PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage of change in value, the average annual
percentage change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 1995 PAST 6 PAST 1 LIFE OF
MONTHS YEAR FUND
Emerging Growth 17.42% 21.98% 149.14%

Russell 2000(registered trademark) 11.70% 10.30% 122.15%
Average Mid-Cap Fund 12.21% 13.05% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, or since the fund
started on December 28, 1990. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would
be $1,050. Total return figures do not include the effect of the 0.75%
redemption fee on shares held less than 90 days. You can compare the fund's
returns to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index - a broad measure of
the performance of small company stocks. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the average
mid-cap fund, which reflects the performance of 102 mid-cap funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six
months. (Lipper recently changed the fund's peer group from small company
growth funds to mid-cap funds. This change allows the fund's performance to
be compared with other funds that more closely mirror its investment
objectives.) Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Emerging Growth Fund on December 28, 1990, and paid a 3% sales charge. As
the chart shows, by May 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have
grown to $24,166 - a 141.66% increase on your initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Russell 2000 Index did over the same period.
With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$22,215 - a 122.15% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Lawrence Greenberg, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Emerging Growth Fund
Q. LARRY, HOW HAS THE FUND DONE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Quite well. From December 1, 1994, through May 31, 1995, the fund
returned 17.42%. That beat the average mid-cap fund, which returned 11.09%
for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. For the 12
months ended May 31, the fund returned 21.98% compared to 12.96% for the
Lipper average.
Q. WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE?
A. In the second half of 1994, growth stocks began outperforming cyclicals
- - stocks in sectors like autos and steel that tend to rise or fall with the
economy. Since then, the economy has slowed and interest rates have been
flat or falling - a perfect environment for growth stocks. My strategy was
to concentrate on those companies that I felt had the fastest earnings
growth opportunities for '95 and '96. This aggressive position, especially
in technology, paid off handsomely when growth stocks rebounded.
Q. IN FACT, OVER 60% OF THE FUND WAS IN TECHNOLOGY AT THE END OF MAY. WHY
SUCH A HIGH PROPORTION?
A. Because that's where I'm still finding what I believe are the best
growth opportunities. Stocks in the technology sector, which is composed of
several different industries, are benefiting from the shift away from a
consumer-driven economy toward an economy focused on capital investments
and productivity. Plus, unlike a retailer, which can only grow as fast as
it can build bricks and mortar, a technology stock can grow at any rate. As
a result, the fund aims to own companies that are growing sales well over
100% per year. Business has been booming across most segments - from PCs
and software to semiconductors and networking. Demand has been strong from
both consumers and corporations. Finally, despite the fastest sales and
earnings growth of any stocks in the market, I feel that many of these
companies still have attractive valuations - prices compared to other
measures like earnings. But remember, I still choose my investments on a
stock-by-stock basis. It just happens that many of the stocks I think are
attractive are in the technology sector.
Q. WHERE DID YOU FIND THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES?
A. Across the board. I added new technology names to the fund, but I also
made bigger investments in the companies I have the most confidence in. For
example, I significantly boosted the fund's stake in both Microsoft and
Micron Technology. Microsoft rose over 30% during the period, and I'm
optimistic that the August launch of Windows 95 will keep its momentum
going. Micron, one of the few manufacturers of memory chips called DRAMs
that go inside PCs and other electronic equipment, saw its stock price more
than double over the period as demand outstripped supply.
Q. WHICH OTHER TECHNOLOGY NAMES DROVE PERFORMANCE?
A. Seven of the fund's top 10 names were technology stocks that turned in
excellent results for the period. Among them was Intel, which makes
microprocessors like the Pentium chip that are the brains of PCs; its stock
price rose more than 75% between December and May. The fund's biggest
investment, Oracle, benefited as more companies moved away from mainframes
toward client-server arrangements - PCs linked through networks. Oracle is
the leading provider of software for client-server set-ups. Of course,
there were also some disappointments like Sybase, a competitor to Oracle,
whose stock price fell more than 50% in the last six months as it ran into
problems launching a new product.
Q. IT HASN'T BEEN A GREAT ENVIRONMENT FOR RETAILERS. YET YOU'VE HELD ON TO
ABOUT A 12% STAKE THERE. WHY?
A. Looking back, I wish I'd had a smaller investment since retail sales
were so slow. But many of the "hard good category killers," which I focused
on, continued to grow through the tough times. These are superstores in the
do-it-yourself market like Home Depot and Lowe's; office superstores like
Staples and Officemax; and pet superstores like Petsmart. By definition,
the superstores offer more products at better prices than specialty
retailers - which has helped them gain market share. Still, some had
disappointing short-term results. For example, the fund owned Home Depot
and Lowe's, which both lost business this spring as heavy rains swamped
California and the Southeast.
Q. WHY DID YOU CUT BACK IN THE HEALTH CARE SECTOR?
A. The fund's health care stake was 2.7% at the end of May, down from 8.9%
six months earlier. During the first half of 1994, uncertainty surrounding
President Clinton's plans for health care reform had hurt the sector. Then,
last fall, the stocks rallied as it became apparent that health care
legislation would not pass anytime soon. But after the Republicans took
charge in January, they cast another cloud over the sector as they promised
to re-examine programs like Medicare. So I decided to watch from the
sidelines.
Q. LOOKING AHEAD, ARE YOU WORRIED THAT A SLUMP IN TECHNOLOGY STOCKS THIS
SUMMER COULD HURT THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Not really. Historically, technology stocks haven't done as well in the
summer months partly because European demand slows down as so many people
there go on vacation. Plus, there generally aren't many new product
launches in the summer; companies usually like to wait until fall so they
can benefit from year-end, holiday buying. But this year, since demand has
been so strong, we may not see a slowdown - or if we do, it may be much
less pronounced than it has been in the past and companies will just grow
through it. The long-term outlook for technology stocks seems to be so
favorable that I'd see a seasonal decline as a buying opportunity.
Q. DO YOU EXPECT A BUMPY RIDE OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. Possibly. I've taken an aggressive stance by heavily investing the fund
in what I see as the fastest growing companies, especially in the
technology sector. So shareholders should expect volatility, especially if
the technology sector or the market declines. If we do have a correction,
the fund will suffer more than other stock funds. But the fund is also in a
good position to benefit more than its peers from a long-term up market,
which I believe is the more likely direction.

LARRY GREENBERG ON
TECHNOLOGY'S GROWTH:
"Historically, the market has
classified technology stocks
as cyclical. But there seems
to be a secular change going
on both in corporate America
and globally in terms of
technology investments. In
the past five years,
technology has gone from 3%
to 5% of the U.S. gross
domestic product. It's
growing much faster than the
overall economy because
that's where America is
getting the biggest bang for its
buck as far as productivity is
concerned. Consumers are
also being drawn in by
tremendous price
improvements in the industry.
For example, if you spent
$2,000 on a PC three years
ago, it had one-tenth the
speed that a $2,000
investment could buy you
today. The fact that you can
run many more applications
- - like multimedia and
CD-ROM- makes the
package that much more
attractive to the consumer. So
we may be entering a period
where technology is
becoming America's premier
growth industry."
(solid bullet) Since less than 8% of the
fund's investments was in
foreign holdings, the fund
didn't benefit directly from the
dollar's fall. However, as the
dollar weakened, it helped
U.S. technology stocks to
become even more
competitive globally. The
United States regained its No.
1 position in semiconductors,
while continuing to lead the
world in advanced software
and networking equipment.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Emerging Growth fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Mt. Vernon
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange), are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days
of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions, foreign currency transactions, partnerships,
non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to
wash sales, and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain loss. Undistributed net investment income (loss) and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a
redemption fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. A
portion of the fee is accounted for as a reduction of transfer agent
expenses. This portion of the redemption fee is used to offset the
transaction costs and other expenses that short-term trading imposes on the
fund and its shareholders. The remainder of the redemption fee is accounted
for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to
foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's
investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell
can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value
of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $374,427,832 and $309,414,877, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2700% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%. The
basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared
to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .75% of average
net assets.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales
charges of $358,613 on sales of shares of the fund.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
During the period December 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, FSC received fees
based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of transactions
made by shareholders. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees
approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which FSC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and
type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $103,478 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$39,586 under this arrangement.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions with companies which are or
were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 1995 PAST 6 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
MONTHS YEAR YEARS YEARS
Growth Company 15.86% 16.02% 96.86% 362.58%

(incl. 3% sales charge) 12.38% 12.54% 90.96% 348.70%
S&P 500(registered trademark) 19.23% 20.19% 71.79% 290.51%
Average Growth Fund 13.79% 13.42% 65.35% 235.80%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one, five, or ten years. For
example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare
the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite
Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure
how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the average growth fund, which reflects the performance of 569 growth
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over
the past six months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Growth
Company Fund on May 31, 1985, and paid a 3% sales charge. As the chart
shows, by May 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to
$44,870 - a 348.70% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $39,051 - a
290.51% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Bob Stansky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Growth Company
Fund
Q. BOB, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the six months and year ended May 31, 1995, Growth Company returned
15.86% and 16.02%, respectively. That beats the average growth fund tracked
by Lipper Analytical Services, which had total returns of 13.79% and 13.42%
for the same time periods, respectively.
Q. WHAT SORT OF MARKET ENVIRONMENT DID YOU FIND YOURSELF INVESTING IN?
A. There's no question that the market backdrop has been very favorable for
growth stocks. The economy grew sharply during the past six months and many
companies have posted impressive sales and profits. In addition, the
weakened dollar has been a plus for some growth companies. With the dollar
down against the two biggest markets and currencies - the Japanese yen and
the German mark - a lot of strong growth companies have been able to
benefit since many growth stocks garner nearly 60% of their operating
profits from overseas.
Q. THE FUND HAS INCREASED ITS WEIGHTING IN TECHNOLOGY STOCKS FROM 32.6% TO
42% OF THE FUND. WHY?
A. I think that technology has the best unit growth of any industry in the
world. In the market sector of technology, which is actually composed of
several different industries, prices often fall every year and companies
have to work fast and furiously just to make up for the current year's
price cut. My investment philosophy hasn't changed and it's very visible in
the technology industry; it's all about unit growth and product cycle. If a
company has a good product, they tend to sell lots of units.
Q. WHICH TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES DO YOU LIKE BEST?
A. Intel, the largest holding in the fund, is a world-class manufacturer of
computer chips that I feel is selling at an attractive price. Intel's chips
are fast becoming the industry standard and I believe the company is strong
on product cycle. IBM is another company with attractive earnings growth,
and is 2.5% of the fund. The company has done a great job of cutting costs
and product demand is very good. As long as IBM can grow revenues and grow
earnings, 1995 and 1996 look pretty good.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PRODUCT CYCLE?
A. A company that's doing well in its product cycle is offering the right
products at the right time - products that customers want to buy.
Q. BESIDES INCREASING THE TECHNOLOGY WEIGHTING, WHAT OTHER CHANGES HAVE YOU
MADE TO THE FUND'S HOLDINGS?
A. I've cut the fund's retail and wholesale position in half. The retail
environment has been very sluggish despite the favorable interest rate
environment. Apparel, in particular has been suffering for some time with
more competition coming from discount stores. There has been a lot of
discounting and a lot of inventory on hand at the retail level. In
addition, retailers who have been expanding by 20% per year in recent years
have begun to cut their expansion plans to only about 5%-10% per year.
Therefore, I'm not too keen on retailing right now. I also cut the fund's
health care position by taking some profits in stocks that had rebounded
after concerns about increased regulation subsided.
Q. THERE AREN'T TOO MANY FOREIGN STOCKS IN THE FUND'S HOLDINGS. WHY?
A. While only about 3% of the fund's assets were invested in foreign stocks
on May 31, 1995, the fund is likely to own more over time. Most growth
market sectors - such as technology, finance and health care - have been
experiencing better growth rates inside the U.S. than outside during the
past six months. Although this won't always be the case, it's the reason
for the small foreign holding at the end of the period.
Q. WHY HAVE THE FUND'S SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS INCREASED FROM 3.7% OF THE
FUND TO 14.3% OF THE FUND?
A. First of all, my target is to have short-term investments of about 5%-8%
of the fund. I also raised cash levels by selling a large amount of the
fund's retail and health care positions. Since the market's been up
recently, it helped attract additional cash to the fund. Though I've
deployed some of the increased cash, I plan to invest much of it in the
next couple of months when the market is traditionally weaker, and I can
get better prices.
Q. WHICH OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTING DURING THE PAST
SIX MONTHS?
A. Lowe's, the home building supply company, didn't perform as I'd hoped.
Despite lower interest rates, housing hasn't turned around like I expected
it to. In addition, bad weather during the past six months in many regions
of the country postponed a lot of building. For these reasons, Lowe's
growth results were disappointing. Another example was Motorola. The
company issued more stock in the fourth quarter of 1994, and since then its
stock prices has been disappointing. Though the stock price is up a bit,
the stock's performance was well below the 17% increase in the market.
However, I still think Motorola has a potential for strong product cycle
and attractive unit growth.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. If interest rates don't fluctuate too much in either direction,
companies with a strong product cycle should do well. The companies that
this fund owns tend to be leaders in their industries, producing what
consumers want, when they want it. I intend to stay focused on earnings. I
think valuations appear reasonable for 1995 and 1996 as long as the economy
moves along at a nice steady crawl.

(checkmark)
BOB STANSKY ON INTEREST RATES:
"As long as interest rates
don't move too much in one
direction or another, they
won't profoundly affect what
this fund owns. Relatively
small moves in rates are not
nearly as important as how a
company is doing in terms of
producing products in a timely
and cost-effective manner.
"For instance, it could be a
bad interest rate environment,
but if there's a company with a
strong product cycle, it
should do well. A lot of
technology and business
equipment companies sell
products with three-year life
spans. After the equipment is
fully depreciated, businesses
are willing to spend again for
what they need - as long as
rates are within reason."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Growth Company Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Mt. Vernon
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not
readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates
of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income
receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of
foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation
proceeds, foreign currency transactions, non-taxable dividends and losses
deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss) and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to
foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's
investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell
can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value
of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $2,105,095,000 and $1,833,768,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2700% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. The
basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared
to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .65% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales
charges of $68,000 on sales of shares of the fund.
Effective January 1, 1995 FDC voluntarily waived the sales charge (3% of
the offering price) on the sales of shares through December 31, 1996.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
During the period December 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, FSC received fees
based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of transactions
made by shareholders.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised
transfer agent contract pursuant to which FSC receives account fees and
asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account.
FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $953,000 for the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions.
The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under
the most restrictive arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank
securities having a market value in excess of 220% of the total bank
borrowings. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as
revised from time to time. The maximum loan and the average daily loan
balances during the periods for which loans were outstanding amounted to
$5,105,000. The weighted average interest rate was 6.4375%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$172,000 under this arrangement.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions with companies which are or
were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells securities that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 1995 PAST 6 PAST 1 LIFE OF
MONTHS YEAR FUND
New Millennium 14.34% 21.24% 44.16%
New Millennium (incl. 3% sales charge) 10.91% 17.60% 39.83%
S&P 500(registered trademark) 19.23% 20.19% 29.86%
Average Capital Appreciation Fund 11.96% 11.92% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, or since the fund
began on December 28, 1992. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would
be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the
U.S. stock market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the average capital appreciation fund,
which reflects the performance of 157 capital appreciation funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six
months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity New
Millennium Fund on December 28, 1992, and paid a 3% sales charge. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown
to $13,983 - a 39.83% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $12,986 - a
29.86% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Neal Miller, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity New Millennium
Fund
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED, NEAL?
A. For the six months and one year ended May 31, 1995, New Millennium
returned 14.34% and 21.24%, respectively. That beat the average capital
appreciation fund, which returned 11.96% and 11.92% for the same time
periods, respectively, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE INVESTING ENVIRONMENT DURING THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. In a word, tumultuous. Over the past six months, there have been as many
different market opportunities as there have been weeks. For much of the
six-month period the major concern for equities pricing was whether we were
headed for a recession or not. Toward the end of the period, we saw a
reversal of long-term interest rates. Rates seemingly fell as swiftly and
surprisingly as they rose during 1994. Though the fund has performed well,
it's been a tough investing environment since the market hasn't
consistently rewarded stocks with strong earnings growth. Instead, the
largest stocks have been the best performers, and this fund isn't heavily
weighted in large-cap stocks.
Q. THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS HAVE GROWN FROM 29.9% SIX MONTHS AGO TO
46.7% AS OF MAY 31, 1995. WHY DO YOU LIKE THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR SO MUCH?
A. There are two general areas of the technology sector - which is made up
of several different industries - in which the fund is heavily invested.
One has to do with the fact that client-server computer networks - and not
the legacy mainframe systems - is where the future is. Computer networks
are coming of age and need to operate more efficiently. The fund has a
significant representation of companies that can work with on-site
databases to provide people with the kind of equipment and information they
need at their fingertips. Some of the fund's holdings, such as software
manufacturer Novell, are examples. The fund has its biggest technology
exposure to companies that are involved in the Internet. This is based upon
the belief that the Internet will take hold and become something like a new
"utility" for businesses, individuals and community organizations.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE INTERNET AS A NEW "UTILITY"?
A. I mean that its usefulness is beginning to be appreciated by businesses
and individuals, and it may reach a point where it will be as much a
necessity to modern, everyday life as the telephone. For example, it's a
fantastic tool for small-to-medium sized businesses to save time and money.
Since communications are instant, and go over local telephone lines, it's
possible for a small business in the U.S. to save money by making a "local"
call to Japan. Individuals also are finding useful applications in the
Internet. Many financial companies have their own Home Page on the World
Wide Web, which allows cyberspace visitors to pull up graphed cumulative
returns of the stocks they hold or are interested in. Other places on the
Web offer everything from sports results and statistics to on-line
entertainment. Also, many people are banding together in affinity groups
based on their interests. In the future, we'll probably see transactions
being made over the Internet which will contribute a great deal to its
status as a new utility. Though the fund's exposure to Internet
technologies is large, I think it's something that will be with us into the
new millennium.
Q. WHICH OF THE FUND'S HOLDINGS ARE A PLAY ON THE INTERNET?
A. I've taken the Internet strategy many steps further since the fund's
last report. U.S. Robotics, the fund's largest holding, dominates the data
access aspect of the Internet, aiding computers by converting a digital
signal allowing them to communicate over analog lines. Their product line
has begun to be transformed and there's been an upgrade in their product
mix. That is, they are selling more of their most expensive machines and
fewer of their lower-priced ones. Another holding, Adobe, through its
Acrobat product, enables the replication of printed material over the
Internet, and is another significant new holding that is Internet-related.
Finally, Bolt Beranek & Newman was one of the early Internet pioneers
selling services and voice recognition products.
Q. THE FUND'S HOLDING IN ENERGY STOCKS HAS NEARLY DOUBLED FROM 5.9% TO 11%
OF THE FUND. WHAT'S THE STORY THERE?
A. There's been a fundamental change in the energy exploration field:
profit rates are better. When there are technological advances in energy
exploration, they often result in decreasing costs for exploration. The
cost of finding oil drops more quickly than the selling price, making the
incentives to explore much greater. The fund is invested in companies such
as Schlumberger and Smith International, which have begun to offer new
drilling technologies. In addition, there's a high demand for equipment
since countries such as China and Vietnam have opened up for exploration.
Q. ALL OF THE STOCKS IN THE FUND'S TOP 10 HOLDINGS HAVE CHANGED. DID YOU
HAVE SOME DISAPPOINTMENTS OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. There are several reasons for the turnover. Some were disappointing
investments, while I've taken profits on others. Herman Miller, an office
systems designer and manufacturer, which was the fund's largest holding six
months ago, is now gone from the fund's top 10 investments. Recently, its
new products have been well received but not as profitable as originally
projected. I decided to reduce the fund's exposure because I thought the
stock should have been performing better. Acuson also was disappointing.
The company developed new ultrasound imaging equipment which enabled
doctors to send digital images at long distances, thus enabling them to
share resources. I thought the new product would help the company get out
of the slump it was in. Though there was great interest expressed in the
new technology, backed by a rich marketing backdrop, unfortunately, it
didn't translate into orders. On the plus side, I sold off much of the
fund's holdings in Bowater - a paper company - and the entire La Quinta
Motor Inns holding because each reached or exceeded the expectations I'd
set for them.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. Though its been a challenging environment for more than a year, I'm
optimistic about stocks going forward. I think that valuations are low in
historic terms and that the market will once again favor stock selection.
Though anything can happen in the market, I think the prospects look good.

NEAL MILLER ON THE EFFECT OF A
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ON THE
STOCK MARKET:
"An election year in which an
incumbent president is
running for re-election is
usually good for the market.
Because there's always
some slack within the
Federal government,
economic stimulus can, and
often is, exerted by the
empowered party to win favor
from voters.
"For the 1996 election,
whether it's a "soft landing"
- - such as the absence of a
recession or a rising interest
rate environment -
President Clinton will likely do
his best to create a favorable
environment in which to seek
re-election.
"Separately the
price-to-earnings ratios of the
overall market are currently
only about 12 times 1996
earnings, which is historically
low, and valuations are low.
In addition, long-term interest
rates are very low. I'll be
looking for a strong market
over the next several months
due to these conditions."
(solid bullet) The fund's holdings in
technology and energy were
increased during the period
while exposure to media and
leisure and health was
decreased.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity New Millennium Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Mt. Vernon
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not
readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign
currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC),
partnerships and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as
a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss) and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to
foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's
investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell
can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in
excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the fund's Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the fund
has committed to buy or sell is shown in the schedule of investments under
the caption "Forward foreign Currency Contracts." This amount represents
the aggregate exposure to each currency the fund has acquired or hedged
through currency contracts at period end. Losses may arise from changes in
the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform
under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement
date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is recognized on
the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on settlement
date. Contracts that have been offset with different counterparties are
reflected as both a contract to buy and a contract to sell in the schedule
of investments under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts."
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $237,266,309 and $273,664,371, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2700% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%. The
basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared
to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .85% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales
charges of $205,328 on sales of shares of the fund.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
During the period December 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, FSC received fees
based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of transactions
made by shareholders. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees
approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which FSC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and
type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $42,586 for the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $6,298,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 6.5625%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$27,684 under this arrangement.
