KEY FACTS
 
 
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund is designed for those who seek high current income, with some
potential for capital growth, from a portfolio of lower-quality,
high-yielding commercial mortgage-backed and other mortgage-related
securities. The fund's level of risk and potential reward depend on the
quality and maturity of its investments.  Since the fund invests in
commercial mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related
securities, including lower-quality securities, the fund has the potential
for higher yields, but also carries a higher degree of risk. The fund may
be appropriate for aggressive institutional investors who understand the
potential risks and rewards of investing in lower-quality securities and
are willing to accept the greater price movements and credit risks of these
securities.
The value of the fund's investments and the income it generates varies from
day to day, and generally reflects interest rates, market conditions, and
other economic and political news. When you sell your shares, they may be
worth more or less than what you paid for them.  By itself, the fund does
not constitute a balanced investment plan. 
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy or sell
shares of a fund. 
Maximum sales charge on purchases and               None   
reinvested distributions                                   
 
Maximum deferred sales                              None   
charge on redemptions                                      
 
Redemption fee                                      None   
 
Exchange fee               None   
 
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The fund
pays a management fee to FMR. It also incurs other expenses for services
such as maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder
statements and financial reports.
The fund's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are
not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses"
on page __).
The following are projections based on estimated expenses,  and are
calculated as a percentage of average net assets.
Management fee                              ___%   
 
12b-1 fee (Distribution Fee)                None   
 
Other expenses                                     
                                            .00%   
 
Total fund operating expenses               ___%   
 
EXPENSE TABLE EXAMPLE: You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment in the fund assuming (1) a 5% annual return and (2) full
redemption at the end of each time period:
      1      3                   
      Year   Years               
 
      $__         $__                                 
 
THESE EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATE THE EFFECT OF EXPENSES, BUT ARE NOT MEANT TO
SUGGEST ACTUAL OR EXPECTED COSTS OR RETURNS, ALL OF WHICH MAY VARY.
PERFORMANCE
This section would normally show how the fund has performed over time. 
Because the fund was new when this prospectus was printed, its performance
is not included.  At least twice a year, you will receive a report
detailing the fund's recent strategies, performance, and holdings.  For
current performance or a free annual report, call 1-800-___-___.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in the fund over a
given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
Average annual total returns covering periods of less than one year assume
that performance will remain constant for the rest of the year.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in the fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. Yields are
calculated according to a standard that is required for all stock and bond
funds. Because this differs from other accounting methods, the quoted yield
may not equal the income actually paid to shareholders.
In calculating yield, the fund may from time to time use a security's
coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in order to reflect the risk
premium on that security. This practice will have the effect of reducing
the fund's yield. 
TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS ARE BASED ON PAST RESULTS AND ARE NOT AN
INDICATION OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
THE FUND IN DETAIL
 
 
CHARTER
REAL ESTATE HIGH INCOME FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND : an investment that pools
shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.  In technical
terms, the fund is currently a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Advisor
Series IV, an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on May 6, 1983.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
fund, and review the fund's performance. The majority of trustees are not
otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These meetings
may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental policies,
approve a management contract, or for other purposes. Shareholders not
attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.  Fidelity will
mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting card and information
about the proposals to be voted on.  You are entitled to one vote for each
share you own.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The fund is managed by FMR, which chooses the fund's investments and
handles its business affairs.
 As of November 30, 1994, FMR advised funds having approximately    
million shareholders accounts with a total value of more than $    billion.
Mark P. Snyderman is manager of Real Estate High Income, which he has
managed since December of 1994. He joined Fidelity in May of 1994 as an
analyst of commercial mortgage-backed securities. Previously, he headed up
the fixed-income group for Aldrich, Eastman & Waltsh, a real estate
investment advisory firm located in Boston, MA.
FDC distributes and markets Fidelity's funds and services. Fidelity
Investments Institutional Operations Company (FIIOC)  performs transfer
agent servicing functions for the fund.
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business address
at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts. It includes a number of
different subsidiaries and divisions which provide a variety of financial
services and products. The fund employs various Fidelity companies to
perform activities required for its operation.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR.  Through ownership of
voting common stock, members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.  Changes may occur in the
Johnson family group, through death or disability, which would result in
changes in each individual family members' holding of stock.  Such changes
could result in one or more family members becoming holders of over 25% of
the stock.  FMR Corp. has received an opinion of counsel that changes in
the composition of the Johnson family group under these circumstances would
not result in the termination of the fund's management or distribution
contracts and, accordingly, would not require a shareholder vote to
continue operation under those contracts.
To carry out the fund's transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that the fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
THE FUND seeks a high level of current income. The fund will normally
invest so that at least 65% of its total assets will be invested in
lower-quality real estate debt securities, primarily commercial
mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related securities. When
consistent with its goal, the fund may also consider the potential for
capital gain.
Under normal market conditions, the fund will concentrate in securities and
instruments backed by real estate and real estate mortgages, including
interests in real-estate investment trusts, commercial mortgage-backed
securities, and other mortgage-related securities. 
Commercial mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks affecting the
ability of mortgagors to meet their payment obligations and risks
associated with the value of the underlying mortgage collateral, as well as
the unique interest rate and payment priority characteristics of a
particular investment. Regional and national trends in the valuation of
commercial real estate can also be important factors in the fund's
performance.
The fund's yield and share price will change based on changes in interest
rates, market conditions, and other political and economic news. In
general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall, and vice versa. FMR may
use various investment techniques to hedge the fund's risks, but there is
no guarantee that these strategies will work as intended. It is important
to note that the fund is not guaranteed. When you sell your shares, they
may be worth more or less than what you paid for them.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The fund also reserves the right to invest without limitation in
investment-grade money market or short-term debt instruments for temporary,
defensive purposes. 
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, and strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective. A summary of risks and
restrictions associated with these instrument types and investment
practices is included as well. A complete listing of the fund's policies
and limitations and more detailed information about the fund's investments
is contained in the fund's SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at
the time of purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event
of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques to
the full extent permitted unless it believes that doing so will help the
fund achieve its goal. As a shareholder, you will receive financial reports
at least every six months detailing fund holdings and describing recent
investment activities.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers to
borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or
variable rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest, but are purchased at a discount from their face values. Debt
securities, loans, and other direct debt have varying degrees of quality
and varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Longer-term
bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term
bonds.
Lower-quality debt securities (sometimes called "junk bonds") are often
considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of default or price
changes due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness. The market prices
of these securities may fluctuate more than higher-quality securities and
may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty.
 ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of financial assets
including any form of real estate mortgage loan or other receivable. The
value of these securities may be significantly affected by changes in the
market's perception of issuers and the creditworthiness of the parties
involved as well as the interest rate and payment characteristics of the
security.
 MORTGAGE SECURITIES are a form of asset-backed security that are interests
in pools of commercial or residential mortgages, and may include complex
instruments such as collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped
mortgage-backed securities. Commercial mortgage-backed securities represent
interests secured by a mortgage or pool of mortgages on commercial
properties such as hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, apartment
complexes and industrial properties.  These interests may include mortgage
pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, regular
interests in real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) securities or
other kinds of mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage securities may be
issued by the government or by private entities. These securities are
subject to credit risks associated with the performance of the underlying
mortgage properties. Factors such as changes in consumer spending habits,
local economic and competitive conditions, tenant occupancy rates and
regulatory or zoning restrictions, or the loss of a major tenant may
adversely affect the economic viability of a mortgaged property. In
addition, these securities are subject to prepayment risk, although
commercial mortgages tend to have shorter maturities than residential
mortgages as well as prepayment protection features. Some securities may
have a structure that makes their reaction to interest rates and other
factors difficult to predict, making their value highly volatile. The
market for commercial mortgage-backed securities is relatively new.

STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt instrument. These involve risks that are similar to those of other
debt securities, although they may be more volatile, and certain stripped
securities move in the same direction as interest rates.
 REAL ESTATE-RELATED INSTRUMENTS include commercial and residential
mortgage-backed securities, real estate investment trusts, and real estate
financings. Real estate-related instruments are sensitive to factors such
as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash
flow of underlying real estate assets, overbuilding, and the management
skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Real estate-related instruments
may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements, such as those
relating to the environment.
 REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS. Equity trusts own real estate directly, and
their value depends upon that of the underlying properties. Mortgage trusts
make construction, development, or long-term mortgage loans, and are
sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. The value of real estate
investment trusts is also affected by management skill, cash flow, and tax
and regulatory requirements.
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES are high-quality debt securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or instrumentality of the
the U.S. government. Not all U.S. government securities are backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States. For example, securities issued
by the Federal Farm Credit Bank or by the Federal National Mortgage
Association are supported by the instrumentality's right to borrow money
from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances. However, securities
issued by the Financing Corporation are supported only by the credit of the
entity that issued them.
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS are high-quality instruments that present minimal
credit risk. They may include U.S. Government obligations, commercial paper
and other short-term corporate obligations, and certificates of deposit,
bankers' acceptances, bank deposits, and other financial institution
obligations. These instruments may carry fixed or variable interest rates.
FOREIGN SECURITIES and foreign currencies may involve additional risks.
These include currency fluctuations, risks relating to political or
economic conditions in the foreign country, and the potentially less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
In addition to the political and economic factors that can affect foreign
securities, a governmental issuer may be unwilling to repay principal and
interest when due, and may require that the conditions for payment be
renegotiated. These factors could make foreign investments, especially
those in developing countries, more volatile.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. The fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices, interest
rates, or other factors that affect security values. These techniques may
involve derivative transactions such as buying and selling options and
futures contracts, entering into currency exchange contracts or swap
agreements, purchasing indexed securities, and selling securities short.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics
of the fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the
fund's investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques
may increase the volatility of the fund and may involve a small investment
of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these
techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction
does not perform as promised.
DIRECT DEBT. Loans and other direct debt instruments are interests in
amounts owed to another party by a company, government, or other borrower.
They have additional risks beyond conventional debt securities because they
may entail less legal protection for the fund, or there may be a
requirement that the fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect the fund's yield. 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a security
at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some securities, including illiquid securities, may be subject
to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a
loss or may be costly to the fund.
RESTRICTIONS. The fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more
than 15% of its net assets would be invested in illiquid securities. 
OTHER INSTRUMENTS may include convertible securities and preferred stocks.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying the fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry. A
fund that is not diversified may be more sensitive to changes in the market
value of a single issuer or industry.
RESTRICTIONS:  The fund is considered non-diversified. Generally, to meet
federal tax requirements at the close of each quarter, the fund does not
invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one issuer and, with
respect to 50% of total assets, does not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in any one issuer. The fund may not invest more than 25% of its
total assets in any one industry, except for securities and instruments
backed by real estate and real estate mortgages, including interests in
real estate investment trusts. These limitations do not apply to U.S.
government securities.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If the fund borrows money,
its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing
is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are
outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
LENDING. Lending securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
FBSI, an affiliate of FMR, is a means of earning income. This practice
could result in a loss or a delay in recovering the fund's securities. The
fund may also lend money to other funds advised by FMR  and to issuers in
connection with certain direct debt transactions.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of the fund's
total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraph restates all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraph, can be changed without shareholder approval. 
The fund seeks a high level of current income by investing primarily in
commercial mortgage-backed securities. The fund may not invest more than
25% of its total assets in any one industry, except that it will invest
more than 25% of its total assets in securities and instruments backed by
real estate and real estate mortgages, including interests in real estate
investment trusts. The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 33% of the fund's total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of the fund's total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily operations.
Expenses paid out of the fund's assets are reflected in its share price or
dividends; they are neither billed directly to shareholders nor deducted
from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs, FMR in turn may pay fees to affiliates who provide
assistance with these services. 
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management fees
and other expenses above a specified limit.  FMR retains the ability to be
repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the
end of the fiscal year.  Reimbursement arrangements, which may be
terminated at any time without notice, can decrease the fund's expenses and
boost its performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The MANAGEMENT FEE is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fund pays
the fee at the annual rate of ____% of its average net assets.
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Co. (FIIOC) performs transfer
agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing functions for the
fund. Fidelity Service Co.  calculates the NAV and dividends for the fund, 
maintains the fund's general accounting records and administers the fund's
securities lending program.  FMR, and not the fund, pays for these
services.
The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan. This plan recognizes
that FMR may use its resources, including management fees, to pay expenses
associated with the sale of fund shares. This may include payments to third
parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that provide shareholder support
services or engage in the sale of the fund's shares. The Board of Trustees
[has/has not] authorized such payments. The fund does not pay FMR any
separate fees for this service.
The fund's portfolio turnover rate is not expected to exceed 75% in the
first fiscal period, which ends on November 30, 1995. This rate will vary
from year to year.

INVESTOR SERVICES
Fidelity provides a variety of services to help you manage your account.
INFORMATION SERVICES
Statements and reports that Fidelity sends to you include the following:
(medium solid bullet) Confirmation statements (after every transaction,
except a reinvestment, that affects your account balance or your account
registration)
(medium solid bullet) Account statements (quarterly)
(medium solid bullet) Financial reports (every six months)
To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports will be mailed
to your household, even if you have more than one account in the fund. 
Call [A/PM GET APPROPRIATE NUMBER FROM MARKETING] if you need copies of
financial reports.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
 
 
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains to shareholders each year. Income dividends are declared
daily and paid quarterly. Capital gains are normally distributed in
___________.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you want
to receive your distributions. The fund offers three options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions will
be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not
indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.
2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, but you will be
sent a check for each dividend distribution.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions.
 Dividends will be reinvested at the fund's NAV on the last day of the
month. Capital gain distributions will be reinvested at the NAV as of the
date the fund deducts the distribution from its NAV. The mailing of
distribution checks will begin within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the fund
will be taxed. 
Distributions are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to
state or local taxes. If you live outside the United States, your
distributions could also be taxed by the country in which you reside. Your
distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash
or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and paid in
January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions
are taxed as long-term capital gains. 
Every January, the Transfer Agent will send you and the IRS a statement
showing the taxable distributions paid to you in the previous year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions-including exchanges-are subject to
capital gains tax. A capital gain or loss is the difference between the
cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them. 
Whenever you sell shares of the fund, the Transfer Agent will send you a
confirmation statement showing how many shares you sold and at what price. 
You will also receive a consolidated transaction statement every January.
However, it is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether this
sale resulted in a capital gain and, if so, the amount of tax to be paid.
BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR REGULAR ACCOUNT STATEMENTS; the information they
contain will be essential in calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares just before the fund deducts a
distribution from its NAV, you will pay the full price for the shares and
then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable
distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES.  A fund may pay withholding or other taxes to
foreign governments during the year.  These taxes reduce the fund's
distributions, but are included in the taxable income reported on your tax
statement.  You may be able to claim an offsetting tax credit or itemized
deduction for foreign taxes paid by the fund.  Your tax statement will
generally show the amount of foreign tax for which a credit or deduction
may be available.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, the fund
may have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments. 
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time.
THE FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding. 
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. 
Foreign securities are valued on the basis of quotations from the primary
market in which they are traded, and are translated from the local currency
into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. If quotations are not
readily available, or if the values have been materially affected by events
occurring after the closing of a foreign market, assets are valued by a
method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. 
THE FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE
(price to sell one share) are its NAV. 
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions. 
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE.  Note that Fidelity will
not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions
if it follows reasonable procedures designed to verify the accuracy of the
confirmation statements immediately after receipt.  If an investor does not
want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions.  Additional documentation may be required from corporations,
associations and certain fiduciaries.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center. 
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. The fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order.  Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would
disrupt management of a fund. 
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Note the following: 
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and
checks must be drawn on U.S. banks. 
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash. 
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each
check must have a value of at least $50. 
APPENDIX
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective
elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most
unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins
of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other
elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than
in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any
great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
CAA - Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default
or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.
CA - Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked
short-comings.
C - Bonds rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds and issued so rated
can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2, and 3, in each generic rating
classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and
the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its
generic rating category.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated
categories.
BB - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has
the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual
or implied BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default,
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is
not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C rating may
be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed but
debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when
interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due even
if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that
such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating will also
be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments
are jeopardized.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the
Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or
limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be
determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of
such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values,
net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining
whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and
limitations.
The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the fund.
However, except for the fundamental investment limitations set forth below,
the investment policies and limitations described in this Statement of
Additional Information are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET FORTH
IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(2) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not
exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less
liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed
this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and
holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal
business activities are in the same industry, except that the fund will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities and instruments
backed by real estate and real estate mortgages, including interests in
real estate investment trusts;
(5) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent
the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from
investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical
commodities); or
(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.
(8) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) To meet federal tax requirements for qualification as a "regulated
investment company." the fund limits its investments so that at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year: (a) with regard to at least 50% of
total assets, no more than 5% of total assets are invested in the
securities of a single issuer, and (b) no more than 25% of total assets are
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Limitations (a) and (b) do
not apply to "Government securities" as defined for federal tax purposes.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to
the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin,
except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary
for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in
connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall
not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for
purposes of fundamental investment limitation (3)). The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. The fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 7.5% of the
fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for
which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) acquiring
loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt instruments and,
in connection therewith, assuming any associated unfunded commitments of
the sellers. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt
securities or mortgage-related securities or direct mortgage investments;
or to repurchase agreements.)
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary brokers commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the
section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on page
.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. The fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These
transactions may include repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest
U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. government
securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers
in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term
secured borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board of Trustees has established
and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving
affiliated financial institutions.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by the fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price and/or yield, with payment and delivery taking place
after the customary settlement period for that type of security (and more
than seven days in the future). Typically, no interest accrues to the
purchaser until the security is delivered. The fund may receive fees for
entering into delayed-delivery transactions.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, the fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because the fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If the fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When the fund has sold a security on a
delayed-delivery basis, the fund does not participate in further gains or
losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a
delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities,
the fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer
a loss.
The fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller
at an agreed upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus
an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased security. A repurchase agreement involves the
obligation of the seller to pay the agreed-upon resale price, which
obligation is in effect secured by the value (at least equal to the amount
of the agreed-upon resale price and marked to market daily) of the
underlying security. The fund may engage in repurchase agreements with
respect to any type of security in which it is authorized to invest. While
it does not presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these
transactions (particularly the possibility of a decline in the market value
of the underlying securities, as well as delays and costs to the fund in
connection with bankruptcy proceedings), it is the fund's current policy to
limit repurchase agreements to those parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. 
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement.
The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties
whose creditworthiness is deemed satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's assets and may be
viewed as a form of leverage.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. The fund has received permissions from the SEC
to lend money to and borrow money from other fund advised by FMR or its
affiliates. Interfund loans and borrowings normally will extend overnight,
but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The fund will lend through
the program only when the returns are higher than those available at the
same time from other short-term instruments (such as repurchase
agreements), and will borrow through the program only when the costs are
equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Loans may be called on one
day's notice, and the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher
interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in
repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity
or additional borrowing costs. 
SECURITIES LENDING. The fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and
a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities lending allows the fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Since there may be
delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of rights in
collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good standing. Furthermore,
they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment, the consideration to be
earned from such loans would justify the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that the fund
may engage in loan transactions only under the following conditions: (1)
the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of cash or cash
equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the borrower; (2) the
borrower must increase the collateral whenever the market value of the
securities loaned (determined on a daily basis) rises above the value of
the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the fund must be able to terminate
the loan at any time; (4) the fund must receive reasonable interest on the
loan or a flat fee from the borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any
dividends, interest, or other distributions on the securities loaned and to
any increase in market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable
custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees
must be able to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by
terminating the loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with
the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in any security in
which the fund is authorized to invest. Investing this cash subjects that
investment, as well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
VARIABLE OR FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS bear variable or floating interest
rates and carry rights that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid
principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain
financial intermediaries. Floating rate instruments have interest rates
that change whenever there is a change in a designated base rate while
variable rate instruments provide for a specified periodic adjustment in
the interest rate. These formulas are designed to result in a market value
for the instrument that approximates its par value.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of the fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the
liquidity of the fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment). 
Investments currently considered by the fund to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days, non-government stripped fixed-rate
mortgage-backed securities, and over-the-counter options. Also, FMR may
determine some restricted securities, government-stripped fixed-rate
mortgage-backed securities, loans and other direct debt instruments,
emerging market securities, and swap agreements to be illiquid. However,
with respect to over-the-counter options the fund writes, all or a portion
of the value of the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the
assets held to cover the option and the nature and terms of any agreement
the fund may have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are priced at
fair value as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees. If through a change in values, net assets or other
circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 15% of its net
assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would seek to take
appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, the fund may be obligated to pay all or part of
the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the
time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to
sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such
a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the fund might obtain
a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration
of the security. 
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES may include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables
or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent
upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and, in
certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other
credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be
affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the
originator of the loans or receivables, or the financial institution(s)
providing the credit support.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. The Fund may purchase mortgage-backed
securities, a type of asset-backed security issued by government entities
and non-government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other
financial institutions. A mortgage-backed security  may be an obligation of
the issuer backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest
in an underlying pool of mortgages. Some mortgage-backed securities, such
as collateralized mortgage obligations or CMOs, make payments of both
principal and interest at a variety of intervals; others make semiannual
interest payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity
(like a typical bond). Mortgage-backed securities are based on different
types of mortgages including those on commercial real estate or residential
properties. Other types of mortgage-backed securities will likely be
developed in the future, and the Fund may invest in them if FMR determines
they are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and policies.
The value of mortgage-backed securities may change due to shifts in the
market's perception of issuers. In addition, regulatory or tax changes may
adversely affect the mortgage securities market as a whole. Non-government
mortgage-backed securities may offer higher yields than those issued by
government entities, but also may be subject to greater price changes than
government issues. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment and
credit risks. Prepayment, which occurs when unscheduled or early payments
are made on the underlying mortgages, may shorten the effective maturities
of these securities and may lower their total returns. Credit risks include
risks associated with the performance of the real estate properties
securing the mortgages such as bankruptcy, quality of management, changes
in taxes or operating expenses and environmental risks.
STRIPPED MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES are created when a U.S. government
agency or a financial institution separates the interest and principal
components of a mortgage-backed security and sells them as individual
securities. The holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the
principal payments made by the underlying mortgage-backed security, while
the holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments
from the same underlying security.
The prices of stripped mortgage-backed securities may be particularly
affected by changes in interest rates. As interest rates fall, prepayment
rates tend to increase, which tends to reduce prices of IOs and increase
prices of POs. Rising interest rates can have the opposite effect.
REAL ESTATE-RELATED INSTRUMENTS include real estate investment trusts,
commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, and real estate
financings. Real estate-related instruments are sensitive to factors such
as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash
flow of underlying real estate assets, overbuilding, and the management
skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Real estate-related instruments
may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements, such as those
relating to the environment.
SWAP AGREEMENTS. Swap agreements can be individually negotiated and
structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of
investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap
agreements may increase or decrease the fund's exposure to long- or
short-term interest rates (in the U.S. or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as
security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different
forms and are known by a variety of names. The fund is not limited to any
particular form of swap agreement if FMR determines it is consistent with
the fund's investment objective and policies.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only
under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by
the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the
right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is
obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements
of buying a cap and selling a floor.
Swap agreements will tend to shift the fund's investment exposure from one
type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange
payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement
would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and
increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and
floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on
how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall
volatility of the fund's investments and its share price and yield. 
The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the
change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that
determine the amounts of payments due to and from the fund. If a swap
agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make
such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's creditworthiness
declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline,
potentially resulting in losses. The fund expects to be able to eliminate
its exposure under swap agreements either by assignment or other
disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same
party or a similarly creditworthy party.
The fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account to cover its current obligations under swap agreements. If the fund
enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it will segregate assets with
a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of the fund's accrued
obligations under the swap agreement over the accrued amount the fund is
entitled to receive under the agreement. If the fund enters into a swap
agreement on other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a value
equal to the full amount of the fund's accrued obligations under the
agreement.
ZERO COUPON BONDS. Zero coupon bonds do not make interest payments;
instead, they are sold at a deep discount from their face value and are
redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not
pay current income, their prices can be very volatile when interest rates
change. In calculating its daily dividend, the fund takes into account as
income a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase
price and its face value. 
A broker-dealer creates a derivative zero by separating the interest and
principal components of a U.S. Treasury security and selling them as two
individual securities. CATS (Certificates of Accrual on Treasury
Securities), TIGRs (Treasury Investment Growth Receipts), and TRs (Treasury
Receipts) are examples of derivative zeros.
The Federal Reserve Bank creates STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered
Interest and Principal of Securities) by separating the interest and
principal components of an outstanding U.S. Treasury bond and selling them
as individual securities. Bonds issued by the Resolution Funding
Corporation and the Financing Corporation can also be separated in this
fashion. Original issue zeros are zero coupon securities originally issued
by the U.S. government, a government agency, or a corporation in zero
coupon form. 
INDEXED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase securities whose prices are
indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies,
precious metals or other commodities, or other financial indicators.
Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or
deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference
to a specific instrument or statistic. Gold-indexed securities, for
example, typically provide for a maturity value that depends on the price
of gold, resulting in a security whose price tends to rise and fall
together with gold prices. Currency-indexed securities typically are
short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or
interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more
specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S.
dollar-denominated securities of equivalent issuers. Currency-indexed
securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity
value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting
in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument,
or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase,
resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on
the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices
that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies
relative to each other.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they
are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the
U.S. and abroad. At the same time, indexed securities are subject to the
credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values
may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.
Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and
certain U.S. government agencies. Indexed securities may be more volatile
than the underlying instruments.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. While the market for high-yield,
lower-quality corporate debt securities has been in existence for many
years and has weathered previous economic downturns, the 1980s brought a
dramatic increase in the use of such securities to fund highly leveraged
corporate acquisitions and restructuring. Past experience may not provide
an accurate indication of the future performance of the high-yield bond
market, especially during periods of economic recession. In fact, from 1989
to 1991, the percentage of lower-quality securities that defaulted rose
significantly above prior levels, although the default rate decreased in
1992 and 1993.
The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active
than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect
the prices at which the former are sold. If market quotations are not
available, lower-quality debt securities will be valued in accordance with
procedures established by the Board of Trustees, including the use of
outside pricing services. Judgment plays a greater role in valuing
high-yield corporate debt securities than is the case for securities for
which more external sources for quotations and last-sale information are
available. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect
the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt
securities and the fund's ability to sell these securities.
Since the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities,
FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of
managing securities of this type held by the fund. In considering
investments for the fund, FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of
high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet
future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future.
FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as
interest, dividend or debt service coverage, asset coverage, earnings
prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.
The fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder
to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this
to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. Foreign investments can involve significant risks in
addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments. The value of securities
denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, and of dividends and
interest from such securities, can change significantly when foreign
currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign
securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity
than U.S. markets, and prices on some foreign markets can be highly
volatile. Many foreign countries lack uniform accounting and disclosure
standards comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies, and it may be
more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding an issuer's
financial condition and operations. In addition, the costs of foreign
investing, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and
custodial costs, are generally higher than for U.S. investments.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets.
Foreign issuers, brokers, and securities markets may be subject to less
government supervision. Foreign security trading practices, including those
involving the release of assets in advance of payment, may involve
increased risks in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a
broker-dealer, and may involve substantial delays. It may also be difficult
to enforce legal rights in foreign countries.
Investing abroad also involves different political and economic risks.
Foreign investments may be affected by actions of foreign governments
adverse to the interests of U.S. investors, including the possibility of
expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation,
restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or
convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. There
may be a greater possibility of default by foreign governments or foreign
government-sponsored enterprises. Investments in foreign countries also
involve a risk of local political, economic, or social instability,
military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments. There is no
assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or
counter their effects.
The considerations noted above generally are intensified for investments in
developing countries. Developing countries may have relatively unstable
governments, economies based on only a few industries, and securities
markets that trade a small number of securities.
The fund may invest in foreign securities that impose restrictions on
transfer within the U.S. or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid
than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such
restrictions.
American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts (ADRs and
EDRs) are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign-based
corporation held in trust by a bank or similar financial institution.
Designed for use in U.S. and European securities markets, respectively,
ADRs and EDRs are alternatives to the purchase of the underlying securities
in their national markets and currencies.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis or by entering into forward
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date and
price. The fund will convert currency on a spot basis from time to time,
and investors should be aware of the costs of currency conversion. Although
foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for conversion, they
do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which
they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to
sell a foreign currency to the fund at one rate, while offering a lesser
rate of exchange should the fund desire to resell that currency to the
dealer. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market
conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial
banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to
offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the
contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.
The fund may use currency forward contracts for any purpose consistent with
its investment objective. The following discussion summarizes the principal
currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be
used by the fund. The fund may also use swap agreements, indexed
securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign
currencies for the same purposes.
When the fund agrees to buy or sell a security denominated in a foreign
currency, it may desire to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security.
By entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale, for a fixed
amount of U.S. dollars, of the amount of foreign currency involved in the
underlying security transaction, the fund will be able to protect itself
against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date the
security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or
received. This technique is sometimes referred to as a "settlement hedge"
or "transaction hedge." The fund may also enter into forward contracts to
purchase or sell a foreign currency in anticipation of future purchases or
sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific
investments have not yet been selected by FMR.
The fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the
value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example,
if the fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter
into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars
to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge,
sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both
positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes
in security values caused by other factors. The fund could also hedge the
position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the
pound sterling - for example, by entering into a forward contract to sell
Deutschemarks or European Currency Units in return for U.S. dollars. This
type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not
hedge currency exposure as effectively as a simple hedge into U.S. dollars.
Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not
perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are
denominated.
The fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure
from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from
U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another
foreign currency. For example, if the fund held investments denominated in
Deutschemarks, the fund could enter into forward contracts to sell
Deutschemarks and purchase Swiss Francs. This type of strategy, sometimes
known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the
currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is
purchased, much as if the fund had sold a security denominated in one
currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another.
Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged
currency, but will cause the fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the
value of the currency it purchases.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover
currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, the fund will
segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if any, whose purpose
is essentially speculative. The fund will not segregate assets to cover
forward contracts entered into for hedging purposes, including settlement
hedges, position hedges, and proxy hedges.
Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill
in analyzing and predicting currency values. Currency management strategies
may substantially change the fund's investment exposure to changes in
currency exchange rates, and could result in losses to the fund if
currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's
value rose at a time when FMR had hedged the fund by selling that currency
in exchange for dollars, the fund would be unable to participate in the
currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy
hedges, the fund could realize currency losses from the hedge and the
security position at the same time if the two currencies do not move in
tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases the fund's exposure to a foreign
currency, and that currency's value declines, the fund will realize a loss.
There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will
be advantageous to the fund or that it will hedge at an appropriate time.
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Direct debt instruments are
interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower
to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to
suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to
other parties. Direct debt instruments are subject to the fund's policies
regarding the quality of debt securities.
Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily
upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of principal and
interest. Direct debt instruments may not be rated by any nationally
recognized rating service. If the fund does not receive scheduled interest
or principal payments on such indebtedness, the fund's share price and
yield could be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured offer the
fund more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of non-payment of
scheduled interest or principal. However, there is no assurance that the
liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's
obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of
borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater
risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or
restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small
fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries
also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the
repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and
repay principal when due.
Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's
interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks to the fund.
For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the fund could become part owner of
any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with
owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that
under emerging legal theories of lender liability, the fund could be held
liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of
insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary. Direct debt
instruments that are not in the form of securities may offer less legal
protection to the fund in the event of fraud or misrepresentation. In the
absence of definitive regulatory guidance, the fund relies on FMR's
research in an attempt to avoid situations where fraud or misrepresentation
could adversely affect the fund.
A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that
acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan,
as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or
other indebtedness, the fund has direct recourse against the borrower, it
may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against
a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of the fund were
determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors,
the fund might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the
loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or
interest.
Direct indebtedness purchased by the fund may include letters of credit,
revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments
obligating the fund to pay additional cash on demand. These commitments may
have the effect of requiring the fund to increase its investment in a
borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the
borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.
The fund will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account to cover its potential obligations under standby financing
commitments.
The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one
issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see limitations 1 and 5 for
the fund). For purposes of these limitations, the fund generally will treat
the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case
of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as
financial intermediary between the fund and the borrower, if the
participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor
relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require the fund, in
appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending
institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a
financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict the fund's
ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial
intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry,
even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and
industries.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund will file a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the
futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the
Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the fund can
commit assets to initial margin deposits and options premiums.
In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put
options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 50% of the fund's
total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal
conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a
result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of
purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its
total assets; (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value
of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5%
of the fund's total assets; or (d) write call options on securities if, as
a result, the aggregate value of the securities underlying the calls would
exceed 25% of the fund's net assets. These limitations do not apply to
options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
The fund's limitations on investments in futures contracts and options, and
the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed
elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information may be changed as
regulatory agencies permit. 
FUTURES CONTRACTS. When the fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees to
purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. When
the fund sells a futures contract, they agree to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when the fund enters into the contract. Some
currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities,
such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of
securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index. Futures can
be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a
liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem
with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures
contracts will tend to increase the fund's exposure to positive and
negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had
purchased the underlying instrument directly. When the fund sells a futures
contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move
in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts,
therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price
changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is
not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the
contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and
seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker,
known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered
into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the
contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to
settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may
be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and
variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin
for purposes of the fund's investment limitations. In the event of the
bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of the fund, the fund may
be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount
received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to
the fund.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the fund
obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying
instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the fund pays
the current market price for the option (known as the option premium).
Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific
securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price. The fund may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market
exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security
prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price
does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put
buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium
paid, plus related transaction costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to
purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's
strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential
price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost
of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can
expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to
offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. When the fund writes a put option, it takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return
for receipt of the premium, the fund assumes the obligation to pay the
strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to
the option chooses to exercise it. When writing an option on a futures
contract, the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts. The fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes before exercise by closing out the
option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary
market is not liquid for a put option the fund has written, however, the
fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit,
although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it
received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that
the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the
option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would
expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from
purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium
received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the fund to sell or deliver the option's
underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the
option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of
writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable
strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option
premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the
same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying
instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is
greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security
price increases.
COMBINED POSITIONS. The fund may purchase and write options in combination
with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to
adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For
example, the fund may purchase a put option and write a call option on the
same underlying instrument, in order to construct a combined position whose
risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract.
Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at
one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, in order to
reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial
price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades,
they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open
and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of types
of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the
standardized contracts available will not match the fund's current or
anticipated investments exactly. The fund may invest in options and futures
contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other
characteristics from the securities in which they typically invest, which
involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the
performance of the fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match the fund's
investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors
as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility
of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of
the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect
correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options
and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences
in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of
daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. The fund may purchase or
sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to
compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the
securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price
changes in the fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated
with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated
gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other
investments.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a liquid
secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract
at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and
liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying
instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily
price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt
trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit
in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit
is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible for the fund
to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the
secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation
limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable
positions, and potentially could require the fund to continue to hold a
position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value.
As a result, the fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or
futures positions could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with
respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and
strike price, the terms of over-the-counter options (options not traded on
exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other
party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the
fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to their needs, OTC options
generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which
are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are
traded. 
OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that
they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are
standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures
contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying
instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally
is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures
contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase
the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the
right to sell the underlying currency.
The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options
and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. The fund
may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency
options to increase or decrease their exposure to different foreign
currencies. The fund may also purchase and write currency options in
conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts.
Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with
exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of
the fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a
Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect
the fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the
issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of the fund's
foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other
than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency
options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over
time.
 ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS.  The fund will comply
with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to coverage of options and futures strategies by mutual funds, and
if the guidelines so require will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities held in a
segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or options strategy is
outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable assets. As a
result, there is a possibility that segregation of a large percentage of
the fund's assets could impede portfolio management or the fund's ability
to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on
behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the fund's
management contract. If FMR grants investment management authority to the
sub-advisers (see the section entitled "Management Contracts") the
sub-advisers are authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies
described below. FMR is also responsible for the placement of transaction
orders for other investment companies and accounts for which it or its
affiliates act as investment adviser. In selecting broker-dealers, subject
to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, FMR considers
various relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the size and type
of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the
security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement
capability, and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the
broker-dealer's execution services rendered on a continuing basis; and the
reasonableness of any commissions. Generally, commissions for foreign
investments traded will be higher than for U.S. investments and may not be
subject to negotiation.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who provide
research and execution services to the fund or other accounts over which
FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such services may
include advice concerning the value of securities; the advisability of
investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing analyses
and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and effecting
securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such
as clearance and settlement). The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) based upon the quality of research and execution services
provided. 
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the fund or its other clients, and, conversely, such research
provided by brokers-dealers who have executed transaction orders on behalf
of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations
to the fund. The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the
additional expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop
comparable information through its own efforts.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that are in
excess of the amount of commissions charged by other broker-dealers in
recognition of their research and execution services. In order to cause the
fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR must determine in good faith that
such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage
and research services provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in
terms of a particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to the
fund and its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation should
be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of other Fidelity funds
to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services provided by
and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI)
and Fidelity Brokerage Services, Ltd. (FBSL), subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if
the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged
by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI to execute portfolio transactions on national securities
exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
The fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions
on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by the fund over
representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the fund.
 The fund's portfolio turnover rate is expected to be 75% in the first
fiscal period ending November 30. 1995. 
The investment activities described herein are likely to result in the fund
engaging in a considerable amount of trading of securities held for less
than one year. Accordingly, it can be expected that the fund will have a
higher turnover rate, and thus a higher incidence of short-term capital
gains taxable as ordinary income, than might be expected from investment
companies that invest substantially all of their funds on a long-term
basis.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar
fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and
advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the
tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture
arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to continue to review
whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible
and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether
it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for the fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or accounts
managed by FMR affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is
held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and accounts
are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same
security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or
account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance
with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable for the fund. In
some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or
value of the security as far as the fund is concerned. In other cases,
however, the ability of the fund to participate in volume transactions will
produce better executions and prices for the fund. It is the current
opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as
investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said
to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at market values determined by their most recent bid
prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the
principal market in which such securities normally are traded. Securities
and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available
(including restricted securities, if any) are appraised at their fair value
as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Securities may also be valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a
pricing service that uses both dealer-supplied valuations and evaluations
based on expert analysis of market data and other factors if such
valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such
securities. Use of a pricing service has been approved by the Board of
Trustees. There are a number of pricing services available, and the
Trustees, or officers acting on behalf of the Trustees, on the basis of
ongoing evaluation of these pricing services, may use other pricing
services or may discontinue the use of any pricing service in whole or in
part.
Securities not valued by the pricing service, and for which quotations are
readily available, are valued at market values determined on the basis of
their latest available bid prices as furnished by recognized dealers in
such securities. Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of
market quotations, if available.
PERFORMANCE
The fund may quote its performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund's advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price, yield, and
total return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors,
and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their
original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the fund's
interest income for a given 30-day or one month period, net of expenses, by
the average number of shares entitled to receive dividends during the
period, dividing this figure by the fund's net asset value per share (NAV)
at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding
of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Income is
calculated for purposes of yield quotations in accordance with standardized
methods applicable to all stock and bond funds. In general, interest income
is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a premium over their par value
by subtracting a portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and
is increased with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a
portion of the discount to daily income. For the fund's investments
denominated in foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first
in their respective currencies, and are then converted to U.S. dollars,
either when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one
month period, whichever is earlier. Income is adjusted to reflect gains and
losses from principal repayments received by the funds with respect to
mortgage-related securities and other asset-backed securities. Other
capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the calculation as are
gains and losses currently from exchange rate fluctuations.
Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield differs
from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of the
different accounting methods used, and because of the compounding of income
assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield may not equal its
distribution rate, the income paid to your account, or the income reported
in the fund's financial statements.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed
interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment
alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the
portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to
consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the
fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be
somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be
invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the
fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of the fund's returns, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's NAV
over a stated period. Average annual returns are calculated by determining
the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in
the fund over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded
percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of
growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example,
a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual
return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate that would equal 100%
growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are
a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should
realize that the funds' performance is not constant over time, but changes
from year to year, and that average annual returns represent averaged
figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged or
cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of
redemptions, over any time period. Total returns may be broken down into
their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes
in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of these factors
and their contributions to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before or after tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund
and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the
fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as
mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper),
an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of
total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank funds based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may
be compared to mutual fund performance indices prepared by Lipper or other
organizations. When comparing these indices, it is important to remember
the risk and return characteristics of each type of investment. For
example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they
also carry the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money
market funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not
offer the higher potential returns from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals.
For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising
materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates
mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that
compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate
categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.
The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposits (CDs)
or other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions.
Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example,
the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs,
and the fund does not guarantee your principal or your return and fund
shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand
their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such
information may include information about current economic, market, and
political conditions, materials that describe general principles of
investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and
goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial
profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of
inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering
investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of
Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical
returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common
stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds,
intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury
bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of
various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based
on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to
demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance
comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any
of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the
funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future. 
The fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which they may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. The IBC/Donaghue's MONEY FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/All
Taxable, which is reported in the MONEY FUND REPORT(registered trademark)
covers over 381 taxable money market funds. The BOND FUND REPORT
AVERAGES(trademark)/ Government Mortgages which is reported in the BOND
FUND REPORT,(Registered trademark) covers over 64 bond funds. When
evaluating comparisons to money market funds, investors should consider the
relevant differences in investment objectives and policies. Specifically,
money market funds invest in short-term, high-quality instruments and seek
to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds, however, invest in
longer-term instruments and their share price changes daily in response to
a variety of factors.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include: other Fidelity funds; retirement
investing; brokerage products and services; the effects of periodic
investment plans and dollar-cost averaging and saving for college or other
goals; charitable giving; and the Fidelity credit card. In addition,
Fidelity may quote financial or business publications and periodicals,
including model portfolios or allocations, as they relate to current
economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition,
investment philosophy, investment techniques the desirability of owning a
particular mutual fund and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may
also reprint, and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from
Fidelity Focus,a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity
fund shareholders.
The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and CUSIP
number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and benchmark
correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare
the fund's historical share price fluctuations or total returns to those of
a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a
comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation
are calculated using averages of historical data. In advertising, the fund
may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.
 MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the fund's
percentage change in price movements over that period.
The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a program,
an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in the fund at periodic
intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more
shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure a profit
or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost
per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are purchased at the
same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors should consider their
ability to continue purchasing shares through periods of low price levels. 
The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of or exemption from income taxes, which may
produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a $1,000
investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have an after-tax
value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted from the return
each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent tax-deferred investment would have
an after-tax value of $2,100 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted at
a 31% rate from the tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year
period.
As of November 30, 1994, FMR advised over $___ billion in tax-free fund
assets, $___ billion in money market fund assets, $____ billion in equity
fund assets, and $___ billion in international fund assets. The fund may
reference the growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the
adviser's innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds
under management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets
under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States,
making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its
subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and
communications network for the purpose of researching and managing
investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, the fund may compare its total expense
ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked by
Lipper. The fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in comparing
bond and money market investments because of its effect on yield. 
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV) is
calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.
The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1995: New Year's
Day (observed) Washington's Birthday (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day
(observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas
Day (observed). Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be
observed in the future, the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any
time. 
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculated earlier
if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the SEC. To the
extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days when
the NYSE is closed, the fund's NAV may be affected on days when investors
do not have access to the fund to purchase or redeem shares. In addition,
trading in some of the fund's portfolio securities may not occur on days
when the fund is open for business.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payment
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities or other
property on redemption may realize either a gain or loss for tax purposes,
and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. Because the fund's income is primarily derived from interest,
dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
Short-term capital gains are distributed as dividend income, but do not
qualify for the dividends received deduction. A portion of the fund's
dividends derived from certain U.S. government obligations may be exempt
from state and local taxation. Mortgage security paydown gains (losses) are
taxable as ordinary income and, therefore, increase (decrease) taxable
dividend income. Gains (losses) attributable to foreign currency
fluctuations are generally taxable as ordinary income and therefore will
increase (decrease) dividend distributions. The fund will send each
shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of dividend and
capital gain distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund on
the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are federally
taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time
shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives a long-term
capital gain distribution on shares of the fund, and such shares are held
for six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss
equal to the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains
distributed by the fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as
capital gains. 
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities, typically at a rate
between 10% and 35%. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other
payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. Because the fund does
not currently anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will constitute
more than 50% of its total assets at the end of its fiscal year,
shareholders should not expect to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction
on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify as a "regulated
investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be liable for
federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In
order to qualify as a regulated investment company and avoid being subject
to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized
capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis.
The fund intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated
investment companies, including a requirement that capital gains from the
sale of securities held less than three months constitute less than 30% of
the fund's gross income for each fiscal year. Gains from some forward
currency contracts, futures contracts, and options are included in this 30%
calculation, which may limit the fund's investments in such instruments.
If the fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities,
defined as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in the Internal
Revenue Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of
any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of such shares.
Interest charges may also be imposed on the fund with respect to deferred
taxes arising form such distributions or gains. Generally, the fund will
elect to mark-to-market any PFIC shares. Unrealized gains will be
recognized as income for tax purposes and must be distributed to
shareholders as dividends. 
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other portfolios of
Fidelity Advisor Series IV for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some of
the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its shareholders, and
no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. In
addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and
local taxes on distributions received from the fund. Investors should
consult their tax advisers to determine whether either fund is suitable to
their particular tax situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by its parent company, FMR Corp. which was
organized in 1972. Through ownership of voting common stock and the
execution of a shareholders' voting agreement, Edward C. Johnson 3d,
Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson
family form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp. At present, the
principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those conducted by three of
its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer and shareholder
servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR; Fidelity
Investments Institutional Operations Company, which performs shareholder
servicing functions for certain institutional customers; and Fidelity
Investments Retail Marketing Company, which provides marketing services to
various companies within the Fidelity organization.
Several affiliates of FMR are also engaged in the investment advisory
business. Fidelity Management Trust Company provides trustee, investment
advisory, and administrative services to retirement plans and corporate
employee benefit accounts. Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR
U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc., (FMR Far East),
both wholly owned subsidiaries of FMR formed in 1986, supply investment
research, and may supply portfolio management services, to FMR in
connection with certain funds advised by FMR. Analysts employed by FMR, FMR
U.K., and FMR Far East research and visit thousands of domestic and foreign
companies each year. FMR Texas Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR
formed in 1989, supplies portfolio management and research services in
connection with certain money market funds advised by FMR.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
The fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser
and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the
investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies, and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, and
compensates all officers of the trust, all Trustees who are "interested
persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the trust or FMR
performing services relating to research, statistical, and investment
activities. 
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary
for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities
for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with
custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters, and
other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's
records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal and state
law; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and
furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to
the Board of Trustees.
FMR is responsible for the payment of all expenses of the fund with certain
exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR include, without limitation,
the fees and expenses of registering and qualifying the fund and its shares
for distribution under federal and state securities laws; expenses of
typesetting for printing prospectuses and statements of additional
information; custodian charges; audit and legal expenses; insurance
expenses; association membership dues; and the expenses of mailing reports
to shareholders, shareholder meetings, and proxy solicitations. FMR also
provides for transfer agent and dividend disbursing services, and portfolio
and general accounting record maintenance through FSC.
FMR pays all other expenses of the fund with the following exceptions: fees
and expenses of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the trust
or FMR (the non-interested Trustees); interest on borrowings; taxes;
brokerage commissions (if any); and such nonrecurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party,
and any obligation it may have to indemnify the officers and Trustees with
respect to litigation.
FMR is the fund's manager pursuant to a management contract dated
__________.For the services of FMR under the contract, the fund pays FMR a
monthly management fee at the annual rate of ____% of its average net
assets throughout the month.  FMR reduces its fee by an amount equal to the
fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the plan) under Rule
12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Rule). The Rule provides
in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in
financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of
shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan adopted by the fund under the
Rule. The Board of Trustees has adopted the plan to allow the fund and FMR
to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the fund of distribution expenses. Under the plans, if the
payment by the fund to FMR of management fees should be deemed to be
indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such
payment is authorized by the plan.
The plan also specifically recognizes that FMR, either directly or through
FDC, may use its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources,
without limitation, to pay promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares of the fund. In addition, the
plan provides that FMR may use its resources, including its management fee
revenues, to make payments to third parties that provide assistance selling
shares of the fund, or to third parties, including banks, that render
shareholder support services.
The fund's plan has been approved by the Trustees. As required by the Rule,
the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the
implementation of the plan prior to their approval, and have determined
that there is a reasonable likelihood that the plan will benefit the fund
and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the plan does
not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its
management contract with the fund. To the extent that the plan gives FMR
and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of shares
of the fund, additional sales of the fund's shares may result.
Additionally, certain shareholder support services may be provided more
effectively under the plan by local entities with whom shareholders have
other relationships. 
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or
supervised banks from engaging in the business of underwriting, selling, or
distributing securities. Although the scope of this prohibition under the
Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly defined by the courts or
appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes that the Glass-Steagall Act
should not preclude a bank from performing shareholder support services,
and servicing and recordkeeping functions. FDC intends to engage banks only
to perform such functions. However, changes in federal or state statutes
and regulations pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their
affiliates or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions, if
any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and effective
shareholder services. In such event, changes in the operation of the fund
might occur, including possible termination of any automatic investment or
redemption or other services then provided by the bank. It is not expected
that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these occurrences.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with and purchase securities
issued by depository institutions that receive payments under the plan. No
preference will be shown in the selection of investments for the
instruments of such depository institutions. In addition, state securities
laws on this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law
expressed herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be
required to register as dealers pursuant to state law.
CONTRACTS WITH COMPANIES AFFILIATED WITH FMR
FIIOC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholders' servicing agent
for the fund.  Under the trust's contract with FIIOC, the fund pays a per
account fee of $95 and a monetary transaction fee of $20 or $17.50
depending on the nature of services provided.  Fees for certain
institutional retirement plan accounts are based on the net assets of all
such accounts in the fund. Under the contract, FIIOC pays out-of-pocket
expenses associated with providing transfer agent services.  In addition,
FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses,
statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and
statements to shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
The trust has a contract with Service which provides that Service will
perform the calculations necessary to determine the fund's net asset value
per share and dividends, maintains the fund's accounting records, and
administers the fund's securities lending program. The fee rates are based
on the fund's average net assets, specifically, .__% for the first $500
million of average net assets and .__% for average net assets in excess of
$500 million.  The fee is limited to a minimum of $_______ and a maximum of
$750,000 per year. 
The fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts corporation
organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use
all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure
purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered.
Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and
sale of shares are paid by FMR.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
 TRUST ORGANIZATION.  Fidelity Real Estate High Income Fund is a series of
Fidelity Advisor Series IV, an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust by Declaration of Trust dated
May 6, 1983.  On January 29, 1992 the name of the Trust was changed from
Income Portfolios to Fidelity Income Trust, and on April 15, 1993, the
Board of Trustees voted to change the Trust's name to Fidelity Advisor
Series IV.  In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment advisor to
the Trust or Fund, the right of the Trust or Fund to use the identifying
name "Fidelity" may be withdrawn.  The Declaration of Trust permits the
Trustees to create additional portfolios.
 SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY.  The Trust is an entity of the type
commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust."  Under Massachusetts
law, shareholders of such a Trust may, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the Trust.  The Declaration of
Trust provides that the Trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that
each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
Trust or the Trustees include a provision limiting the obligations created
thereby to the Trust  and its assets.  The Declaration of Trust provides
for indemnification out of the fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund.  The Declaration of
Trust also provides that the fund shall, upon request, assume the defense
of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the
fund and satisfy any judgment thereon.  Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which the fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations.  FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is remote.
 The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee 
against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
 VOTING RIGHTS.  The fund's capital currently consists of shares of
beneficial interest. The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights;
the voting and dividend rights, the right of  redemption, and the privilege
of exchange are described in each prospectus.  Shares are fully paid and
nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder and
Trustee Liability" above.  Shareholders representing 10% or more of  the
Trust may, as set forth in the Declaration of Trust, call meetings for any
purpose,  including the purpose of voting on removal of one or more
Trustees.  The Trust or the Fund may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund.  If not so
terminated, the Fund will continue indefinitely.
 CUSTODIAN. Bank of New York, 48 Wall Street, New York, New York 10286, is
custodian of the assets of the Fund.  The custodian is responsible for the
safekeeping of the Fund's assets and the appointment of subcustodian banks
and clearing agencies.  The custodian takes no part in determining the
investment policies of the Fund or in deciding which securities are
purchased or sold by the Fund.  The Fund may, however, invest in
obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities from or sell
securities to the custodian.
 FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the Trust's
Trustees may from time to time have transactions with various banks,
including the Fund's custodian bank, and custodian banks for certain of the
funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date have included
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR,
the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by
existing or potential custodial or other Fund relationships.
 AUDITOR.  ____________________________ serves as the Trust's independent
accountant.  The auditor examines financial statements for the Fund and
provides other audit, tax, and related services.
APPENDIX
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY is derived by multiplying the value of
each investment by the number of days remaining to its maturity, adding
these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's
portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated
final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.
For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take
advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or
redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be
called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date.
Also, the maturities of mortgage-backed securities and some asset-backed
securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are determined on
a weighted average life basis, which is the average time for principal to
be repaid. For a mortgage security, this average time is calculated by
assuming a constant prepayment rate for the life of the mortgage. The
weighted average life of these securities is likely to be substantially
shorter than their stated final maturity.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective
elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most
unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high
grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other
elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than
in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any
great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements. Their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payment of or maintenance
of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
CAA - Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default
or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.
CA - Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked
short-comings.
C - Bonds rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and issued so rated
can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2, and 3, in each generic rating
classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and
the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its
generic rating category.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest-rated debt issues only in small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher rated
categories.
BB - Debt rate BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has
the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual
or implied BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default,
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is
not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned on actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C rating may
be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed but
debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when
interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due even
if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that
such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating will also
be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments
are jeopardized.
The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Exhibit 5(e)
FORM OF
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
between
FIDELITY ADVISOR SERIES IV:
FIDELITY REAL ESTATE HIGH INCOME FUND
and
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
 AGREEMENT made this 1st day of ____________ 19__, by and between Fidelity
Advisor Series IV, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or
more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the
"Fund"), on behalf of Fidelity Real Estate High Income Fund (hereinafter
called the "Portfolio"), and Fidelity Management & Research Company, a
Massachusetts corporation (hereinafter called the "Adviser").
 1. (a) Investment Advisory Services.  The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser.  The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities.  The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio.  The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
  (b) Management Services.  The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund.  The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
 The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable.  The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees. 
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
  (c) The Adviser undertakes to pay all expenses involved in the operation
of the Portfolio, except the following, which shall be paid by the
Portfolio:  (i) taxes; (ii) the fees and expenses of all Trustees of the
Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser; (iii)
brokerage fees and commissions; (iv) interest expenses with respect to
borrowings by the Portfolio; and (v) such non-recurring and extraordinary
expenses as may arise, including actions, suits or proceedings to which the
Portfolio is or is threatened to be a party and the legal obligation that
the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Fund's Trustees and officers with
respect thereto.  It is understood that service charges billed directly to
shareholders of the Portfolio, including charges for exchanges,
redemptions, or other services, shall not be payable by the Adviser, but
may be received and retained by the Adviser or its affiliates.
  (d) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser.  The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received.  In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion.  The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer.  This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion.  The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
 The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor.  The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
 2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
 3. For the services and facilities to be furnished hereunder, the Adviser
shall receive a monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as
practicable after the last day of each month, at the annual rate of ____%
of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner
set forth in the Declaration of Trust) throughout the month; provided that
the fee, so computed, shall be reduced by the compensation, including
reimbursement of expenses, paid by the Portfolio to those Trustees who are
not "interested persons" of the Fund or the Adviser.
  In case of initiation or termination of this Contract during any month,
the fee for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the
number of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed
upon the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for
that month.
 4. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder.  In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security or other
investment instrument.
 5. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 5, this Contract shall continue in force until June 30, 19__
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
  (b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
  (c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 5, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
  (d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior
written notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of
any penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case
may be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.  This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
 6. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational documents and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund.  In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee.  The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.
 7. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the
choice of laws provisions thereof.
 The terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,"
"assignment," and "interested persons," when used herein, shall have the
respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act, as now in effect or as
hereafter amended, and subject to such orders as may be granted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have caused this instrument to be signed in
their behalf by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, and
their respective seals to be hereunto affixed, all as of the date written
above.

Exhibit 6(c)
FORM OF
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
between
FIDELITY ADVISOR SERIES IV
and
FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION
 Agreement made this ___ day of         , 19  , between Fidelity Advisor
Series IV, a Massachusetts business trust having its principal place of
business in Boston, Massachusetts and which may issue one or more series of
beneficial interest ("Issuer"), with respect to shares of Fidelity Real
Estate High Income Fund, a series of the Issuer, and Fidelity Distributors
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation having its principal place of
business in Boston, Massachusetts ("Distributors").
 In consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale of Shares - The Issuer grants to Distributors the right to sell
shares on behalf of the Issuer during the term of this Agreement and
subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("1933 Act"), and of the laws governing the sale of securities in
the various states ("Blue Sky Laws") under the following terms and
conditions: Distributors (i) shall have the right to sell, as agent on
behalf of the Issuer, shares authorized for issue and registered under the
1933 Act, and (ii) may sell shares under offers of exchange, if available,
between and among the funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research
Company ("FMR").
2. Sale of Shares by the Issuer - The rights granted to Distributors shall
be nonexclusive in that the Issuer reserves the right to sell its shares to
investors on applications received and accepted by the Issuer.  Further,
the Issuer reserves the right to issue shares in connection with the merger
or consolidation, or acquisition by the Issuer through purchase or
otherwise, with any other investment company, trust, or personal holding
company.
3. Shares Covered by this Agreement - This Agreement shall apply to
unissued shares of the Issuer, shares of the Issuer held in its treasury in
the event that in the discretion of the Issuer treasury shares shall be
sold, and shares of the Issuer repurchased for resale.
4. Public Offering Price - Except as otherwise noted in the Issuer's
current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, all shares
sold to investors by Distributors or the Issuer will be sold at the public
offering price.  The public offering price for all accepted subscriptions
will be the net asset value per share, as determined in the manner
described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional
Information, plus a sales charge (if any) described in the Issuer's current
Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information.  The Issuer shall in
all cases receive the net asset value per share on all sales.  If a sales
charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right subject to such
rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as may then
be in effect pursuant to Section 22 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
to pay a portion of the sales charge to dealers who have sold shares of the
Issuer.  If a fee in connection with shareholder redemptions is in effect,
the Issuer shall collect the fee on behalf of Distributors and, unless
otherwise agreed upon by the Issuer and Distributors, Distributors shall be
entitled to receive all of such fees.
5. Suspension of Sales - If and whenever the determination of net asset
value is suspended and until such suspension is terminated, no further
orders for shares shall be processed by Distributors except such
unconditional orders as may have been placed with Distributors before it
had knowledge of the suspension.  In addition, the Issuer reserves the
right to suspend sales and Distributors' authority to process orders for
shares on behalf of the Issuer if, in the judgment of the Issuer, it is in
the best interests of the Issuer to do so.  Suspension will continue for
such period as may be determined by the Issuer.
6. Solicitation of Sales - In consideration of these rights granted to
Distributors, Distributors agrees to use all reasonable efforts, consistent
with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the Issuer. 
This shall not prevent Distributors from entering into like arrangements
(including arrangements involving the payment of underwriting commissions)
with other issuers.  This does not obligate Distributors to register as a
broker or dealer under the Blue Sky Laws of any jurisdiction in which it is
not now registered or to maintain its registration in any jurisdiction in
which it is now registered.  If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors
shall have the right to enter into sales agreements with dealers of its
choice for the sale of shares of the Issuer to the public at the public
offering price only and fix in such agreements the portion of the sales
charge which may be retained by dealers, provided that the Issuer shall
approve the form of the dealer agreement and the dealer discounts set forth
therein and shall evidence such approval by filing said form of dealer
agreement and amendments thereto as an exhibit to its currently effective
Registration Statement under the 1933 Act.
7. Authorized Representations - Distributors is not authorized by the
Issuer to give any information or to make any representations other than
those contained in the appropriate registration statements or Prospectuses
and Statements of Additional Information filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act (as these registration statements,
Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information may be amended from
time to time), or contained in shareholder reports or other material that
may be prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer for Distributors' use.  This
shall not be construed to prevent Distributors from preparing and
distributing sales literature or other material as it may deem appropriate.
8. Portfolio Securities - Portfolio securities of the Issuer may be bought
or sold by or through Distributors, and Distributors may participate
directly or indirectly in brokerage commissions or "spreads" for
transactions in portfolio securities of the Issuer.  
9. Registration of Shares - The Issuer agrees that it will take all action
necessary to register shares under the 1933 Act (subject to the necessary
approval of its shareholders) so that there will be available for sale the
number of shares Distributors may reasonably be expected to sell.  The
Issuer shall make available to Distributors such number of copies of its
currently effective Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as
Distributors may reasonably request.  The Issuer shall furnish to
Distributors copies of all information, financial statements and other
papers which Distributors may reasonably request for use in connection with
the distribution of shares of the Issuer.
10. Expenses - The Issuer shall pay all fees and expenses (a) in connection
with the preparation, setting in type and filing of any registration
statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information under the
1933 Act and amendments for the issue of its shares, (b) in connection with
the registration and qualification of shares for sale in the various states
in which the Board of Trustees of the Issuer shall determine it advisable
to qualify such shares for sale (including registering the Issuer as a
broker or dealer or any officer of the Issuer as agent or salesman in any
state), (c) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing any report
or other communication to shareholders of the Issuer in their capacity as
such, and (d) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing
Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and any supplements
thereto sent to existing shareholders.  
 As provided in the Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Issuer, it
is recognized by the Issuer that FMR may reimburse Distributors for any
direct expenses incurred in the distribution of shares of the Issuer from
any source available to it, including advisory and service or management
fees paid to it by the Issuer. 
11. Indemnification - The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Distributors and each of its directors and officers and each person, if
any, who controls Distributors within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the
reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability,
claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in
connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares,
based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus,
Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other
information filed or made public by the Issuer (as from time to time
amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make
the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or
the common law.  However, the Issuer does not agree to indemnify
Distributors or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or
omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information
furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of Distributors.  In no case (i) is
the indemnity of the Issuer in favor of Distributors or any person
indemnified to be deemed to protect Distributors or any person against any
liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which Distributors or
such person would otherwise be subject by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of
its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
or (ii) is the Issuer to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained
in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against Distributors or
any person indemnified unless Distributors or person, as the case may be,
shall have notified the Issuer in writing of the claim within a reasonable
time after the summons or other first written notification giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon
Distributors or any such person (or after Distributors or such person shall
have received notice of service on any designated agent).  However, failure
to notify the Issuer of any claim shall not relieve the Issuer from any
liability which it may have to Distributors or any person against whom such
action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement
contained in this paragraph.  The Issuer shall be entitled to participate
at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the
defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims, but if the Issuer elects
to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by
it and satisfactory to Distributors or person or persons, defendant or
defendants in the suit.  In the event the Issuer elects to assume the
defense of any suit and retain counsel, Distributors, officers or directors
or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit,
shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by
them.  If the Issuer does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it
will reimburse Distributors, officers or directors or controlling person or
persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and
expenses of any counsel retained by them.  The Issuer agrees to notify
Distributors promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings
against it or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the
issuance or sale of any of the shares.
 Distributors also covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold
harmless the Issuer and each of its Board members and officers and each
person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, damages, claim or expense
(including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged
loss, liability, damages, claim or expense and reasonable counsel fees
incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring
any shares, based upon the 1933 Act or any other statute or common law,
alleging any wrongful act of Distributors or any of its employees or
alleging that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of
Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or
made public by the Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading,
insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in
conformity with information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of
Distributors.  In no case (i) is the indemnity of Distributors in favor of
the Issuer or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Issuer or
any person against any liability to which the Issuer or such person would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is
Distributors to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph with respect to any claim made against the Issuer or any person
indemnified unless the Issuer or person, as the case may be, shall have
notified Distributors in writing of the claim within a reasonable time
after the summons or other first written notification giving information of
the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Issuer or any such
person (or after the Issuer or such person shall have received notice of
service on any designated agent).  However, failure to notify Distributors
of any claim shall not relieve Distributors from any liability which it may
have to the Issuer or any person against whom the action is brought
otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph.  In the case of any notice to Distributors, it shall be entitled
to participate, at its own expense, in the defense or, if it so elects, to
assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim, but if
Distributors elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted
by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Issuer, to its officers and
Board and to any controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in
the suit.  In the event that Distributors elects to assume the defense of
any suit and retain counsel, the Issuer or controlling persons, defendant
or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expense of any
additional counsel retained by them.  If Distributors does not elect to
assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Issuer, officers and
Board or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the
suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. 
Distributors agrees to notify the Issuer promptly of the commencement of
any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issue and
sale of any of the shares.
12. Effective Date - This agreement shall be effective upon its execution,
and unless terminated as provided, shall continue in force until January
31, 199 _  and thereafter from year to year, provided continuance is
approved annually by the vote of a majority of the Board members of the
Issuer, and by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not
"interested persons" of the Issuer and, if a plan under Rule 12b-1 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 is in effect, by the vote of those Board
members of the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and
who are not parties to the Distribution and Service Plan or this Agreement
and have no financial interest in the operation of the Distribution and
Service Plan or in any agreements related to the Distribution and Service
Plan, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the
approval.  This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment.  As used in this paragraph, the terms "assignment" and
"interested persons" shall have the respective meanings specified in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as now in effect or as hereafter amended. 
In addition to termination by failure to approve continuance or by
assignment, this Agreement may at any time be terminated by either party
upon not less than sixty days' prior written notice to the other party.
13. Notice - Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party
to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving notice to the other
party at the last address furnished by the other party to the party giving
notice: if to the Issuer, at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts,
and if to Distributors, at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts.
14. Limitation of Liability - Distributors is expressly put on notice of
the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of
Trust or other organizational document of the Issuer and agrees that the
obligations assumed by the Issuer under this contract shall be limited in
all cases to the Issuer and its assets.  Distributors shall not seek
satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any
shareholder of the Issuer.  Nor shall Distributors seek satisfaction of any
such obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee of the Issuer. 
Distributors understands that the rights and obligations of each series of
shares of the Issuer under the Issuer's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other series.
15. This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the
choice of laws provisions thereof.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has executed this instrument in its name
and behalf, and its seal affixed, by one of its officers duly authorized,
and Distributors has executed this instrument in its name and behalf by one
of its officers duly authorized, as of the day and year first above
written.

FORM OF
CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT
 AGREEMENT made as of the     day of                       between Fidelity
Advisor Series IV (the "Fund") and The Bank of New York (the "Custodian").
W I T N E S S E T H
 WHEREAS, the Fund may, from time to time organize one or more series of
shares, in addition to the series set forth in Appendix "A" attached
hereto, each of which shall represent an interest in a separate portfolio
of cash, securities and other assets (all such existing and additional
series now or hereafter listed on Appendix "A" being hereinafter referred
to individually, as a "Portfolio," and collectively, as the "Portfolios");
and
 WHEREAS, the Fund desires to appoint the Custodian as custodian on behalf
of the Portfolios in accordance with the provisions of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and the rules and regulations
thereunder, under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and
the Custodian has agreed so to act as custodian.
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN
 On behalf of the Portfolios, the Fund hereby employs and appoints the
Custodian as a custodian, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.  The Fund shall deliver to the Custodian, or shall cause to be
delivered to the Custodian, cash, securities and other assets owned by the
Portfolios from time to time during the term of this Agreement and shall
specify the Portfolio to which such cash, securities and other assets are
to be specifically allocated.
ARTICLE II
POWERS AND DUTIES OF CUSTODIAN
 As custodian, the Custodian shall have and perform the powers and duties
set forth in this Article II.  Pursuant to and in accordance with Article
IV hereof, the Custodian may appoint one or more Subcustodians (as
hereinafter defined) to exercise the powers and perform the duties of the
Custodian set forth in this Article II and references to the Custodian in
this Article II shall include any Subcustodian so appointed.
 Section 2.01.  Safekeeping.  The Custodian shall keep safely all cash,
securities and other assets of the Portfolios delivered to the Custodian
and, on behalf of the Portfolios, the Custodian shall, from time to time,
accept delivery of cash, securities and other assets for safekeeping.
 Section 2.02.  Manner of Holding Securities.
  (a) The Custodian shall at all times hold securities of the Portfolios
either:  (i) by physical possession of the share certificates or other
instruments representing such securities in registered or bearer form; or
(ii) in book-entry form by a Securities System (as hereinafter defined) in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 below.
  (b) The Custodian shall at all times hold registered securities of each
Portfolio in the name of the Custodian, the Portfolio or a nominee of
either of them, unless specifically directed by Proper Instructions to hold
such registered securities in so-called street name; provided that, in any
event, all such securities and other assets shall be held in an account of
the Custodian containing only assets of a Portfolio, or only assets held by
Custodian as a fiduciary or custodian for customers, and provided further,
that the records of the Custodian shall indicate at all times the Portfolio
or other customer for which such securities and other assets are held in
such account and the respective interests therein.
 Section 2.03.  Security Purchases.  Upon receipt of Proper Instructions
(as hereinafter defined), the Custodian shall pay for and receive
securities purchased for the account of a Portfolio, provided that payment
shall be made by Custodian only upon receipt of the securities:  (a) by the
Custodian; (b) by a clearing corporation of a national securities exchange
of which the Custodian is a member; or (c) by a Securities System. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of Proper Instructions:  (i) in
the case of a repurchase agreement, the Custodian may release funds to a
Securities System prior to the receipt of advice from the Securities System
that the securities underlying such repurchase agreement have been
transferred by book-entry into the Account (as hereinafter defined)
maintained with such Securities System by the Custodian, provided that the
Custodian's instructions to the Securities system require that the
Securities System may make payment of such funds to the other party to the
repurchase agreement only upon transfer by book-entry of the securities
underlying the repurchase agreement into the Account; (ii) in the case of
time deposits, call account deposits, currency deposits, and other
deposits, foreign exchange transactions, futures contracts or options,
pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.12 and 2.13 hereof, the Custodian may
make payment therefor before receipt of an advice or confirmation
evidencing said deposit or entry into such transaction; (iii) in the case
of the purchase of securities, the settlement of which occurs outside of
the United States of America, the Custodian may make payment therefor and
receive delivery of such securities in accordance with local custom and
practice generally accepted by Institutional Clients (as hereinafter
defined) in the country in which the settlement occurs, but in all events
subject to the standard of care set forth in Article V hereof; and (iv) in

not reasonably foreseeable by the Fund.  The Custodian shall promptly
notify the Fund in writing (an "Overdraft Notice") of any Overdraft by

ARTICLE III
PROPER INSTRUCTIONS, SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
AND RELATED MATTERS
 Section 3.01.  Proper Instructions and Special Instructions.
 (a) Proper Instructions.  As used herein, the term "Proper Instructions"
shall mean:  (i) a tested telex, a written (including, without limitation,
facsimile transmission) request, direction, instruction or certification
signed or initialed by or on behalf of the Fund by one or more Authorized
Persons (as hereinafter defined); (ii) a telephonic or other oral
communication by one or more Authorized Persons; or (iii) a communication
effected directly between an electro-mechanical or electronic device or
system (including, without limitation, computers) by or on behalf of the
Fund by one or more Authorized Persons; provided, however, that
communications of the types described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above
purporting to be given by an Authorized Person shall be considered Proper
Instructions only if the Custodian reasonably believes such communications
to have been given by an Authorized Person with respect to the transaction
involved.  Proper Instructions in the form of oral communications shall be
confirmed by the Fund by tested telex or in writing in the manner set forth
in clause (i) above, but the lack of such confirmation shall in no way
affect any action taken by the Custodian in reliance upon such oral
instructions prior to the Custodian's receipt of such confirmation.  The
Fund and the Custodian are hereby authorized to record any and all
telephonic or other oral instructions communicated to the Custodian. 
Proper Instructions may relate to specific transactions or to types or
classes of transactions, and may be in the form of standing instructions.
 (b) Special Instructions.  As used herein, the term "Special Instructions"
shall mean Proper Instructions countersigned or confirmed in writing by the
Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Fund or any other person
designated by the Treasurer of the Fund in writing, which countersignature
or confirmation shall be (i)included on the same instrument containing the
Proper Instructions or on a separate instrument relating thereto, and (ii)
delivered by hand, by facsimile transmission, or in such other manner as
the Fund and the Custodian agree in writing.
 (c) Address for Proper Instructions and Special Instructions.  Proper

shall deliver to the Custodian, duly certified as appropriate by a
Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer of the Fund, a certificate setting forth: 
(a) the names, titles, signatures and scope of authority of all persons

(collectively, the "Authorized Persons" and individually, an "Authorized

authorized to issue Special Instructions.  Such certificate may be accepted
and relied upon by the Custodian as conclusive evidence of the facts set
forth therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect until
delivery to the Custodian of a similar certificate to the contrary.  Upon
delivery of a certificate which deletes the name(s) of a person previously
authorized to give Proper Instructions or to issue Special Instructions,
such persons shall no longer be considered an Authorized Person or

ARTICLE IV
SUBCUSTODIANS
 The Custodian may, from time to time, in accordance with the relevant
provisions of this Article IV, appoint one or more Domestic Subcustodians,
Foreign Subcustodians, Interim Subcustodians and Special Subcustodians to
act on behalf of a Portfolio.  (For purposes of this Agreement, all duly
appointed Domestic Subcustodians, Foreign Subcustodians, Interim
Subcustodians, and Special Subcustodians are hereinafter referred to
collectively, as "Subcustodians.")
 Section 4.01.  Domestic Subcustodians.  The Custodian may, at any time and
from time to time, appoint any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the
1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the
1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to act on behalf of one
or more Portfolios as a subcustodian for purposes of holding cash,
securities and other assets of such Portfolios and performing other
functions of the Custodian within the United States (a "Domestic
Subcustodian"); provided, that, the Custodian shall notify the Fund in
writing of the identity and qualifications of any proposed Domestic
Subcustodian at least thirty (30) days prior to appointment of such
Domestic Subcustodian, and the Fund may, in its sole discretion, by written
notice to the Custodian executed by an Authorized Person disapprove of the
appointment of such Domestic Subcustodian.  If following notice by the
Custodian to the Fund regarding appointment of a Domestic Subcustodian and
the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Fund
shall have failed to notify the Custodian of its disapproval thereof, the
Custodian may, in its discretion, appoint such proposed Domestic
Subcustodian as its subcustodian.
 Section 4.02.  Foreign Subcustodians and Interim Subcustodians.
 (a) Foreign Subcustodians.  The Custodian may, at any time and from time
to time, appoint: (i) any bank, trust company or other entity meeting the
requirements of an "eligible foreign custodian" under Section 17(f) of the
1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or by order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission exempted therefrom, or (ii) any bank as
defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a
custodian under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder to act on behalf of one or more Portfolios as a subcustodian for
purposes of holding cash, securities and other assets of such Portfolios
and performing other functions of the Custodian in countries other than the
United States of America (a "Foreign Subcustodian"); provided, that, prior
to the appointment of any Foreign Subcustodian, the Custodian shall have
obtained written confirmation of the approval of the Board of Trustees or
other governing body or entity of the Fund on behalf of the applicable
Portfolio(s) (which approval may be withheld in the sole discretion of such
Board of Trustees or other governing body or entity) with respect to (i)
the identity and qualifications of any proposed Foreign Subcustodian, (ii)
the country or countries in which, and the securities depositories or
clearing agencies, if any, through which, any proposed Foreign Subcustodian
is authorized to hold securities and other assets of the Portfolio(s), and
(iii) the form and terms of the subcustodian agreement to be entered into
between such proposed Foreign Subcustodian and the Custodian.  Each such
duly approved Foreign Subcustodian and the countries where and the
securities depositories and clearing agencies through which they may hold
securities and other assets of the Funds shall be listed on Appendix "B"
attached hereto, as it may be amended, from time to time, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) hereof.  The Fund shall be
responsible for informing the Custodian sufficiently in advance of a
proposed investment which is to be held in a country in which no Foreign
Subcustodian is authorized to act, in order that there shall be sufficient
time for the Custodian to effect the appropriate arrangements with a
proposed foreign subcustodian, including obtaining approval as provided in
this Section 4.02(a).  The Custodian shall not amend any subcustodian
agreement entered into with a Foreign Subcustodian, or agree to change or
permit any changes thereunder, or waive any rights under such agreement,
which materially affect the Fund's rights  or the Foreign Subcustodian's
obligations or duties to the Fund under such agreement, except upon prior
approval pursuant to Special Instructions.
 (b) Interim Subcustodians.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that a Portfolio shall invest in a security or other asset to be held in a
country in which no Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to act, the
Custodian shall promptly notify the Fund in writing by facsimile
transmission or in such other manner as the Fund and Custodian shall agree
in writing of the unavailability of an approved Foreign Subcustodian in
such country; and the Custodian shall, upon receipt of Special
Instructions, appoint any Person designated by the Fund in such Special
Instructions to hold such security or other asset.  (Any Person appointed
as a subcustodian pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) is hereinafter referred
to as an "Interim Subcustodian.")
 Section 4.03.  Special Subcustodians.  Upon receipt of Special
Instructions, the Custodian shall, on behalf of the Fund for one or more
Portfolios, appoint one or more banks, trust companies or other entities
designated in such Special Instructions to act as a subcustodian for
purposes of:  (i) effecting third-party repurchase transactions with banks,
brokers, dealers or other entities through the use of a common custodian or
subcustodian; (ii) establishing a joint trading account for the Portfolios
and other registered open-end management investment companies for which
Fidelity Management & Research Company serves as investment adviser,
through which the Portfolios and such other investment companies shall
collectively participate in certain repurchase transactions; (iii)
providing depository and clearing agency services with respect to certain
variable rate demand note securities; and (iv) effecting any other
transactions designated by the Fund in Special Instructions.  (Each such
designated subcustodian is hereinafter referred to as a "Special
Subcustodian.")  Each such duly appointed Special Subcustodian shall be
listed on Appendix "B" attached hereto, as it may be amended from time to
time in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) hereof.  In
connection with the appointment of any Special Subcustodian, the Custodian
shall enter into a subcustodian agreement with the Special Subcustodian in
form and substance approved by the Fund, provided that such agreement shall
in all events comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder and the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  The
Custodian shall not amend any subcustodian agreement entered into with a
Special Subcustodian, or agree to change or permit any changes thereunder,
or waive any rights under such agreement, except upon prior approval
pursuant to Special Instructions.
 Section 4.04.  Termination of a Subcustodian.  The Custodian shall (i)
cause each Domestic Subcustodian and Foreign Subcustodian to, and (ii) use
its best efforts to cause each Interim Subcustodian and Special
Subcustodian to, perform all of its obligations in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the subcustodian agreement between the Custodian
and such Subcustodian.  In the event that the Custodian is unable to cause
such Subcustodian to fully perform its obligations thereunder, the
Custodian shall forthwith, upon the receipt of Special Instructions,
terminate such Subcustodian with respect to the Fund and, if necessary or
desirable, appoint a replacement Subcustodian in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, as the case may be.  In
addition to the foregoing, the Custodian (A) may, at any time in its
discretion, upon written notification to the Fund, terminate any Domestic
Subcustodian, Foreign Subcustodian or Interim Subcustodian, and (B) shall,
upon receipt of Special Instructions, terminate any Subcustodian with
respect to the Fund, in accordance with the termination provisions under
the applicable subcustodian agreement.
 Section 4.05.  Certification Regarding Foreign Subcustodians.  Upon
request of the Fund, the Custodian shall deliver to the Fund a certificate
stating:  (i) the identity of each Foreign Subcustodian then acting on
behalf of the Custodian; (ii) the countries in which and the securities
depositories and clearing agents through which each such Foreign
Subcustodian is then holding cash, securities and other assets of any
Portfolio; and (iii) such other information as may be requested by the Fund
to ensure compliance with Rule 17(f)-5 under the 1940 Act.
ARTICLE V
STANDARD OF CARE; INDEMNIFICATION
 Section 5.01.  Standard of Care.
 (a) General Standard of Care.  The Custodian shall exercise reasonable
care and diligence in carrying out all of its duties and obligations under
this Agreement, and shall be liable to the Fund for all loss, damage and
expense suffered or incurred by the Fund or the Portfolios resulting from
the failure of the Custodian to exercise such reasonable care and
diligence.
 (b) Actions Prohibited by Applicable Law, Etc.  In no event shall the
Custodian incur liability hereunder if the Custodian or any Subcustodian or
Securities System, or any subcustodian, securities depository or securities
system utilized by any such Subcustodian, or any nominee of the Custodian
or any Subcustodian (individually, a "Person") is prevented, forbidden or
delayed from performing, or omits to perform, any act or thing which this
Agreement provides shall be performed or omitted to be performed, by reason
of:  (i) any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order
of the United States of America, or any state thereof, or of any foreign
country, or political subdivision thereof or of any court of competent
jurisdiction; or (ii) any act of God or war or other similar circumstance
beyond the control of the Custodian, unless, in each case, such delay or
nonperformance is caused by (A) the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct
of the applicable Person, or (B) a malfunction or failure of equipment
operated or utilized by the applicable Person other than a malfunction or
failure beyond such Person's control and which could not reasonably be
anticipated and/or prevented by such Person.
 (c) Mitigation by Custodian.  Upon the occurrence of any event which
causes or may cause any loss, damage or expense to the Fund or any
Portfolio, (i) the Custodian shall, (ii) the Custodian shall cause any
applicable Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Subcustodian to, and (iii) the
Custodian shall use its best efforts to cause any applicable Interim
Subcustodian or Special Subcustodian to, use all commercially reasonable
efforts and take all reasonable steps under the circumstances to mitigate
the effects of such event and to avoid continuing harm to the Fund and the
Portfolios.
 (d) Advice of Counsel.  The Custodian shall be entitled to receive and act
upon advice of counsel on all matters. The Custodian shall be without
liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted in good faith pursuant
to the advice of (i) counsel for the Fund, or (ii) at the expense of the
Custodian, such other counsel as the Fund and the Custodian may agree upon;
provided, however, with respect to the performance of any action or
omission of any action upon such advice, the Custodian shall be required to
conform to the standard of care set forth in Section 5.01(a).
 (e) Expenses of the Fund.  In addition to the liability of the Custodian
under this Article V, the Custodian shall be liable to the Fund for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with any
claim by the Fund against the Custodian arising from the obligations of the
Custodian hereunder including, without limitation, all reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the Fund in asserting any such
claim, and all expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with any
investigations, lawsuits or proceedings relating to such claim; provided,
that the Fund has recovered from the Custodian for such claim.
 (f) Liability for Past Records.   The Custodian shall have no liability in
respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Fund, insofar as
such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Custodian's
duties hereunder by reason of the Custodian's reliance upon records that
were maintained for the Fund by entities other than the Custodian prior to
the Custodian's employment hereunder.
 Section 5.02.  Liability of Custodian for Actions of Other Persons.
 (a) Domestic Subcustodians and Foreign Subcustodians.  The Custodian shall
be liable for the actions or omissions of any Domestic Subcustodian or any
Foreign Subcustodian to the same extent as if such action or omission were
performed by the Custodian itself.  In the event of any loss, damage or
expense suffered or incurred by the Fund caused by or resulting from the
actions or omissions of any Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Subcustodian
for which the Custodian would otherwise be liable, the Custodian shall
promptly reimburse the Fund in the amount of any such loss, damage or
expense.
 (b) Interim Subcustodians.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01
to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be liable to the Fund for any
loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Fund or any Portfolio
resulting from the actions or omissions of an Interim Subcustodian unless
such loss, damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence,
misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian; provided, however, in the event
of any such loss, damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all
reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against such Interim
Subcustodian to protect the interests of the Fund and the Portfolios.
 (c) Special Subcustodians.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01
to the contrary and except as otherwise provided in any subcustodian
agreement to which the Custodian, the Fund and any Special Subcustodian are
parties, the Custodian shall not be liable to the Fund for any loss, damage
or expense suffered or incurred by the Fund or any Portfolio resulting from
the actions or omissions of a Special Subcustodian, unless such loss,
damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence,
misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian; provided, however, that in the
event of any such loss, damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all
reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against any Special
Subcustodian to protect the interests of the Fund and the Portfolios.
 (d) Securities Systems.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 to
the contrary, the Custodian shall not be liable to the Fund for any loss,
damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Fund or any Portfolio
resulting from the use by the Custodian of a Securities System, unless such
loss, damage or expense is caused by, or results from, the negligence,
misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian; provided, however, that in the
event of any such loss, damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all
reasonable steps to enforce such rights as it may have against the
Securities System to protect the interests of the Fund and the Portfolios.
 (e) Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Fund agrees to reimburse the Custodian
for  all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Custodian in
connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 5.02;
provided, however, that such reimbursement shall not apply to expenses
occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct
of the Custodian.
 Section 5.03.  Indemnification.
 (a) Indemnification Obligations.  Subject to the limitations set forth in
this Agreement, the Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Custodian and its nominees from all loss, damage and expense (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by the Custodian or its
nominee caused by or arising from actions taken by the Custodian in the
performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that such indemnity shall not apply to loss, damage and expense
occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct
of the Custodian or its nominee.  In addition, the Fund agrees to indemnify
any Person against any liability incurred by reason of taxes assessed to
such Person, or other loss, damage or expenses incurred by such Person,
resulting from the fact that securities and other property of the
Portfolios are registered in the name of such Person; provided, however,
that in no event shall such indemnification be applicable to income,
franchise or similar taxes which may be imposed or assessed against any
Person.
 (b) Notice of Litigation, Right to Prosecute, Etc.  The Fund shall not be
liable for indemnification under this Section 5.03 unless a Person shall
have promptly notified the Fund in writing of the commencement of any
litigation or proceeding brought against such Person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought under this Section 5.03.  With respect to claims in
such litigation or proceedings for which indemnity by the Fund may be
sought and subject to applicable law and the ruling of any court of
competent jurisdiction, the Fund shall be entitled to participate in any
such litigation or proceeding and, after written notice from the Fund to
any Person, the Fund may assume the defense of such litigation or
proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense in respect of that
portion of the litigation for which the Fund may be subject to an
indemnification obligation; provided, however, a Person shall be entitled
to participate in (but not control) at its own cost and expense, the
defense of any such litigation or proceeding if the Fund has not
acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Person with respect
to such litigation or proceeding.  If the Fund is not permitted to
participate or control such litigation or proceeding under applicable law
or by a ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction, such Person shall
reasonably prosecute such litigation or proceeding.  A Person shall not
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in any
such litigation or proceeding without providing the Fund with adequate
notice of any such settlement or judgment, and without the Fund's prior
written consent.  All Persons shall submit written evidence to the Fund
with respect to any cost or expense for which they are seeking
indemnification in such form and detail as the Fund may reasonably request.
 Section 5.04.  Investment Limitations.  If the Custodian has otherwise
complied with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in performing its
duties generally, and more particularly in connection with the purchase,
sale or exchange of securities made by or for a Portfolio, the Custodian
shall not be liable to the Fund and the Fund agrees to indemnify the
Custodian and its nominees, for any loss, damage or expense suffered or
incurred by the Custodian and its nominees arising out of any violation of
any investment or other limitation to which the Fund is subject.
 Section 5.05.  Fund's Right to Proceed.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Fund shall have, at its election upon
reasonable notice to the Custodian, the right to enforce, to the extent
permitted by any applicable agreement and applicable law, the Custodian's
rights against any Subcustodian, Securities System, or other Person for
loss, damage or expense caused the Fund by such Subcustodian, Securities
System, or other Person, and shall be entitled to enforce the rights of the
Custodian with respect to any claim against such Subcustodian, Securities
System or other Person, which the Custodian may have as a consequence of
any such loss, damage or expense, if and to the extent that the Fund has
not been made whole for any such loss or damage.  If the Custodian makes
the Fund whole for any such loss or damage, the Custodian shall retain the
ability to enforce its rights directly against such Subcustodian,
Securities System or other Person.  Upon the Fund's election to enforce any
rights of the Custodian under this Section 5.05, the Fund shall reasonably
prosecute all actions and proceedings directly relating to the rights of
the Custodian in respect of the loss, damage or expense incurred by the
Fund; provided that, so long as the Fund has acknowledged in writing its
obligation to indemnify the Custodian under Section 5.03 hereof with
respect to such claim, the Fund shall retain the right to settle,
compromise and/or terminate any action or proceeding in respect of the
loss, damage or expense incurred by the Fund without the Custodian's
consent and provided further, that if the Fund has not made an
acknowledgement of its obligation to indemnify, the Fund shall not settle,
compromise or terminate any such action or proceeding without the written
consent of the Custodian, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.  The Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Fund and take all
actions reasonably requested by the Fund in connection with the Fund's
enforcement of any rights of the Custodian.  The Fund agrees to reimburse
the Custodian for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Custodian in connection with the fulfillment of its obligations under this
Section 5.05; provided, however, that such reimbursement shall not apply to
expenses occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or
misconduct of the Custodian.
ARTICLE VI
COMPENSATION
 On behalf of each Portfolio, the Fund shall compensate the Custodian in an
amount, and at such times, as may be agreed upon in writing, from time to
time, by the Custodian and the Fund.
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION
 Section 7.01.  Termination of Agreement in Full.  This Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect until the first to occur of:  (a)
termination by the Custodian by an instrument in writing delivered or
mailed to the Fund, such termination to take effect not sooner than ninety
(90) days after the date of such delivery; (b) termination by the Fund by
an instrument in writing delivered or mailed to the Custodian, such
termination to take effect not sooner than thirty (30) days after the date
of such delivery; or (c) termination by the Fund by written notice
delivered to the Custodian, based upon the Fund's determination that there
is a reasonable basis to conclude that the Custodian is insolvent or that
the financial condition of the Custodian is deteriorating in any material
respect, in which case termination shall take effect upon the Custodian's
receipt of such notice or at such later time as the Fund shall designate. 
In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Fund shall
make payment of all accrued fees and unreimbursed expenses within a
reasonable time following termination and delivery of a statement to the
Fund setting forth such fees and expenses.  The Fund shall identify in any
notice of termination a successor custodian to which the cash, securities
and other assets of the Portfolios shall, upon termination of this
Agreement, be delivered.  In the event that no written notice designating a
successor custodian shall have been delivered to the Custodian on or before
the date when termination of this Agreement shall become effective, the
Custodian may deliver to a bank or trust company doing business in Boston,
Massachusetts, of its own selection, having an aggregate capital, surplus,
and undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of not less
than $25,000,000, all securities and other assets held by the Custodian and
all instruments held by the Custodian relative thereto and all other
property held by it under this Agreement.  Thereafter, such bank or trust
company shall be the successor of the Custodian under this Agreement.  In
the event that securities and other assets remain in the possession of the
Custodian after the date of termination hereof owing to failure of the Fund
to appoint a successor custodian, the Custodian shall be entitled to
compensation for its services in accordance with the fee schedule most
recently in effect, for such period as the Custodian retains possession of
such securities and other assets, and the provisions of this Agreement
relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian and the Fund shall
remain in full force and effect.  In the event of the appointment of a
successor custodian, it is agreed that the cash, securities and other
property owned by the Fund and held by the Custodian, any Subcustodian or
nominee shall be delivered to the successor custodian; and the Custodian
agrees to cooperate with the Fund in the execution of documents and
performance of other actions necessary or desirable in order to substitute
the successor custodian for the Custodian under this Agreement.
 Section 7.02.  Termination as to One or More Portfolios.  This Agreement
may be terminated as to one or more Portfolios (but less than all of the
Portfolios) by delivery of an amended Appendix "A" deleting such Portfolios
pursuant to Section 9.05(b) hereof, in which case termination as to such
deleted Portfolios shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of
such delivery.  The execution and delivery of an amended Appendix "A" which
deletes one or more Portfolios shall constitute a termination of this
Agreement only with respect to such deleted Portfolio(s), shall be governed
by the preceding provisions of Section 7.01 as to the identification of a
successor custodian and the delivery of cash, securities and other assets
of the Portfolio(s) so deleted, and shall not affect the obligations of the
Custodian and the Fund hereunder with respect to the other Portfolios set
forth in Appendix "A," as amended from time to time.

APPENDIX "C" TO THE 
CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
Fidelity Advisor Series IV and The Bank of New York
Dated as of [          ]
PROCEDURES RELATING TO CUSTODIAN'S SECURITY INTEREST
 As security for any Overdrafts (as defined in the Custodian Agreement) of
any Portfolio, the Fund, on behalf of such Portfolio, shall pledge, assign
and grant to the Custodian a security interest in Collateral (as
hereinafter defined), under the terms, circumstances and conditions set
forth in this Appendix "C".
 Section 1.  Defined Terms.  As used in this Appendix "C" the following
terms shall have the following respective meanings:
 (a) "Business Day" shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or
a day on which the Custodian is closed for business.
 (b) "Collateral" shall mean, with respect to any Portfolio, the securities
having a fair market value (as determined in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the prospectus for the Portfolio) equal to the aggregate of
all Overdraft Obligations of such Portfolio: (i) identified in any Pledge
Certificate executed on behalf of such Portfolio; or (ii) designated by the
Custodian for such Portfolio pursuant to Section 3 of this Appendix C. 
Such securities shall consist of marketable securities held by the
Custodian on behalf of such Portfolio or, if no such marketable securities
are held by the Custodian on behalf of such Portfolio, such other
securities designated by the Fund in the applicable Pledge Certificate or
by the Custodian pursuant to Section 3 of this Appendix C.
 (c) "Overdraft Obligations" shall mean, with respect to any Portfolio, the
amount of any outstanding Overdraft(s) provided by the Custodian to such
Portfolio together with all accrued interest thereon.
 (d) "Pledge Certificate" shall mean a Pledge Certificate in the form
attached to this Appendix "C" as Schedule 1 executed by a duly authorized
officer of the Fund and delivered by the Fund to the Custodian by facsimile
transmission or in such other manner as the Fund and the Custodian may
agree in writing.
 (e) "Release Certificate" shall mean a Release Certificate in the form
attached to this Appendix "C" as Schedule 2 executed by a duly authorized
officer of the Custodian and delivered by the Custodian to the Fund by
facsimile transmission or in such other manner as the Fund and the
Custodian may agree in writing.
 (f) "Written Notice" shall mean a written notice executed by a duly
authorized officer of the party delivering the notice and delivered by
facsimile transmission or in such other manner as the Fund and the
Custodian shall agree in writing.
 Section 2.  Pledge of Collateral.  To the extent that any Overdraft
Obligations of any Portfolio are not satisfied within one (1) Business Day
after receipt by the Fund of a Written Notice requesting security for such
Overdraft Obligation and stating the amount of such Overdraft Obligation,
the Fund, on behalf of such Portfolio, shall pledge, assign and grant to
the Custodian a first priority security interest, by delivering to the
Custodian, a Pledge Certificate executed by the Fund on behalf of such
Portfolio describing the applicable Collateral.  Such Written Notice may,
in the discretion of the Custodian, be included within or accompany the
Overdraft Notice relating to the applicable Overdraft Obligations.
 Section 3.  Failure to Pledge Collateral.  In the event that the Fund
shall fail: (a) to pay, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, the
Overdraft Obligation described in such Written Notice; (b) to deliver to
the Custodian a Pledge Certificate pursuant to Section 2; or (c) to
identify substitute securities pursuant to Section 6  upon the sale or
maturity of any securities identified as Collateral, the Custodian may, by
Written Notice to the Fund specify Collateral which shall secure the
applicable Overdraft Obligation.  The Fund, on behalf of any applicable
Portfolio, hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Custodian a first
priority security interest in any and all Collateral specified in such
Written Notice; provided that such pledge, assignment and grant of security
shall be deemed to be effective only upon receipt by the Fund of such
Written Notice.
 Section 4.  Delivery of Additional Collateral.  If at any time the
Custodian shall notify the Fund by Written Notice that the fair market
value of the Collateral securing any Overdraft Obligation is less than the
amount of such Overdraft Obligation, the Fund, on behalf of the applicable
Portfolio, shall deliver to the Custodian, within one (1) Business Day
following the Fund's receipt of such Written Notice, an additional Pledge
Certificate describing additional Collateral.  If the Fund shall fail to
deliver such additional Pledge Certificate, the Custodian may specify
Collateral which shall secure the unsecured amount of the applicable
Overdraft Obligation in accordance with Section 3 of this Appendix C. 
 Section 5.  Release of Collateral.  Upon payment by the Fund of any
Overdraft Obligation secured by the pledge of Collateral, the Custodian
shall promptly deliver to the Fund a Release Certificate pursuant to which
the Custodian shall release Collateral from the lien under the applicable
Pledge Certificate or Written Notice pursuant to Section 3 having a fair
market value equal to the amount paid by the Fund on account of such
Overdraft Obligation.  In addition, if at any time the Fund shall notify
the Custodian by Written Notice that the Fund desires that specified
Collateral be released and: (a) that the fair market value of the
Collateral securing any Overdraft Obligation shall exceed the amount of
such Overdraft Obligation; or (b) that the Fund has delivered a Pledge
Certificate substituting Collateral for such Overdraft Obligation, the
Custodian shall deliver to the Fund, within one (1) Business Day following
the Custodian's receipt of such Written Notice, a Release Certificate
relating to the Collateral specified in such Written Notice.
 Section 6.  Substitution of Collateral.  The Fund may substitute
securities for any securities identified as Collateral by delivery to the
Custodian of a Pledge Certificate executed by the Fund on behalf of the
applicable Portfolio, indicating the securities pledged as Collateral.  
 Section 7.  Security for Individual Portfolios' Overdraft Obligations. 
The pledge of Collateral by the Fund on behalf of any individual Portfolio
shall secure only the Overdraft Obligations of such Portfolio.  In no event
shall the pledge of Collateral by one Portfolio be deemed or considered to
be security for the Overdraft Obligations of any other Portfolio.
 Section 8.  Custodian's Remedies.  Upon (a) the Fund's failure to pay any
Overdraft Obligation of a Portfolio within thirty (30) days after receipt
by the Fund of a Written Notice demanding security therefore, and (b) one
(1) Business Day's prior Written Notice to the Fund, the Custodian may
elect to enforce its security interest in the Collateral securing such
Overdraft Obligation, by taking title to (at the then prevailing fair
market value), or selling in a commercially reasonable manner, so much of
the Collateral as shall be required to pay such Overdraft Obligation in
full.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any applicable law, including,
without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code, the remedy set forth in
the preceding sentence shall be the only right or remedy to which the
Custodian is entitled with respect to the pledge and security interest
granted pursuant to any Pledge Certificate or Section 3, without limiting
the foregoing, the Custodian hereby waives and relinquishes all contractual
and common law rights of set off to which it may now or hereafter be or
become entitled with respect to any obligations of the Fund to the
Custodian arising under this Appendix C to the Agreement.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Appendix to be
executed in its name and behalf on the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 15(e)
FORM OF
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
of Fidelity Advisor Series IV:
Fidelity Real Estate High Income Fund
 1. This Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan"), when effective in
accordance with its terms, shall be the written plan contemplated by Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") of Fidelity Real
Estate High Income Fund (the "Portfolio"), a series of shares of Fidelity
Advisor Series IV (the "Fund").
 2. The Fund has entered into a General Distribution Agreement with respect
to the Portfolio with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (the
"Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity Management & Research
Company (the "Adviser"), under which the Distributor uses all reasonable
efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for the
Portfolio's shares of beneficial interest ("shares").  Under the agreement,
the Distributor pays the expenses of printing and distributing any
prospectuses, reports and other literature used by the Distributor,
advertising, and other promotional activities in connection with the
offering of shares of the Portfolio for sale to the public.  It is
understood that the Adviser may reimburse the Distributor for these
expenses from any source available to it, including management fees paid to
it by the Portfolio.
 3. The Adviser directly, or through the Distributor, may, subject to the
approval of the Trustees, make payments to securities dealers and other
third parties who engage in the sale of shares or who render shareholder
support services, including but not limited to providing office space,
equipment and telephone facilities, answering routine inquiries regarding
the Portfolio, processing shareholder transactions and providing such other
shareholder services as the Fund may reasonably request.
 4. The Portfolio will not make separate payments as a result of this Plan
to the Adviser, Distributor or any other party, it being recognized that
the Portfolio presently pays, and will continue to pay, a management fee to
the Adviser.  To the extent that any payments made by the Portfolio to the
Adviser, including payment of management fees, should be deemed to be
indirect financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale
of shares of the Portfolio within the context of Rule 12b-1 under the Act,
then such payments shall be deemed to be authorized by this Plan.
 5. This Plan shall become effective upon the first business day of the
month following approval by a vote of at least a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio" (as defined in the Act),
the plan having been approved by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of
the Fund, including a majority of Trustees who are not "interested persons"
of the Fund (as defined in the Act) and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of this Plan or in any agreements
related to this Plan (the "Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan.
 6. This Plan shall, unless terminated as hereinafter provided, remain in
effect from the date specified above until June 30,1995 and from year to
year thereafter, provided, however, that such continuance is subject to
approval annually by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund,
including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan.  This Plan may be
amended at any time by the Board of Trustees, provided that (a) any
amendment to authorize direct payments by the Portfolio to finance any
activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the
Portfolio, to increase materially the amount spent by the Portfolio for
distribution, or any amendment of the Management Contract to increase the
amount to be paid by the Portfolio thereunder shall be effective only upon
approval by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio, and (b) any material amendments of this Plan shall be
effective only upon approval in the manner provided in the first sentence
in this paragraph.
 7. This Plan may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any
penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by a vote of
a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.
 8. During the existence of this Plan, the Fund shall require the Adviser
and/or Distributor to provide the Fund, for review by the Fund's Board of
Trustees, and the Trustees shall review, at least quarterly, a written
report of the amounts expended in connection with financing any activity
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Portfolio (making
estimates of such costs where necessary or desirable) and the purposes for
which such expenditures were made.
 9. This Plan does not require the Adviser or Distributor to perform any
specific type or level of distribution activities or to incur any specific
level of expenses for activities primarily intended to result in the sale
of shares of the Portfolio.
 10. Consistent with the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth
in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document, any
obligations assumed by the Portfolio pursuant to this Plan and any
agreements related to this Plan shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and shall not constitute obligations of any other
series of shares of the Fund.
 11. If any provision of this Plan shall be held or made invalid by a court
decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Plan shall not
be affected thereby.
