advisor funds. You may obtain more information about
Daily Money Class shares and Capital Reserves Class shares, which are
not offered through this prospectus, from your investment professional
or by calling Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
The performance of one class of shares of a fund may be different from
the performance of another class of shares of the same fund because of
different sales charges and class expenses. Contact your investment
professional to discuss which class is appropriate for you.
In determining which class of shares is appropriate for you, you
should consider, among other factors, the amount you plan to invest,
the length of time you intend to hold your shares, and the package of
services provided to you by your investment professional and the
overall costs of those services.
In general, Daily Money Class shares have lower costs than Capital
Reserves Class, Class B and Class C shares because Daily Money Class
shares do not have a sales charge and have lower 12b-1 fees. Class B
shares have higher costs than Class C shares over a short holding
period because Class B shares have a higher CDSC that declines over
six years, and Class B shares have lower costs than Class C shares
over a longer period because Class B shares convert to Daily Money
Class shares after a maximum of seven years. If you sell your
Class B shares within six years, you will normally pay a CDSC that
varies depending on how long you have held your shares. If you sell
your Class C shares within one year, you will normally pay a 1.00%
CDSC. Class C shares do not convert to another class of shares. See
"Transactions Details," page , for CDSC and conversion information.
Please note that purchase amounts of more than $250,000 will not be
accepted for Class B shares and purchase amounts of more than
$1,000,000 generally will not be accepted for Class C
shares. See "How to Buy Shares," page for more information on the
maximum purchase amount for Class B and Class C shares.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy
or sell Class B or Class C shares of the fund. See "Transaction
Details," page for an explanation of how and when these charges
apply.
A CDSC is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares according to the
schedule that was in effect when you originally purchased the Advisor
fund Class B shares that you exchanged for Class B shares of the
fund . A CDSC is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares only if
you redeem Class C shares within one year of purchase. See
"Transaction Details," page , for information about each class's
CDSC.

ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The fund
pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR).
The fund also incurs other expenses for services such as maintaining
shareholder records and furnishing shareholder account statements and
financial reports.
12b-1 fees include a distribution fee and a shareholder service fee.
Distribution fees are paid by each class to the distributor for
services and expenses in connection with the distribution of the
applicable class's shares. Shareholder service fees are paid by each
class to investment professionals for services and expenses incurred
in connection with providing personal service and/or maintenance of
the applicable class's shareholder accounts . Long-term
shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum
sales charges permitted by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., due to 12b-1 fees.
Each class 's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends
and are not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown
of Expenses" on page ).
The following figures are based on estimated or historical
expenses, adjusted to reflect current fees , of Class B and
Class C of Treasury Fund and are calculated as a percentage of average
net assets of the applicable class.

FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Class B and Class C to the
extent that total operating expenses exceed 1.40% of Class B's and
1.40% of Class C's average net assets. If these agreements were not in
effect, other expenses and total operating expenses, as a percentage
of average net assets, of Class B of the fund would have been,
0.44 % and 1.69 %, respectively, and 0.45 % and
1.70 %, respectively, of Class C of the fund. Expenses eligible
for reimbursement do not include interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses.

PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or
YIELD.
Performance history will be available for Class C after Class C has
been in operation for six months.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated
period of time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate
of return that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same
cumulative total return if performance had been constant over the
entire period. Average annual total returns smooth out variations in
performance; they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.
Average annual total returns covering periods of less than one year
assume that performance will remain constant for the rest of the year.
Average annual and cumulative total returns usually will include the
effect of paying the maximum applicable sales charge.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in the fund over
a given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a
yield assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an
EFFECTIVE YIELD.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a
money market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market
funds maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields
are the most common illustration of money market fund performance.
The fund's performance and holdings are detailed twice a year in
financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For current
performance call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUND IN DETAIL
CHARTER
TREASURY FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders'
money and invests it toward a specified goal. The fund is a
diversified fund of Newbury Street Trust, an open-end management
investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on December
30, 1991.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the
fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that
provide services to the fund, and review the fund's performance. The
trustees serve as trustees for other Fidelity funds. The majority of
trustees are not otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY
MATERIALS. These meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees,
change fundamental policies, approve a management contract, or for
other purposes. Shareholders not attending these meetings are
encouraged to vote by proxy . The transfer agent will mail proxy
materials in advance, including a voting card and information about
the proposals to be voted on. The number of votes you are entitled to
is based upon the dollar value of your investment.
Separate votes are taken by each class of shares, fund, or trust, if a
matter affects just that class of shares, fund, or trust,
respectively.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business
address at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It
includes a number of different subsidiaries and divisions which
provide a variety of financial services and products. The fund employs
various Fidelity companies to perform activities required for its
operation.
The fund is managed by FMR, which handles the fund's business affairs.
FMR Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of October 31, 1997, FMR advised funds having approximately 33
million shareholder accounts with a total value of more than
$ 510 billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services.
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC)
performs transfer agent servicing functions for each class of the
fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FMR Texas. Members
of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a
class of shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the
voting power of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the 1940 Act), control of a company is presumed where one individual
or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company; therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940
Act to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
To carry out the fund's transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that the
fund receives services and commission rates comparable to those of
other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
The f und seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as
is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
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 complies with industry-standard requirements for the
quality, maturity, and diversification of its investments, which are
designed to help maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Of course, there
is no guarantee that the fund will maintain a stable $1.00 share
price. The fund will purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks and will observe maturity
restrictions on securities it buys. 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 fund's investments could cause its share
price (and the value of your investment) to change.
The fund earns income at current money market rates. It stresses
preservation of capital, liquidity, and income and does not seek the
higher yields or capital appreciation that more aggressive investments
may provide. The fund's yield will vary from day to day and generally
reflects current short-term interest rates and other market
conditions.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in
this section. A complete listing of the fund's limitations and more
detailed information about the fund's investments are contained in the
fund's SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that they are consistent with the fund's
investment objective and policies and that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal. Fund holdings are detailed in the fund's financial
reports, which are sent to shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI
or financial report, call Fidelity Client Service at
1-800-843-3001 or your investment professional .
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, notes, and bonds. U.S.
Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a
benchmark rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed
to help stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of
a debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are
similar to those of other money market securities, although stripped
securities may be more volatile. U.S. Treasury securities that have
been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the
U.S. Treasury.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a
security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the
agreement defaults or becomes insolvent.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the
issuer or another party. In exchange for this benefit, the fund may
accept a lower interest rate.
WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS are trading
practices in which payment and delivery for the security take place at
a later date than is customary for that type of security. The market
value of the security could change during this period.
CASH MANAGEMENT. The fund may invest in money market securities, in
repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to
funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to
seek a high level of current income while maintaining a stable $1.00
share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on the
money market fund's investments could cause its share price to change.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund does not currently intend to invest in a money
market fund.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages
are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder
approval. The following paragraph restates all those that are
fundamental. All policies stated throughout this prospectus, other
than that identified in the following paragraph, can be changed
without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily
operations. Expenses paid out of each class's assets are reflected in
that class's share price or dividends; they are neither billed
directly to shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES,
which are explained on the right .
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fund
pays the fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets.
Prior to May 31, 1997, the fund's management fee was equal to an
annual rate of 0.50% of the fund's average net assets. The total
management fee rate for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 was
0.41%.
FMR Texas is the fund's sub-adviser and has primary responsibility for
managing its investments. FMR is responsible for providing other
management services. FMR pays FMR Texas 50% of its management fee
(before expense reimbursements) for FMR Texas's services. FMR paid FMR
Texas a fee equal to 0.12 % of Treasury Fund's average net
assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 , but after
payments made by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and Service
Plans in effect prior to May 31, 1997 .
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's
annual operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder
servicing functions for Class B and Class C shares of the fund.
Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) calculates the net asset value
per share (NAV) and dividends for Class B and Class C and maintains
the fund's general accounting records.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, transfer agency and
pricing and bookkeeping fees paid (as a percentage of average net
assets) amounted to the following. These amounts are before expense
reductions, if any.
TRANSFER AGENCY FEES PRICING AND
PAID BY BOOKKEEPING
FEES PAID BY
CLASS B CLASS C FUND
TREASURY FUND 0. 25 % -- 0.01%
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the
compensation of trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity.
Class B shares of Treasury Fund have adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND
SERVICE PLAN. Under the plan, Class B is authorized to pay FDC a
monthly distribution fee as compensation for its services and expenses
in connection with the distribution of Class B shares. Class B
currently pays FDC a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate of
0.75% of its average net assets throughout the month.
In addition, pursuant to the Class B plan, Class B pays FDC a monthly
service fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class B's average net assets
throughout the month. The full amount of the Class B service fee is
reallowed to investment professionals for providing personal service
to and/or maintenance of Class B shareholder accounts.
Class C shares of Treasury Fund have adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND
SERVICE PLAN. Under the plan, Class C is authorized to pay FDC a
monthly distribution fee as compensation for its services and expenses
in connection with the distribution of Class C shares. Class C
currently pays FDC a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate of
0.75% of its average net assets throughout the month. After the first
year of investment, up to the full amount of the Class C distribution
fee may be reallowed to investment professionals as compensation for
their services in connection with the distribution of Class C shares.
In addition, pursuant to the Class C plan, Class C pays FDC a monthly
service fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class C's average net assets
throughout the month. After the first year of investment, the full
amount of the Class C service fee is reallowed to investment
professionals for providing personal services to and/or maintenance of
Class C shareholder accounts.
The Class B and Class C plan s specifically recognize
that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past
profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection
with the distribution of the applicable class's shares,
including payments made to investment professionals that provide
shareholder support services or engage in the sale of the
applicable class's shares. Currently, the Board of Trustees has
authorized such payments.

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income
and capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends
are declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and
are normally distributed on the first business day of the following
month. Based on prior approval of the fund, dividends relating to
Class B and Class C shares redeemed during the month can be
distributed on the day of redemption. The fund reserves the right to
limit this service.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you
want to receive your distributions. Class B and Class C offer two
options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions,
if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the
same class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your
application, you will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital
gain distributions, if any.
For retirement accounts, all distributions are automatically
reinvested. When you are over 59 years old, you can receive
distributions in cash.
Shares purchased through reinvestment of dividend and capital gain
distributions are not subject to a sales charge.
Dividends will be reinvested at the fund's Class B or Class C, as
applicable, NAV on the last day of the month. Capital gain
distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the NAV as of the record
date of the distribution. The mailing of distribution checks will
begin within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the
fund will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement
account, you should be aware of these tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income
tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions could also be taxed by
the country in which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when
they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are
taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital
gains are distributed as dividends and taxed as ordinary income;
capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as long-term capital
gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally
free from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may
limit this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase
agreements and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the
benefit. In addition, some states may impose intangible property
taxes. You should consult your own tax adviser for details and
up-to-date information on the tax laws in your state.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, 23.35 % of Treasury
Fund's income distributions was derived from interest on U.S.
Government securities which is generally exempt from state income tax.
Every January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing
the tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the previous
year.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements,
the fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the NYSE is open. FSC
normally calculates each class's NAV as of the close of business of
the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each
class is computed by adding that class's pro rata share of the
value of the applicable fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting that class's pro rata share of the value of the fund's
liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to that class, and
dividing the result by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding. The fund values its portfolio securities on the basis of
amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a
security's market value and helps the fund maintain a stable $1.00
share price.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE. Your Class B shares purchased by
exchange retain the CDSC schedule that was in effect when you
originally purchased the Fidelity Advisor fund Class B shares that you
exchanged for Class B shares of the fund.
Class B shares purchased directly in connection with the Program will
be assessed a CDSC based on the following schedule:
FROM DATE OF PURCHASE CONTINGENT DEFERRED
SALES CHARGE
LESS THAN 1 YEAR 5%
1 YEAR TO LESS THAN 2 YEARS 4%
2 YEARS TO LESS THAN 3 YEARS 3%
3 YEARS TO LESS THAN 4 YEARS 3%
4 YEARS TO LESS THAN 5 YEARS 2%
5 YEARS TO LESS THAN 6 YEARS 1%
6 YEARS TO LESS THAN 7 YEARS A 0%
A AFTER A MAXIMUM HOLDING PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS, CLASS B SHARES WILL
CONVERT AUTOMATICALLY TO DAILY MONEY CLASS SHARES OF THE FUND.
At the time of sale, investment professionals with whom FDC has
agreements receive as compensation from FDC a concession equal to
4 .00% of the amount of your direct purchase of Class B shares.
Class C shares may, upon redemption within one year of purchase, be
assessed a CDSC of 1.00%.
At the time of sale, investment professionals with whom FDC has
agreements receive as compensation from FDC a concession equal to
1.00% of your purchase of Class C shares.
The CDSC will be calculated based on the lesser of the cost of Class B
or Class C shares, as applicable, at the initial date of purchase or
the value of Class B or Class C shares, as applicable, at redemption,
not including any reinvested dividends or capital gains, if any. Class
B or Class C shares acquired through distributions (dividends or
capital gains) will not be subject to a CDSC. In determining the
applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, Class B and Class C
shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any,
will be redeemed first, followed by Class B and Class C shares that
have been held for the longest period of time.
CONVERSION FEATURE. After a maximum holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase, Class B shares convert automatically to
Daily Money Class shares of the fund. Conversion to Daily Money Class
shares will be made at NAV. At the time of conversion, a portion of
the Class B shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends or
capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also convert to Daily Money Class
shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will convert is determined
by the ratio of your converting Class B non-Dividend Shares to your
total Class B non-Dividend Shares.
DAILY MONEY CLASS SHARES. The fund offers Daily Money Class shares to
individual, institutional and corporate investors at NAV. Daily Money
Class shares may be exchanged only for Class A or Class T shares, as
applicable, of Fidelity Advisor funds or Daily Money Class shares of
Prime Fund, Treasury Fund or Tax-Exempt Fund. Transfer agency,
dividend disbursing and shareholder services for Daily Money Class
shares are performed by FIIOC. Daily Money Class shares have adopted a
Distribution and Service Plan. Under the Plan, Daily Money Class
shares of the fund currently pay FDC a monthly distribution fee of
0.25% of its average net assets. The Daily Money Class Plan recognizes
that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past
profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection
with the distribution of Daily Money Class's shares, including
payments made to investment professionals that provide shareholder
support services or engage in the sale of the Daily Money Class's
shares. The Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such
payments. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 total operating
expenses for Daily Money Class were 0.65 % of average net
assets, after voluntary expense reimbursements of 0.09 % by FMR
which reflect the expense structure in effect on that date.
For more information about the CDSC, including the conversion feature
and the permitted circumstances for CDSC waivers, contact your
investment professional.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you have sold all or part of your Class B
or Class C shares, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a
portion of the redemption proceeds in the same class of the fund or a
Fidelity Advisor fund, at the NAV next determined after receipt of
your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within
90 days of redemption. Under these circumstances, the dollar amount of
the CDSC, if any, you paid will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting
that amount in Class B or Class C shares, as applicable . You
must reinstate your Class B or Class C shares into an account with the
same registration. This privilege may be exercised only once by a
shareholder with respect to the fund and certain restrictions may
apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will
continue as if the Class B or Class C shares had not been redeemed.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require the fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR
ELECTRONICALLY . Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss
resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable
security procedures designed to verify the identity of the

conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an

fiduciaries.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectuses. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment
policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets
that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a
policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage
limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the
fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with a fund's investment policies and limitations.
A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF PRIME FUND
THE FOLLOWING ARE PRIME FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the
securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or
securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more
than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities
of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for
temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and
(ii) engage in reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided
that (i) and (ii) in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's
total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other
than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will
be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to
the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry, except that
the fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in the
financial services industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments; or
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.
(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objectives, policies and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to purchase a security (other

its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of
its total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer;
provided that the fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the
first tier securities of a single issuer for up to three business
days. (This limit does not apply to securities of other open-end
investment companies managed by FMR or a successor or affiliate
purchased pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC.)
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,

transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(iii) Subject to revision upon 60 days' notice to shareholders, the
fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin,
except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin

contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party. The fund will not purchase any

if total outstanding borrowings immediately after such borrowing would
exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as
a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in

legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be

approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures

securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 10% of the

repurchase agreements.)

in the securities of a single open-end management investment company
with substantially the same fundamental investment objective,
policies, and limitations as the fund.

(11) invest in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
programs.
(12) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
For purposes of limitation (1), certain securities subject to credit
guarantees or puts from third parties are not considered securities of
their issuer in accordance with industry standard requirements for
money market funds. For purposes of limitations (1) and (7), FMR
identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and
conditions. In the case of identifying the issuer, FMR will consider
the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and
repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in
which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are
separated from those of other political entities; and whether a
government or other entity is guaranteeing the security.
THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (5)). The fund will not purchase any security while
borrowings representing more than 5% of its total assets are
outstanding. The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by FMR
or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately after
such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to invest in interests in
real estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable, or to
invest in interests in real estate limited partnerships that are not
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange
or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contracts.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For the funds' policies on quality and maturity, see the section
entitled "Quality and Maturity" on page .
SHAREHOLDER NOTICE. Treasury Fund invests only in U.S. Treasury
securities and repurchase agreements for those securities. This
operating policy may be changed only upon 90 days' notice to
shareholders. Each of Treasury Fund and Prime Fund do not intend to
purchase futures contracts or options on futures contracts. This
operating policy may be changed only upon approval by the Board of
Trustees and 60 days' notice to shareholders.
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve
its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may include repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include pools of mortgages, loans,
receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing
the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit,
surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed
securities may also be affected by the creditworthiness of the
servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or
receivables, or the entities providing the credit support.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may buy and sell securities
on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve
a commitment by a fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place
after the customary settlement period for that type of security.
Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is
delivered.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, each fund
assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price
and yield fluctuations. Because a fund is not required to pay for
securities until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the
risks associated with the fund's other investments. If a fund remains
substantially fully invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases
are outstanding, the delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form
of leverage. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund
will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account to cover its purchase obligations. When a fund has sold a
security on a delayed-delivery basis, the fund does not participate in
further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other
party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for
the securities, the fund could miss a favorable price or yield
opportunity, or could suffer a loss.
Each fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are
delivered, which may result in capital gains or losses.
DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ISSUERS. Investments may be made in U.S.
dollar-denominated time deposits, certificates of deposit, and
bankers' acceptances of U.S. banks and their branches located outside
of the United States, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and
foreign branches of foreign banks. A fund may also invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities issued or guaranteed by other U.S. or
foreign issuers, including U.S. and foreign corporations or other
business organizations, foreign governments, foreign government
agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and foreign financial
institutions, including savings and loan institutions, insurance
companies, mortgage bankers, and real estate investment trusts, as
well as banks.
The obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or
may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by
governmental regulation. Payment of interest and principal on these
obligations may also be affected by governmental action in the country
of domicile of the branch (generally referred to as sovereign risk).
In addition, evidence of ownership of portfolio securities may be held
outside of the United States and a fund may be subject to the risks
associated with the holding of such property overseas. Various
provisions of federal law governing the establishment and operation of
U.S. branches do not apply to foreign branches of U.S. banks.
Obligations of U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks may be
general obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing
branch, or may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by
federal and state regulation, as well as by governmental action in the
country in which the foreign bank has its head office.
Obligations of foreign issuers involve certain additional risks. These
risks may include future unfavorable political and economic
developments, withholding taxes, seizures of foreign deposits,
currency controls, interest limitations, or other governmental
restrictions that might affect payment of principal or interest, or
the ability to honor a credit commitment. Additionally, there may be
less public information available about foreign entities. Foreign
issuers may be subject to less governmental regulation and supervision
than U.S. issuers. Foreign issuers also generally are not bound by
uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements
comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
FEDERALLY TAXABLE OBLIGATIONS. Under normal conditions, Tax-Exempt
Fund does not intend to invest in securities whose interest is
federally taxable. However, from time to time on a temporary basis,
the fund may invest a portion of its assets in fixed-income
obligations whose interest is subject to federal income tax.
Should Tax-Exempt Fund invest in federally taxable obligations, it
would purchase securities that, in FMR's judgment, are of high
quality. These obligations would include those issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities and
repurchase agreements backed by such obligations.
Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption
for interest on municipal obligations are introduced before Congress
from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced before state
legislatures that would affect the state tax treatment of Tax-Exempt
Fund's distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability
of municipal obligations and the value of the fund's holdings would be
affected and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's investment
objectives and policies.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed
of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at
which they are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through
reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
instruments. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency of trades
and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers
in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, (4) the
nature of the security (including any demand or tender features), and
(5) the nature of the marketplace for trades (including the ability to
assign or offset the fund's rights and obligations relating to the
investment).
Investments currently considered by the funds to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal
and interest within seven days. Also, FMR may determine some
restricted securities, municipal lease obligations, and time deposits
to be illiquid.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are valued
for purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation at fair value as
determined in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of
Trustees. If through a change in values, net assets, or other
circumstances, a fund were in a position where more than 10% of its
net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would seek to take
appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, each fund has received permission to lend
money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its
affiliates. Treasury Fund and Tax-Exempt Fund currently intend to
participate in this program only as borrowers. A fund will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the
cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. A fund will lend through the program only
when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in
repurchase agreements. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a
higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.
Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to
modify the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial
assets. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity
of a security, or interest rate adjustment features can be used to
enhance price stability. If the structure does not perform as
intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result. Neither
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority
has ruled definitively on certain legal issues presented by structured
securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could
adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income
received from these securities or the nature and timing of
distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take the form
of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract
and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to
acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally,
the funds will not hold such obligations directly as a lessor of the
property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal
obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest
gives a fund a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in
proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the
obligation.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated
with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and
statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must
meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate
limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or
conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the
leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a
means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment
without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for
the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include
"non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has
no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis.
Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance
limitations.
MUNICIPAL MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities
may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to
legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal
securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event
of a bankruptcy. Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare, and
certain provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such
bankruptcies are unclear and remain untested. Further, the application
of state law to municipal issuers could produce varying results among
the states or among municipal securities issuers within a state. These
legal uncertainties could affect the municipal securities market
generally, certain specific segments of the market, or the relative
credit quality of particular securities. Any of these effects could
have a significant impact on the prices of some or all of the
municipal securities held by a fund, making it more difficult for the
fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
MUNICIPAL SECTORS:
ELECTRIC UTILITIES INDUSTRY. The electric utilities industry has been
experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive
pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open
transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not
presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks
include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability
and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand,
(d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and
licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local
regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f)
opposition to nuclear power.
HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. The health care industry is subject to
regulatory action by a number of private and governmental agencies,
including federal, state, and local governmental agencies. A major
source of revenues for the health care industry is payments from the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. As a result, the industry is sensitive
to legislative changes and reductions in governmental spending for
such programs. Numerous other factors may affect the industry, such as
general and local economic conditions; demand for services; expenses
(including malpractice insurance premiums); and competition among
health care providers. In the future, the following elements may
adversely affect health care facility operations: adoption of
legislation proposing a national health insurance program; other state
or local health care reform measures; medical and technological
advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the
way in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage
which alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and
efforts by employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce
the costs of health insurance and health care services.
HOUSING. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state,
county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They
generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased
with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to
predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the
proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying
mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed
supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner
repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect
the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable
completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent
levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and
regulations.
EDUCATION. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds;
those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and
universities, and those representing pooled interests in student
loans. Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are
subject to the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the
result of decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and
federal funding. Among the factors that may lead to declining or
insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay
tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general
economic conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered
by state (or substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by
pools of student loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by
state guarantee agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the
United States Department of Education through its guaranteed student
loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents
or students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit
enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be
applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on
program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student
loan revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the
rate of student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and
student repayment deferral during periods of forbearance. Other risks
associated with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes
in federal legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state
guarantee agency reimbursement and continued federal interest and
other program subsidies currently in effect.
WATER AND SEWER. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to
have relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's
importance, monopoly status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise
rates. Despite this, lack of water supply due to insufficient rain,
run-off, or snow pack is a concern that has led to past defaults.
Further, public resistance to rate increases, costly environmental
litigation, and Federal environmental mandates are challenges faced by
issuers of water and sewer bonds.
TRANSPORTATION. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the
construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit
facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of
the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who
uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader
economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of
fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability
of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads, and
the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability
also affect other transportation-related securities, as does the
presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public
transportation.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer
or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. They are
subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put
feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their
ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or
other guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby
commitments, and tender options are types of put features.
QUALITY AND MATURITY. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Trustees, the funds may purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks. To be considered high-quality,
a security must be rated in accordance with applicable rules in one of
the two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two
nationally recognized rating services (or by one, if only one rating
service has rated the security); or, if unrated, judged to be of
equivalent quality by FMR.
High-quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second
tier" securities. First tier securities are those deemed to be in the
highest rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-1 or SP-1), and
second tier securities are those deemed to be in the second highest
rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-2 or SP-2). Split-rated
securities may be determined to be either first or second tier based
on applicable regulations.
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund (the Taxable Funds) may not invest more
than 5% of its total assets in second tier securities. In addition,
the Taxable funds may not invest more than 1% of its total assets or
$1 million (whichever is greater) in the second tier securities of a
single issuer.
Each fund currently intends to limit its investments to
securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and to
maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less. When
determining the maturity of a security, a fund may look to an interest
rate reset or demand feature.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to sell that security back to the
original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is
unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. To
protect a fund from the risk that the original seller will not fulfill
its obligation, the securities are held in an account of the fund at a
bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal
to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. While it does
not presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these
transactions (particularly the possibility that the value of the
underlying security will be less than the resale price, as well as
delays and costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy proceedings),
it is a fund's current policy to engage in repurchase agreement
transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and
found satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part
of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse
between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may
be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration
statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to
develop, a fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed
when it decided to seek registration of the security. However, in
general, each fund anticipates holding restricted securities to
maturity or selling them in an exempt transaction.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the
instrument at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase
agreement is outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid
assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under
the agreement. A fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements
only with parties whose creditworthiness has been found satisfactory
by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market
value of the fund's assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." A fund may sell securities short when
it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind or
amount to the securities sold short. Such short sales are known as
short sales "against the box" and could be used to protect the net
asset value per share of the fund in anticipation of increased
interest rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the
securities sold short. If a fund enters into a short sale against the
box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind
and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or
exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such
securities while the short sale is outstanding. The fund will incur
transaction costs in connection with opening, maintaining, and
closing short sales against the box.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. FMR may rely on its evaluation
of the credit of a bank or other entity in determining whether to
purchase a security supported by a letter of credit guarantee, put or
demand feature, insurance or other source of credit or liquidity. In
evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR
will consider whether adequate public information about the entity is
available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable
political or economic developments, currency controls, or other
government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its
commitment.
STRIPPED GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Stripped government securities are
created by separating the income and principal components of a U.S.
Government security and selling them separately. STRIPS (Separate
Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) are
created when the coupon payments and the principal payment are
stripped from an outstanding Treasury security by a Federal Reserve
Bank.
Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer
deposits a U.S. Treasury security or other U.S. Government security
with a custodian for safekeeping. The custodian issues separate
receipts for the coupon payments and principal payment, which the
dealer then sells. Proprietary receipts, such as Certificates of
Accrual on Treasury Securities (CATS) and Treasury Investment Growth
Receipts (TIGRS), and generic receipts, such as Treasury Receipts
(TRs), are privately stripped U.S. Treasury securities.
Because the SEC does not consider privately stripped government
securities to be U.S. Government securities for purposes of Rule 2a-7,
a fund must evaluate them as it would non-government securities
pursuant to regulatory guidelines applicable to all money market
funds.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments
of the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities
provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate,
while floating rate securities have interest rates that change
whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate. Some
variable or floating rate securities have put features.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make regular interest payments. Instead, they
are sold at a deep discount from their face value and are redeemed at
face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay
current income, their prices can be very volatile when interest rates
change. In calculating its daily dividend, a fund takes into account
as income a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's
purchase price and its face value.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
fund's management contract. FMR has granted investment management
authority to the sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management
Contracts"), and the sub-adviser is authorized to place orders for the
purchase and sale of portfolio securities, and will do so in
accordance with the policies described below. FMR is also responsible
for the placement of transaction orders for other investment companies
and accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser.
Securities purchased and sold by a fund generally will be traded on a
net basis (i.e., without commission). In selecting broker-dealers,
subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, FMR
considers various relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the
markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution
efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the
broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution services rendered on
a continuing basis; and the reasonableness of any commissions.
The funds may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds or other accounts
over which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such
services may include advice concerning the value of securities; the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and
the availability of securities or the purchasers or sellers of
securities. In addition, such broker-dealers may furnish analyses and
reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; effect
securities transactions, and perform functions incidental thereto
(such as clearance and settlement). FMR maintains a listing of
broker-dealers who provide such services on a regular basis. However,
as many transactions on behalf of the funds are placed with
broker-dealers (including broker-dealers on the list) without regard
to the furnishing of such services, it is not possible to estimate the
proportion of such transactions directed to such broker-dealers solely
because such services were provided. The selection of such
broker-dealers generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible
consistent with execution considerations) based upon the quality of
research and execution services provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to the funds or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to the funds. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause each fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to the funds
and its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation
should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided
assistance in the distribution of shares of the funds or shares of
other Fidelity funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use
research services provided by and place agency transactions with
National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity Brokerage
Services (FBS), indirect subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if the commissions
are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by
non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. From
September 1992 through December 1994, FBS operated under the name
Fidelity Brokerage Services Limited (FBSL). As of January 1995, FBSL
was converted to an unlimited liability company and assumed the name
FBS.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided
assistance in the distribution of shares of the funds, or shares of
other Fidelity funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use
research services provided by and place agency transactions with
National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC), an indirect subsidiary
of FMR Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable
to commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms
for similar services.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain
requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board
of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio transactions on
national securities exchanges in accordance with approved procedures
and applicable SEC rules.
Each fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the funds and review the commissions paid by
each fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, the fiscal period ended
October 31, 1996 and the fiscal years ended July 31, 1996 and 1995,
Prime Fund, and Treasury Fund paid no brokerage commission s. For
the fiscal years ended October 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, Tax-Exempt
Fund paid no brokerage commissions.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, the funds paid no
fees to brokerage firms that provided research services.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
each fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for
each fund are made independently from those of other funds managed by
FMR or accounts managed by FMR affiliates. It sometimes happens that
the same security is held in the portfolio of more than one of these
funds or accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when
several funds and accounts are managed by the same investment adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment
objective of more than one fund or account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) normally determines each class's
net asset value per share (NAV) at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The
valuation of portfolio securities is determined as of this time for
the purpose of computing each class's NAV.
Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of
amortized cost. This technique involves initially valuing an
instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or
accretion of discount rather than its current market value. The
amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the
price a fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their
respective NAVs.
During periods of declining interest rates, a class's yield based on
amortized cost valuation may be higher than would result if the fund
used market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply
during periods of rising interest rates.
Valuing each fund's investments on the basis of amortized cost and use
of the term "money market fund" are permitted pursuant to Rule 2a-7
under the 1940 Act. Each fund must adhere to certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7, as summarized in the section entitled "Quality and
Maturity" on page .
The Board of Trustees oversees FMR's adherence to the provisions of
Rule 2a-7 and has established procedures designed to stabilize each
class's NAV at $1.00. At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the
Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market
valuations would deviate from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees believe
that a deviation from a fund's amortized cost per share may result in
material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the
Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if any, as they
deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably
practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective action
could include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to
realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio
maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind;
establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such other
measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
The funds may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. Each class's yield and total
return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute a class's yield for a period, the net
change in value of a hypothetical account containing one share
reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from
the one original share and dividends declared on both the original
share and any additional shares. The net change is then divided by the
value of the account at the beginning of the period to obtain a base
period return. This base period return is annualized to obtain a
current annualized yield. A class also may calculate an effective
yield by compounding the base period return over a one-year period. In
addition to the current yield, the funds may quote yields in
advertising based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for each
class of the funds are calculated on the same basis as other money
market funds, as required by applicable regulations.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a class's performance and
in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, each class's yield fluctuates, unlike
investments that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of
time. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also
note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of
respective investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
a fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market
rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will
tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the
inflow of net new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its
shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields
than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's
current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can
be expected to occur.
A class's tax-equivalent yield is the rate an investor would have to
earn from a fully taxable investment before taxes to equal the class's
tax-free yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing a
class's yield by the result of one minus a stated federal income tax
rate. If only a portion of a class's yield is tax-exempt, only that
portion is adjusted in the calculation.
The following table shows the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal income tax laws for 1997. It shows the
approximate yield a taxable security must provide at various income
brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of
hypothetical tax-exempt obligations yielding from 2 % to
8 %. Of course, no assurance can be given that a fund will
achieve any specific tax-exempt yield. While Tax-Exempt Fund invests
principally in obligations whose interest is exempt from federal
income tax, other income received by the fund may be taxable.

(dagger) The 1998 tax rates are not expected to be materially

Tax-Exempt Fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that
are subject to federal income tax. When a fund invests in these
obligations, its tax-equivalent yields will be lower. In the table
above, tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming investments are
100% federally tax-free.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect
all aspects of a class's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the
class's NAV over a stated period. Average annual total returns are
calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a
hypothetical historical investment in a class over a stated period,
and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that
would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline
in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative
total return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual
total return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that
would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While
average annual total returns are a convenient means of comparing
investment alternatives, investors should realize that a class's
performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year,
and that average annual total returns represent averaged figures as
opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the class.
In addition to average annual total returns, a class may quote
unaveraged or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in
value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and
cumulative total returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar
amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of
investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Total
returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital
(including capital gains and changes in share price) in order to
illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions
to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a before-tax or
after-tax basis and may be quoted with or without taking each fund's
maximum sales charge into account. Excluding a fund's sales charge
from a total return calculation produces a higher total return figure.
Total returns, yields, and other performance information may be quoted
numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following tables show 7-day yields and
total returns for each class of Prime Fund, Treasury Fund and
Tax-Exempt Fund and the tax-equivalent yield for each class of
Tax-Exempt Fund for the period ended October 31, 1997. Capital
Reserves Class of each fund commenced operations on October 31, 1997.
Capital Reserves Class returns prior to that date are those of Daily
Money Class, the original class of each fund, which did not have a
12b-1 fee until May 31, 1997. Returns from May 31, 1997 through
October 31, 1997 reflect a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. If Capital Reserves
Class's 12b-1 fee had been reflected, total returns would have been
lower. Effective May 31, 1997, Daily Money Class shares pay a 12b-1
fee of 0.25%. If the Daily Money Class's 12b-1 fee had been reflected,
returns prior to May 31, 1997 would have been lower. Class B of
Treasury Fund commenced operations on July 1, 1994. Class B's returns
prior to that date are those of Daily Money Class, the original class
of the fund which did not have a 12b-1 fee at that time. If Class B's
12b-1 fee had been reflected, total returns prior to July 1, 1994
would have been lower. Class C of Treasury Fund commenced operations
on November 3, 1997. Class C returns prior to that date are those of
Class B which reflect a 12b-1 fee of 1.00%. The initial offering of
Class B began on July 1, 1994. Class C returns prior to July 1, 1994
are those of Daily Money Class, the original class of the fund, which
did not have a 12b-1 fee at that time. If Class C's 12b-1 fee had been
reflected, total returns prior to July 1, 1994 would have been lower.
Tax-Exempt Fund's tax-equivalent yield is based on a 36 %
federal income tax rate.

The following tables show the income and capital elements of each
class's cumulative total return. The tables compare each class's
return to the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living, as
measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The
CPI information is as of the month-end closest to the initial
investment date for each class. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are
provided to show how each class's total return compared to the record
of a broad unmanaged index of common stocks and a narrower set of
stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over the same
period. Because each fund invests in short-term fixed-income
securities, common stocks represent a different type of investment
from the funds. Common stocks generally offer greater growth potential
than the funds, but generally experience greater price volatility,
which means greater potential for loss. In addition, common stocks
generally provide lower income than fixed-income investments such as
the funds. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of
unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike each class's returns, do not
include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of
investing.
The following tables show the growth in value of a hypothetical
$10,000 investment in each class of each fund during the past 10
fiscal years ended 1997 or life of each fund, as applicable, assuming
all distributions were reinvested. The figures below reflect the
fluctuating interest rates of the specified periods and should not be
considered representative of the dividend income or capital gain or
loss that could be realized from an investment in a class today. Tax
consequences of different investments have not been factored into the

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Daily
Money Class of Treasury Fund on November 1, 1987, the net
amount invested in Capital Daily Money Class shares was $10,000. The
cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate
cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the
period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested)
amounted to $ 16,988 . If distributions had not been reinvested,
the amount of distributions earned from the class over time would have
been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to
$ 5,312 for dividends. The fund did not distribute any capital
gains during the period. Effective May 31, 1997, Daily Money Class
shares of Treasury Fund pay a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. If Daily Money
Class's 12b-1 fee had been reflected, returns prior to May 31, 1997
would have been lower.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on total return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do
not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are
prepared without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank
funds based on yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a
fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market
mutual fund performance indices prepared by Lipper or other
organizations. When comparing these indices, it is important to
remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of
investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability
of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising.
A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions.
Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For
example, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential
returns than CDs, a fund does not guarantee your principal or your
return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in
the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance
to that of other compilations or indices that may be developed and
made available in the future.
A fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC Financial Data, Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT AVERAGES(trademark)/Government,
which is reported in IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT(trademark), covers over
425 government money market funds; IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT
AVERAGES(trademark)/All Taxable, which is reported in IBC's MONEY FUND
REPORT(trademark), covers over 876 taxable money market funds;
and IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT AVERAGES(trademark)/All Tax-Free, which is
reported in IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT(trademark), covers over 439
tax-free money market funds.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(Registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
A fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes, which
may produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a
$1,000 investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have
an after-tax value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was
deducted from the return each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent
tax-deferred investment would have an after-tax value of $2,100 after
ten years, assuming tax was deducted at a 31% rate from the
tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year period.
As of October 31, 1997, FMR advised over $ 29 billion in
tax-free fund assets, $ 98 billion in money market fund assets,
$ 378 billion in equity fund assets, $ 72 billion in
international fund assets, and $ 23 billion in Spartan fund
assets. The funds may reference the growth and variety of money market
mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the
industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates
maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the
purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, each class may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds
tracked by Lipper. A class's total expense ratio is a significant
factor in comparing bond and money market investments because of its
effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
Each fund is open for business and its net asset value per share
(NAV) is calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is
open for trading. The NYSE has designated the following holiday
closings for 1998: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Although
FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be observed in the future,
the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. In addition,
each fund will be closed for wire purchases and redemptions on days
when the Federal Reserve Wire System is closed.
FSC normally determines each class's NAV as of the close of the
NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculated
earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). To the extent that portfolio
securities are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is
closed, a class's NAV may be affected on days when investors do not
have access to the fund to purchase or redeem shares. In addition,
trading in some of a fund's portfolio securities may not occur on days
when the fund is open for business.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing a class's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 (the Rule) under the 1940 Act, each fund is
required to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to
terminating or modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the
60-day notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect
of a modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative
fee, redemption fee or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the
time of exchange, or (ii) a fund suspends the redemption of the shares
to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder, or a fund to be acquired suspends the sale of
its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in
accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In its prospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it
reserves the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse
exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the
fund would be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be
adversely affected.
ADVISOR CLASS B AND CLASS C WAIVERS. The contingent deferred sales
charge (CDSC) on Class B shares and Class C shares may be waived (1)
in the case of disability or death, provided that the shares are
redeemed within one year following the death or the initial
determination of disability; (2) in connection with a total or partial
redemption related to certain distributions from retirement plans or
accounts at age 70 1/2 which are permitted without penalty pursuant to
the Internal Revenue Code; or (3) in connection with redemptions
through the Fidelity Advisor Systematic Withdrawal Program ; or (4)
(APPLICABLE TO CLASS C ONLY) in connection with any redemptions from
an employee benefit plan (including 403(b) programs, but otherwise as
defined by ERISA) .
A sales load waiver form must accompany these transactions.
FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM. If you own Class
B shares or Class C shares worth $10,000 or more you can
have monthly or quarterly checks sent from your account to you, to a
person named by you, or to your bank checking account. Aggregate
redemptions per 12-month period from your Class B or Class C account
may not exceed 10% of the value of the account and are not subject to
a CDSC; and you may set your withdrawal amount as a percentage of the
value of your account or a fixed dollar amount. Your Systematic
Withdrawal Program payments are drawn from Class B share or Class C
share redemptions. If Systematic Withdrawal Plan redemptions exceed
income dividends earned on your shares, your account eventually may be
exhausted.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and
the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks
remain uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your
distributions at the then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions
will then be reinvested until you provide Fidelity with alternate
instructions.
DIVIDENDS. Because each fund's income is primarily derived from
interest, dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders. A
portion of each fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government
obligations may be exempt from state and local taxation.
To the extent that a fund's income is designated as federally
tax-exempt interest, the daily dividends declared by the fund are also
federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are distributed as
dividend income, but do not qualify for the dividends-received
deduction. These gains will be taxed as ordinary income.
Each fund will send each shareholder a notice in January describing
the tax status of dividend and capital gain distributions (if any) for
the prior year.
Shareholders are required to report tax-exempt income on their federal
tax returns. Shareholders who earn other income, such as Social
Security benefits, may be subject to federal income tax on up to 85%
of such benefits to the extent that their income, including tax-exempt
income, exceeds certain base amounts.
Tax-Exempt Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest FMR
believes is free from federal income tax. Generally, issuers or other
parties have entered into covenants requiring continuing compliance
with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of
interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the
covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS determines that the
issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest
payments from a security could become federally taxable retroactive to
the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured
securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may
also be based on the federal tax treatment of the structure.
As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest on certain
"private activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax (AMT), although the interest continues to be excludable
from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private
activity securities will be considered tax-exempt for purposes of
Tax-Exempt Fund's policy of investing so that at least 80% of its
income distributions is free from federal income tax. Interest from
private activity securities is a tax preference item for the purposes
of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount
of AMT to be paid, if any. Private activity securities issued after
August 7, 1986 to benefit a private or industrial user or to finance a
private facility are affected by this rule.
A portion of the gain on bonds purchased with market discount after
April 30, 1993 and short-term capital gains distributed by the fund
are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains.
Dividend distributions resulting from a recharacterization of gain
from the sale of bonds purchased with market discount after April 30,
1993 are not considered income for the purposes of Tax-Exempt Fund's
policy of investing so that at least 80% of its income distribution is
free from federal income tax. Tax-Exempt Fund may distribute any net
realized short-term capital gains and taxable market discount once a
year or more often, as necessary, to maintain its net asset value at
$1.00 per share.
It is the current position of the staff of the SEC that a fund that
uses the term "tax-exempt" in its name may not derive more than 20% of
its income from municipal obligations that pay interest that is a
preference item for purposes of the AMT. According to this position,
at least 80% of Tax-Exempt Fund's income would have to be exempt from
the AMT as well as from federal income taxes.
Corporate investors should note that a tax preference item for the
purposes of the corporate AMT is 75% of the amount by which adjusted
current earnings (which includes tax-exempt interest) exceed the
alternative minimum taxable income of the corporation. If a
shareholder receives an exempt-interest dividend and sells shares at a
loss after holding them for a period of six months or less, the loss
will be disallowed to the extent of the amount of the exempt-interest
dividend.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund may distribute any net realized
short-term capital gains once a year or more often as necessary, to
maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per share. Treasury Fund and
Prime Fund do not anticipate earning long-term capital gains on
securities held by each fund. Tax-Exempt Fund does not anticipate
distributing long-term capital gains.
As of the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, Prime Fund had a
capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately $792,000. The loss
carryforward for Prime Fund, of which $33,000, $125,000, $584,000,
$48,000, and $2,000 will expire on October 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,
and 2005, respectively, is available to offset future capital gains.
Of the loss carryforward expiring in 2000, $26,000 was acquired in the
merger of Capital Reserves: Money Market Portfolio and is available to
offset future capital gains of Prime Fund to the extent provided by
regulations.
As of the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, Treasury Fund had a
capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately $433,000 which
will expire on October 31, 2001. Of the loss carryforward expiring in
2001, $15,000 was acquired in the merger of Capital Reserves: U.S.
Government Portfolio and is available to offset future capital gains
of Treasury Fund to the extent provided by regulations.
As of the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, Tax-Exempt Fund had a
capital loss carryforward aggregating approximately $124,000. The loss
carryforward for Tax-Exempt Fund, of which $2,000, $2,000, $29,000,
$15,000, $1,000, $72,000, and $3,000 will expire on October 31, 1998,
1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively, is available to
offset future capital gains. Of the loss carryforwards expiring in
1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2003, $2,000, $2,000, $5,000, $15,000, and
$1,000, respectively, were acquired in the merger of Capital Reserves:
Municipal Money Market Portfolio and is available to offset future
capital gains of Tax-Exempt Fund to the extent provided by
regulations.
STATE AND LOCAL TAX ISSUES. For mutual funds organized as business
trusts, state law provides for a pass-through of the state and local
income tax exemption afforded to direct owners of U.S. Government
securities. Some states limit this to mutual funds that invest a
certain amount in U.S. Government securities, and some types of
securities, such as repurchase agreements and some agency backed
securities, may not qualify for this benefit. The tax treatment of
your dividend distributions from a fund will be the same as if you
directly owned your proportionate share of the U.S. Government
securities in the fund's portfolio. Because the income earned on most
U.S. Government securities in which a fund invests is exempt from
state and local income taxes, the portion of your dividends from the
fund attributable to these securities will also be free from income
taxes. The exemption from state and local income taxation does not
preclude states from assessing other taxes on the ownership of U.S.
Government securities. In a number of states, corporate franchise
(income) tax laws do not exempt interest earned on U.S. Government
securities whether such securities are held directly or through a
fund.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments
may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to
foreign securities. If, at the close of its fiscal year, more than 50%
of a fund's total assets are invested in securities of foreign
issuers, the fund may elect to pass through foreign taxes paid and
thereby allow shareholders to take a credit or deduction on their
individual tax returns.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company
and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund
level, each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net
investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar
year as well as on a fiscal year basis and intends to comply with
other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.
Each fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of its
respective Trust for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be
subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may
be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors
should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is
suitable to their particular tax situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures
for personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For
example, all personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance,
and participation in initial public offerings is prohibited. In
addition, restrictions on the timing of personal investing in relation
to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term trading have been
adopted.

F For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 , certain of the
non-interested Trustees' aggregate compensation from the fund includes
accrued voluntary deferred compensation as follows: Edward H.
Malone, $131 and Thomas R. Williams, $352.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988 and modified in
November 1995 and November 1996, each non-interested Trustee who
retired before December 30, 1996 may receive payments from a Fidelity
fund during his or her lifetime based on his or her basic trustee fees
and length of service. The obligation of a fund to make such payments
is neither secured nor funded. A Trustee became eligible to
participate in the program at the end of the calendar year in which he
or she reached age 72, provided that, at the time of retirement, he or
she had served as a Fidelity fund Trustee for at least five years.
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested
in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each
major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's
assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately
received by the Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the
investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in
accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's
assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a
fund to retain the services of any Trustee or to pay any particular
level of compensation to the Trustee. A fund may invest in the
Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.
As of December 30, 1996, the non-interested Trustees terminated the
retirement program for Trustees who retire after such date. In
connection with the termination of the retirement program, each
then-existing non-interested Trustee received a credit to his or her
Plan account equal to the present value of the estimated benefits that
would have been payable under the retirement program. The amounts
credited to the non-interested Trustees' Plan accounts are subject to
vesting and are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been
invested in shares of the Reference Funds. The amounts ultimately
received by the Trustees in connection with the credits to their Plan
accounts will be directly linked to the investment performance of the
Reference Funds. The termination of the retirement program and related
crediting of estimated benefits to the Trustees' Plan accounts did not
result in a material cost to the funds.
As of November 30, 1997, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory
Board, and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1%
of each fund's total outstanding shares.
As of November 30, 1997, the following owned of record or

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
FMR is manager of Prime Fund, Treasury Fund and Tax-Exempt Fund
pursuant to management contracts dated May 30, 1997, which were
approved by shareholders of each fund on May 9, 1997.
Prior to May 30, 1997, FMR was each fund's manager pursuant to
management contracts dated September 30, 1993 for Prime Fund and
Treasury Fund, and December 30, 1991 for Tax-Exempt Fund, which were
approved by shareholders of Prime Fund and Treasury Fund on March 24,
1993 and shareholders of Tax-Exempt Fund on October 31, 1991.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Each fund employs FMR to furnish investment
advisory and other services. Under the terms of its management
contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject
to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments
of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and
limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of each
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters, and other persons dealing with each fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the
registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, and pricing and bookkeeping agent each
fund or each class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its expenses
that are not assumed by those parties. Each fund pays for the
typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to
shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor
and non-interested Trustees. Each fund's management contract further
provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing
prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and
reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of each fund's
transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of
providing these services to existing shareholders of the applicable
classes. Other expenses paid by each fund, or each class thereof, as
applicable, include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. Each fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEES. For the services of FMR under each management
contract, each fund pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual
rate of 0.25% of its average net assets throughout the month.
The following table shows the amount of management fees paid by each
fund to FMR for the past three fiscal years.

year-end of Prime Fund and Treasury Fund changed from July 31 to
October 31 in October 1996.
** Before reimbursement; m anagement fees paid to FMR reflect
the management fee rate of 0.50% that was in effect for each fund
prior to May 31, 1997. Only a portion of this fee was retained by FMR.
The remainder was paid to FDC in connection with each fund's
Distribution and Service Plan. For the fiscal year ended October
31, 1997, management fees reflect a management fee rate of 0.50% that
was in effect prior to May 31, 1997 as well as a management fee rate
of 0.25% that was in effect from May 31, 1997 to October 31, 1997.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
a class's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses). FMR retains the ability to
be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses
fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a class's total returns
and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a class will lower
its total returns and yield.
During the past three fiscal periods, FMR voluntarily agreed, subject
to revision or termination, to reimburse certain of the classes if and
to the extent that its aggregate operating expenses, including
management fees, were in excess of an annual rate of its average net
assets. The tables below show the periods of reimbursement and levels
of expense limitations for the applicable classes; the dollar amount
of management fees incurred under each fund's contract before
reimbursement; and the dollar amount of management fees reimbursed by
FMR under the expense reimbursement for each period.

SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR
Texas pursuant to which FMR Texas has primary responsibility for
providing portfolio investment management services to the funds.
Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, dated May 30, 1997 for
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund and approved by Daily Money Fund as the
then sole shareholder of each fund in conjunction with an agreement
and plan of reorganization approved by shareholders of each fund on
May 9, 1997, and dated December 30, 1991 for Tax-Exempt Fund and
approved by shareholders on October 23, 1991, FMR pays FMR Texas fees
equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management
contract with each fund. For Prime Fund and Treasury Fund, aside from
reflecting each fund's reorganization from one Delaware business trust
to another, each contract is substantially identical to each fund's
prior contract dated September 30, 1993 and approved by shareholders
on March 24, 1993. The fees paid to FMR Texas are not reduced by any
voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect
from time to time.

service fees of $ 57,449 , $ 16,950 , $ 25,397 and
$ 11,949 , respectively, all of which was paid to investment

Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits, or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of the
applicable class's shares, including payments made to third parties
that engage in the sale of the applicable class's shares or to third
parties, including banks, that render shareholder support services.
Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments.
Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan,
and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the
Plan will benefit the applicable class of each fund and its
shareholders. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater
flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares of the
applicable class, additional sales of fund shares may result.
Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more
effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders
have other relationships.
The Plans do not provide for specific payments by the applicable class
of any of the expenses of FDC, or obligate FDC or FMR to perform any
specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any
specific level of expense in connection with distribution activities.
After payments by FDC for advertising, marketing and distribution, and
payments to third parties, the amounts remaining, if any, may be used
as FDC may elect.
The Daily Money Class Plans were approved by shareholders of each fund
on May 9, 1997 and the Advisor B Class Plan was approved by
shareholders of Treasury Fund on May 9, 1997.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling, or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the funds might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.
Independent of the Capital Reserves Class Plans and Daily Money Class
Plans, intermediaries that maintain an average balance of $10 million
or more in a single omnibus account may receive an additional
recordkeeping fee of up to 0.15% of the assets they maintain. The
recordkeeping fee will be paid by FMR or its affiliates, will not be
paid by the funds, and will be considered a servicing expense by FMR.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund have entered into a transfer agent
agreement with FIIOC, an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the
agreements, FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Each fund is a fund of Newbury Street Trust, an
open-end management investment company originally organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on July 16, 1982, pursuant to a
Declaration of Trust that was amended and restated on November 1,
1989. On December 30, 1991, the trust was converted to a Delaware
business trust pursuant to an agreement approved by shareholders on
October 23, 1991. The Delaware trust, which was organized on June 20,
1991 under the name Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund II, succeeded to the
name Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund on December 30, 1991 and succeeded to
the name Newbury Street Trust on May 30, 1997. Prior to May 30, 1997,
Prime Fund and Treasury Fund were funds of Daily Money Fund, an
open-end management investment company originally organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on June 7, 1982, pursuant to a
Declaration of Trust that was amended and restated on September 1,
1989. On September 29, 1993, Daily Money Fund was converted to a
Delaware business trust pursuant to an agreement approved by
shareholders on March 24, 1993. The Delaware Daily Money Fund trust,
which was organized on June 20, 1991 under the name Daily Money Fund
II, succeeded to the name Daily Money Fund on July 14, 1995.
Currently, there are three funds of Newbury Street Trust: Prime Fund,
Treasury Fund and Tax-Exempt Fund. The Trust Instrument permits the
Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the trust
or a fund, the right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name
"Fidelity" may be withdrawn. There is a remote possibility that one
fund might become liable for any misstatement in its prospectus or
statement of additional information about another fund.
The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of
each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject only to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund are segregated on the books of account,
and are to be charged with the liabilities with respect to such fund
and with a share of the general expenses of the trust. Expenses with
respect to the trust are to be allocated in proportion to the asset
value of the respective funds, except where allocations of direct
expense can otherwise be fairly made. The officers of the trust,
subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees, have the
power to determine which expenses are allocable to a given fund, or
which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the event of
the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each fund
are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is a business trust
organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders
shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal liability
extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit. The
courts of some states, however, may decline to apply Delaware law on
this point. The Trust Instrument contains an express disclaimer of
shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and
expenses of the trust and requires that a disclaimer be given in each
contract entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees. The
Trust Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's
property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally
liable for the obligations of the fund. The Trust Instrument also
provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any
claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the
fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no
contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and the fund is
unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the
above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is extremely
remote.
The Trust Instrument further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, shall not be personally liable to any
person other than the trust or its shareholders; moreover, the
Trustees shall not be liable for any conduct whatsoever, provided that
Trustees are not protected against any liability to which they would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
conduct of their office. Claims asserted against one class of shares
may subject holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you receive one vote for each dollar value
of net asset value you own. The shares have no preemptive rights ,
and Capital Reserves Class, Daily Money Class, and Class C Shares have
no conversion rights ; the voting and dividend rights , t he
conversion right s of Class B Shares, the right of
redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the
Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set
forth under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability" above.
Shareholders representing 10% or more of the trust or a fund may, as
set forth in the Trust Instrument, call meetings of the trust or fund
for any purpose related to the trust or fund, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose
of voting on removal of one or more Trustees.
The trust or any fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets
to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company or
series thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets.
Generally such terminations must be approved by vote of the holders of
a majority of the trust or the fund, as determined by the current
value of each shareholder's investment in the fund or trust; however,
the Trustees may, without prior shareholder approval, change the form
of organization of the trust by merger, consolidation, or
incorporation. If not so terminated or reorganized, the trust and its
funds will continue indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder
vote, cause the trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, or cause the trust to be incorporated
under Delaware law, so long as the surviving entity is an open-end
management investment company that will succeed to or assume the trust
registration statement. Each fund may invest all of its assets in
another investment company.
CUSTODIAN. The Bank of New York, 110 Washington Street, New York, New
York, is custodian of the assets of Prime Fund and Treasury Fund (the
taxable funds). UMB Bank, n.a., 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City,
Missouri, is custodian of the assets of Tax-Exempt Fund. Each
custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and
the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. A
custodian takes no part in determining the investment policies of a
fund or in deciding which securities are purchased or sold by a fund.
However, a fund may invest in obligations of its custodian and may
purchase securities from or sell securities to its custodian. The
Chase Manhattan Bank headquartered in New York, also may serve as a
special purpose custodian of certain assets of the taxable funds in
connection with repurchase agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the
Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with
various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds
advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of
FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.
AUDITORS. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. , One Post Office Square,
Boston, Massachusetts serves as Prime Fund's and Treasury Fund's
independent accountant. Price Waterhouse LLP , 160 Federal
Street, Boston, Massachusetts serves as Tax-Exempt Fund's
independent accountant. The auditors examine financial statements for
the funds and provides other audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 and reports of the auditors, are
included in the funds' Annual Report, which is a separate report
supplied with this SAI. The funds' financial statements, including the
financial highlights, and reports of the auditors are incorporated
herein by reference. For a free additional copy of the funds' Annual
Report, contact Client Services at 1-800-843-3001, 82 Devonshire

APPENDIX
The descriptions that follow are examples of eligible ratings for the
funds. A fund may, however, consider the ratings for other types of
investments and the ratings assigned by other rating organizations
when determining the eligibility of a particular investment.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL
OBLIGATIONS
Moody's ratings for short-term municipal obligations will be
designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). A two-component rating is
assigned to variable rate demand obligations. The first component
represents an evaluation of the degree of risk associated with
scheduled principal repayment and interest payments and is designated
by a long-term rating, e.g., "Aaa" or "A." The second component
represents an evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the
demand feature and is designated "VMIG."
MIG 1/VMIG 1 - This designation denotes best quality. There is
present strong protection by established cash flows, superior
liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market
for refinancing.
MIG 2/VMIG 2 - This designation denotes high quality. Margins
of protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding
group.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL NOTES
Municipal notes maturing in three years or less will likely receive a
"note" rating symbol. Notes that have a put option or demand feature
are assigned a dual rating. The first rating addresses the likelihood
of repayment of principal and payment of interest due and for
short-term obligations is designated by a note rating symbol. The
second rating addresses only the demand feature, and is designated by
a commercial paper rating symbol, e.g., "A-1" or "A-2."
SP-1 - Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Issues
determined to possess very strong characteristics are given a plus (+)
designation.
SP-2 - Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest,
with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over
the term of the notes.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE RATINGS OF COMMERCIAL PAPER
Moody's assigns short-term debt ratings to obligations which have an
original maturity not exceeding one year.
Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior ability for repayment of principal and payment of interest.
Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a
strong ability for repayment of principal and payment of interest.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS OF COMMERCIAL PAPER
Debt issues considered short-term in the relevant market may be
assigned a Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating.
A-1 - This highest category indicates that the degree of safety
regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess
extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign
(+) designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this
designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is
not as high as for issues designated A-1.

The Board of Trustees of Registrant is the same as the Board of
Trustees of other funds advised by FMR, each of which has Fidelity
Management and Research Company as its investment adviser. In
addition, the officers of these funds are substantially identical.
Nonetheless, Registrant takes the position that it is not under common
control with these other funds since the power residing in the
respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official
position with the respective funds.

Pursuant to Del. Code Ann. title 12 (sub-section) 3817, a Delaware
business trust may provide in its governing instrument for the
indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and
all claims and demands whatsoever. Article X, Section 10.02 of the
Trust Instrument states that the Registrant shall indemnify any
present trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law
against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her
in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he
or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee,
officer, or both, and against any amount incurred in settlement
thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by
a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Registrant or
its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively,
"disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of
the Registrant. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may
be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the
Trust Instrument, that the officer or trustee did not engage in
disabling conduct.
