DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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 1-800-544-6666, 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.

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, 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 of U.S. corporations. 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 473 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has
created new comparison categories that group funds according to
portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as by
capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

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, 2000,
the value of the investment would have grown to $102,183 - a 921.83%
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 $60,636 - a 506.36% 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
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Bob Bertelson became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Aggressive Growth
Fund on February 14, 2000.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BOB?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund returned
2.53%, trailing the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which returned
18.95%. The mid-cap funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned
14.74% during the same period. For the 12 months that ended May 31,
2000, the fund returned 43.10%, while the Russell index and Lipper
average turned in returns of 43.72% and 33.79%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG BOTH ITS BENCHMARK AND ITS PEER GROUP DURING
THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund's overweighting in technology hurt us on both fronts. With
interest rates moving steadily higher in the spring, investors,
concerned about high valuation levels, dumped high-growth tech stocks
for more stability found elsewhere in the market. Unfortunately, the
fund felt the brunt of the selling, as the more expensive, rapidly
growing companies we owned tended to go down much further than the
comparably slower-growing companies that make up both the Russell
index and Lipper average. Having exposure early in the period to
financial stocks, such as Citigroup and American International Group,
and pharmaceutical companies, such as Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli
Lilly, also hurt.
Q. WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE SINCE TAKING OVER THE FUND IN FEBRUARY?
A. Not much has changed in the sense that we continue to pursue
companies with the fastest revenue and earnings growth. Once again, we
found what we were looking for in the swift-moving spaces of
technology, biotechnology and telecommunications. I raised the fund's
stakes considerably in these sectors, while significantly reducing the
fund's weighting in finance, an area that simply couldn't meet our
growth demands. Similarly, in health care, I shifted the fund's focus
away from large drug companies to faster-growing, seasoned biotech
names. During the tech sell-off, I increased the underlying
revenue/earnings growth rate of the portfolio, concentrating more
assets in those names emerging as market leaders.
Q. WHAT AREAS OF TECHNOLOGY DID YOU FIND PARTICULARLY APPEALING?
A. We intensified our focus on the top firms in the rapidly growing
wireless telecommunications market - namely Vodafone AirTouch, Nextel
and VoiceStream Wireless - firms poised to take market share away from
incumbent wire-line providers. The wireless industry continued to grow
at a steep rate globally and, with higher transmission speeds on the
horizon, I felt that functionality and the way people relate to
wireless devices could only expand. I added significantly to our
position in Nokia - the fund's top holding at the close of the period
- based on strong subscriber growth worldwide and the company's
dominance in the handset market. Finally, on the infrastructure side,
I added the top guns in optical networking, Ciena and JDS Uniphase,
gaining exposure to the multi-year changeover of the world's copper
lines to high-capacity fiber optics.
Q. WHAT STOCKS HELPED? WHICH HURT?
A. Exodus, a leading provider of Web-hosting services, was the fund's
top relative contributor despite correcting sharply in the spring.
Brocade soared on the back of its leadership position in fibre-channel
switching, a technology that links devices used to store vast amounts
of digital data. Scientific-Atlanta surged on strong demand for its
set-top boxes, or interactive television devices. On the downside,
Microsoft was a disappointment as the psychological weight of the
company's antitrust problems was compounded by a deceleration in
earnings and sales growth. The fund no longer held Microsoft at the
close of the period. Motorola slipped on weaker-than-expected earnings
related to falling margins in its wireless handset business.
Interactive programming guide company Gemstar was punished during the
tech correction - unfairly, I thought.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Going forward, a lot depends on whether the Federal Reserve Board
is successful in achieving a soft landing and a deceleration of the
U.S. economy, or whether it has to be more aggressive and raise
interest rates further. If the economy moderates and inflation remains
subdued, growth companies we own should continue to prosper,
supporting robust sales and earnings growth rates. However, as always,
given the uncertainty that Fed policy introduces into the investment
backdrop, stocks are likely to remain volatile. We'll continue to
focus on the companies that are gaining market share and are playing
in large and rapidly growing markets, and we'll use periods of
volatility to increase the fund's positions in stocks we feel could
emerge as the long-term winners.

BOB BERTELSON ON
CONSTRUCTING A FUND PORTFOLIO:
"I look around the world, and by
virtue of the research I do, I begin
to get a sense for themes that are
emerging in the growth universe.
Once I've distilled a set of themes, I
begin to drill down - with the help
of the Fidelity research staff - to
identify a group of companies that
appears likely to emerge as winners
in their respective spaces. In doing
that work, we rely on our
interactions with companies as
well as the customers and
suppliers that do business with
these firms. We also consult
analysts from Wall Street firms
and beyond, hoping to uncover the
names that we feel have the
strongest upside potential. Finally, I
attempt to control
company-specific risks by limiting
our exposure to any given name.
"Because of our focus on the most
rapidly growing segments of the
economy, the fund's sector
diversification typically will be less
than with many other funds. And
since we're often investing in the
most rapidly growing companies
within a sector, the stocks we own
may be more volatile than for that
industry overall, possibly resulting
in much higher volatility than the
average growth fund. So, in any
short period of time, the fund could
decline substantially, often even
more than the market itself.
However, over the long term, our
hope is to generate superior
returns, fueled by the dramatic
underlying growth of the companies
in which we invest."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Aggressive 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, 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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, 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. Effective March 20, 2000, the
short-term trading fee increased from .75% to 1.50%. 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.
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, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR 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.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $1,884,000 or .01% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $26,233,137,000 and $19,388,063,000, 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 .2167% 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 .68% 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 .19% 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 $616,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount 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. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $339,616,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$349,384,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $2,257,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, 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 $5,000 and $389,000, 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:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.

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 growth-oriented stocks of U.S. domiciled corporations. 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 1,387
mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper
has created new comparison categories that group funds according to
portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as by
capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

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, 1990. As the chart
shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown
to $73,780 - a 637.80% 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 $55,528 - a 455.28% 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
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Steven Wymer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Growth
Company Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. For the six-month period that ended May 31, 2000, the fund returned
19.16%, more than doubling the 6.89% return for the Russell 3000
Growth Index. The fund also outpaced the 7.32% return for the growth
funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended May
31, 2000, the fund posted a total return of 61.17%, beating both the
Russell 3000 Growth Index and the Lipper peer group, which returned
24.62% and 20.08%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE?
A. The primary contributor was strong stock selection in the
technology and health sectors. The fund's focus on more aggressive
stocks in the faster-growing subsectors of technology particularly
benefited performance during the first half of the period, but
hampered the fund's return somewhat during the pullback in technology
stocks during the latter half of the period. However, the gains made
by several of the fund's technology holdings - such as Network
Appliance, Ciena and National Semiconductor - early on more than
offset the declines experienced during the second half of the period.
In the health arena, the fund's focus on faster-growing biotechnology,
genomic and drug discovery companies helped it outperform the
benchmark.
Q. THE FUND'S HOLDINGS IN HEALTH DECLINED TO 14.3% OF NET ASSETS AT
THE END OF THE PERIOD, FROM 18.2% SIX MONTHS AGO. WHAT WAS YOUR
STRATEGY THERE?
A. The fund was well-positioned going into the period, but its
holdings in the genomic and drug discovery areas moved too high, too
fast for my liking in the middle of the period. Additionally, with the
area having become overheated, a flurry of new issues and additional
stock supply entered the market, ultimately putting pressure on prices
for the sector as a whole. As a result, valuations in the sector
crashed. Before, during and after this pullback, I took some profits
in the fund's holdings while becoming more selective in the health
sector. At the end of the period, I hadn't yet redeployed the assets
back into the sector from earlier profit-taking.
Q. COMPARED TO THE INDEX, THE FUND REMAINED SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHTED IN
TECHNOLOGY, WHICH SUFFERED A SUBSTANTIAL CORRECTION IN THE FINAL
MONTHS OF THE PERIOD. HOW DID YOU HANDLE THIS DOWNTURN?
A. I tried to get more selective as tech-
nology stocks ran up earlier in the period. Later on when the market
turned, I added to some areas where the fundamentals of certain
companies looked solid, such as communications semiconductors, which I
discuss in my callout box on page 8.
Q. WHAT OTHER STRATEGIES HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. My decision to remain overweighted in selected utilities stocks was
beneficial, allowing the fund to strongly outperform the index's
utilities sector holdings. Positions that performed well for the fund
included Vodafone AirTouch and Nextel, both of which benefited from
industry consolidation and robust demand for wireless communications.
Q. WHAT STOCKS WERE KEY CONTRIBUTORS?
A. Network Appliance, a leader in the network storage area, benefited
from the trend to centralize and simplify data storage. National
Semiconductor, an analog semiconductor company, refocused itself and
added new products, a move that was positively received by investors.
PE Corp. - Celera, a leader in genomics information, benefited from
surging interest in sequencing the human genome, or genetic code.
Q. WHAT STOCKS WERE DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Microsoft was one of the fund's most significant detractors.
Setbacks in the company's ongoing defense of antitrust litigation
brought by the federal government hampered the stock's return. Novell,
a software company in transition, stumbled after it reported a
shortfall in sales and earnings.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Toward the end of the period, I thought the market's valuations
were relatively OK, while sentiment was favorable and investors
appeared to be cautious. Additionally, it appeared there was evidence
that the U.S. economy was slowing, which could put an end to increases
in interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board. With this in mind, it
will be important to focus on the fundamentals of companies to see
which ones can perform in a potentially slower U.S. economy.

STEVE WYMER ON
COMMUNICATIONS
SEMICONDUCTORS:
"Access to the Internet during the
past decade has been primarily
gained through the use of
personal computers. Now, in
addition to PC-based wire-line
communication, we're seeing
growth in wireless Internet
access. A number of factors
highlight this trend. First, the
number of wireless users is
growing at a rapid pace, adding to
the steady growth of wire-line
users. Second, there is increased
demand among wireless users for
faster transmission speeds.
Further, the demand for intense
computational ability is increasing,
as additional processes - such
as security - need to be executed
to proper standards.
"That said, a key enabler of wireless
transmission of information is
communications semiconductors.
As the growth of the Internet
accelerates, companies
specializing in delivering new
semiconductor products - such
as Texas Instruments, National
Semiconductor, Agilent, Xilinx and
Analog Devices - are among those
that could benefit most from this
expansion.
"Further accelerating this demand for
communications semiconductors is
the growing number of
communications equipment
companies - such as Ericsson, Nortel
and Cisco - that are buying
communications semiconductors from
other companies to speed up time to
market of their own products. Time to
market is critical for communications
equipment manufacturers because
product cycles are increasingly
getting shorter."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (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, 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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."
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 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, 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.
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
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
(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, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR 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.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $390,000 or 0.0% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $18,219,398,000 and $10,374,834,000, 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 .2167% 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
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 .67% 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 .18% 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 $551,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount 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. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $214,840,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$224,856,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $2,342,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, 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 $75,000 and $904,000, 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

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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 1-800-544-6666, 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 500SM
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 302 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

Average
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, 2000, the value of the investment would have
grown to $68,359 - a 583.59% 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 $37,766 - a 277.66% 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
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Neal Miller,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
New Millennium Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NEAL?
A. It was a pretty good period. For the six months that ended May 31,
2000, the fund returned 14.99%. This compared favorably to both the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index - which returned 2.90% during the same
period - and to the capital appreciation funds average, which returned
8.57% according to Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended May 31,
2000, the fund returned 41.77%, while the S&P 500 and Lipper average
returned 10.48% and 27.58%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. All things considered, technology stocks gave the fund a big boost.
Data storage-related companies - including Veritas, EMC, Brocade
Communications and Seagate Technology - performed particularly well.
Other tech areas that helped performance included wireless
communications companies such as Andrew Corp., and Internet equipment
providers such as Exodus Communications and Metromedia Fiber.
Semiconductor makers Applied Micro Circuits and Micron Technology also
fared well, as did several of the fund's energy-related investments.
The fund did not own positions in Seagate or Exodus at the end of the
period.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "ALL THINGS CONSIDERED?"
A. Technology stocks in general - which represented just over 53% of
the fund's net assets at the end of the period - suffered a dramatic
pullback in March, April and May, a move labeled by many as a pricing
correction. Since the fund's performance was highly correlated to the
fate of the technology sector, this volatility was a prime concern. I
stayed with technology because many companies - despite high
valuations throughout the sector - were still on track for solid
earnings growth. By the end of the period, they were beginning to
trade less on momentum and more on earnings expectations.
Q. WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE ENERGY SERVICES GROUP?
A. Our research showed the business profile to be very advantageous,
particularly for companies that specialize in drilling for oil and
natural gas. At the turn of the year, we analyzed the defining
fundamentals for the group - supply, demand and capacity - and
accurately predicted that we'd find ourselves in the tight crude oil
and natural gas supply situation that exists as we speak. While the
limited supply has caused frustration for many motorists - in the form
of exorbitant gasoline prices - it has put many exploration companies,
such as fund holdings Global Marine and Smith International, in a
solid position to benefit when capacity needs to be increased.
Q. GOING BACK TO TECHNOLOGY FOR A MOMENT, WHAT OTHER STRATEGIES DID
YOU PURSUE?
A. The concept of how FAST information travels and HOW it travels was
a theme. Without getting too complex, the flow of information across
networks traditionally has been facilitated by analog-based systems.
But fiber-optic networks - or digital-based systems - are quickly
becoming a more cost-friendly alternative. The cost of completing a
phone call, for instance, will be drastically lowered via a
fiber-optic network than through the traditional means. The fund's
investments in companies such as SDL Inc., Juniper Networks and JDS
Uniphase reflected this changing of the guard.
Q. WHICH STOCKS PROVED DISAPPOINTING DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Since much of the concern over high tech-stock valuations stemmed
from the Internet space, it stood to reason that CMGI - a company that
provides venture-capital funding for Internet start-ups - would have
difficulty. Also, delayed product launches and an earnings growth rate
that did not jibe with expectations hurt Emulex, a maker of network
storage equipment. QLogic, a leading supplier of adapter cards that
enhance the delivery speed of stored information, struggled as
investors questioned its pending acquisition of Ancor Communications.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The volatility in the market is perplexing in that the mentality
seems to be that the day you make a buy/sell decision is just as
important as the decision itself. On the other hand, the
technology-stock price parameters have changed, and the gee-whiz
factor for the dot-coms may have subsided. Maybe some of the
day-trading that has conspired to make this such an impulse market
will subside as well. Another factor to keep in mind is the
presidential election cycle and its effect on the economy. Since 1900,
the stock market has displayed a consistent pattern of strong
performance during an election year. Whether or not this holds true
for 2000 lies largely in the hands of U.S. monetary policymakers. In
terms of finding opportunities for the fund, I may test my
"self-indulgence" theory. People have done well with investments and
stock options over the past few years, and they may be ready to spend
more fun time with their families, buy a second home or take more
vacations. I may look at companies leveraged to these possibilities.

NEAL MILLER ON
TODAY'S STOCK MARKET:
"I've been managing money for
34 years, and it's hard to
remember a market that's posed
as many questions as this one.
What is the basis for equity
valuations? Where are we in the
economic cycle? What does Federal
Reserve Board Chairman
Greenspan want? What is good
news? Bad news?
"The challenges of this market have
made it difficult to rely on historical
patterns for answers. The markets
move up or down by 2% on any given
day, but it's important to remember
that there are no external obstacles
in our way. We're not witnessing the
collapse of a Third World country,
which we saw in Southeast Asia in
1997. We're not at war with anyone.
"As a manager, it's very easy to
loosen your convictions and modify
your philosophy. My feeling, though,
is that you don't change what you
believe in and what you're doing
unless you find out it doesn't work.
And I haven't felt that way yet.
"My experience tells me to err on
the side of conservatism.
Ultimately, the real guessing game
boils down to monetary and fiscal
policy, and until we know what
those are we should stay the course
and move forward. Ultimately, time
and patience will be the answer to
all of the above."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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 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), 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.
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.
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
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 for
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR 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.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,991,582,000 and $1,981,526,000, 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 .2167% 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.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $1,817,000 on sales of shares of the fund of which
$1,816,000 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 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 .13% 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 $60,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount 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. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $18,696,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$18,410,000 which was invested in cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasury
obligations valued at $1,253,000.
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 $283,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, 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 $8,000 and $29,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
