DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
U.S. equity indexes once again dominated the financial headlines, led
by the NASDAQ's 15 record highs in 21 November sessions. Meanwhile,
the Standard & Poor's 500 SM posted two record closings and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average crept above the 11,000 mark for the first
time since mid-September. However, another Federal Reserve Board
interest rate hike and continued inflation concerns drove down the
price of the benchmark 30-year Treasury.
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).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY AGGRESSIVE GROWTH 93.91% 372.53% 902.60%
Russell Midcap Growth 42.32% 197.27% n/a
Mid-Cap Funds Average 35.28% 158.92% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year average represents a peer group of 408 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
PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY AGGRESSIVE GROWTH 93.91% 36.42% 29.46%
Russell Midcap Growth 42.32% 24.35% n/a
Mid-Cap Funds Average 35.28% 20.35% n/a
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 November 30,
1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $99,662 - an
896.62% 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 $50,976 - a 409.76% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
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
Over the past year, the technology
sector turned the challenge for
equity market leadership into a
one-horse race, crossing the wire
uncontested while other segments of
the market struggled just to get out
of the gate. For the 12-month
period ending November 30, 1999,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market-capitalization-weighted
index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks
- - returned 20.90%. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a 21.20%
return during the period. Small-cap
stocks also rode the tech wave, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - helped
by its healthy 26% weighting in the
sector - returned 15.67% for the
12 months ending November 30,
1999. Spurring the technology
industry on in large part was the
Internet and all of its inherent cost
and productivity efficiencies. Even
the Federal Reserve Board had
trouble reining in the sector and its
influence on the vigorous U.S.
economy. The Fed's three
interest-rate hikes over the final six
months of the period - typically an
effective harness on the
performance of hot growth stocks
- - had little effect on technology's
momentum. Witness the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Index, which returned
71.64% during the 12-month
period, and which set a record high
in 71% of the trading sessions - or,
15 out of 21 days - during
November.

An interview with Erin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Aggressive Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, ERIN?
A. Quite well. For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 1999,
the fund had a total return of 93.91%. That outpaced both the Russell
Midcap Growth Index, which returned 42.32%, and the mid-cap funds
average as measured by Lipper Inc., which returned 35.28% during the
same 12-month period.
Q. THE FUND OUTPACED ITS BENCHMARK AND PEER GROUP BY WIDE MARGINS.
WHAT WAS YOUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS?
A. The fund benefited from simply focusing its attention solely on
those companies with the fastest earnings growth. Due to enormous
innovation and strong growth in the technology and telecommunications
markets, several companies experienced very rapid earnings growth
during the period. In addition, the low interest-rate environment
allowed fast-growing companies to maintain their high
price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios - reflective of the market's
willingness to pay more for a company that's growing its earnings
faster than the overall market. The fund was rewarded for its
significant exposure to the technology and telecom sectors over the
course of the period. Some good picks within the health care sector
also added appreciably to fund returns.
Q. WHAT WERE THE CATALYSTS FOR THIS STRONG GROWTH IN THE WORLD OF
TECHNOLOGY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS?
A. The Internet made tremendous strides, which in turn created
significant opportunities for companies with the products that
improved the speed and efficiency of this medium. Service-related
firms also benefited from providing customers with the infrastructure
capabilities they needed in order to move their businesses online. In
addition to its adoration for many of these high-tech names, the
market continued to embrace telecom firms, which were strong
beneficiaries of the growth of the Net and wireless voice
communications.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR OTHER STRATEGIES DURING THE 12-MONTH PERIOD?
A. I chose to take profits from a few of the fund's biotechnology
positions, seeking better valuations for stronger earnings growth
elsewhere. I found what I was looking for in some pharmaceutical firms
- - namely Warner-Lambert and Bristol-Myers Squibb - and stocked up on
them accordingly. On the other hand, I scaled back considerably on
retail stocks. Although delivering strong earnings growth, some firms
suffered from falling P/E levels, as the threat from well-financed
Internet start-ups raised questions about long-term growth rates. I
broadened the fund's exposure to the finance sector toward the end of
the period, adding some of the larger, more liquid names such as
Citigroup and Chase Manhattan, which were attractively priced relative
to their earnings growth.
Q. WHAT STOCKS WERE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTORS?
A. Exodus, the fund's top holding at the close of the period, was a
huge performer over the past year, driven by strong demand for Web
hosting - that is, providing server space and other Web-related
services to companies looking to do e-commerce, as well as large
enterprises looking to take their businesses to the Net. QUALCOMM, a
leading provider of wireless communications products, benefited from
advancing the delivery of digital voice and data. Brocade
Communications was a big winner in the realm of data storage with the
exponential rise in Net usage. America Online also added meaningfully
to returns.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DISAPPOINTED?
A. CVS recoiled in response to pressure from its online competitors.
Chip manufacturer Hi/fn declined sharply as two major customers
unexpectedly slashed their volume requirements and decided to work
down high inventory levels. I sold off the fund's position in Hi/fn
during the period. Two other stocks that hurt included At Home - a
cable modem service provider and Internet portal operator - which
wilted from increased competition, and computer hardware supplier
Ingram Micro, which fell far short of its earnings estimates. The fund
no longer held these stocks at the close of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. It's been a fantastic environment for growth stocks recently, and
there's still a lot of opportunity out there in terms of long-term
growth over the next several years. However, valuations remain a
concern for me, as certain stocks are trading at levels seemingly too
high relative to their revenue and earnings potential over time.
Therefore, I intend to remain focused on those companies whose
earnings growth is priced at an appropriate level, and whose products
or services are poised to further penetrate the marketplace.

ERIN SULLIVAN DISCUSSES
THE EMERGENCE OF THE
WIRELESS INTERNET:
"The Internet has become a
tremendous productivity tool for
corporations and consumers
alike. Companies today benefit
from the cost savings associated
with their ability to transact
business online, and from having
direct contact with their
customers. Consumers, on the
other hand, are empowered by
24-hour access to products,
services and information. The
next wave of opportunity could roll
in with wireless data. This new
technology is exciting because it
has all of the benefits of the
Internet as a form of
communication, with the added
advantage of being able to use it
anywhere. No longer will you have
to be tethered to a desktop for
connectivity, or a laptop with a
connection, to enjoy the
productivity improvements afforded
by the Internet. The interesting
thing is that even though
international acceptance of the
Internet lags the U.S., wireless
communications overseas is further
advanced, with many international
service providers already beginning
to roll out wireless data products. I
foresee the year ahead to be an
exciting one on a global scale. It's
not yet clear who the winners will
be, how different companies across
the world will align or how
partnerships will form. It is evident,
however, that the market could
experience quite a bit of volatility
as market share plays itself out
over time."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1999
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. 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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 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. Effective
March 20, 2000, the short-term trading fee will increase from .75% to
1.50%. The 1.50% fee will apply to shares redeemed on or after March
20, 2000, after a holding period of less than 90 days.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $15,585,652,000 and $10,347,629,000, 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 annual rate of .72% 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 annual rate of .21% 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 $437,000 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
5. SECURITY LENDING - CONTINUED
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 $675,091,000. The
fund received cash collateral of $724,458,000 which was invested in
cash equivalents.
6. 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
loans were outstanding amounted to $6,423,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.87%.
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 $1,101,000 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 $6,000 and $164,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
8. 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:

Shareholders of Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund (formerly Fidelity
Emerging Growth Fund):
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund (formerly Fidelity Emerging Growth
Fund) (a fund of Fidelity Mt. Vernon Street Trust) at November 30,
1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity
Aggressive Growth Fund's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November
30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
U.S. equity indexes once again dominated the financial headlines, led
by the NASDAQ's 15 record highs in 21 November sessions. Meanwhile,
the Standard & Poor's 500 SM posted two record closings and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average crept above the 11,000 mark for the first
time since mid-September. However, another Federal Reserve Board
interest rate hike and continued inflation concerns drove down the
price of the benchmark 30-year Treasury.
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).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY GROWTH COMPANY 60.17% 264.41% 596.96%
Russell 3000(registered 31.56% 255.25% 454.20%
trademark) Growth
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 20.90% 236.51% 415.33%
Growth Funds Average 27.23% 187.58% 344.65%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 and the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) - 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 one year
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. 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
PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY GROWTH COMPANY 60.17% 29.51% 21.43%
Russell 3000 Growth 31.56% 28.86% 18.68%
S&P 500 20.90% 27.47% 17.82%
Growth Funds Average 27.23% 22.97% 15.68%
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 November 30, 1989. As the
chart shows, by November 30, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $69,696 - a 596.96% 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 $55,420 - a 454.20% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
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
Over the past year, the technology
sector turned the challenge for
equity market leadership into a
one-horse race, crossing the wire
uncontested while other segments of
the market struggled just to get out
of the gate. For the 12-month
period ending November 30, 1999,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market-capitalization-weighted
index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks
- - returned 20.90%. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a 21.20%
return during the period. Small-cap
stocks also rode the tech wave, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - helped
by its healthy 26% weighting in the
sector - returned 15.67% for the
12 months ending November 30,
1999. Spurring the technology
industry on in large part was the
Internet and all of its inherent cost
and productivity efficiencies. Even
the Federal Reserve Board had
trouble reining in the sector and its
influence on the vigorous U.S.
economy. The Fed's three
interest-rate hikes over the final six
months of the period - typically an
effective harness on the
performance of hot growth stocks
- - had little effect on technology's
momentum. Witness the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Index, which returned
71.64% during the 12-month
period, and which set a record high
in 71% of the trading sessions - or,
15 out of 21 days - during
November.

An interview with Steven Wymer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Growth
Company Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. The fund posted an exceptional return, both absolutely and relative
to its benchmark. For the 12 months that ended November 30, 1999, the
fund returned 60.17%, almost doubling the 31.56% return of the Russell
3000 Growth Index. The fund's performance also compared favorably to
the 27.23% return of the growth funds average monitored by Lipper Inc.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTED FOR THE FUND'S OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE?
A. Good stock selection was the key, particularly in the technology
and health care sectors. In technology, the fund profited from
positions in fiber-optic components and equipment, communications
semiconductors, storage centralization and software. In health care,
the fund's returns were helped by its holdings in biotechnology and
small drug company stocks, which significantly outperformed the rest
of the health care sector. The fund's overall emphasis on
mid-capitalization and smaller-capitalization stocks also paid off, as
stronger-than-expected economic growth resulted in greater investor
confidence in the prospects for smaller companies.
Q. WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THOSE SUBSECTORS OF TECHNOLOGY?
A. Many of the fund's technology holdings were the stocks of companies
positioned to benefit from the ongoing construction of the broadband
communications network, which will allow telecommunications companies
and cable operators to provide users with high-speed Internet access,
video-on-demand and telephony. My interest in software stocks was
limited mostly to Internet infrastructure plays - that is, those
companies that make it possible for others to do business on the
Internet.
Q. WHAT CHANGES OCCURRED IN THE FUND'S HEALTH CARE HOLDINGS?
A. Overall, the fund's investment in health care stocks fell 4.6
percentage points to end the period at 18.2% of net assets. I cut back
on the fund's holdings in health care services and large drug company
stocks because companies in those subsectors seemed unlikely to
deliver the kind of outstanding, durable earnings growth I typically
look for. HMOs and other health care services companies continued to
struggle with the issues of rising costs and the increasing threat of
a class action lawsuit over the way they deliver their services. For
their part, large drug companies experienced an erosion in their
competitive position because of expiring patents on existing products
and a lull in the development of exciting new ones. I did, though,
increase the fund's holdings of biotechnology and small drug company
stocks, where prospects for growth appeared more solid.
Q. WHICH STOCKS WERE PARTICULARLY HELPFUL TO PERFORMANCE?
A. Medimmune was one of the fund's strongest performers. This
biotechnology company successfully launched its second-generation
vaccine for respiratory tract infections. In the fiber-optics
components area, JDS Uniphase did well based on strong demand for the
company's products and on investors' enthusiasm for the merger of JDS
and Uniphase, which positioned the company as a worldwide leader in
that industry. National Semiconductor was another strong holding. The
stock was helped when the company decided to refocus its efforts on
its rapidly growing, high-margin analog semiconductor business.
Finally, Network Appliance was a positive contributor. The company is
a leader in network-attached storage, a new way of storing data that
makes use of networks without the need for servers.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. One detractor was Philip Morris. Investors were disappointed when
litigation pressures failed to abate after the company's
multi-billion-dollar settlement at the state level. Humana - one of
the health care stocks I sold - was another disappointment. The stock
faltered when an anticipated merger failed and rising costs continued
to plague the company's Medicare business.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, STEVE?
A. One important trend appears to be a strengthening of key economies
abroad relative to the U.S. economy. In that situation, it would be
logical to position the fund in stocks, such as those in the
technology sector, that would benefit from accelerating global growth.
On the other hand, we face uncertainty for the market as a whole as a
result of millennium-related concerns. In addition, many of the best
technology stocks stand at high price-to-earnings multiples after a
strong run during the fourth quarter of 1999. I look for increased
volatility in the markets over the short term, but I would view any
declines as an opportunity to add to the fund's holdings of
high-quality stocks - in a variety of sectors - at favorable prices.

STEVE WYMER ON GENOMICS
AND NEW DRUG DISCOVERIES:
"Genomics is concerned with the
study and use of complete sets of
human chromosomes and their
associated genes. A complete
sequence of human genes has not yet
been identified, but such a project
is currently under way. Through the
insights provided by genomic
research, biotechnology and
pharmaceutical companies might
soon be able to develop new drugs
that are targeted to people with
certain genetic makeups. Another
hope is that drugs designed to work
at the genetic level will have more
powerful healing capabilities and
fewer side effects than the drugs
presently available, many of which
treat symptoms without improving
the patient's underlying condition.
"One development that has
researchers feeling optimistic is the
recent introduction of a new
piece of equipment designed to
increase the efficiency of the
gene-sequencing process by a factor
of 50 over what was possible before.
With the aid of this equipment,
experts are hoping that the
gene-sequencing project can be
completed within the next year or
so. Over the long term, the
implications of this achievement
for biotechnology and
pharmaceutical investments
should be profound, and I will
continue to watch these subsectors
carefully as this exciting research is
translated into commercial
applications."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1999
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 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 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 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.
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 $13,507,216,000 and $11,462,889,000, 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 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 annual rate of .51% 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.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
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 annual rate
of .21% 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 $1,252,000 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 $409,024,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$435,271,000 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 $1,959,000 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 $14,000 and $754,000, 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:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Mt. Vernon Street Trust and the
Shareholders of Fidelity Growth Company Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Growth Company Fund (a fund of Fidelity Mt. Vernon Street
Trust) at November 30, 1999, and the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fidelity Growth Company Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at November 30, 1999 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

DISTRIBUTIONS
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Growth Company Fund voted to pay to
shareholders of record at the opening of business on record date, the
following distributions derived from capital gains realized from sales
of portfolio securities, and dividends derived from net investment
income:
PAY DATE RECORD DATE DIVIDENDS CAPITAL GAINS
12/20/99 12/17/99 - $5.85
1/10/00 1/7/00 - $.95
A total of 100% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders.
The fund hereby designates 100% of the long-term capital gain
dividends distributed during the fiscal year as 20%-rate capital gain
dividends.
The fund will notify shareholders in January 2000 of amounts for use
in preparing 1999 income tax returns.
OTHER FUND INFORMATION
CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR. Based on the recommendation of the
Audit Committee of Growth Company, the Board of Trustees has
determined not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the fund's
independent auditor and voted to appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 2000. During the two most recent fiscal
years and through January 20, 2000, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's audit
reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor
were their reports qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between
the fund and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on accounting principles,
financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved
to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused
them to make reference to the disagreement in their report.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
U.S. equity indexes once again dominated the financial headlines, led
by the NASDAQ's 15 record highs in 21 November sessions. Meanwhile,
the Standard & Poor's 500 SM posted two record closings and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average crept above the 11,000 mark for the first
time since mid-September. However, another Federal Reserve Board
interest rate hike and continued inflation concerns drove down the
price of the benchmark 30-year Treasury.
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).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY NEW MILLENNIUM 81.31% 386.08% 512.85%
FIDELITY NEW MILLENNIUM 75.87% 371.50% 494.46%
(INCL. 3.00% SALES CHARGE)
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 20.90% 236.51% 267.00%
Capital Appreciation Funds 36.51% 172.31% n/a
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year average represents a peer group of 275 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
PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
FIDELITY NEW MILLENNIUM 81.31% 37.20% 29.92%
FIDELITY NEW MILLENNIUM 75.87% 36.36% 29.35%
(INCL. 3.00% SALES CHARGE)
S&P 500 20.90% 27.47% 20.65%
Capital Appreciation Funds 36.51% 20.11% n/a
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 November 30, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $59,446 - a 494.46% 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 $36,700 - a 267.00% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
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
Over the past year, the technology
sector turned the challenge for
equity market leadership into a
one-horse race, crossing the wire
uncontested while other segments of
the market struggled just to get out
of the gate. For the 12-month
period ending November 30, 1999,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market-capitalization-weighted
index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks
- - returned 20.90%. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a 21.20%
return during the period. Small-cap
stocks also rode the tech wave, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - helped
by its healthy 26% weighting in the
sector - returned 15.67% for the
12 months ending November 30,
1999. Spurring the technology
industry on in large part was the
Internet and all of its inherent cost
and productivity efficiencies. Even
the Federal Reserve Board had
trouble reining in the sector and its
influence on the vigorous U.S.
economy. The Fed's three
interest-rate hikes over the final six
months of the period - typically an
effective harness on the
performance of hot growth stocks
- - had little effect on technology's
momentum. Witness the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Index, which returned
71.64% during the 12-month
period, and which set a record high
in 71% of the trading sessions - or,
15 out of 21 days - during
November.

An interview with Neal Miller, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity New
Millennium Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NEAL?
A. It was a great year. For the 12 months that ended November 30,
1999, the fund returned 81.31%. That easily topped the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index, which returned 20.90% during the same period. The
capital appreciation funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc.,
returned 36.51%.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S STRONG SHOWING?
A. Two things: The market environment favored growth stocks during the
period, and the fund rode the coattails of the information age. As we
entered the period, prior troubles in Asian markets were fading, and
global liquidity - not to mention investor confidence - was on the
upswing. At the same time, stock prices in some areas, particularly
among smaller, faster-growing technology names, had declined and I
found some good opportunities there. Several of the fund's investments
in the Internet and wireless communications areas contributed
significant gains for the fund.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY WITHIN THE TECHNOLOGY GROUP?
A. Internet-related stocks continued to account for a big chunk of the
fund's technology positions. The fund's largest single position at the
end of the period was CMGI, the Massachusetts-based venture capital
firm. CMGI has been the launching pad for a number of well-known
Internet firms, including Lycos, and its stock continued to perform
superbly. The fund's stakes in Veritas Software and Brocade
Communications, meanwhile, reflected my attraction to the data storage
area. More people are sharing information across the globe, and the
demand for storage capacity has never been higher. Other Internet
stocks that performed well included Akamai Technologies - which
provides tools for faster and more reliable Web access - and
RealNetworks, the leading provider of audio and video streams for the
Web.
Q. YOUR DECISION TO LIMIT THE FUND'S EXPOSURE TO HEALTH AND FINANCE
STOCKS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A WISE ONE . . .
A. The lack of exposure certainly helped. My investing philosophy is
to look for companies that I feel can benefit from social and economic
trends. The social and legislative climate was unfavorable to health
stocks during the period, what with changes in Medicare
reimbursements, class action suits against HMOs and the general furor
over the rising cost of prescription drugs. I also tend to stay away
from financial stocks because the major variables that drive the
business are very difficult to predict - finance stocks are heavily
dependent on the direction of interest rates.
Q. DID ANY OTHER AREAS PROVIDE SOLID RETURNS FOR THE FUND?
A. Energy services stocks provided a performance boost during the
first half of the period. In late 1998 and early 1999, these stocks
were at considerable lows, mostly due to the plummeting price of oil.
Supply was up, demand was down, and the fund's positions in oil
exploration companies such as Smith International and Global Marine
were lagging. Our internal research, though, suggested that oil prices
would recover. When the price did indeed bounce back, these holdings
benefited nicely.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL STOCKS DIDN'T PERFORM WELL?
A. A couple of the fund's positions in road construction-related
companies underperformed. Six months ago, the legislative outlook for
roadwork spending looked good, and the fund's stakes in Martin
Marietta and Southdown reflected my optimism. Unfortunately, more
engineering and planning issues cropped up and the anticipated
building activity was delayed. As a result, both of these holdings
proved disappointing. Transportation company Union Pacific was another
disappointment, as the company's trucking arm endured a costly labor
dispute. Union Pacific's earnings profile, however, remained
favorable.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. One area that should continue to be lively is this whole effort to
move information along computer lines at faster speeds. The investment
in infrastructure in this area should present a number of good
opportunities. Also, as Y2K comes and goes, companies may re-allocate
the money used for Y2K budgets into improving their data storage
capabilities. That area also may continue to be fertile investing
ground.

NEAL MILLER DELVES INTO A
COUPLE OF INVESTING THEMES:
DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS: "I've
been attracted to the
analog-to-digital communications
move for some time, and the trend
just keeps getting better and
better. The demand for faster
wireless communications is
phenomenal. We all want to talk
with each other faster and send
information to each other more
quickly. Now, wireless handsets
are offering everything from easy
access to the Internet to local map
routes to real-time business news
from Bloomberg. Since about 40%
of the U.S. communications
infrastructure is digital-oriented,
there's still room to grow. As an
example, the fund's investment in
electronics retailer Best Buy -
which specializes in digital
products - performed well."
JAPAN: "I was intrigued by the
progress made in Japan. Japanese
investors are just beginning to
understand the power of equities.
If you took the typical Japanese
household, perhaps 60% of their
savings are tied up in low-yielding,
cash-like instruments. As some of
those instruments come due,
people may very well shift their

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1999
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 distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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 uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
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.
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 $2,586,485,000 and $2,471,860,000, 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 annual rate of .74% 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 $1,745,000 on sales of shares of the fund of which
$1,739,000 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 annual rate of .16% 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 $221,000 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 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 $257,127,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$274,668,000 which was invested in cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasury
obligations valued at $3,682,000.
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 $525,000 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 $10,000 and $20,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Mt. Vernon Street Trust and the
Shareholders of Fidelity New Millennium Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity New Millennium Fund (a fund of Fidelity Mt. Vernon Street
Trust) at November 30, 1999, and the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fidelity New Millennium Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at November 30, 1999 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.
