DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After its first-ever close above 11,000 on the first trading day of
May, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 450 points by
month's end. The Federal Reserve Board's shift in bias toward raising
rates to ward off inflation contributed to the decline. Government
securities followed a similar path during May, as expectations of an
eventual boost in interest rates drove the price of the bellwether
30-year Treasury consistently downwards.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

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. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

Mid-Cap Funds Average 16.23% 9.80% 124.83% n/a
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on December 28, 1990. For example, if
you had 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 Russell Midcap Growth
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of U.S. domiciled
medium-capitalization growth oriented stocks. To measure how the
fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the mid-cap funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 390 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund on December 31, 1990,
shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1999,
the value of the investment would have grown to $71,407 - a 614.07%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Russell Midcap Growth Index did over the same period. With dividends
and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $42,191 - a 321.91% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
With the Federal Reserve Board's
shift in bias toward raising interest
rates to combat inflation, U.S.
equity markets stalled - at least
temporarily - toward the tail end
of the six-month period ending May
31, 1999. Just six months earlier, it
was the Fed's willingness to lower
rates that helped U.S. stock markets
shrug off the ill effects of worldwide
economic doldrums, spurring a
continuation of their bullish
performance into the spring. For the
six-month period, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of
30 blue-chip stocks - returned
16.75%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ
Index rose 26.93% for the period,
while the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a popular performance
measure of U.S. stock markets -
returned 12.61%. For the month of
May itself, however, the returns for
all three indexes were in negative
territory, testament to the inflation
concerns of anxious investors. The
later stages of the period also were
characterized by a rotation out of
the recently favored large-cap growth
stocks, and into the smaller,
economically sensitive cyclical and
value stocks. What's more, the
previously beleaguered Russell
2000 Index - a popular
performance measure of
small-capitalization stocks -
demonstrated renewed strength,
soundly outperforming the S&P 500
during the last three months of the
period by a count of 12.28% to
5.48%.

An interview with Erin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Aggressive Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, ERIN?
A. It did very well. For the six-month period that ended May 31, 1999,
the fund had a total return of 38.93%. In comparison, the mid-cap
funds average as measured by Lipper Inc. returned 16.23%, while the
Russell Midcap Growth Index produced a return of 17.79%. For the 12
months that ended May 31, 1999, the fund posted a total return of
55.73%, while the Lipper average and Russell index returned 9.80% and
15.64%, respectively.
Q. THE FUND PERFORMED EXTREMELY WELL AGAINST BOTH ITS PEER GROUP AND
ITS BENCHMARK. TO WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE THIS STRONG SHOWING?
A. Much of the fund's success can be attributed to its substantial
overweighting in technology and utilities relative to its benchmark.
Specifically, I broadened its exposure to many of the faster-growing
names in the world of the Internet and telecommunications, which
boosted performance as growing demand for increased bandwidth and
end-to-end network solutions pervaded the marketplace during the
period. Favorable stock selection, most notably in the otherwise
underperforming health care sector over the past six months, also
boosted relative performance.
Q. HOW DID YOU APPROACH THE MARKET'S ROTATION AWAY FROM GROWTH STOCKS
INTO CYCLICAL HOLDINGS AND VALUE INVESTMENTS LATE IN THE PERIOD?
A. The fund was hurt by the market's shift in sentiment away from
growth stocks over the last two months of the period. This situation
placed even more importance on individual security selection and
fundamental research. As a rule, I will stick to the companies that
have superior long-term earnings growth potential rather than relying
on a cyclical, or economically sensitive, bet. It's tough to beat
earnings growth as an indication of stock appreciation over long
periods of time.
Q. WHAT STOCKS LIFTED PERFORMANCE?
A. Shares of RealNetworks - a software provider enabling the delivery
of video content over the Internet - soared in response to the growing
popularity of multimedia and entertainment on the Internet. America
Online (AOL) benefited from strong subscriber growth, robust
advertising sales and margin improvement. Qwest Communications, a
multimedia communications services provider, was also a strong
performer, capitalizing on the growing need for bandwidth and enjoying
wins in key service contracts, including the U.S. Treasury department.
The fund's largest holding, Exodus Communications, a provider of
Internet systems and network management solutions, rallied in response
to strong revenue growth and plans to further expand its
infrastructure throughout the U.S.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. Ingram Micro, a supplier of computer hardware, faced slackened
earnings due to competitive pricing pressure in the industry and
shifts and disruptions in the distribution channel. The fund no longer
owns Ingram Micro. PSINet, a high-speed Internet access provider,
suffered toward the end of the period as increasing interest rates
pressured high-valuation stocks, especially Internet-related companies
currently generating losses. Drug store chain CVS tumbled in response
to an industry-wide sell-off over concerns about the potential loss of
sales to start-up Internet drugstore providers.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I am optimistic. I feel that there are still a lot of exciting
opportunities out there, especially given the strong growth forecast
for communications over the next several years. Overall, I expect that
volatility will remain high given the expected increase in interest
rates and the fact that the fund will continue to own stocks with high
relative valuations. Technology stocks will not be immune from this
volatility, as a cloud of uncertainty will undoubtedly continue to
hover over the Year 2000 changeover. Notwithstanding, I will continue
to work hard trying to find those companies that will be the fastest
growers irrespective of market conditions.

ERIN SULLIVAN DISCUSSES
TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY:
"One of the big productivity
enhancers technology offers today
is the Internet, which creates
large, efficient marketplaces by
allowing buyers and sellers
worldwide to come together
equipped with up-to-date
information on product features,
prices and availability. This is
changing existing business
models as well as creating entirely
new models.
"One important advantage of the
Internet lies in how it responds to
the question of scale. The Web has
made it possible for smaller
companies to enter markets
previously unavailable to them
because they didn't have the
numbers in terms of personnel to
support the business. Without
barriers to entry, these companies
gain direct access to large pools of
customers, who they can
communicate with frequently via
the Internet as they focus on
brand building, and strive to win
market share at the expense of
their traditional large-company
counterparts. The Internet and its
profound impact on how people
communicate and how companies
transact business is what's driving
technology today.
"As a technology investor, it is
crucial that I stay on top of trends.
The Internet has made this a more
formidable task by changing the
time frame in which trends develop.
In the past, product cycles and
market-share gains would take
years to materialize. Today, they
can happen in months, or even
weeks. The emergence of this
brave new world presents many
new challenges and opportunities."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund (the fund) (formerly Fidelity Emerging
Growth 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, as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which require
management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of
the financial statements. 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available 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 foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
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
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (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
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
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,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .75% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the
fund, 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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $5,434,071,000 and $3,948,965,000, 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 .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%. 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 basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
annualized rate of .76% of average net assets after the performance
adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. 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. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .22% of average net assets.
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 $183,000 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. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
the loan was outstanding amounted to $7,296,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.25%.
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 $419,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $3,000 and $55,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
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 during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After its first-ever close above 11,000 on the first trading day of
May, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 450 points by
month's end. The Federal Reserve Board's shift in bias toward raising
rates to ward off inflation contributed to the decline. Government
securities followed a similar path during May, as expectations of an
eventual boost in interest rates drove the price of the bellwether
30-year Treasury consistently downwards.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you 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. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had 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 Russell 3000 Growth Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of U.S. domiciled growth oriented stocks and the performance of
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 1,115 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Growth Company Fund on May 31, 1989. As the chart
shows, by May 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown
to $56,396 - a 463.96% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Russell 3000 Growth Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 would have grown to $53,060 - a 430.60% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
With the Federal Reserve Board's
shift in bias toward raising interest
rates to combat inflation, U.S.
equity markets stalled - at least
temporarily - toward the tail end
of the six-month period ending May
31, 1999. Just six months earlier, it
was the Fed's willingness to lower
rates that helped U.S. stock markets
shrug off the ill effects of worldwide
economic doldrums, spurring a
continuation of their bullish
performance into the spring. For the
six-month period, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of
30 blue-chip stocks - returned
16.75%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ
Index rose 26.93% for the period,
while the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a popular performance
measure of U.S. stock markets -
returned 12.61%. For the month of
May itself, however, the returns for
all three indexes were in negative
territory, testament to the inflation
concerns of anxious investors. The
later stages of the period also were
characterized by a rotation out of
the recently favored large-cap growth
stocks, and into the smaller,
economically sensitive cyclical and
value stocks. What's more, the
previously beleaguered Russell
2000 Index - a popular
performance measure of
small-capitalization stocks -
demonstrated renewed strength,
soundly outperforming the S&P 500
during the last three months of the
period by a count of 12.28% to
5.48%.

An interview with Steven Wymer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Growth
Company Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. Fund performance was strong. For the six months that ended May 31,
1999, the fund returned 18.42%. In comparison, the Russell 3000 Growth
Index returned 12.85% during the same period. The fund also outpaced
the 13.69% return for the growth funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1999, the fund posted a total
return of 28.62%, beating both the Russell 3000 Growth Index and the
Lipper peer group, which returned 24.16% and 16.23%, respectively.
Q. WHAT WERE THE PRIMARY FACTORS BEHIND THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. The two industries that stood out were telecommunications and
health care. The fund was overweighted in both of these sectors
relative to the index, and stock selection within these industries
contributed positively to the fund's performance. The fund's holdings
in emerging long-distance companies, such as Qwest, Level 3 and
Frontier Corp., all performed very well during the period. On the
health care front, the fund increased its existing positions in
smaller-cap pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, which posted
strong results during the period.
Q. WHY DID YOU OVERWEIGHT TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY
COMPANIES?
A. In light of the looming Year 2000 computer-related concerns, I
moved fund assets out of PC manufacturers and suppliers and into
communications services and equipment companies. Many of the emerging
telecommunications companies I mentioned earlier, along with companies
such as MCI WorldCom, cable operator MediaOne and fiber optic parts
companies, exhibited compelling growth outlooks. Consequently, the
market pushed their stock prices higher. In the health care arena, I
increased the fund's holdings in biotechnology companies such as
Medimmune and Biogen because they offered stronger revenue growth and
more promising investment results than large-cap pharmaceutical
stocks, many of which suffered from the potential loss of patent
protection and increased competition.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DIDN'T WORK OUT AS WELL AS EXPECTED?
A. Sepracor was one of the biggest detractors from performance. The
company, which develops enhanced versions of existing, widely sold
pharmaceuticals, experienced a short-term setback when Johnson &
Johnson pulled out of an existing partnership. CKE Restaurant, Inc.,
which is no longer a fund holding, also hurt performance. The company
was showing signs of turning around its Carl's Jr. and Hardee's
franchises, but unfortunately results weakened, in part due to
stronger execution at McDonald's. Another holding that I sold off
during the period, but that hurt performance, was Rambus, Inc. Shares
of this semiconductor company came under pressure when investors
became concerned about possible delays in their new product launch.
Q. WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE FUND'S TOP HOLDINGS DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. Dell, Pepsi and Philip Morris dropped out of the fund's top 10
holdings largely because of their weak stock performance. Concerns
about weak product demand hurt shares of Dell and Pepsi. Philip Morris
shares continued to stumble under the weight of ongoing litigation
problems. On the other hand, I added to the fund's positions in
Corning, Biogen, Nike and National Semiconductor because these
companies exhibited either strong business fundamentals or brighter
earnings outlooks.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. It's difficult to envision the U.S. economy getting much stronger
from here. While corporate productivity continues to improve, the U.S.
labor market is very tight. In contrast to the U.S. economy, the
global economy seems to have the potential to rebound and accelerate
from its financial doldrums. In response, we've started to see the
market rotate out of the safety of the top 30 blue-chip companies and
into a broader range of industries and companies that stand to benefit
from an improving global economy. It may be too early to predict
whether this trend will continue, but it's something I will be
tracking very closely.

STEVE WYMER DISCUSSES HIS
OUTLOOK FOR INTERNET STOCKS:
"No doubt, the Internet offers some
tremendous business and long-term
growth opportunities for companies
and investors. The difficulty is in
determining which businesses will
run out of gas on the information
superhighway and which will
command a dominant market
position given the rapid pace of
change. Even with a promising
future for many companies, I am
concerned about a number of
issues: Stock valuations are
unprecedented in many cases;
investor sentiment, while volatile,
seems to be overly positive; and
there is a huge number of new
issues that have come or are
scheduled to come to market.
Historically, the short-term
outlook for an industry is not
favorable when IPOs and
secondary offerings are so
widespread, because this
environment can lead to excess
supply both in industry
participants and shares on the
market. While the recent pullback
from the April highs in Internet
stocks may have created some
buying opportunities, the stocks
still have very high valuations on
the surface. As a result, I view it as
a good time to update my analysis
regularly and conduct extensive
research in order to find attractive
short-term and long-term
investment opportunities in
current and future leaders in this
fast growing field."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1999 (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 financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which require
management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of
the financial statements. 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available 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 foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as
soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash
dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the
fair market value of the securities received. 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
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (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
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
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 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.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $5,774,083,000 and $5,710,487,000, 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 .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized
rate of .43% of average net assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. 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. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .22% of average net assets.
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 $871,000 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 $881,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $9,000 and $351,000, respectively, under these
arrangements.
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 during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After its first-ever close above 11,000 on the first trading day of
May, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 450 points by
month's end. The Federal Reserve Board's shift in bias toward raising
rates to ward off inflation contributed to the decline. Government
securities followed a similar path during May, as expectations of an
eventual boost in interest rates drove the price of the bellwether
30-year Treasury consistently downwards.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you 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. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on December 28, 1992. For example, if
you had 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 500
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the capital appreciation funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 281 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity New Millennium Fund on December 28, 1992, when
the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $48,217 - a 382.17% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 would have grown to $34,184 - a 241.84% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
With the Federal Reserve Board's
shift in bias toward raising interest
rates to combat inflation, U.S.
equity markets stalled - at least
temporarily - toward the tail end
of the six-month period ending May
31, 1999. Just six months earlier, it
was the Fed's willingness to lower
rates that helped U.S. stock markets
shrug off the ill effects of worldwide
economic doldrums, spurring a
continuation of their bullish
performance into the spring. For the
six-month period, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of
30 blue-chip stocks - returned
16.75%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ
Index rose 26.93% for the period,
while the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a popular performance
measure of U.S. stock markets -
returned 12.61%. For the month of
May itself, however, the returns for
all three indexes were in negative
territory, testament to the inflation
concerns of anxious investors. The
later stages of the period also were
characterized by a rotation out of
the recently favored large-cap growth
stocks, and into the smaller,
economically sensitive cyclical and
value stocks. What's more, the
previously beleaguered Russell
2000 Index - a popular
performance measure of
small-capitalization stocks -
demonstrated renewed strength,
soundly outperforming the S&P 500
during the last three months of the
period by a count of 12.28% to
5.48%.

An interview with Neal Miller, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity New
Millennium Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NEAL?
A. It was a strong period. For the six months that ended May 31, 1999,
the fund returned 47.06%. This easily beat the Standard & Poor's 500
Index, which returned 12.61% during that time, as well as the capital
appreciation funds average, which returned 17.09% according to Lipper
Inc. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1999, the fund returned
55.62%, while the S&P 500 and Lipper group returned 21.03% and 17.54%,
respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED THE FUND POST SUCH A SOLID SHOWING?
A. One major factor was that the group of stocks in which the fund
typically invests - small- and mid-cap growth names - performed well.
This was a notable departure from past periods, where a narrow band of
large-cap stocks had accounted for much of the market's gains. From a
portfolio standpoint, the fund also benefited from good sector and
individual stock selection, particularly within the technology, energy
service and biotechnology groups. Lastly, an underweighting in finance
stocks - relative to the S&P 500 index - contributed positively.
Q. TECHNOLOGY STOCKS LED THE MARKET THROUGH THE LAST SIX MONTHS. WHAT
TYPES OF COMPANIES HELPED THE FUND THE MOST?
A. The fund received a big boost from its Internet-related holdings.
As investors who have held the fund for a while may know, I've been
bullish on the Internet since it started and was able to identify some
good companies early in the game. While valuations within this group
have certainly become expensive over the past year or so, the constant
elements of innovation and surprise within the group appeal to me. The
fund's top two individual contributors, in fact, were Internet stocks
CMGI and RealNetworks. CMGI is a Massachusetts-based company that has
built a reputation as an Internet venture capital firm. One famous
offspring from CMGI's family is Lycos, another stock that performed
well for the fund. RealNetworks, meanwhile, has capitalized on the
burgeoning demand for live video and audio streams over the Internet.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY WITH RESPECT TO ENERGY SERVICE STOCKS?
A. Timing, the price of oil and improving industry trends played key
roles. In late 1998 and early 1999, energy stocks were beaten down
pretty badly, due mostly to near-historic lows in oil prices. Supply
was up, demand was down and the stocks of exploration and drilling
companies such as Smith International and Global Marine were
performing poorly. Our internal analysis suggested that the price of
oil would recover, however, particularly given the profile of the
significant depletion of energy reserves. As a result, I added to the
fund's positions in several of these stocks. Eventually, OPEC
announced that it would cut back on supply, the price of oil gradually
rose and these stocks benefited nicely.
Q. DID ANY STOCKS TURN OUT TO BE PLEASANT SURPRISES? WHICH WERE
DISAPPOINTING?
A. One idea that panned out for me was my decision to invest in VWR
Scientific Products. VWR specializes in providing laboratory supplies,
chemicals and equipment to the scientific marketplace, and its
business was strong during the period. In terms of disappointments,
the fund's stakes in technology stocks Micron Technology and Read-Rite
were detractors. Micron fell victim to poor trends within the dynamic
random access memory (DRAM) market, while disk-drive maker Read-Rite
lost a big chunk of its revenues when one of its largest clients
decided to switch to a new vendor.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. While this has been a breakout period for small- and mid-cap
stocks, I'm not sure the momentum can be sustained. Higher interest
rates - which most market followers feel are forthcoming - could take
a toll on smaller companies. In terms of the portfolio, I feel it's
well-positioned. I may look to bolster the fund's cement- and
construction-related holdings, because of increased road-building
activity, and also may continue to seek opportunities in Japan. As we
closed the period, Japan had shown some signs of economic improvement.

(checkmark)FUND FACTS
GOAL: long-term capital

companies that are likely to
benefit from social and
economic trends

NEAL MILLER ON HIS UNIQUE
INVESTMENT APPROACH:
"The fund's goal is to seek stocks
of companies that `are likely to
benefit from social and economic
trends.' In doing so, I first try to
generate ideas. I look through
hundreds of magazines on a
weekly basis to try to identify
potential candidates for the
portfolio. My ideas tend to reflect
social attitudes, product
development, or demographic and
legislative activity. For example,
my emphasis on
construction-related names such
as Southdown and Martin
Marietta Materials during the
period can be traced to the fact
there is legislative action on the
table to increase road
construction in the U.S.
"Second, I try to identify trends
and verify them through research.
An example would be the move
from analog to digital
communications over the past
couple of years. More and more,
people are searching for the best
in digital products - be it
cameras, televisions, etc. The
fund's investment in Best Buy, an
electronics retailer specializing in
high-end digital products, reflects
this trend.
"Because the fund invests in
smaller- and medium-sized
emerging companies, my investing
style can be called aggressive. My
approach frequently leads me
into the high-growth areas of
sectors such as technology and
biotechnology, but I'm also keenly
aware of the risk profile of the
fund. I try to offset this by finding
stocks with favorable valuations."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1999 (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. Effective the close of business on May 15,
1996, the fund was closed to new accounts. The trust is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business
trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available 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 foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend

INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. 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
among 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,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, non-taxable
dividends, net operating losses, 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.
Accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences that 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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are

marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,188,405,000 and $1,257,947,000, 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 .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%. 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 basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) 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 .73% 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 $902,000 on sales of shares of the fund of which
$896,000 was retained.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and

TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
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. For the period, the
transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .17% of
average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting 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 $145,000 for the
period.
5. INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM.
The fund participated in the interfund lending program as a lender.
The average daily loan balance during the period for which loans were
outstanding amounted to $57,261,000. The weighted average interest
rate was 4.85%. Interest earned from the interfund lending program
amounted to $ 54,000 and is included in interest income on the
Statement of Operations.
6. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund
negotiated lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income.
The fund receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral
against the loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of
the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each
loan. This collateral must be maintained at not less than 100% of the
market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan.
The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close
of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is
delivered to the fund on the next business day. At period end, the
value of the securities loaned amounted to $1,004,000. The fund
received cash collateral of $1,040,000.
7. 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 $236,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, The fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $1,000 and $8,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
