FINANCIAL HISTORY
The purpose of the table below is to assist you in understanding the
various costs and expenses that an investor in each Fund would bear
directly or indirectly. This standard format was developed for use by all
mutual funds to help investors make their investment decisions. This
expense information should be considered along with other important
information such as each Fund's investment objective and past performance.
1.SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES
Maximum Sales Charge (as a percentage of the offering price)
- -Short Fixed-Income Fund 1.50%
-Other Fidelity Advisor Funds 4.75%
Sales Charge on Reinvested Dividends None
Deferred Sales Charge on Redemptions None
Redemption Fees None
Exchange Fees None
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES represent charges paid when you
purchase, sell or exchange shares of a Fund. If you exchange shares
or direct dividends of Short Fixed-Income Fund into other Fidelity Advisor
Funds, a differential sales charge may apply. Lower sales charges may be
available with purchases over $50,000 or in conjunction with various
programs. See "How To Buy Shares," page 11.
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are based on historical expenses for the most
recent fiscal year ended. Management fees are paid by each Fund to Fidelity
Management & Research Company (FMR) for managing its investments and
business affairs. Management fees for Overseas, Growth Opportunities and
Strategic Opportunities will vary based on performance. 12b-1 fees are paid
by the Funds to Distributors for services and expenses in connection with
the distribution of Fund shares. Long-term shareholders may pay more than
the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charges permitted by
the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) due to 12b-1
payments. The Funds incur other expenses for maintaining shareholder
records, furnishing shareholder statements and reports, and for other
services. A portion of the brokerage commissions that Equity Portfolio
Growth, Growth Opportunities, Global Resources and Income & Growth paid
were used to reduce Fund expenses. Without this reduction, their operating
expenses would have been 1.85%, 1.65%, 2.63% and 1.52%, respectively. FMR
has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Government Investment and Limited Term
Tax-Exempt to the extent that total operating expenses (exclusive of taxes,
interest, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) are in excess
of an annual rate of 0.60% and 0.90%, respectively, of average net assets.
If reimbursements were not in effect, the management fees, other expenses
(including 12b-1 fees) and total fund operating expenses would have been:
.46%, .86%, and 1.32%, (Government Investment); and .42%, .94%, and 1.36%,
(Limited Term Tax-Exempt). Please refer to the section "Fees," page .
The HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE illustrates the expenses, including the maximum
sales charge, associated with a $1,000 investment in each Fund over periods
of one, three, five and ten years, based on the expenses (after
reimbursements, if any) in the table and an assumed annual return of 5%.
THE RETURN OF 5% AND EXPENSES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED INDICATIONS OF
ACTUAL OR EXPECTED FUND PERFORMANCE OR EXPENSES, BOTH OF WHICH MAY
VARY.

2.ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES
(AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS)

EXPENSE TABLE EXAMPLE:

You would pay the following expenses, including
the maximum sales charge, on a $1,000 investment
in a Fund assuming (1) a 5% annual return
and (2) full redemption at the end of each time period:

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
EQUITY FUNDS:
FIDELITY ADVISOR OVERSEAS FUND seeks growth of capital primarily through
investments in foreign securities.

and securities convertible into the common stock, of companies with above
average growth characteristics.
FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND seeks to provide capital growth
by investing primarily in common stocks and securities convertible into
common stocks.
FIDELITY ADVISOR GLOBAL RESOURCES FUND seeks long-term growth of capital
and protection of the purchasing power of shareholders' capital by
investing primarily in securities of foreign and domestic companies that

companies, or in physical commodities.

investing primarily in securities of companies believed by FMR to involve a
"special situation."
FIDELITY ADVISOR EQUITY PORTFOLIO INCOME seeks a yield from dividend and
interest income which exceeds the composite dividend yield on securities
comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index (S&P 500).

FIDELITY ADVISOR INCOME & GROWTH FUND seeks both income and growth of
capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed-income
securities with income, growth of income and capital appreciation
potential.
FIXED-INCOME FUNDS:
FIDELITY ADVISOR HIGH YIELD FUND seeks a combination of a high level of
income and the potential for capital gains by investing in a diversified
portfolio consisting primarily of high-yielding, fixed-income and zero

minimum tax.

income exempt from federal income taxes that can be obtained consistent
with the preservation of capital, from a diversified portfolio of high
quality or upper-medium quality municipal obligations.
The investment objective of each Fund is fundamental and can only be
changed by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Except
as otherwise noted, the investment limitations and policies of Equity
Portfolio Growth, Strategic Opportunities, Income & Growth, Limited
Term Bond, Government Investment, High Income Municipal, and Limited Term
Tax-Exempt are fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder
approval. Except for the investment limitations and policies identified as
fundamental, the limitations and policies of Overseas, Growth
Opportunities, Global Resources , Equity Portfolio Income, High
Yield, and Short Fixed-Income are not fundamental. Non-fundamental
investment limitations and policies may be changed without shareholder
approval.
The yield , return and potential price changes of each Fund depend on
the quality and maturity of the obligations in its portfolio, as well as on
market conditions. Risks vary based on the type of fund in which you are
investing. As is the case with any investment in securities, investment in
the Funds involve certain risks and therefore a Fund may not
always achieve its investment objective . See "Investment Policies"
beginning on page 15.
HOW T O BUY SHARES
Shares of each Fund are offered continuously to investors who engage an
investment professional for investment advice and may be purchased at the
public offering price (the offering price) next determined after the
transfer agent receives your order to purchase. State Street Bank and
Trust Company (the Transfer Agent), P.O. Box 8302 , Boston,
Massachusetts 02266-8302 , provides transfer and dividend paying
services for each Fund.
The offering price is equal to the net asset value per share (NAV) plus
a sales charge, which is a variable percentage of the offering price
depending upon the amount of the purchase. The table below shows total
sales charges and concessions to securities dealers and banks (investment
professionals) having Agreements with Distributors.
You can open an account with a minimum initial investment of $2,500 or more
by completing and returning an account application. You can make additional
investments of $250 or more. For tax-deferred retirement plans, including
IRA accounts, there is a $500 minimum initial investment and a $100
subsequent investment minimum. For accounts established under the
Fidelity Advisor S ystematic I nvestment Program or
the Fidelity Advisor Systematic Exchange Program, there is a $1,000 initial
and $100 monthly subsequent investment minimum requirement. FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION ON OPENING AN ACCOUNT, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR INVESTMENT
PROFESSIONAL OR REFER TO THE ACCOUNT APPLICATION.
It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit
your order to purchase shares to the Transfer Agent before 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time in order for you to receive that day's share price. The
Transfer Agent must receive payment within five business days after an
order is placed, otherwise, the purchase order may be canceled and you
could be held liable for resulting fees and/or losses.
All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn
on U.S. banks. Each Fund reserves the right to limit the number of your
checks processed at one time. If your check does not clear, the Fund may
cancel your purchase and you could be held liable for any fees and/or
losses incurred. When you purchase directly by check, the Fund can hold the
proceeds of redemptions until the Transfer Agent is reasonably satisfied
that the purchase payment has been collected (which can take up to seven
calendar days). You may avoid a delay in receiving redemption proceeds by
purchasing shares with a certified check. Shares of the fixed - income
funds purchased through investment professionals utilizing an automated
order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on
a specified dat e , begin to earn income dividends on that date.
Direct purchases and all other orders begin to earn dividends on the
business day after the F und receives payment.

If your account falls below $1,000 due to redemption, the Transfer Agent
may close it at the NAV next determined on the day your account is closed
and mail you the proceeds at the address shown on the Transfer Agent's
records. The Transfer Agent will give you 30 days' notice that your account
will be closed unless you make an investment to increase your account
balance to the $1,000 minimum. The minimum account balance does not
apply to IRA accounts.
4.SALES CHARGE WAIVERS. Sales charges do not apply to shares of a Fund
purchased:
(1) by registered representatives, bank trust officers and other employees
(and their immediate families) of investment professionals having
A greements with Distributors;
(2) by a current or former Trustee or officer of a Fidelity fund or a
current or retired officer, director or full-time employee of FMR Corp. or
its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a "Fidelity Trustee or employee"), the
spouse of a Fidelity Trustee or employee, a Fidelity Trustee or employee

Sales charge waivers must be qualified through Distributors in advance, and
employee benefit plan investors must meet additional requirements specified
in the SAIs. Your investment professional should call Fidelity for more
information.
INVESTOR SERVICES
You may initiate many transactions by telephone. Note that the Transfer
Agent will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized
transactions if it follows reasonable procedures designed to verify the
identity of the caller. The Transfer Agent will request personalized
security codes or other information, and may also record calls. You should
verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you
receive them. If you do not want the ability to redeem and exchange by
telephone, call the Transfer Agent for instructions.
5.QUANTITY DISCOUNTS. Reduced sales charges are applicable to purchases of
$50,000 or more ($1,000,000 or more for Short Fixed-Income) alone or in
combination with purchases of shares of other Fidelity Advisor Funds made
at any one time (including Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund
shares acquired by exchange from certain other Fidelity Advisor
Fund s ). To obtain the reduction of the sales charge, you or your
investment professional must notify the Transfer Agent at the time of
purchase whenever a quantity discount is applicable to your purchase. Upon
such notification, you will receive the lowest applicable sales charge.
For purposes of qualifying for a reduction in sales charges under the
C ombined P urchase, R ights of A ccumulation or
L etter of I ntent provisions, the following may qualify as an
individual, or a "company" as defined in Section 2(a)(8) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act): an individual, spouse, and their children
under age 21 purchasing for his, her, or their own account; a trustee,
administrator or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust estate or
single fiduciary account or for a single or a parent-subsidiary group of
"employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974); and tax-exempt organizations as
defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
6.COMBINED PURCHASES. When you invest in a Fund for several accounts at the
same time, you may combine these investments into a single transaction to
qualify for the quantity discount if purchased through one investment
professional, and if the total is at least $50,000 (at least $1,000,000 for
Short Fixed-Income).
7.RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. Your "Rights of Accumulation" permit reduced
sales charges on any future purchases after you have reached a new
breakpoint in a Fund's sales charge schedule. You can add the value of
existing Fidelity Advisor Fund shares (including Daily Money Fund and Daily
Tax-Exempt Money Fund shares ACQUIRED BY EXCHANGE FROM ANY FIDELITY ADVISOR
FUND), determined at the current day's NAV at the close of business,
to the amount of your new purchase valued at the current offering price to
determine your reduced sales charge.
8.LETTER OF INTENT. If you anticipate purchasing $50,000 or more
($1,000,000 for Short Fixed-Income) of a Fund's shares alone or in
combination with shares of other Fidelity Advisor Funds (excluding Daily
Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund) within a 13-month period, you
may obtain shares at the same reduced sales charge as though the total
quantity were invested in one lump sum, by filing a non-binding Letter of
Intent (the Letter) within 90 days of the start of the purchases. Each
investment you make after signing the Letter will be entitled to the sales
charge applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. For
example, a $2,500 purchase toward a $50,000 Letter would receive the same
reduced sales charge as if the $50,000 ($1,000,000 for Short Fixed-Income)
had been invested at one time. To ensure that the reduced price will be
received on future purchases, you or your investment professional must
inform the Transfer Agent that the Letter is in effect each time shares are
purchased. Neither income dividends nor capital gain distributions taken in
additional shares will apply toward the completion of the Letter.
Your initial investment must be at least 5% of the total amount you plan to
invest. Out of the initial purchase, 5% of the dollar amount specified in
the Letter will be registered in your name and held in escrow. The shares
held in escrow cannot be redeemed or exchanged until the Letter is
satisfied or the additional sales charges have been paid. You will earn
income dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed shares. The
escrow will be released when your purchase of the total amount has been
completed. You are not obligated to complete the Letter.
If you purchase more than the amount specified in the Letter and qualify
for a further sales charge reduction, the sales charge will be adjusted to
reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months. Surplus funds will be
applied to the purchase of additional shares at the then current offering
price applicable to the total purchase.
If you do not complete your purchase under the Letter within the 13-month
period, 30 days' written notice will be provided for you to pay the
increased sales charges due. Otherwise, sufficient escrowed shares will be
redeemed to pay such charges.
9. FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT P ROGRAM . You can
make regular investments in a Fidelity Advisor Fund with the Systematic
Investment Program by completing the appropriate section of the
account application and attaching a voided personal check. Investments may
be made monthly by automatically deducting $100 or more from your bank
checking account. You may change the amount of your monthly purchase at any
time. There is a $1,000 minimum initial investment requirement for the
Systematic Investment Program . Shares will be purchased at the
offering price next determined following receipt of the investment by the
Transfer Agent. You may cancel the Systematic Investment Program at
any time without payment of a cancellation fee. You will receive a
confirmation from the Transfer Agent for every transaction, and a debit
entry will appear on your bank statement.
SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
The Transfer Agent will send you a confirmation after every transaction
that affects the share balance or the account registration. In addition,
a consolidated statement will be provided quarterly. At least twice a
year each shareholder will receive the Fund's financial statements, with a
summary of its portfolio composition and performance. To reduce expenses,
only one copy of most shareholder reports (such as a Fund's Annual Report)
will be mailed to each shareholder address. Please write to the
Transfer Agent or contact your investment professional if you need to have
additional reports sent each time.
A Fund pays for these shareholder communications, but not for special
services that are required by a few shareholders, such as a request for a
historical transcript of an account. You may be required to pay a fee for
such special services. If you are purchasing shares of a Fund through a
program of administrative services offered by an investment professional,
you should read the additional materials pertaining to that program in
conjunction with this Prospectus. Certain features of a Fund, such as the
minimum initial or subsequent investment, may be modified in these
programs, and administrative charges may be imposed for the services
rendered.
HOW TO EXCHANGE
An exchange is the redemption of shares of one Fund and the purchase of
shares of another Fund, each at the next determined NAV. The exchange
privilege is a convenient way to sell and buy shares of other Fidelity
Advisor Funds and certain Fidelity money market funds registered in your
state.
To protect each Fund's performance and shareholders, FMR discourages
frequent trading in response to short-term market fluctuations. The Funds
reserve the right to refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if,
in FMR's opinion, a Fund would be unable to invest effectively in
accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise
be affected adversely. Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a
Fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant
portions of a Fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that
coincides with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a Fund.
Exchange restrictions may be imposed at any time. The Funds may modify or
terminate the exchange privilege. The exchange limit may be modified for
certain institutional retirement plans.
Exchange instructions may be given by you in writing or by telephone
directly to the Transfer Agent or through your investment professional. FOR
MORE INFORMATION ON ENTERING AN EXCHANGE TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR
INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL .
Before you make an exchange:
1. Read the prospectus of the Fund into which you want to exchange.
2. Shares may be exchanged into other Fidelity Advisor Funds seven calendar
days after purchase at NAV . If you have held shares of Short
Fixed-Income Fund for less than six months, you will pay a sales charge
equal to the difference between the sales charge on the Fund you are
exchanging into and the sales charge applicable to shares of Short
Fixed - Income being exchanged. For example, if you paid
the full 1.5% sales charge when you purchased your Short
Fixed-Income shares, you will have to pay a sales charge of up to 3.25%
when you exchange these shares into another Fidelity Advisor Fund having a
maximum sales charge of 4.75%. After six months, shares may be exchanged at
NAV. Exchanges into a Fidelity Advisor Fund from eligible Fidelity money
market funds will be processed at the next determined offering price
(unless the shares were acquired by exchange from another Fidelity Advisor
Fund).
3. You may only exchange between accounts that are registered in the same
name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
4. You may make four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year .
I f you exceed this limit, your future purchases of (including
exchanges into) Fidelity Advisor Funds may be permanently refused. For
purposes of the four exchange limit, accounts under common ownership or
control, including accounts having the same taxpayer identification number,
will be aggregated. Systematic exchanges are not subject to this four
exchange limit (see following section).
5. TAXES: The shares exchanged represent a sale and are taxable. The
Transfer Agent will send you a confirmation of each exchange transaction.
10.FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEMATIC EXCHANGE P ROGRAM . You can exchange a
specific dollar amount of shares from a Fund into another Fidelity Advisor
Fund on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis under the following
conditions:
1. The account from which the exchanges are to be processed must have a
minimum balance of $10,000.
2. The account into which the exchanges are to be processed must be an
existing account with a minimum balance of $1,000.
3. Both accounts must have identical registrations and taxpayer
identification numbers. The minimum amount that can be exchanged
systematically into a Fund is $100.
4. Systematic Exchanges will be processed at the NAV determined on the
transaction date, except that Systematic Exchanges into a Fidelity Advisor
Fund from eligible money market funds will be processed at the offering
price next determined on the transaction date (unless the shares were
acquired by exchange from another Fidelity Advisor Fund).
HOW T O SELL SHARES
You may sell (redeem) all or a portion of your shares on any day the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open, at the NAV next determined after the
Transfer Agent receives your request to sell. Orders to sell may be placed
by you in writing or by telephone or through your investment professional.
Orders to sell received by the Transfer Agent before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
will receive that day's share price. For orders to sell placed through your
investment professional, it is the investment professional's responsibility
to transmit such orders to the Transfer Agent by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time for
you to receive that day's share price.
Once your shares are redeemed, a Fund normally will send the proceeds on
the next business day to the address of record. If making immediate payment
could adversely affect the Fund, the Fund may take up to seven days to pay
you. A Fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is reasonably
satisfied that it has collected investments that were made by check (which
can take up to seven calendar days).
When the NYSE is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any reason
other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such action, a
Fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates for more than
seven days . The Transfer Agent requires additional documentation to
sell shares registered in the name of a corporation, agent or fiduciary
or a surviving joint owner. Call 1-800-221-5207 for specific requirements.
11.REDEMPTION REQUESTS BY TELEPHONE:
TO RECEIVE A CHECK. You may sell shares of a Fund having a value of
$100,000 or less from your account by calling the Transfer Agent.
Redemption proceeds must be sent to the address of record listed on the
account, and a change of address must not have occurred within the
preceding 60 days.
T O RECEIVE A WIRE. You may sell shares of a Fund and have the
proceeds wired to a pre-designated bank account. Wires will generally be
sent the next business day following the redemption of shares from your
account.
Telephone redemptions cannot be processed for Fidelity Advisor Fund
prototype retirement accounts where State Street Bank and Trust Company is
the custodian.
12.REDEMPTION REQUESTS IN WRITING. For your protection, if you sell
shares of a Fund having a value of more than $100,000, or if you are
sending the proceeds of a redemption of any amount to an address other than
the address of record listed on the account, or if you have requested a
change of address within the preceding 60 days, or if you wish to have the
proceeds wired to a non predesignated bank account, you must send a letter
of instruction signed by all registered owners with signature(s) guaranteed
to the Transfer Agent. A signature guarantee is a widely recognized way to
protect you by guaranteeing the signature on your request; it may not be
provided by a notary public. Signature guarantee(s) will be accepted from
banks, brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, municipal securities
brokers, government securities dealers, government securities brokers,
credit unions (if authorized under state law), national securities
exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and
savings associations.
13.REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you have sold all or part of your Fund
shares you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the
redemption proceeds in the Fund , or in any of the other Fidelity
Advisor Funds, at the NAV next determined after receipt of your investment
order , provided that such reinvestment is made within 30 days of
redemption. You must reinstate your shares into an account with the same
registration. Th is privilege may be exercised only once by a
shareholder with respect to a Fund and certain restrictions may
apply .
14. FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM. If you own shares
of a Fund worth $10,000 or more, you may periodically have proceeds sent
automatically from your account to you, to a person named by you, or to
your bank checking account. Your Systematic Withdrawal Program payments are
drawn from share redemptions. If Systematic Withdrawal Program redemptions
exceed distributions earned on your shares, your account eventually
may be exhausted. Since a sales charge is applied on new shares you buy, it
is to your disadvantage to buy shares while also making systematic
redemptions. You may obtain information about the Systematic Withdrawal
Program by contacting your investment professional.
15.CHECKWRITING SERVICE. Short Fixed-Income Fund offers a check-writing
service ($500 minimum) to allow the redemption of shares from your
account . Refer to the account a pplication or the SAI and
complete the attached signature card. Upon receipt of the properly
completed account application and signature card, the Fund will provide
checks. If you redeem by check from the Fund and the amount of the check is
greater than the value of your account, your check will be returned to you
and you may be subject to additional charges.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you fill out your account application, you can choose from four
Distribution Options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Dividends and capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of a Fund. If you do not
indicate a choice on your account application, you will be assigned
this option.
2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Capital gain distributions will be automatically
reinvested, but a check will be sent for each dividend distribution.
3. CASH OPTION. A check will be sent for each dividend and capital gain
distribution.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS PROGRAM . Dividends and capital gain
distributions will be automatically invested in another identically
registered Fidelity Advisor Fund.
You may change your Distribution Option at any time by notifying the
Transfer Agent in writing. Distribution checks for fixed-income funds will
be mailed no later than seven days after the last day of the month. On the
day a Fund goes ex-dividend, the amount of the distribution is deducted
from its share price. Reinvestment of distributions will be made at that
day's NAV. If you select option 2 or 3 and the U.S. Postal Service
cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain uncashed for six
months, distribution checks will be reinvested in your account at the
current NAV and your election may be converted to the Reinvestment
Option.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. The Funds distribute substantially all of their net
investment income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year
pursuant to the following schedule. Each Fund may pay capital gains
in December. In addition, Equity Portfolio Growth , Equity Portfolio
Income , Limited Term Bond and Limited Term Tax-Exempt may pay
capital gains in January as well.
Equity Portfolio Growth pays net investment income in January and December;
Overseas, Growth Opportunities, Global Resources, and Strategic
Opportunities pay in December; High Yield, Limited Term Bond,
Government Investment, Short Fixed-Income, High Income Municipal, and
Limited Term Tax-Exempt declare dividends daily and pay monthly; and
Equity Portfolio Income and Income & Growth declare dividends in
March, June, September, and December and pay the following month.
16.CAPITAL GAINS. You may realize a gain or loss when you sell (redeem)
or exchange shares. For most types of accounts, a Fund will report the
proceeds of your redemptions to you and the IRS annually. However, because
the tax treatment also depends on your purchase price and your personal tax
position, YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR REGULAR ACCOUNT STATEMENTS to use in
determining your tax.
17."BUYING A DIVIDEND." On the record date for a distribution from a
Fund, the Fund's share price is reduced by the amount of the distribution.
If you buy shares just before the record date (buying a dividend), you will
pay the full offering price for the shares, and then receive a portion of
the price back as a taxable distribution.
18.FEDERAL TAXES. Distributions from each Fund's income and short-term
capital gains are taxed as dividends, and long-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. Gains on the sale of
tax-free bonds results in a taxable distribution. Short-term capital gains
and a portion of the gain on bonds purchased at a discount are taxed as
dividends. Distributions are taxable when they are paid , whether
you take them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares, except that
distributions declared in December and paid in January are taxable as if
paid on December 31. Each Fund will send you a tax statement by January 31
showing the tax status of the distributions you received in the past year.
A copy will be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) .
High Income Municipal and Limited Term Tax-Exempt may invest in municipal
obligations whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum
tax for individuals (AMT bonds). To the extent that the Funds invest
in AMT bonds, individuals who are subject to the AMT will be required to
report a portion of the Fund's dividends as a "tax-preference item" in
determining their federal tax. Federally tax-free interest earned by the
Funds is federally tax-free when distributed as income dividends. During
the most recent fiscal year ended, 100% of the income dividends for High
Income Municipal and Limited Term Tax-Exempt were free from federal tax. If
the Funds earn taxable income from any of their investments, it w ill
be distributed as a taxable dividend. Some of the Funds may be eligible
for the dividends-received deduction for corporations.
If a Fund has paid withholding or other taxes to foreign governments during
the year, the taxes will reduce the Fund's dividends but will be 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 a Fund. Your tax statement will show the amount of foreign tax for which
a credit or deduction may be available.
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES . Mutual fund dividends from most U.S.
government securities generally are free from state and local income taxes.
However , certain types of securities, such as repurchase agreements
and certain agency backed securities, may not qualify for the government
interest exemption on a state-by-state basis. GNMA and other mortgage
backed securities are other notable exceptions in many states. Some states
may impose intangible property taxes. You should consult your own tax
advisor for details and up-to-date information on the tax laws in your
state.
19.OTHER TAX INFORMATION. In addition to federal taxes, you may be subject
to state or local taxes on your investment, depending on the laws in your
area. Because some states exempt their own municipal obligations from tax,
you will receive tax information each year showing how High Income
Municipal and Limited Term Tax-Exempt allocated its investments by state.
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.
INVESTMENT POLICIES
Further information relating to the types of securities in which each Fund
may invest and the investment policies of each Fund in general are set
forth in the Appendix to this Prospectus and in each Fund's SAI.
FMR will use its extensive research facilities in addition to considering
the ratings of Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations
(NRSROs) in selecting investments for the Funds. Unrated securities are not
necessarily of lower quality than rated securities, but they may not be
attractive to as many buyers. This credit analysis includes
consideration of the economic feasibility, the financial condition of the
issuer with respect to liquidity, cash flow and political developments that
may affect credit quality. Since the risk of default is higher for
lower-quality obligations, FMR's research and analysis are an integral part
of choosing a Fund's securities. Through portfolio diversification and
careful credit analysis, FMR can reduce risk, although there can be no
assurance that losses will not occur. FMR also considers trends in the
economy, in geographic areas, in various industries, and in the financial
markets.
EQUITY FUNDS . Equity Funds invest mainly in common stock and
other equity securities in search of growth or a combination of growth and
income. Their performance depends heavily on stock market conditions in the
U.S. and abroad, and can also be affected by changes in interest rates or
other economic conditions. Investments in Equity Funds are more suitable
for investors who take a long-term approach to investing.
FIDELITY ADVISOR OVERSEAS FUND seeks growth of capital primarily through
investments in foreign securities. The Fund defines foreign securities as
securities of issuers whose principal activities are outside of the United
States. Normally, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets will be invested
in securities of issuers from at least three different countries outside of
North America (the U.S. , Canada, Mexico, and Central America). The
Fund expects to invest most of its assets in securities of issuers located
in developed countries in these general geographic areas: The Americas
(other than the U.S. ), the Far East and the Pacific Basin, and
Western Europe. In determining whether a company's or organization's
principal activities are in a particular region, FMR will look at such
factors as the location of assets, personnel, sales, and earnings.
FMR expects that opportunities for capital growth will come most often from
common stock and other equity securities, and therefore, expects that
equity securities will account for the majority of the Fund's investments.
However, the Fund also may find opportunities for capital growth from debt
securities of any quality or maturity by reason of anticipated changes in
such factors as interest rates, currency relationships, or the credit
standing of individual issuers. The Fund will not consider dividend income
as a primary factor in choosing securities, unless FMR believes the income
will contribute to the securities' growth potential.
When allocating the investments of the Fund among geographic regions and
individual countries, and among assets denominated in U.S. and foreign
currencies, FMR considers various factors, such as prospects for relative
economic growth among countries, regions or geographic areas; expected
levels of inflation; government policies influencing business conditions;
and the outlook for currency relationships. Although the Fund has the
a bil ity under normal conditions to invest up to 35% of its total
assets in the U.S., FMR currently intends to manage the Fund to be as fully
invested outside the U.S. as is practicable in light of the Fund's cash
flow and cash needs.
The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks of
companies or closed-end investment companies, securities such as warrants
or rights that are convertible into common stock, preferred stocks, and
depositary receipts for those securities.
The Fund may invest in debt securities of any type of issuer, including
governments and governmental entities (including supra national
organizations such as the World Bank) as well as corporations and other
business organizations. The Fund has no limitation on the quality of debt
securities in which it may invest. The Fund may invest in lower-quality,
high-yielding debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"),
although it intends to limit its investments in these securities to 5% of
its assets. FMR may invest a portion of the Fund's assets in high-quality,
short-term debt securities, bank deposits and money market instruments
(including repurchase agreements) denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign
currencies. When market conditions warrant, FMR can make substantial
temporary defensive investments in U.S. government securities or
investment-grade obligations of companies incorporated in, and having
principal business activities in, the U.S .
The Fund may purchase or engage in indexed securities, illiquid
investments, loans and other direct debt instruments, options and futures
contracts, repurchase agreements and securities loans, restricted
securities, and swap agreements.
CONSIDERATIONS IN INVESTING IN SHARES OF OVERSEAS FUND:
Investing outside the U.S. involves different opportunities and different
risks from U.S. investments. FMR believes that it may be possible to obtain
significant returns from a portfolio of foreign investments, or a
combination of foreign investments and U.S. investments, and to achieve
increased diversification in comparison to a portfolio invested solely in
U.S. securities. By including international investments in your investment
portfolio, you may gain increased diversification by combining securities
from various countries and geographic areas that offer different investment
opportunities and are affected by different economic trends. At the same
time, these opportunities and trends involve risks that may not be
encountered with U.S. investments.
International investing in general may involve greater risks than U.S.
investments. There is generally less publicly available information about
foreign issuers, and there may be less government regulation and
supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies.
There may be difficulty in enforcing legal rights outside the U.S .
Foreign companies generally are not subject to uniform accounting,
auditing, and financial reporting standards, practices, and requirements
comparable to those that apply to U.S. companies. Security trading
practices abroad may offer less protection to investors such as the Fund.
Settlement of transactions in some foreign markets may be delayed or may be
less frequent than in the U.S., which could affect the liquidity of the
Fund. Additionally, in some foreign countries, there is the possibility of
expropriation or confiscatory taxation; limitations on the removal of
securities, property, or other assets of the Fund; political or social
instability; or diplomatic developments which could affect U.S. investments
in foreign countries. FMR will take these factors into consideration in
managing the Fund's investments.
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in developing countries, or in
countries with a new or developing capital market. The
considerations noted above are generally intensified for these investments.
These countries may have relatively unstable governments, economies based
on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number
of securities. Securities of issuers located in these countries tend to
have volatile prices and may offer significant potential for loss as well
as gain.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES. The value of the Fund's investments, and the value of
dividends and interest earned by the Fund, may be significantly affected by
changes in currency exchange rates. Some foreign currency values may be
volatile, and there is the possibility of governmental controls on currency
exchange or governmental intervention in currency markets, which could
adversely affect the Fund. Although FMR may attempt to manage currency
exchange rate risks, there is no assurance that FMR will do so at an
appropriate time or that FMR will be able to predict exchange rates
accurately. For example, if FMR increases the Fund's exposure to a foreign
currency, and that currency's value subsequently falls, FMR's currency
management may result in increased losses to the Fund. Similarly, if FMR
hedges the Fund's exposure to a foreign currency, and that currency's value
rises, the Fund will lose the opportunity to participate in the currency's
appreciation.
CURRENCY MANAGEMENT. The relative performance of foreign currencies is an
important factor in the Fund's performance. FMR may manage the Fund's
exposure to various currencies to take advantage of different yield, risk,
and return characteristics that different currencies can provide for U.S.
investors.
To manage exposure to currency fluctuations, the Fund may enter into
currency exchange contracts (agreements to exchange one currency for
another at a future date) or currency swap agreements, buy and sell options
and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies, and purchase
securities indexed to foreign currencies. The Fund will use currency
exchange contracts in the normal course of business to lock in an
exchange rate in connection with purchases and sales of securities
denominated in foreign currencies. Other currency management strategies
allow FMR to hedge portfolio securities, to shift investment exposure from
one currency to another, or to attempt to profit from anticipated declines
in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. There is no
limitation on the amount of the Fund's assets that may be committed to
currency management strategies.
FIDELITY ADVISOR EQUITY PORTFOLIO GROWTH seeks to achieve capital
appreciation by investing primarily in the common and preferred stock, and
securities convertible into the common stock, of companies with above
average growth characteristics.
As a general rule, the Fund will invest in the securities of companies
whose growth in the areas of earnings or gross sales measured either in
dollars or in unit volume (either on an absolute or percentage basis) may
exceed that of the average of the companies whose securities are included
in the S&P 500. These securities generally command high multiples
(price/earnings ratios) in the stock markets over time. Above average
growth characteristics are most often associated with companies in new and
emerging areas of the economy but occasionally can be found in the stronger
companies of more mature and even declining industries. The Fund will,
therefore, be invested in the securities of smaller, less well-known
companies except when FMR believes that opportunities for above-average
growth are presented by larger, more mature companies which have undergone
reformation and revitalization or possess a strong position in relation to
the market as a whole.
The market price of securities with above average growth characteristics
often can experience a more sudden and more dramatic downward reaction to
negative news than is the case with securities carrying a lower market
multiple. This can be particularly true for companies with a narrow product
line or whose securities are relatively thinly-traded, characteristics
which are common to smaller, less well-known companies.
As a non-fundamental policy, at least 65% of the total assets of the Fund
normally will be invested in common and preferred stock. As a
non-fundamental policy, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets
in debt obligations of all types and quality, a high percentage of which
are expected to be convertible into common stocks. The Fund may invest in
lower-quality, high yielding debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk
bonds" although as a non-fundamental policy it intends to limit its
investments in these securities to 35% of its assets. ). The Fund also
may purchase or engage in foreign investments, indexed securities,
illiquid investments, loans and other direct debt instruments, options and
futures contracts, repurchase agreements and securities loans
restricted securities, swap agreements, and warrants.
FIDELITY ADVISOR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND seeks to provide capital growth
by investing primarily in common stocks and securities convertible into
common stocks. Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Fund's total
assets will be invested in securities of companies that FMR believes have
long-term growth potential. Growth can be considered either appreciation of
the security itself or growth of the company's earnings or gross sales.
Accordingly, these securities will often pay little, if any, income,
which will be entirely incidental to the objective of capital growth.
The Fund also has the ability to purchase other securities, such as
preferred stock and bonds that may produce capital growth. Securities may
be of all types or quality. The Fund may invest in lower-quality,
high-yielding debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk
bonds") , a lthough the Fund currently intends to limit its
investments in these securities to 10% of its assets.
The Fund may purchase foreign investments of all types without limitation
and may enter into foreign forward currency exchange contracts for
the purpose of managing exchange rate risks. The Fund may purchase or
engage in indexed securities, illiquid investments, loans and other direct
debt instruments, options and futures contracts, repurchase agreements and
securities loans, restricted securities, reverse repurchase agreements,
swap agreements, and warrants.
The Fund may make substantial temporary investments in high-quality debt
securities and money market instruments, including commercial paper,
obligations of banks or the U.S. government and repurchase agreements for
defensive purposes when, in FMR's judgment, economic or market conditions
warrant.
FIDELITY ADVISOR GLOBAL RESOURCES FUND seeks long-term growth of capital
and protection of the purchasing power of shareholders' capital by
investing primarily in securities of foreign and domestic companies that
own or develop natural resources, or supply goods and services to such
companies, or in physical commodities. Natural resources include precious
metals, ferrous and nonferrous metals, strategic metals, hydrocarbons,
chemicals, forest products, real estate, food products, and other basic
commodities which, historically, have been produced and marketed profitably
during periods of significant inflation.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total
assets in securities of foreign and domestic companies that own or develop
natural resources, or supply goods and services to such companies, or in
physical commodities. The remain der of the Fund may be invested in
other investments including debt securities of any kind including
asset-backed securities, obligations of foreign governments or their
political subdivisions, foreign companies and supranational organizations,
and common and preferred stocks of corporations not necessarily engaged in
natural resources. FMR will seek securities that are priced relative to the
intrinsic value of the relevant natural resource or that are issued
by companies which are positioned to benefit during particular portions
of the economic cycle. Accordingly, the Fund may shift its emphasis from
one natural resource industry to another depending upon prevailing trends
or developments. For example, when FMR anticipates significant economic,
political or financial pressures or major dislocations in the foreign
currency exchange markets, the Fund may, in seeking to protect the
purchasing power of shareholders' capital, invest a substantial portion of
its assets in companies that explore for, extract, process , or deal
in precious metals, and/or invest in precious metals themselves. The
Fund expects to invest a majority of its assets to be invested in
securities of companies that have their principal business activities in at
least three different countries (including the U.S. ).
A company will be deemed to have substantial ownership of, or activities
in, natural resources if, at the time of the Fund's acquisition of its
securities, at least 50% of the company's assets are involved in, either
directly or through subsidiaries, exploring, mining, refining, processing,
transporting, fabricating, dealing in , or owning natural resources.
Natural resources include precious metals (such as gold, palladium,
platinum and silver), ferrous and nonferrous metals (such as iron, aluminum
and copper), strategic metals (such as uranium and titanium), hydrocarbons
(such as coal, oil and natural gases), chemicals, forest products, real
estate, food products and other basic commodities which, historically, have
been produced and marketed profitably during periods of rising inflation.
The Fund may purchase foreign securities of all types without limitation
and may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the
purpose of managing exchange rate risks. The Fund may invest in
lower-quality, high-yielding debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk
bonds''), rated as low as CCC by Standard & Poor's Corporation
(S&P) or Caa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's). The Fund
does not currently intend to invest more than 5% of its net assets in
debt securities rated below BBB or Bbb . Debt securities
ordinarily will make up a relatively small portion of the Fund's
assets.
The Fund may purchase ADRs and EDRs. The Fund may purchase indexed
securities, illiquid investments, loans and other direct debt instruments,
repurchase agreements and securities loans, restricted securities, and
warrants. The Fund may also purchase securities on a delayed-delivery
basis.
As a fundamental policy, the Fund is authorized to invest up to 50% of its
assets in physical commodities. In order to permit the sale of the Fund's
shares in certain states, the Fund has adopted a non-fundamental
policy of limiting investments in physical commodities to precious metals
(i.e., gold, palladium, platinum and silver) and to not more than 25% of
the Fund's total assets. Investments in other types of physical commodities
could present concerns, including practical problems of delivery, storage
and maintenance, possible illiquidity, the unavailability of accurate
market valuations and increased expenses. When a precious metal is
purchased, FMR currently intends that it will be only in a form that is
readily marketable and that it will be delivered to and stored with a
qualified U.S. bank. Investments in bullion earn no investment income and
may involve higher custody and transaction costs than investments in
securities. The Fund may receive no more than 10% of its yearly income from
gains resulting from selling metals or any other physical commodity. The
Fund may be required, therefore, either to hold its metals or sell them at
a loss, or to sell its portfolio securities at a gain, when it would not
otherwise do so for investment reasons. Precious metals, at times, have
been subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time
and may be affected by unpredictable international monetary and political
policies such as currency devaluations or revaluations, economic and social
conditions within a country, trade imbalances, or trade or currency
restrictions between countries.
Since the Fund may invest in physical commodities and utilize investment
techniques which are subject to market fluctuations and/or foreign
market risk, an investment in the Fund may be considered more speculative
than an investment in other funds that seek capital growth. The value of
equity securities of natural resource companies will fluctuate pursuant to
market conditions generally, as well as the market for the particular
natural resource in which the issuer is involved. In addition, the values
of natural resources are subject to numerous factors, including nature and
international politics.
During periods when, in FMR's opinion, a temporary defensive posture in the
market is appropriate, the Fund may invest without limitation in cash or
high-quality money market instruments including, but not limited to,
certificates of deposit, commercial paper and obligations issued by the
U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.
FIDELITY ADVISOR STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES FUND seeks capital appreciation by
investing primarily in securities of companies believed by FMR to involve a
"special situation." The term "special situation" refers to FMR's
identification of an unusual, and possibly non-repetitive, development
taking place in a company or a group of companies in an industry.
As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund normally will invest at least 65% of
its assets in companies involving a special situation. A special situation
may involve one or more of the following characteristics:
(bullet) A technological advance or discovery, the offering of a new or
unique product or service, or changes in consumer demand or consumption
forecasts.
(bullet) Changes in the competitive outlook or growth potential of an
industry or a company within an industry, including changes in the scope or
nature of foreign competition or the development of an emerging industry.
(bullet) New or changed management, or material changes in management
policies or corporate structure.
(bullet) Significant economic or political occurrences abroad, including
changes in foreign or domestic import and tax laws or other regulations.
(bullet) Other events, including natural disasters, favorable litigation
settlements, or a major change in demographic patterns.
In seeking capital appreciation, the Fund also may invest in securities of
companies not involving a special situation, but which are companies with
valuable fixed assets and whose securities are believed by FMR to be
undervalued in relation to the companies' assets, earnings, or growth
potential.
FMR intends to invest primarily in common stocks and securities that are
convertible into common stocks; however, it also may invest in debt
securities of all types and quality if FMR believes that investing in these
securities will result in capital appreciation. As a non-fundamental
investment policy, the Fund may invest in lower-quality, high-yielding debt
securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). The Fund currently
intends to limit its investments in these securities to 35% of its assets.
The Fund also may invest in unrated securities. The Fund may invest
up to 30% of its assets in foreign investments of all types and may enter
into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purpose of
managing exchange rate risks. The Fund may purchase or engage in
indexed securities, illiquid instruments, loans and other direct debt
instruments, options and futures contracts, repurchase agreements and
securities loans, restricted securities, swap agreements, warrants, and
zero coupon bonds.
The Fund expects to be fully invested under most market conditions. The
Fund may make substantial temporary investments in high - quality debt
securities for defensive purposes when, in FMR's judgment, a more
conservative approach to investment is desirable.
An investment in the Fund may be considered more speculative than an
investment in other funds that seek capital appreciation. There are greater
risks involved in investing in securities of smaller companies rather than
companies operating according to established patterns and having longer
operating histories. The Fund may invest in securities in which other
investors have not shown significant interest or confidence, and
which are subject to stock market fluctuations. Larger well-established
companies experiencing a special situation may involve, to a certain
extent, breaks with past experience, which may pose greater risks. There
are also greater risks involved in investing in securities of companies
that are not currently favored by the public but show potential for capital
appreciation.
FIDELITY ADVISOR EQUITY PORTFOLIO INCOME seeks to obtain reasonable income
from a portfolio consisting primarily of income-producing equity
securities. The Fund seeks a yield from dividend and interest income which
exceeds the composite dividend yield on securities comprising the S&P
500. In addition, consistent with the primary objective of obtaining
reasonable income, in managing its portfolio, the Fund will consider the
potential for achieving capital appreciation.
It is the policy of the Fund that at least 65% of its total assets normally
will be invested in income-producing equity securities. For purposes of
this policy, equity securities are defined as common stocks and preferred
stocks.
The balance of the Fund will tend to be invested in debt obligations, a
high percentage of which are expected to be convertible into common stocks.
As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund may invest in lower-quality
high-yielding debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"),
although it currently intends to limit its investments in these securities
to 35% of its assets. However, the Fund does not intend to invest in
securities of companies without proven earnings and/or credit histories.
The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures and options to manage
cash flow and to attempt to remain fully invested instead of, or in
addition to, buying and selling stocks. Additionally, the Fund may
purchase or engage in foreign investments, indexed securities,
illiquid investments, loans and other direct debt instruments, repurchase
agreements and securities loans, restricted securities, short sales, swap
agreements, and warrants.
Because of the income considerations, investors should not expect capital
appreciation comparable to the appreciation which could be achieved by
funds whose primary objective is capital appreciation. While the investment
portfolio will not mirror the stocks in the S&P 500 (such a fund is
commonly referred to as an index fund), the yield on the overall investment
portfolio generally will increase or decrease from year to year in
accordance with market conditions and in relation to the changes in yields
of the stocks included in the S&P 500.
The Fund may make temporary investments in securities such as
investment-grade bonds or short-term notes for defensive purposes .
FIDELITY ADVISOR INCOME & GROWTH FUND seeks both income and growth
of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity and
fixed-income securities with income, growth of income and capital
appreciation potential.
The Fund will invest in equity securities, convertible securities,
preferred and common stocks paying any combination of dividends and capital
gains and in fixed-income securities. The Fund also may buy securities that
are not providing dividends but offer prospects for growth of
capital or future income. The proportion of the Fund's assets invested in
each type of security will vary from time to time in accordance with FMR's
assessment of economic conditions.
In selecting securities for the Fund, FMR will consider such factors as the
company's financial strength, its outlook for increased dividend or
interest payments (defined herein as "growth of income") and capital gains.
In addition, industry factors and overall economic conditions may be
considered. The Fund may invest in equity securities of some smaller, more
rapidly growing companies. Investing in smaller, less well-known companies,
especially those that have a narrow product line or are thinly traded,
often involves greater risk than investing in established companies with
proven track records. In selecting fixed-income securities for the Fund
( such as bonds, notes, mortgage securities, convertible securities,
and short-term obligations such as bankers' acceptances, certificates of
deposit, and commercial paper), FMR will consider several factors,
including maturity, quality and expected yield.
The Fund may invest in lower-quality high-yielding debt securities
(commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). The Fund currently intends to limit
its investments in these securities to 35% of its assets. The Fund also may
invest in foreign investments, currency exchange
contracts , indexed securities, illiquid instruments, loans and other
direct debt instruments, options and futures contracts, repurchase
agreements and securities loans, restricted securities, swap agreements,
warrants, and zero coupon bonds. The Fund may, for temporary defensive
purposes, invest without limit in short-term securities.
FIXED-INCOME FUNDS . Fixed -I ncome Funds invest primarily in
debt securities (e.g., bonds, debentures, notes and similar obligations).
The share value of fixed-income funds ten d to move inversely
with changes in prevailing interest rates. Shorter-term bonds are less
sensitive to interest rate changes, but longer-term bonds generally offer
higher yields. It also is important to note that high-yielding,
lower - quality bonds involve greater risks, because there is a
greater possibility of a financial reversal affecting the issuer's ability
to pay interest and principal on time. Share value and yield are not
guaranteed and will fluctuate based on credit quality and changes in
interest rates.
FIDELITY ADVISOR HIGH YIELD FUND seeks a combination of a high level of
income and the potential for capital gains by investing in a diversified
portfolio consisting primarily of high-yielding, fixed-income and zero
coupon securities, such as bonds, debentures and notes, convertible
securities and preferred stocks.
As a non-fundamental policy, t he Fund normally will invest at least
65% of its assets in high-yielding, income producing debt securities and
preferred stocks, including convertible and zero coupon securities. The
Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its assets in lower-quality
debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). Please refer to
"The Risks of Lower-Quality Debt Securities". In addition, the Fund also
may invest in government securities, securities of any state or any
of their subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities , and
securities of foreign issuers, including securities of foreign governments.
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in equity securities, including
common stocks, warrants and rights.
Debt instruments include securities such as bonds, notes, convertible
bonds, and mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities; commercial paper and
other money market instruments, including repurchase agreements; and loans,
trade claims, and similar instruments representing indebtedness of a
corporate borrower. These instruments may provide for interest payments in
cash or in kind, may pay no interest, or may be in default, and may have
warrants attached or otherwise include rights to purchase common stocks.
The Fund may purchase debt instruments in public offerings or through
private placements. The Fund has no specific limitations on the maturity or
credit ratings of the debt instruments in which it invests.
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts and may purchase
or engage in foreign investments, indexed securities, illiquid
investments, loans and other direct debt instruments, options and futures
contracts, repurchase agreements and securities loans, restricted
securities, reverse repurchase agreements, and swap agreements.
RISKS OF LOWER-QUALITY TAXABLE DEBT SECURITIES
Lower-quality debt securities usually are defined as securities rated Ba or
lower by Moody's or BB or lower by S&P. Lower-rated debt securities are
considered speculative and involve greater risk of loss than higher-rated
debt securities , and are more sensitive to changes in the issuer's
capacity to pay. This is an aggressive approach to income investing.
The 1980s saw a dramatic increase in the use of lower-rated debt securities
to finance highly leveraged corporate acquisitions and restructurings. Past
experience may not provide an accurate indication of the future performance
of lower-rated debt securities, especially during periods of economic
recession. In fact, from 1989 to 1991, the percentage of lower-rated debt
securities that defaulted rose significantly above prior levels, although
the default rate decreased in 1992.
Lower-rated debt securities may be thinly traded, which can adversely
affect the prices at which these securities can be sold and can
result in high transaction costs. If market quotations are not
available, lower-rated debt securities will be valued in accordance
with standards set by the Board of Trustees, including the use of outside
pricing services. Judgment plays a greater role in valuing lower-rated debt
securities than securities for which more extensive quotations and last
sale information are available. Adverse publicity and changing investor
perceptions may affect the ability of outside pricing services to value
lower-rated debt securities, and the Fund's ability to dispose of
these securities.
The market prices of lower-rated debt securities may decline significantly
in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates. During an economic downturn or a prolonged period of
rising interest rates, the ability of issuers of lower-rated debt to
service their payment obligations, meet projected goals, or obtain
additional financing may be impaired.
The Fund may choose, at its own 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 interest of Fund shareholders.
The considerations discussed above for lower-rated debt securities also
apply to lower - quality, unrated debt instruments of all
types, including loans and other direct indebtedness of businesses with
poor credit standing. Unrated debt instruments are not necessarily of
lower - quality than rated securities, but they may not be attractive
to as many buyers. The Fund relies more on FMR's credit analysis when
investing in debt instruments that are unrated. Please refer to
page s 31 and 32 for a discussion of Moody's and S&P
ratings.
FIDELITY ADVISOR LIMITED TERM BOND FUND seeks to provide a high rate
of income through investment in high- and upper-medium grade fixed-income
obligations, as follows:
(I) Corporate obligations which are rated AAA, AA, or A by S&P, or Aaa,
Aa, or A by Moody's;
(II) Obligations issued or guaranteed as to interest and principal by the
government of the U.S. , or any agency or instrumentality thereof;
(III) Obligations (including certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances) of U.S. banks which at the date of investment have capital
gains, surplus, and undivided profits (as of the date of their most
recently published annual financial statements) in excess of $100,000,000;
(IV) Commercial paper which at the date of investment is rated A-1 or A-2
by S&P or Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's or, if not rated, is issued by
companies which at the date of investment have an outstanding debt issue
rated AAA, AA, or A by S&P or Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's; and
(V) Such other fixed-income instruments as the Board of Trustees, in its
judgment, deems to be of comparable quality to those enumerated above.
Instruments in which the Fund may invest include asset-backed
securities , collateralized mortgage obligations, convertible
securities , loans and other direct debt instruments,
mortgage - backed securities , and zero coupon securities.
FMR's standards for determining high- and upper-medium grades are
essentially the same as those described by S&P and Moody's as
characteristic of their ratings of A and above. Such instruments have
strong protection of principal and interest payments. In addition to
reliance on S&P's or Moody's ratings, FMR also performs its own credit
analysis. The Fund also may invest in unrated instruments, and may at times
purchase instruments rated below A if FMR judges them to be of comparable
quality to those rated A or better. Currently, the Fund does not intend to
invest in debt obligations rated below BBB. Investment-grade bonds are
generally of medium to high quality. Those rated in the lower end of the
category (Baa/BBB), however, may possess speculative characteristics and
may be more sensitive to economic changes and changes in the financial
condition of issues.
In addition, the Fund may seek capital appreciation when consistent with
its primary objective. In seeking capital appreciation, FMR will select
securities for the Fund based on its judgment as to economic and market
conditions and the prospects for interest rate changes.
The Fund may purchase or engage in foreign investments, indexed
securities, illiquid investments, loans and other direct debt instruments,
options and futures contracts, repurchase agreements and securities loans,
restricted securities, and swap agreements. The Fund also may engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for temporary or emergency purposes and not
for investment purposes.
The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 10 years or
less . As of November 30, 1993 , its average maturity was
8.12 years. Based on FMR's assessment of interest rate trends,
generally, the average maturity will be shortened when interest rates are
expected to rise and lengthened up to 10 years when interest rates are
expected to decline.
FIDELITY ADVISOR GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND seeks a high level of current
income by investing primarily in obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities. Under normal
circumstances, as a non-fundamental policy at least 65% of the
Fund's assets will be invested in government securities.
The Fund invests primarily in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities (U.S. government
securities), including U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills, Government
National Mortgage Association mortgage-backed pass-through certificates
(Ginnie Maes) and mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National
Mortgage Association (Fannie Maes) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (Freddie Macs). The U.S. government securities the Fund invests
in may or may not be fully backed by the U.S. government. The Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements involving any securities in which it may
invest and also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund
considers "government securities" to include U.S. government securities
subject to repurchase agreements. The Fund is not restricted as to the
percentage of its assets that may be invested in any one type of U.S.
government security. The Fund may for temporary defensive purposes invest
without limit in U.S. government securities having a maturity of 365 days
or less. The Fund may invest in delayed - delivery transactions,
options and futures contracts, indexed securities, swap agreements and zero
coupon bonds. In seeking current income, the Fund also may consider the
potential for capital gain.
FIDELITY ADVISOR SHORT FIXED-INCOME FUND seeks to obtain a high level of
current income, consistent with preservation of capital, by investing
primarily in a broad range of investment-grade fixed-income securities.
Under normal conditions, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets will be
invested in fixed - income securities. Where consistent with its
investment objective, the Fund will take advantage of opportunities to
realize capital appreciation.
The Fund normally will invest primarily in investment-grade fixed-income
securities of all types. Investment-grade fixed-income securities are
considered to be securities rated Baa or higher by Moody's or BBB or higher
by S&P, and unrated securities that are of equivalent quality in FMR's
opinion. The Fund may invest in lower-quality, high-yielding securities
(commonly referred to as "junk bonds"), as long as they are consistent with
the Fund's objective of obtaining a high level of current income consistent
with the preservation of capital. The Fund currently intends to limit its
investments in these securities to 35% of its assets. As a non-fundamental
policy, the Fund does not currently expect to invest in securities rated
lower than B by S&P or Moody's.
Fixed-income securities may include, in any proportion, bonds, notes, U.S.
government and government agency obligations, mortgage-related and
asset-backed securities, zero coupon securities, foreign securities,
indexed securities and convertible securities, and short-term obligations
such as certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, bankers'
acceptances and commercial paper. The Fund also may purchase or engage
in illiquid investments, loans and other direct debt instruments,
options and futures contracts, restricted securities, and swap agreements.
In making investment decisions for the Fund, FMR will consider many factors
other than current yield, including the preservation of capital, the
potential for realizing capital appreciation, maturity and yield to
maturity. FMR will adjust the Fund's investments in particular securities
or in types of debt securities in response to its appraisal of changing
economic conditions and trends. FMR may sell securities in anticipation of
a market decline or purchase securities in anticipation of a market rise.
In addition, FMR may sell one security and purchase another security of
comparable quality and maturity to take advantage of what FMR believes to
be short-term differentials in market values or yield disparities. The Fund
may invest a portion of its assets in securities issued by foreign
companies and foreign governments, which may be less liquid or more
volatile than domestic investments. The Fund's investments, other than
those backed by the U.S. government, are subject to the ability of the
issuer to make payment at maturity.
The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted maturity of three years or less.
The Fund may hold individual securities with remaining maturities of more
than three years, as long as the Fund's average maturity is three years or
less.
MUNICIPAL/TAX-EXEMPT FUNDS . Tax-exempt funds invest primarily in
municipal securities which are issued by state and local governments and
their agencies to raise money for various public purposes, including
general purpose financing for state and local governments as well as
financing for specific projects or public facilities. Municipal securities
may be backed by the full taxing power of a municipality or by the revenues
from a specific project or the credit of a private organization. Some
municipal securities are insured by private insurance companies, while
others may be supported by letters of credit furnished by domestic or
foreign banks. FMR monitors the financial condition of parties (including
insurance companies, banks, and corporations) whose creditworthiness is
relied upon in determining the credit quality of securities the Funds may
purchase.
Yields on municipal bonds, and therefore the yield of High Income Municipal
and Limited Term Tax-Exempt , depend on factors such as general
market conditions, interest rates, the size of a particular
offering, the maturities of the obligations and the quality of the issues.
The ability of the Funds to achieve their investment objectives is also
dependent on the continuing ability of the issuers of the municipal
obligations in which the Funds invest to meet their obligations for the
payment of interest and principal when due.
Bonds generally are considered to be interest rate sensitive, which means
that their values move inversely to interest rates. Long-term municipals
generally are more exposed to market fluctuations resulting from changes in
interest rates than are short-term municipals.
While the market for municipals is considered to be substantial, adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the ability of
outside pricing services used by a Fund to value its portfolio securities
and the Fund's ability to dispose of lower-rated bonds. The outside pricing
services are consistently monitored to assure that securities are valued by
a method that the Board believes accurately reflects fair value. The impact
of changing investor perceptions may be especially pronounced in markets
where municipal securities are thinly traded.
The Funds' investments in municipal securities may include fixed, variable,
or floating rate general obligation and revenue bonds (including municipal
lease obligations and resource recovery bonds); zero coupon and
asset-backed securities; inverse floaters; tax, revenue, or bond
anticipation notes; and tax-exempt commercial paper. The Funds may buy or
sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis (including
refunding contracts), and may purchase restricted securities. The Funds may
also buy and sell options and futures contracts.
Municipal obligations, including industrial development revenue
bonds, are issued by or on behalf of states, territories, and possessions
of the U.S. and the District of Columbia and their political
subdivisions, agencies, and instrumentalities.
Each Fund may from time to time invest more than 25% of its
total assets in securities whose revenue sources are
from similar types of projects (e.g., education, electric utilities,
health care, housing, transportation, or water, sewer and gas utilities) or
whose issuers share the same geographic location. As a result, a Fund may
be more susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory
development than would a portfolio of bonds with a greater variety of
issuers. These developments include proposed legislation or pending court
decisions affecting the financing of such projects and market factors
affecting the demand for their services or products.
FIDELITY ADVISOR HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND seeks to provide a high current
yield by investing in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations. It
is the policy of the Fund that under normal conditions at least 80% of its
net assets will be invested in municipal obligations whose interest is not
included in gross income for purposes of calculating federal income tax.
Interest from all or a portion of the Fund's municipal bonds may be a "tax
preference" item for some shareholders in determining their federal
alternative minimum tax. Stability and growth of principal also will be
considered when choosing securities.
Interest on some "private activity" municipal obligations is subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax AMT bonds. AMT bonds are municipal
obligations that benefit a private or industrial user or finance a
private facility. The Fund reserves the right to invest up to 100% of its
assets in AMT bonds.
The Fund may invest in municipal obligations which are rated in the medium
and lower rating categories of NRSROs (such as obligations rated Caa
by Moody's or CCC by S&P) or which are unrated, but judged by FMR,
pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, to meet the
quality standards of the Fund. Municipal obligations which are in the
medium and lower rating categories or which are unrated generally offer a
higher current yield than those offered by municipal obligations which are
in the higher rating categories. Since available yields and the yield
differential between higher and lower-rated obligations vary over time, no
specific level of income or yield differential can be assured. Lower-rated
bonds (those rated Ba/BB or lower) involve greater risk, including risk of
default.
The Fund also may purchase tax-exempt instruments that become available in
the future as long as FMR believes that their quality is equivalent to
those rated Caa or CCC or better by Moody's or S&P, respectively.
The Fund's yield depends in part on the quality of its investments.
Obligations rated investment grade or better (Baa/BBB or higher) generally
are of medium to high quality. These securities typically have moderate to
poor protection of principal and interest payments and have speculative
characteristics.
Unrated obligations may be either investment grade or lower quality, but
usually are not attractive to as many buyers. The Fund relies heavily on
FMR's credit analysis when purchasing unrated or lower-rated bonds.
While lower-rated bonds traditionally have been less sensitive to interest
rate changes than higher-rated investments, as with all bonds, the prices
of lower-rated bonds will be affected by interest rate changes. Economic
changes may affect lower-rated securities differently than other
securities. Lower-rated municipal bonds may be more sensitive to adverse
economic changes (including recession) in specific regions or localities or
among specific types of issuers. During an economic downturn or a prolonged
period of rising interest rates, issuers of lower-rated debt may have
problems servicing their debt, meeting projected revenue goals, or
obtaining additional financing. Periods of economic uncertainty and
interest rate changes may cause market price volatility for lower-rated
bonds and corresponding volatility in the Fund's share price.
During periods when, in FMR's opinion, a temporary defensive posture in the
market is appropriate, the Fund may invest without limitation in cash or in
obligations whose interest payments may be federally taxable. Taxable
obligations include, but are not limited to, certificates of deposit,
commercial paper, obligations issued by the U.S. government or any of its
agencies or instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements.
The Fund may purchase long-term municipals with maturities of 20 years or
more, which generally produce higher yields than short-term
municipals. The Fund also may purchase short-term municipal obligations in
order to provide for short-term capital needs. The average maturity of the
Fund is currently expected to be greater than 20 years. Since the Fund's
objective is to provide a high current yield, the Fund will purchase
municipals with an emphasis on income. FMR may vary the Fund's average
maturity depending on anticipated market conditions. Generally, the average
maturity will be shortened when interest rates are expected to rise and
lengthened when rates are expected to decline.
FIDELITY ADVISOR LIMITED TERM TAX-EXEMPT FUND seeks the highest level of
income exempt from federal income taxes that can be obtained consistent
with the preservation of capital, from a diversified portfolio of high
quality or upper-medium quality municipal obligations. Under normal
conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's annual income will be exempt from
federal income taxes and at least 80% of the Fund's net assets will be
invested in obligations having remaining maturities of 15 years or less.
The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 10 years or
less.
The Fund will invest in municipal obligations which, in the judgment of
FMR, are high quality or at least upper-medium quality. The Fund's
standards for high quality and upper-medium quality obligations are
essentially the same as those described by Moody's in rating municipal
obligations within its three highest ratings of Aaa, Aa, and A and as those
described by S&P in rating such obligations within its three highest
ratings of AAA, AA and A. As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not
purchase a security rated by Moody's or S&P unless it has received at
least an A rating from either rating service.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in municipal obligations
which are unrated by Moody's or S&P if, in the judgment of FMR, such
municipal obligations meet the standards of quality as set forth above.
Unrated bonds are not necessarily of lower quality and may have higher
yields than rated bonds, but the market for rated bonds is usually broader.
The Fund may engage in delayed delivery transactions and may purchase
restricted securities. The Fund also may purchase and sell futures
contracts and may purchase and write put and call options. The Fund may use
futures contracts and options to hedge a portion of its investments against
changes in value, or as an alternative to purchasing or selling actual
securities.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a single issuer's
securities. The Fund may invest any portion of its assets in industrial
revenue bonds (IRBs) backed by private issuers, and may invest up to 25% of
its total assets in IRBs related to a single industry.
The Fund currently does not intend to invest in taxable obligations;
however, consistent with that portion of its investment objective concerned
with the preservation of capital, from time to time the Fund may invest a
portion (normally not to exceed 20%) of its net assets on a temporary basis
in fixed-income obligations whose interest is subject to federal income
tax. These taxable obligations may include repurchase agreements. The
Fund does not currently intend to invest in AMT bonds.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Fund has adopted the following investment limitations designed to
reduce investment risk. The policies and limitations discussed below, and
in the Appendix beginning on page , are considered at the time of purchase.
With the exception of each Fund's borrowing policy, the sale of portfolio
securities is not required in the event of a subsequent change in
circumstances.
DIVERSIFICATION: These limitations do not apply to U.S. government
securities and are fundamental.
(bullet) Equity Portfolio Growth and Strategic Opportunities each may not
purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would
be invested in the securities of any issuer;
(bullet) With respect to 75% of its total assets, each other
Fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total
assets would be invested in the securities of any issuer.
(bullet) Each Fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, it
would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer
(except that Overseas, Growth Opportunities, Equity Portfolio Income,
Income & Growth, High Yield, Government Investment, and Short
Fixed-Income each may invest up to 25% of its total assets without
regard to this limitation).
(bullet) Limited Term Tax-Exempt may not purchase the securities of any
issuer if, as a result, more than 25% of its total assets would be invested
in industrial development bonds whose issuers are in any one industry.
(bullet) E ach other Fund may not purchase the securities of
any issuer if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund's total assets would
be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business
activities in the same industry.
BORROWING: The following limitations are fundamental.
(bullet) Each fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency
purposes, in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of its total
assets;
(bullet) Strategic Opportunities , Limited Term Bond, Income &
Growth and Limited Term Tax-Exempt may not purchase any security while
borrowings representing more than 5% of its total assets are outstanding.
(bullet) Growth Opportunities, Income & Growth, Government
Investment Short Fixed Income and High Income Municipal may not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its net
assets are outstanding.
The following limitations are non-fundamental.
(bullet) Growth Opportunities and Income & Growth , may
not purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
net assets are outstanding.
(bullet) Each other fund may not purchase any security while
borrowings representing more than 5% of its total assets are outstanding.
(bullet) Each Fund may borrow money from banks or from other
funds advised by FMR, or by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements.
LENDING: Percentage limitations are fundamental.
(bullet) High Income Municipal and Limited Term Tax-Exempt do not
currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements or make loans (but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities).
(bullet) Each f und (a) may lend securities to a broker-dealer or
institution when the loan is fully collateralized; and (b) may lend money
to a mutual fund advised by FMR or an affiliate. Each Fund will limit loans
in the aggregate to 33 1/3% of its total assets.
Each Fund has received permission from the SEC to lend money to and
borrow money from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, High Income
Municipal and Limited Term Tax-Exempt will participate only as
borrowers . If a Fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to
greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. To this extent,
purchasing securities when borrowings are outstanding may involve an
element of leverage.
As a non-fundamental policy, each Fund may not purchase a security, if
as a result, more than 15% (Overseas and High Yield) or 10% (all others) of
its assets would be invested in illiquid investments.
FEES
20.MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES. For managing its investments and business
affairs, each Fund pays a monthly fee to FMR.
Each Fund (with the exception of Equity Portfolio Income, see below) pays a
monthly fee to FMR based on a basic fee rate, which is the sum of two
components:
1. A group fee rate based on the monthly average net assets of all of the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate for Equity Funds cannot rise above
.52% and it drops (to as low as a marginal rate of .31%*) as total assets
in all of these funds rise. The effective E quity F und group
fee rate for September 1993, October 1993 and November 1993 was
.3262 %, .3254 % and .3250 %, respectively. The group fee
rate for Fixed-Income Funds cannot rise above .37% and it drops (to as low
as a marginal rate of .15%*) as total assets in all of these funds rise.
The effective F ixed- I ncome group fee rate for October 1993
and November 1993 was .1631 % and .1627 %, respectively.
2. An individual fund fee rate, which varies for each Fund.
* FMR VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO ADOPT REVISED GROUP FEE RATE SCHEDULES WHICH
PROVIDE FOR A MARGINAL RATE AS LOW AS .285% (EQUITY FUNDS) AND .1325%
(FIXED-INCOME FUNDS) WHEN AVERAGE GROUP NET ASSETS EXCEED $336 BILLION. A
NEW MANAGEMENT CONTRACT WITH A REVISED GROUP FEE RATE SCHEDULE WILL BE
PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL AT EACH FUND'S NEXT SHAREHOLDER MEETING.
One-twelfth of the annual management fee rate is applied to each Fund's net
assets averaged over the most recent month, giving a dollar amount which is
the management fee for that month.
Equity Portfolio Income pays FMR a monthly management fee at an annual rate
of .50% of its average net assets.
The following are the individual fund fee rates and total management
fee s for each Fund 's most recent fiscal year end.
TOTAL
MANAGEMENT FEE
INDIVIDUAL (AS A PERCENT OF AVERAGE
FUND FEE RATE NET ASSETS)
(AS A PERCENTAGE OF BEFORE REIMBURSEMENTS,
AVERAGE NET ASSETS) IF ANY
EQUITY FUNDS:
Overseas 0.45% 0. 77 %(dagger)
Equity Portfolio Growth 0.33% 0. 66 %
Growth Opportunities 0.30% 0. 68 %
Global Resources 0.45% 0. 77 % (dagger)
Strategic Opportunities 0.30% 0. 54 %
Equity Portfolio Income .NA 0. 50 %
Income & Growth 0.20% 0. 53 %
FIXED - INCOME FUNDS:
High Yield 0.45% 0. 51 %
Limited Term Bond 0.25% 0. 42 %
Government Investment 0.30% 0. 46 %
Short Fixed-Income 0.30% 0. 47 %

MUNICIPAL/TAX-EXEMPT FUNDS:
High Income Municipal Fund 0.25% 0. 42 %
Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund 0.25% 0. 42 %
(dagger) TOTAL MANAGEMENT FEES ARE HIGHER THAN THOSE CHARGED BY MOST
MUTUAL FUNDS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY HIGHER THAN THOSE OF A TYPICAL
INTERNATIONAL FUND, DUE TO THE GREATER COMPLEXITY, EXPENSE AND COMMITMENT
OF RESOURCES INVOLVED IN INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.
In addition to the basic fee, the management fee s for Overseas,
Growth Opportunities, and Strategic Opportunities vary based on
performance. The performance adjustment is added to or subtracted from the
basic fee and is calculated monthly. It is based on a comparison of each
Fund's performance to that of an index, over the most recent 36-month
period. The difference is converted into a dollar amount that is added to
or subtracted from the basic fee. This adjustment rewards FMR when the Fund
outperforms the index and reduces FMR's fee when the Fund underperforms the
index. The maximum annualized performance index adjustment rate for each
Fund is +/- .20%. Overseas compares itself to the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Europe, Australia, Far East Index. (Prior to December 1,
1992, Overseas Fund's performance adjustment was based on a comparison with
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index.) Growth
Opportunities and Strategic Opportunities compare themselves to the S&P
500. Investment performance will be measured separately for each class of
Strategic Opportunities, and the lesser of the two results obtained will be
used in calculating the performance adjustment.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a Fund for expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets. FMR retains
the ability to be repaid by a Fund for these expense reimbursements in the
amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal
year. Fee reimbursements by FMR will increase a Fund's yield and total
return, and repayment by a Fund will lower its yield and total
return. FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses of
Government Investment and Limited Term Tax-Exempt to the
extent that total expenses exceed 0. 60%, and 0.90%,
respectively , of the Fund's average net assets.
FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements on behalf of certain Funds.
Sub-advisors provide research and investment advice and research services
with respect to companies based outside the U.S. and FMR may
grant sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority
to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to a
Fund.
Overseas, Equity Portfolio Growth, Strategic Opportunities, Equity
Portfolio Income, and High Yield each have entered into sub-advisory
agreements with Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.)
and Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East). FMR
U.K. focuses primarily on companies based in Europe, and FMR Far East
focuses primarily on companies based in Asia and the Pacific Basin. Under
the sub-advisory agreements, FMR, and not the Fund, may pay FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of each
sub-advisor's costs incurred in connection with its sub-advisory agreement.
In addition, Overseas has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with
Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA). FIIA, in turn, has
entered into a sub-advisory agreement with its wholly owned subsidiary
Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIAL U.K.).
Currently, FIIAL U.K. focuses on companies other than the U.S. ,
including countries in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Basin. Under the
sub-advisory agreement, FMR pays FIIA 30% of its monthly management fee
with respect to the average market value of investments held by the Fund
for which FIIA has provided FMR with investment advice. FIIA, in turn, pays
FIIAL U.K. a fee equal to 110% of FIIAL U.K.'s costs incurred in connection
with providing investment advice and research services.
The Transfer Agent has delegated certain transfer, dividend paying and
shareholder services to Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, an
affiliate of FMR. The Transfer Agent reallows to FIIOC a portion of its fee
for accounts for which FIIOC provides limited services, or its full fee for
accounts that FIIOC maintains on its behalf.
The Fund s pay t ransfer a gent fees based on the type,
size and number of accounts in a Fund and the number of monetary
transactions made by shareholders.
The fees for pricing and bookkeeping services are based on a Fund's average
net assets, but must fall within a range of $45,000 to $750,000 per year.
Fidelity Service Co. (Service), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109, an affiliate of FMR, calculates each Fund's daily
share price, and maintains its general accounting records (with the
exception of High Income Municipal and Limited Term Tax-Exempt, see below).
For those Funds which can engage in securities lending, Service also
administers its securities lending program. For the most recent fiscal year
ended, each Fund's fees for pricing and bookkeeping services (including
related out-of-pocket expenses) amounted to: $57,711 (Overseas); $234,813
(Equity Portfolio Growth); $513,950 (Growth Opportunities); $45,425 (Global
Resources); $145,494 (Strategic Opportunities); $113,026 (Equity Portfolio
Income); $410,561 (Income & Growth); $121,204 (High Yield); $81,106
(Limited Term Bond); $46,457 (Government Investment); and $143,813 (Short
Fixed-Income).
For High Income Municipal and Limited Term Tax-Exempt, United Missouri
Bank, N.A. (United Missouri), 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri
64106, acts as the custodian, transfer agent and pricing and
bookkeeping agent. United Missouri has a sub-arrangement with the Transfer
Agent for transfer agent services and a sub-arrangement with Service for
pricing and bookkeeping services. For the most recent fiscal year ended,
fees paid to Service (including related out-of-pocket expenses) amounted to
$ 157,559 (High Income Municipal) and $ 45,724 (Limited Term
Tax-Exempt). All of the fees are paid to the Transfer Agent and Service by
United Missouri, which is reimbursed by the Funds for such payments.
The Fund s' operating expenses include custodial, legal and
accounting fees, charges to register a Trust or Fund with federal and state
regulatory authorities and other miscellaneous expenses. Each Fund's total
operating expenses after reimbursement, if any, as a percent of average net
assets, including the 12b-1 fee (see below), for the most recent fiscal
year ended w ere as follows: 2.38 % (Overseas); 1.84 %
(Equity Portfolio Growth); 1.64 % (Growth Opportunities);
2.62 % (Global Resources); 1.57 % (Strategic Opportunities);
1.77 % (Equity Portfolio Income); 1.51 % (Income & Growth);
1.11 % (High Yield); 1.23 % (Limited Term Bond); .68 %
(Government Investment); .95 % (Short Fixed-Income); .92 %
(High Income Municipal); .90 % (Limited Term Tax-Exempt). If FMR had
not reimbursed certain Funds, total operating expenses for the most recent
fiscal year ended would have been as follows: 1.32% (Government
Investment) and 1.36 % (Limited Term Tax-Exempt).
21.DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN S . The Board of Trustees of each
Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan s ) on
behalf of each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule) . The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage
directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is intended primarily
to result in the sale of shares of a Fund except pursuant to the
plan adopted by the Fund under the Rule. The Board s of Trustees
have adopted the Plan s to allow each Fund and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute direct or indirect
payment by a Fund of distribution expenses.
Under each Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay Distributors a monthly
distribution fee as compensation for its services and expenses in
connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund. The Equity
f unds pay Distributors a distribution fee at an annual rate of each
Fund's average net assets determined as of the close of business on each
day throughout the month. The Board of Trustees for certain Funds has
approved a distribution fee less than the maximum allowed. The fee may be
increased only when, in the opinion of the Trustees, it is in the best
interests of the Fund's shareholders to do so. This distribution fee is
paid by each Fund, not by individual accounts. Overseas, Growth
Opportunities, Global Resources, Strategic Opportunities, and Income &
Growth each pay .65%. Equity Portfolio Growth and Equity Portfolio Income
each pay .65% (the Board can approve a maximum rate of .75%). High Yield,
Limited Term Bond, Government Investment, High Income Municipal and Limited
Term Tax-Exempt each pay .25% (the Board can approve a maximum rate of
.40%). Short Fixed-Income pays .15%.
All or a portion of the distribution fee may be paid by Distributors to
investment professionals as compensation for selling shares of the Funds
and providing ongoing sales support services or for shareholder support
services. The distribution fee is a Fund expense in addition to the
management fee and the Fund's other expenses. Such expenses will reduce the
Fund's net investment income and total return.
The Plan also provides that, through Distributors, FMR may make payments
from its management fee or other resources to investment professionals in
connection with the distribution of Fund shares. Investment professionals
will be compensated with a fee of .25% for if the assets on which
the .25% is paid remain within the Fidelity Advisor Funds for one
uninterrupted year or the investment professional will be required to
refund this fee to Distributors. The fee will not be paid on
purchases through a bank or bank-affiliated broker-dealers that qualify for
a Sales Charge Waiver described on page 12 . FMR may terminate the
program at any time.
Fees paid pursuant to each Fund's Distribution and Service
Plan will be limited by the restrictions imposed by the NASD rule.
The NASD has approved amendments which subject asset based sales charges to
its maximum sales charge rule.
Distributors may pay all or a portion of the applicable sales charge and
distribution and service fee to investment professionals who sell shares of
the Funds. Investment professionals who provide enhanced inquiry, order
entry and sales facilities in connection with transactions in Fund shares
by their clients may receive an administrative fee up to the maximum
applicable sales charge described in "Sales Charge s and Investment
Professional Concessions," on page . In addition, Distributors will,
at its expense, provide promotional incentives such as sales contests and
trips to investment professionals who support the sale of shares of the
Funds. In some instances, these incentives will be offered only to certain
types of investment professionals, such as bank-affiliated or non-bank
affiliated broker-dealers, or to investment professionals whose
representatives provide services in connection with the sale or expected
sale of significant amounts of shares.
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 fully defined, in Distributors' opinion it
should not prohibit banks from being paid for shareholder servicing and
recordkeeping. If, because of changes in law or regulation, or because of
new interpretations of existing law, a bank or a Fund were prevented from
continuing these arrangements, it is expected that the Board would make
other arrangements for these services and that shareholders would not
suffer adverse financial consequences. 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.
VALUATION
A Fund's shares are valued at NAV. NAV is determined for shares of each
Fund by adding the value of all security holdings and other assets of the
Fund, deducting liabilities allocated to each class (when appropriate), and
then dividing the result by the proportional number of shares of the Fund
outstanding in a class.
NAV normally is calculated as of the close of business of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Funds are open for business and NAV
is calculated each day the NYSE is open for trading. Fund securities and
other assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations
furnished by pricing services, or if quotations are not available, by a
method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the primary market
in which they are traded and are converted from the local currency into
U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.
PERFORMANCE
Each Fund's performance may be quoted in advertising in terms of total
return. All performance information is historical and is not intended to
indicate future performance. Share price and total return fluctuate in
response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of a Fund's
shares when sold may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Excluding a sales charge from a performance calculation produces a higher
total return figure. TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment
in a 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 and
cumulative total returns usually will include the effect of paying a Fund's
maximum sales charge.
The Funds also may quote performance in terms of yield. YIELD refers
to the income generated by an investment in a 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. High
Income Municipal Fund and Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund may quote a
TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD, which show s the taxable yield an investor
would have to earn after taxes to equal the Fund's tax -free yield. A
tax-equivalent yield is calculated by dividing a Fund's yield by the result
of one minus a stated federal or state tax rate. Because yield
calculations differ from other accounting methods, the quoted yield may not
equal the income actually paid to shareholders. This difference may be
significant for funds whose investments are denominated in foreign
currencies. In calculating yield, the Funds 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 a F und's yield .

professional or Distributors for a free A nnual R eport and

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
FMR uses various brokerage firms to carry out each Fund's equity security
transactions Fixed-income securities are generally traded in the
over-the-counter market through broker-dealers. A broker-dealer is a
securities firm or bank which makes a market for securities by offering to
buy at one price and sell at a slightly higher price. The difference is
known as a spread. Foreign securities are normally traded in foreign
countries since the best available market for foreign securities is often
on foreign markets. In transactions on foreign stock exchanges ,
brokers' commissions are generally fixed and are often higher than in
the U.S. , where commissions are negotiated. Since FMR, directly or
through affiliated sub-advisers, places a large number of transactions,
including those of Fidelity's other funds, the Funds pay lower commissions
than those paid by individual investors, and broker-dealers are willing to
work with the Funds on a more favorable spread.
The Funds have authorized FMR to allocate transactions to some
broker-dealers who help distribute the Fund's shares or the shares of
Fidelity's other funds to the extent permitted by law, and on an agency
basis to Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI) and Fidelity
Brokerage Services Ltd. (FBSL), affiliates of FMR. FMR will make such
allocations if commissions are comparable to those charged by
non-affiliated qualified broker-dealers for similar services.
FMR may also allocate brokerage transactions to a Fund's custodian, acting
as a broker-dealer, or other broker-dealers, so long as transaction quality
is comparable to those of other broker-dealers, where the
broker-dealer will allocate a portion of the commissions paid toward
payment of a Fund's expenses. These expenses currently include transfer
agent fees and custodian fees.
Higher commissions may be paid to those firms that provide research,
valuation and other services to the extent permitted by law. FMR also is
authorized to allocate brokerage transactions to FBSI in order to secure
from FBSI research services produced by third party, independent entities.
FMR may use this research information in managing each Fund's assets, as
well as assets of other clients.
When consistent with its investment objective, each
F ixed- I ncome f und may engage in short-term trading.
Also, a security may be sold and another of comparable quality
simultaneously purchased to take advantage of what FMR believes to be a
temporary disparity in the normal yield relationship of the two securities.
The frequency of portfolio transactions - the turnover rate - will vary
from year to year depending on market conditions. Each Fund's turnover rate
for the most recent fiscal year ended was: 42% (Overseas); 160%
(Equity Portfolio Growth); 69% (Growth Opportunities); 208% (Global
Resources); 183% (Strategic Opportunities); 120 % (Equity Portfolio
Income); 200% (Income & Growth); 79% (High Yield); 59% (Limited Term
Bond); 333 % (Government Investment); 58% (Short Fixed
Income); 27% (High Income Municipal); and 46% Limited Term Tax-Exempt.
Because a high turnover rate increases transaction costs and may increase
taxable capital gains, FMR carefully weighs the anticipated benefits of
short-term investing against these consequences.
THE TRUSTS AND THE FIDELITY ORGANIZATION
Each Trust is an open-end diversified management investment company. Each
Trust was established by a separate Declaration of Trust as a Massachusetts
business trust on each date as follows: June 24, 1983, Fidelity Advisor
Series I; April 24, 1986, Fidelity Advisor Series II; May 17, 1982,
Fidelity Advisor Series III; May 6, 1983, Fidelity Advisor Series
IV ; April 24, 1986, Fidelity Advisor Series V; June 1, 1983,
Fidelity Advisor Series VI; March 21, 1980, Fidelity Advisor Series VII;
and September 23, 1983, Fidelity Advisor Series VIII. Each Trust has its
own Board of Trustees that supervises Fund activities and reviews the
Fund's contractual arrangements with companies that provide the Funds with
services. As Massachusetts business trusts, the Funds are not required to
hold annual shareholder meetings, although special meetings may be called
for a class of shares, a Fund or a Trust as a whole for purposes such as
electing or removing Trustees, changing fundamental investment policies or
limitations or approving a management contract or plan of distribution. As
a shareholder, you receive one vote for each share and fractional votes for
fractional shares of the Fund you own. For shareholders of Equity
Portfolio Income the number of votes you are entitled to is based on the
dollar value of your investment. Separate votes are taken by each class
of shares, or each Fund if a matter affects just that class of shares or
Fund, respectively. There is a remote possibility that one Fund might
become liable for any misstatement in the Prospectus about another Fund.
Each class of shares is offered by separate prospectus.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Growth, Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio
Income, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund, and Fidelity Advisor
Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund are each comp o sed of two classes of
shares, one sold to institutional shareholders ("institutional class") and
the other sold to retail shareholders. Both classes of shares of a Fund
share a common investment objective and investment portfolio. Institutional
class share s are offered continuously at NAV to (i) banks and trust
institutions investing for their own accounts or for accounts of their
trust customers, (ii) plan sponsors meeting the ERISA definition of
fiduciary, (iii) government entities or authorities and (iv) corporations
with at least $100 million in annual revenues. The initial and subsequent
investment minimums for institutional class are $100,000 and $2,500,
respectively. The minimum account balance is $40,000. Shares may be
exchanged for shares of certain other Fidelity funds, including
institutional class shares of other Fidelity Advisor Funds. Transfer and
shareholder servicing is performed by FIIOC. For the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1993, total operating expenses as a percent of average net
assets were: .94% (Fidelity Advisor Institutional Equity Portfolio
Growth); .79% (Fidelity Advisor Institutional Equity Portfolio Income) ;
1.23 % (Fidelity Advisor Institutional Limited Term Bond); and
.64 %, after reimbursement (Fidelity Advisor Institutional Limited
Term Tax-Exempt). Because it has lower total expenses, institutional class
will generally have a higher return than the class offered by this
prospectus. The Distribution and Service Plan of institutional class does
not provide for payment of a separate distribution fee; rather the Plan
recognizes that FMR may use its management fee and other resources to pay
expenses for distribution - related activities and may make payments
to investment professionals that provide shareholder support services or
sell shares. Investment professionals currently do not receive compensation
in connection with distribution and/or shareholder servicing of shares
of institutional class . (Investment professionals receive compensation
for selling, or providing shareholder support services to the holders of
the class offered by this P rospectus , see page 11 )
Fidelity Advisor Series VIII is also composed of two classes of
shares, Fidelity Strategic Opportunities Fund and Fidelity Advisor
Strategic Opportunities Fund. Both classes of the Fund share a
common investment objective and investment portfolio. Fidelity Advisor
Strategic Opportunities Fund shares are offered by this Prospectus to
investors who engage an investment professional for investment advice.
Fidelity Strategic Opportunities Fund is available only to existing
shareholders of that class.
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the U.S. and has its principal business address at 82
Devonshire Street, Boston, MA 02109. It includes a number of different
companies that provide a variety of financial services and products. The
Trusts employ various Fidelity companies to perform certain activities
required to operate the Funds.
Fidelity Management & Research Company is the original Fidelity company
founded in 1946. It provides a number of mutual funds and other clients
with investment research and portfolio management services. It maintains a
large staff of experienced investment personnel and a full complement of
related support facilities. As of December 31, 1993 , FMR advised
funds having approximately 15 million shareholder accounts with a
total value of more than $ 225 billion. Fidelity Distributors Corp.
distributes shares for the Fidelity funds.
FMR Corp. is the parent company for the Fidelity companies. Through

Trustee of the T rust), Johnson family members, and various trusts
for the benefit of Johnson family members form a controlling group with
respect to FMR Corp.

APPENDIX
The following paragraphs provide a brief description of securities in which
the Funds may invest and transactions they may make. Consistent with its
investment objective and policies, each Fund may invest in or engage
in one or more of the following securities transactions . However,
the Funds are not limited by this discussion and may purchase or engage in
one or more of the following securities or transactions. However, the Funds
are not limited by this discussion and may purchase other types of
securities and enter into other types of transactions if they are
consistent with a Fund's investment objective and policies.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Securities may be bought and sold on
a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, with payment and delivery taking
place at a future date. The market value of securities purchased in this
way may change before the delivery date which could increase fluctuations
in a Fund's yield. Ordinarily, a Fund will not earn interest on
securities purchased until they are delivered.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS involve additional risks. Foreign securities and
securities denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies may be affected
by the strength of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, or by
political or economic developments in foreign countries. Foreign companies
may not be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervision
comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be less public information
about their operations. In addition, foreign markets may be less liquid or
more volatile than U.S. markets, and may offer less protection to investors
such as a Fund. These risks are typically greater for investments in
less developed countries whose governments and financial markets may be
more susceptible to adverse political and economic developments. FMR
considers these factors in making investments for the Funds.
A Fund may enter into currency exchange contracts (agreements
to exchange one currency for another at a future date) to manage currency
risks and to facilitate transactions in foreign securities. Although
currency forward contracts can be used to protect the Fund from adverse
exchange rate changes, they involve a risk of loss if FMR fails to predict
foreign currency values correctly.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR
determines the liquidity of each Fund's investments. The absence of a
trading market can make it difficult to ascertain a market value for
illiquid investments. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve
time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or
impossible for a Fund to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.
INDEXED SECURITIES. I ndexed securitie s value s
are linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, or
other financial indicators. Most indexed securities are short to
intermediate term fixed-income securities whose values at maturity or
interest rates rise or fall according to the change in one or more
specified underlying instruments. Indexed securities may be positively or
negatively indexed (i.e., their value may increase or decrease if the
underlying instrument appreciates), and may have return characteristics
similar to direct investments in the underlying instrument or to one or
more options on the underlying instrument. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instrument itself.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. Interfund loans and borrowings normally
will extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. A
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. Each Fund will not lend more than 5% ( E quity
F unds) or 7.5% ( F ixed- I ncome F unds) of its
assets to other funds, and will not borrow through the program if, after
doing so, total outstanding borrowings would exceed 15% of total assets.
Loans may be called on one day's notice, and a 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.
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENT S are interests in amounts
owed by a corporate, governmental or other borrower to another party. They
may represent amounts owed 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 involve the risk
of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may
offer less legal protection to a Fund in the event of fraud or
misrepresentation. In addition, loan participations involve a risk of
insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Direct debt
instruments may also include standby financing commitments that obligate
a Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIE S are those rated Ba or lower by Moody's
or BB or lower by S&P that have poor protection against default
in the payment of principal and interest or may be in default. These
securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk
of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay.
The market prices of lower-rated debt securities may fluctuate more than
those of higher-rated debt securities, and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising
interest rates. See "Debt Obligations" on page .
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIE S are 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 ( 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 a Fund may invest in them if FMR
determines they are consistent with a 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
risk. 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.
STRIPPED MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITI ES 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.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of consumer loans
(generally unrelated to mortgage loans) and most often are structured as
pass-through securities. Interest and principal payments ultimately depend
on payment of the underlying loans by individuals, although the securities
may be supported by letters of credit or other credit enhancements. The
value of asset-backed securities may also depend on the creditworthiness of
the servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or the
financial institution providing the credit enhancement.
A Fund may purchase units of beneficial interest in pools of
purchase contracts, financing leases, and sales agreements entered into by
municipalities. These municipal obligations may be created when a
municipality enters into an installment purchase contract or lease with a
vendor and may be secured by the assets purchased or leased by the
municipality. However, except in very limited circumstances, there will be
no recourse against the vendor if the municipality stops making payments.
The market for tax-exempt asset-backed securities is still relatively new.
These obligations are likely to involve unscheduled prepayments of
principal.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS are bought and sold to manage a
Fund's exposure to changing interest rates, security prices, and
currency exchange rates. Some options and futures strategies, including
selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls, tend to hedge a Fund's
investment against price fluctuations. Other strategies, including buying
futures, writing puts, and buying calls, tend to increase market exposure.
Options and futures may be combined with each other or with forward
contracts in order to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall strategy. A Fund may invest in options and futures based on
any type of security, index, or currency, including options and futures
traded on foreign exchanges and options not traded on exchanges.
Options and futures can be volatile investments and involve certain risks.
If FMR applies a hedge at an inappropriate time or judges market conditions
incorrectly, options and futures strategies may lower a Fund's return. A
Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its options and futures
positions were poorly correlated with its other investments, or if it could
not close out its positions because of an illiquid secondary market.
Options and futures do not pay interest, but may produce taxable capital
gains.
Each Fund will not hedge more than 25% of its total assets by selling
futures, buying puts, and writing calls under normal conditions. In
addition each Fund will not buy futures or write puts whose underlying
value exceeds 25% of its total assets, and will not buy calls with a value
exceeding 5% of its total assets .
REAL ESTATE BACKED SECURITIES. Real estate industry companies may
include among others: real estate investment trusts; brokers or real estate
developers; and companies with substantial real estate holdings, such as
paper and lumber producers and hotel and entertainment companies. Companies
engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to certain risks
including: declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general
and local conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in
property taxes and operating expenses, and variations in rental income.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND SECURITIES LOANS. In a repurchase agreement, a
Fund buys a security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back
at a higher price. A Fund may also make securities loans to broker-dealers
and institutional investors, including FBSI. In the event of the bankruptcy
of the other party to either a repurchase agreement or a securities loan, a
Fund could experience delays in recovering its cash or the securities it
lent. To the extent that, in the meantime, the value of the securities
purchased had decreased or the value of the securities lent had
increased, a Fund could experience a loss. In all cases, FMR must
find the creditworthiness of the other party to the transaction
satisfactory.
RESTRICTED SECURITIE S are securities which cannot be sold to the
public without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 . Unless
registered for sale, these securities can only be sold in privately
negotiated transactions or pursuant to an exemption from registration.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another
party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash. At the same
time, the Fund agrees to repurchase the instrument at an agreed-upon price
and time. A Fund expects that it will engage in reverse repurchase
agreements for temporary purposes such as to fund redemptions. Reverse
repurchase agreements may increase the risk of fluctuation in the market
value of a Fund's assets or in its yield.
SHORT SALES. If a Fund enter s into short sales with respect
to stocks underlying its convertible security holding s, the
transaction may help to hedge against the effect of stock price
declines, but may result in losses if a convertible security's price does
not track the price of its underlying equity. Under normal conditions
c onvertible securities hedged with short sales are not currently
expected to exceed 15% of a Fund's total assets .
SWAP AGREEMENTS. As one way of managing its exposure to different
types of investments, a Fund may enter into interest rate swaps,
currency swaps, and other types of swap agreements such as caps, collars,
and floors. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make
regular payments equal to a floating interest rate times a "notional
principal amount," in return for payments equal to a fixed rate times the
same amount, for a specified period of time. If a swap agreement provides
for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange
the notional principal amount as well. Swaps may also depend on other
prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment
rates.
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 a Fund's investment exposure from one
type of investment to another. For example, if a 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 a Fund's investments and its share price and yield.
Swap agreements are sophisticated hedging instruments that typically
involve a small investment of cash relative to the magnitude of risks
assumed. As a result, swaps can be highly volatile and may have a
considerable impact on a Fund's performance. Swap agreements are subject to
risks related to the counterparty's ability to perform, and may decline in
value if the counterparty's creditworthiness deteriorates. A Fund may also
suffer losses if it is unable to terminate outstanding swap agreements or
reduce its exposure through offsetting transactions.
VARIABLE OR FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS, including certain participation
interests in municipal obligations, have interest rate adjustment formulas
that help to stabilize their market values. Many variable and floating rate
instruments also carry demand features that permit the fund to sell them at
par value plus accrued interest on short notice.
WARRANT S entitle the holder to buy equity securities at a specific
price for a specific period of time. Warrants tend to be more volatile than
their underlying securities. Also, the value of the warrant does not
necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities and a
warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to the expiration
date.
ZERO COUPON BOND S 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, a 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. Government Investment Fund has
been advised that the staff of the Division of Investment Management of the
SEC does not consider these instruments U.S. government securities as
defined by the 1940 Act. Therefore, Government Investment Fund will not
treat these obligations as U.S. government securities for purposes of the
65% portfolio composition test mentioned on page 21 .
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 (REFCORP) and the Financing Corporation (FICO) can also be
separated in this fashion. ORIGINAL ISSUE ZEROS are zero coupon securities
originally issued by the U.S. government or a government agency.
DEBT OBLIGATIONS. The table below provides a summary of ratings assigned to
debt holdings (not including money market instruments) in Funds which have
the ability to invest over 5% in lower-rated debt securities. These
figures are dollar-weighted averages of month-end portfolio holdings during
the thirteen months ended September 30, 1993 (Strategic
Opportunities), October 31, 1993 ( Income & Growth, High Yield,
Short Fixed-Income, and High Income Municipal,) and November 30,
1993 ( and Equity Portfolio Income), presented as a percentage of
total investments. These percentages are historical and are not necessarily
indicative of the quality of current or future portfolio holdings, which
may vary.
The dollar-weighted average of debt securities not rated by either Moody's
or S&P amounted to 0% (Equity Portfolio Growth), .89%
(Strategic Opportunities), .57 % (Equity Portfolio Income),
6.72 % (Income & Growth), 18.74 % (High Yield),
5.85 % (Short Fixed-Income), and 25.23 % (High Income
Municipal) of total investments. This may include securities rated by other
nationally recognized rating organizations, as well as unrated securities.
Unrated securities are not necessarily lower-quality securities.
As of October 31, 1993, Global Resources had no investments below
Baa/BBB.

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES MUNICIPAL INSTRUMENTS:
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES include GENERAL OBLIGATION SECURITIES, which are
backed by the full taxing power of a municipality, and REVENUE
SECURITIES , which are backed by the revenues of a specific tax,
project, or facility. INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS are a type of revenue bond
backed by the credit and security of a private issuer and may involve
greater risk. PRIVATE ACTIVITY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES, which may be subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax, include securities issued to
finance housing projects, student loans, and privately - owned solid
waste disposal and water and sewage treatment facilities.
TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES are issued by municipalities in
expectation of future tax or other revenues, and are payable from those
specific taxes or revenues. BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES normally provide
interim financing in advance of an issue of bonds or notes, the proceeds of
which are used to repay the anticipation notes. TAX-EXEMPT COMMERCIAL PAPER
is issued by municipalities to help finance short-term capital or operating
needs.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are issued by a state or local government or
authority to acquire land and a wide variety of equipment and facilities.
These obligations typically are not fully backed by the municipality's
credit, and their interest may become taxable if the lease is assigned. If
funds are not appropriated for the following year's lease payments, the
lease may terminate, with the possibility of significant loss to a
Fund. CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION in municipal lease obligations or
installment sales contracts entitle the holder to a proportionate interest
in the lease-purchase payments made.
RESOURCE RECOVERY BONDS are a type of revenue bond issued to build
facilities such as solid waste incinerators or waste-to-energy plants.
Typically, a private corporation will be involved, at least during the
construction phase, and the revenue stream will be secured by fees or rents
paid by municipalities for use of the facilities. The viability of a
resource recovery project, environmental protection regulations, and
project operator tax incentives may affect the value and credit quality of
resource recovery bonds.
A DEMAND FEATURE is a put that entitles the security holder to repayment of
the principal amount of the underlying security, upon notice at any
time or at specified intervals. A STANDBY COMMITMENT is a put that entitles
the security holder to same-day settlement at amortized cost plus accrued
interest.
Issuers or financial intermediaries who provide demand features or standby
commitments often support their ability to buy securities on demand by
obtaining LETTERS OF CREDIT (LOCS) or other guarantees from domestic or
foreign banks. LOCs also may be used as credit supports for other types of
municipal instruments. FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit
in determining whether to purchase an instrument supported by an LOC. In
evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate
public information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be
subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency
controls, or other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's
ability to honor its credit commitment.
INVERSE FLOATERS are instruments whose interest rates bear an inverse
relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an
index. Changes in the interest rate on the other security or index
inversely affect the residual interest rate paid on the inverse floater,
with the result that the inverse floater's price will be considerably more
volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond. For example, a municipal issuer
may decide to issue two variable rate instruments instead of a single
long-term, fixed-rate bond. The interest rate on one instrument reflects
short-term interest rates, while the interest rate on the other instrument
(the inverse floater) reflects the approximate rate the issuer would have
paid on a fixed-rate bond, multiplied by two, minus the interest rate paid
on the short-term instrument. Depending on market availability, the two
portions may be recombined to form a fixed-rate municipal bond. The market
for inverse floaters is relatively new.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS. A Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and the Fund
to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a
settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future.
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 C 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.
The ratings from AA to D may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus
to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

FINANCIAL HISTORY
The purpose of the table below is to assist investors in understanding the
various costs and expenses that an investor in each Fund would bear
directly or indirectly. This standard format was developed for use by all
mutual funds to help an investor make investment decisions. This expense
information should be considered along with other important information
such as each Fund's investment objective and past performance. There are
no shareholder transaction expenses associated with purchases,
exchanges or redemptions.

EXAMPLE: YOU WOULD PAY THE FOLLOWING EXPENSES

ON A $1,000 INVESTMENT IN A FUND ASSUMING (1) A
5%

ANNUAL RETURN AND (2) FULL REDEMPTION AT THE END OF

EACH TIME PERIOD.

</TABLE>

* A FTER EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
Annual operating expenses for each Fund are based on historical expenses
for its most recent fiscal year end. Management fees are paid by
each Fund to Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) for managing
its investments and business affairs. The Funds incur other expenses for
maintaining shareholder records, furnishing shareholder statements and
reports, and for other services. A portion of the brokerage commissions
that Equity Portfolio Income and Equity Portfolio Growth paid were used to
reduce Fund expenses. Without this reduction their fund operating expenses
would have been .80% and .95%, respectively. FMR has voluntarily agreed
to reimburse Limited Term Tax-Exempt to the extent that aggregate operating
expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, and
extraordinary expenses) are in excess of an annual rate of 0.65% of
average net assets. If reimbursements were not in effect, the management
fees, other expenses, and total fund operating expenses would have been
.42%, .41%, and .83 %, respectively. Please refer to the section
"Fees and Expenses," page .
The hypothetical example illustrates the expenses, associated with a $1,000
investment in each Fund over periods of one, three , five and ten
years, based on the expenses (after reimbursements, if any) in the table
and an assumed annual return of 5%. THE RETURN OF 5% AND EXPENSES SHOULD
NOT BE CONSIDERED INDICATIONS OF ACTU AL OR EXPECTED FUND PERFORMANCE
OR EXPENSES, BOTH OF WHICH MAY VARY.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables give information about each Fund's financial history
and uses its fiscal year. They have been audited by Coopers &
Lybrand , an independent accountant whose unqualified report s are
included in each Fund's Annual Report. The Annual Reports for each Fund
is included herein, beginning on page 20.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
EQUITY FUNDS:
FIDELITY ADVISOR INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO INCOME seeks to
obtain reasonable income from a portfolio consisting primarily of
income-producing equity securities. The Fund seeks a yield from dividend
and interest income which exceeds the composite dividend yield on
securities comprising the Standard & Poor's Price Index of 500 Common
Stocks (S&P 500). In addition, consistent with the primary objective
of obtaining reasonable income, in managing its portfolio, the Fund will
consider the potential for achieving capital appreciation.
FIDELITY ADVISOR INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO GROWTH seeks to achieve
capital appreciation by investing primarily in the common and preferred
stock, and securities convertible into the common stock, of companies with
above average growth characteristics.
FIXED-INCOME FUNDS:
FIDELITY ADVISOR INSTITUTIONAL LIMITED TERM BOND FUND seeks to
provide a high rate of income through investment in high- and upper-medium
grade fixed-income obligations. The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 10 years or less, defined herein as "limited term." In
addition, the Fund may seek capital appreciation when consistent with its
primary objective.
FIDELITY ADVISOR INSTITUTIONAL LIMITED TERM TAX-EXEMPT FUND seeks
the highest level of income exempt from federal income taxes that can be
obtained consistent with the preservation of capital, from a diversified
portfolio of high quality or upper-medium quality municipal obligations.
Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's annual income will be
exempt from federal income taxes and at least 80% of the Fund's net assets
will be invested in obligations having remaining maturities of 15 years or
less. The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 10
years or less.
The investment objective of each Fund is fundamental and can only be
changed by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Except
as otherwise noted, the investment limitations and policies of Equity
Portfolio Growth, Limited Term Bond Fund, and Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund
are fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. Except
for the investment limitations and policies identified as fundamental, the
limitations and policies of Institutional Equity Portfolio Income
are not fundamental. Non-fundamental investment limitations and policies
may be changed without shareholder approval.
The yield , return and potential price changes of each Fund
depends on the quality and maturity of the obligations in its portfolio, as
well as on market conditions. Risks vary based on the type of fund in which
an investor is invested. As is the case with any investment in securities,
investment in the Funds involves certain risks. A Fund may not always
achieve its objective, but it will follow the investment policies described
in "Investment Policies," on page .
PURCHASING SHARE S OF THE FUNDS
Shares of each Fund are offered continuously to (i) banks and trust
institutions investing for their own accounts or for accounts of their
trust customers, (ii) plan sponsors meeting the ERISA definition of
fiduciary, (iii) government entities or authorities, and (iv) corporations
with at least $100 million in annual revenues. Shares may be purchased at
the NAV next determined after the transfer agent receives the order to
purchase.
Orders for the purchase of shares must be transmitted to the
t ransfer a gent before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time in order for the
investor to receive that day's share price. An investor can open an account
for $100,000 or more by completing and returning a signed account
application. Orders will be confirmed at the NAV next determined following
receipt of the order by the transfer agent . Additional investments
of $2,500 or more may be made. Minimum investments may differ for
tax-deferred retirement plans. For specific information on opening an
account, please contact your institutional sales representative .
Fund shares also are offered to any investor who purchased shares of the
Funds prior to September 10, 1992. Any such investor will be exempt from
the investment minimum and account balance requirements currently in effect
for shares. Further, this exemption is also available to any
investor having opened an account in the Funds prior to January
29, 1993 through a registered investment adviser not registered as a
broker-dealer that charges an account management fee.
All purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on
U.S. banks. Each Fund reserves the right to limit the number of checks
processed at one time. If a check does not clear, the Fund may cancel the
purchase and the investor could be held liable for any fees and/or losses
incurred. When an investor purchases by check, each Fund can hold the
proceeds of redemptions until the transfer agent is reasonably
satisfied that the purchase payment has been collected (which can take up
to seven days). An investor may avoid a delay in receiving redemption
proceeds by purchasing shares with a certified check.
Financial institutions that meet Distributors' creditworthiness criteria
may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with
payment to follow no later than the close of business on the next business
day. If payment is not received by the next business day, the order will be
canceled and the financial institution may be liable for any losses.
Investors in Limited Term Bond Fund and Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund begin
to earn income dividends on a confirmed purchase on the day the Fund
receives payment. For all other purchase orders for these Funds,
investors begin to earn income dividends on the business day after
receipt of payment.
Each Fund and Distributors reserves the right to suspend the offering of
shares for a period of time and to reject any order for the purchase of
shares, including certain purchases by exchange (see "Exchange Privileges,"
page ). Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they are of a
size that would disrupt the management of each Fund.
TO INVEST BY WIRE: It is recommended that investors wire funds early
in the day to ensure proper credit. For wire information and instructions,
please call the institution through which you trade or Fidelity Client
Services at (800) 843-3001.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
An investor may choose from three different Distribution Options:
A. The SHARE OPTION reinvests income dividends and capital
gain distributions.
B . The INCOME-EARNED OPTION pays income dividends in cash and
reinvests capital gain distributions.
C. With the CASH OPTION the investor receives income
dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.
The Distribution Option may be changed at any time by notifying the
transfer agent in writing. If no d istribution option is
selected when an account is opened, the Share Option automatically will be
assigned. Distribution checks for Fixed Income F unds will be mailed
no later than seven days after the last day of the month. On the day a
Fund goes ex-dividend, the amount of the distribution is deducted from its
share price. Reinvestment of distributions will be made at that day's NAV.
If you select Option B or C and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver
your checks, or if your checks remain uncashed for six months, your
distribution checks will be reinvested in your account at the then current
NAV and your election will be converted to the Shaption. The mailing of
cash distribution checks will begin within seven days after the ex-dividend
date.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
An exchange is the redemption of shares of one Fund at the next determined
NAV and the purchase of shares of another Fund at the next determined NAV.
The exchange privilege is a convenient way to sell and buy shares of other
Fidelity Advisor Funds and other Fidelity funds registered in the
investor's state. Sales charges for Fidelity funds, if any, will apply
unless the exchange is made pursuant to a load waiver policy of the fund to
be acquired. Please consult that fund's prospectus to determine if any load
waiver policies apply. FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON ENTERING AN EXCHANGE
TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONSULT THE PROGRAM MATERIALS .
To protect each Fund's performance and shareholders, FMR discourages
frequent trading in response to short-term market fluctuations. Each Fund
reserves the right to refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if,
in FMR's opinion, a Fund would be unable to invest effectively in
accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise
be affected adversely. Exchanges may be restricted or refused if the Fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the Fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to each Fund. Although
each Fund will attempt to give prior notice whenever it is reasonably able
to do so, it may impose these restrictions at any time. Each Fund may
modify or terminate the exchange privilege.
Before making an exchange, please note the following:
(bullet) Read the prospectus of the fund to be acquired by exchange.
(bullet) Investors may only exchange between accounts that are registered
in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number. Exchanges
will not be permitted until a completed and signed application is on file.
(bullet) There is currently a limit of four exchanges out of each Fund per
calendar year. Each Fund reserves the right to temporarily or permanently
suspend the exchange privilege for any investor who exceeds this limit.
Other funds may have different exchange restrictions. Please check each
fund's prospectus for details. The exchange limit may be modified for
accounts in certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan
exchange limits and Department of Labor Regulations. See plan materials for
further information.
TAXES. Each exchange actually represents the sale of shares from one fund
and the purchase of shares in another fund and, depending upon the tax
basis of the exchanged shares, may result in a loss or taxable gain. The
transfer agent will send a confirmation of each exchange
transaction.
REDEEMING SHARES OF THE FUNDS
Investors may redeem all or a portion of their shares on any day the NYSE
is open, at the NAV next determined after the transfer agent
receives the redemption request. Any redemption orders received by the
transfer agent before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on any business day
will receive that day's NAV.
Once an investor's shares are redeemed, each Fund normally will send the
proceeds on the next business day to the address of record on the account.
If making immediate payment could adversely affect the Fund, the Fund may
take up to seven days to pay redemption proceeds. Each Fund may withhold
redemption proceeds until it is reasonably satisfied that it has collected
investments that were made by check (which may take up to seven days). The
transfer agent requires additional documentation to redeem shares
registered in the name of a corporation, agent or fiduciary or a surviving
joint owner.
When the NYSE is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any reason
other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such action, each
Fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates. FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION ON REDEEMING SHARES, PLEASE CONSULT THE PROGRAM MATERIALS.
TO REDEEM BY MAIL: An investor may redeem by submitting written
instructions with an authorized signature that is on file for that account.
Each Fund reserves the right to require that the signature be guaranteed by
a bank, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal securities
broker, government securities dealer, government securities broker, credit
union (if authorized under state law), national securities exchange,
registered securities association, clearing agency or savings association.
Written requests for redemption should be mailed to:
Fund Name
FIIOC, ZR5
P.O. Box 1182
Boston, MA 02103-1182
An investor may redeem shares of each Fund having a net asset value of
$100,000 or less by calling the transfer agent . Redemption proceeds
must be sent to the address of record listed on the account, and a change
of address must not have occurred within the preceding 60 days.
TO REDEEM BY TELEPHONE: An investor may redeem Fund shares and instruct the
transfer agent to have proceeds wired directly to a designated bank
account. In making redemption requests, the name(s) on the investor's
account registration and the account number must be supplied. To redeem by
telephone, call the transfer agent :
NATIONWIDE (TOLL FREE) (800) 343- 3001
Note that Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from
unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable procedures designed to
verify the identity of the caller. Fidelity will request personalized
security codes for other information, and may also record calls. The
investor should 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.
MINIMUM ACCOUNT BALANCE. Each Fund account must have a balance of $40,000
in it in order to remain open. If the account balance falls below $40,000
due to redemption, the transfer agent may close it and mail the
proceeds to the address shown on the transfer agent 's records. The
transfer agent will give 30 days' notice that an investor's account
will be closed unless an investment is made to increase the account balance
to the $40,000 minimum. Please note that shares will be redeemed at the NAV
on the day the account is closed.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The transfer agent will send a confirmation to the investor after
every transaction that affects the share balance or the account
registration. At least twice a year each investor will receive a financial
statements, with a summary of its portfolio composition and performance. To
reduce expenses, only one copy of most shareholder reports (such as a
Fund's Annual Report) may be mailed to each investor address. Please write
to the transfer agent to have additional reports sent each time.
Each Fund pays for these shareholder services, but not for special services
that are required by a few shareholders, such as a request for a historical
transcript of an account. An investor may be required to pay a fee for
these special services. If an investor is purchasing shares of each Fund
through a program of administrative services offered by an investment
professional, read materials pertaining to that program in conjunction with
this Prospectus. Certain features of each Fund, such as the minimum initial
or subsequent investment, may be modified in these programs, and
administrative charges may be imposed for the services rendered.
TAX INFORMATION
DISTRIBUTIONS. The Funds distribute substantially all of their net
investment income and capital gains each year pursuant to the following
schedule. Each Fund may pay capital gains in December. In addition,
Equity Portfolio Income, Equity Portfolio Growth, Limited Term Bond and
Limited Term Tax-Exempt may pay capital gains in January as well.
Equity Portfolio Growth pay s net investment income in January and
December; Limited Term Bond and Limited Term Tax-Exempt declare dividends
daily and pay monthly; and Equity Portfolio Income declares
dividends in March, June, September, and December, and pay the
following month.
CAPITAL GAINS. An investor may realize a gain or loss when shares are
sold (redeemed) or exchanged. For most types of accounts, a Fund will
report the proceeds of redemptions to the investor and the IRS annually.
However, because the tax treatment also depends on an investor's purchase
price and personal tax position, regular account statements should be
retained for tax purposes.
BUYING A DIVIDEND. On the record date for a distribution from a Fund,
the Fund's share price is reduced by the amount of the distribution. If
shares are bought just before the record date (buying a dividend), an
investor will pay the full offering price for the shares, and then receive
a portion of the price back as a taxable distribution.
FEDERAL TAXES. Distributions from each Fund's income and short-term capital
gains are taxed as dividends, and long-term capital gain distributions are
taxed as long-term capital gains. Gains on the sale of tax-free bonds
results in a taxable distribution. Short-term capital gains and a portion
of the gain on bonds purchased at a discount are taxed as dividends.
Distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether taken in cash or
reinvest ed in additional shares, except that distributions declared
in December and paid in January are taxable as if paid on December 31. Each
Fund will send a tax statement by January 31 showing the tax status of the
distributions received in the past year. A copy will be filed with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) .
Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund may invest in municipal obligations whose
interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals
(AMT bonds ). To the extent that the Fund invests in AMT bonds,
individuals who are subject to the AMT will be required to report a portion
of the Fund's dividends as a "tax-preference item" in determining their
federal tax. Federally tax-free interest earned by the Fund is federally
tax-free when distributed as income dividends. During the most recent
fiscal year ended, 100% of the income dividends for Limited Term Tax-Exempt
Fund were free from federal tax. If the Fund earned taxable income from any
of its investments, it will be distributed as a taxable
dividend. Some of the Funds may be eligible for the dividends-received
deduction for corporations.
If a Fund has paid withholding or other taxes to foreign governments during
the year, the taxes will reduce the Fund's dividends but will be included
in the taxable income reported on your tax statement. An investor may be
able to claim an offsetting tax credit or itemized deduction for foreign
taxes paid by a Fund. A tax statement will show the amount of foreign tax
for which a credit or deduction may be available.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. In addition to federal taxes, an investor
may be subject to state or local taxes on an investment, depending on the
laws in your area. Because some states exempt their own municipal
obligations from tax, an investor will receive tax information each year
showing how Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund allocated its investments by
state.
When an account application is signed, an investor will be asked to certify
that the social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and
that the investor is not subject to 31% backup withholding for
failing to report income to the IRS. If an investor violates IRS
regulations, the IRS can require a Fund to withhold 31% of taxable
distributions and redemptions.
INVESTMENT POLICIES
Further information relating to the types of securities in which each Fund
may invest and the investment policies of each Fund in general are set
forth in the Appendix to this Prospectus and in each Fund's SAI .
FMR will use its extensive research facilities in addition to
considering the ratings of Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating
Organizations (NRSROs) in selecting investments for the Funds. Unrated
securities are not necessarily of lower quality than rated securities, but
they may not be attractive to as many buyers. This credit analysis includes
consideration of the economic feasibility of revenue bond project finances
and general purpose borrowings, the financial condition of the issuer with
respect to liquidity, cash flow and ability to meet anticipated debt
service requirements and political developments that may affect credit
quality. Since the risk of default is higher for lower-quality obligations,
FMR's research and analysis are an integral part of choosing the Fund's
securities. Through portfolio diversification and careful credit analysis,
FMR can reduce risk, although there can be no assurance that losses will
not occur. FMR also considers trends in the economy, in geographic areas,
in various industries, and in the financial markets.
EQUITY FUNDS: Equity F unds invest in common stocks and other
equity securities in search of growth or a combination of growth
and income . Their performance depends heavily on stock market
conditions in the U.S. and abroad, and can also be affected by changes in
interest rates or other economic conditions. Investments in equity funds
are more suitable for investors who take a long-term approach to
investing.
EQUITY PORTFOLIO INCOME:
It is the policy of the Fund that at least 65% of its total assets normally
will be invested in income-producing equity securities. For purposes of
this policy, equity securities are defined as common stocks and preferred
stocks.
The balance of the Fund will tend to be invested in debt obligations, a
high percentage of which are expected to be convertible into common stocks.
As a non-fundamental policy the Fund may invest in lower-quality ,
high-yielding debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds")
although it currently intends to limit its investments in these securities
to 35% of its assets. However, the Fund does not intend to invest in
securities of companies without proven earnings and/or credit histories.
The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures and options to manage
cash flow and to attempt to remain fully invested instead of, or in
addition to, buying and selling stocks. Additionally, the Fund may purchase
or engage in foreign investments, indexed securities, illiquid
investments, loans and other direct debt instruments, repurchase agreements
and securities loans, restricted securities, short sales, swap agreements,
and warrants.
Because of the income considerations, investors should not expect capital
appreciation comparable to the appreciation which could be achieved by
funds whose primary objective is capital appreciation. The Fund seeks a
yield from dividend and interest income exceeding that of the composite
dividend yield on securities comprising the S&P 500. While the
investment portfolio will not mirror the stocks in the S&P 500 (such a
fund is commonly referred to as an index fund), the yield on the overall
investment portfolio generally will increase or decrease from year to year
in accordance with market conditions and in relation to the changes in
yields of the stocks included in the S&P 500.
The Fund may make temporary investments in securities such as
investment-grade bonds or short-term notes for defensive purposes.
EQUITY PORTFOLIO GROWTH:
As a general rule, the Fund will invest in the securities of companies
whose growth in the areas of earnings or gross sales measured either in
dollars or in unit volume (either on an absolute or percentage basis) may
exceed that of the average of the companies whose securities are included
in the S&P 500. These securities generally command high multiples
(price/earnings ratios) in the stock markets over time. Above average
growth characteristics are most often associated with companies in new and
emerging areas of the economy but occasionally can be found in the stronger
companies of more mature and even declining industries. The Fund will,
therefore, be invested in the securities of smaller, less well-known
companies except when FMR believes that opportunities for above-average
growth are presented by larger, more mature companies which have undergone
reformation and revitalization or possess a strong position in relation to
the market as a whole.
The market price of securities with above average growth characteristics
often can experience a more sudden and more dramatic downward reaction to
negative news than is the case with securities carrying a lower market
multiple. This can be particularly true for companies with a narrow product
line or whose securities are relatively thinly-traded, characteristics
which are common to smaller, less well-known companies.
As a non-fundamental policy, at least 65% of the total assets of the
Fund normally will be invested in common and preferred stock. As a
non-fundamental policy, the fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets
in debt obligations of all types and quality, a high percentage of which
are expected to be convertible into common stocks. The Fund may invest in
lower-quality, high yielding debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk
bonds"), although as a non-fundamental policy, it intends to limit its
investments in these securities to 35% of its assets. The Fund also may
purchase or engage in foreign investments, indexed securities, illiquid
investments, loans and other direct debt instruments, options and futures
contracts, repurchase agreements and securities loans, restricted
securities, swap agreements, and warrants.
FIXED-INCOME FUNDS : Fixed Income Funds invest primarily in debt
securities (e.g., bonds, debentures, notes and similar obligations).
The share value of fixed-income funds tends to move inversely
with changes in prevailing interest rates. Shorter-term bonds are less
sensitive to interest rate changes, but longer-term bonds generally offer
higher yields. It also is important to note that high-yielding,
lower - quality bonds involve greater risks, because there is a
greater possibility of a financial reversal affecting the issuer's ability
to pay interest and principal on time. Share value and yield are not
guaranteed and will fluctuate based on the credit quality and changes in
interest rates.
LIMITED TERM BOND FUND:
The Fund seeks to provide a high rate of income through investment s
in high- and upper-medium grade fixed-income obligations, as follows:
(I) Corporate obligations which are rated AAA, AA, or A by S&P,
or Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's;
(II) Obligations issued or guaranteed as to interest and principal
by the government of the U.S. , or any agency or instrumentality
thereof;
(III) Obligations (including certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances) of U.S. banks which at the date of investment have capital
gains, surplus, and undivided profits (as of the date of their most
recently published annual financial statements) in excess of $100,000,000;
(IV) Commercial paper which at the date of investment is rated A-1
or A-2 by S&P or Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's or, if not rated, is
issued by companies which at the date of investment have an outstanding
debt issue rated AAA, AA, or A by S&P or Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's; and
(V) Such other fixed-income instruments as the Board of Trustees, in
its judgment, deems to be of comparable quality to those enumerated above.
Instruments in which the Fund may invest include asset-backed
securities , collateralized mortgage obligations, convertible
securities, loans and other direct debt instruments, mortgage backed
securities and zero coupon securities.
FMR's standards for determining high- and upper-medium grades are
essentially the same as those described by S&P and Moody's as
characteristic of their ratings of A and above. Such instruments have
strong protection of principal and interest payments. In addition to
reliance on S&P's or Moody's ratings, FMR also performs its own credit
analysis. The Fund also may invest in unrated instruments, and may at times
purchase instruments rated below A if FMR judges them to be of comparable
quality to those rated A or better. Currently, the Fund does not intend to
invest in debt obligations rated below BBB. Investment-grade bonds are
generally of medium to high quality. Those rated in the lower end of the
category (Baa/BBB), however, may possess speculative characteristics and
may be more sensitive to economic changes and changes in the financial
condition of issue r s.
In addition, the Fund may seek capital appreciation when consistent with
its primary objective. In seeking capital appreciation, FMR will select
securities for the Fund based on its judgment as to economic and market
conditions and the prospects for interest rate changes.
The Fund may purchase or engage in foreign investments, indexed
securities, illiquid investments, loans and other direct debt instruments,
optional and futures contracts, repurchase agreements and securities loans,
restricted securities, and swap agreements. The Fund also may engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for temporary or emergency purposes and not
for investment purposes.
The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 10 years or
less, defined herein as "limited term." As of November 30, 1993 the average
maturity was 8.12 years. Based on FMR's assessment of interest rate
trends, generally, the average maturity will be shortened when interest
rates are expected to rise and lengthened up to 10 years when interest
rates are expected to decline.
MUNICIPAL/TAX-EXEMPT FUNDS: Tax-Exempt funds invest primarily in
municipal securities which are issued by state and local governments and
their agencies to raise money for various public purposes, including
general purpose financing for state and local governments as well as
financing for specific projects or public facilities. Municipal securities
may be backed by the full taxing power of a municipality or by the revenues
from a specific project or the credit of a private organization. Some
municipal securities are insured by private insurance companies, while
others may be supported by letters of credit furnished by domestic or
foreign banks. FMR monitors the financial condition of parties (including
insurance companies, banks, and corporations) whose creditworthiness is
relied upon in determining the credit quality of securities the Funds may
purchase.
Yields on municipal bonds, and therefore the yield of Limited Term
Tax-Exempt depends on factors such as general market conditions, interest
rates, the size of a particular offering, the maturities of the obligations
and the quality of the issues. The ability of the Fund to achieve its
investment objective is also dependent on the continuing ability of the
issuers of the municipal obligations in which the Fund invests to meet its
obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due.
Bonds generally are considered to be interest rate sensitive, which
means that their values move inversely to interest rates. Long-term
municipals generally are more exposed to market fluctuations resulting from
changes in interest rates than are short-term municipals.
The Fund's investments in municipal securities may include fixed,
variable, or floating rate general obligations and revenues bonds
(including municipal lease obligations and resource recovery bonds); zero
coupon and asset-backed securities; inverse floaters; tax, revenue, or bond
anticipation notes; and tax-exempt commercial paper. The Fund may buy or
sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis (including
refunding contracts), and may purchase restricted securities. The Funds may
also buy and sell options and futures contracts.
LIMITED TERM TAX-EXEMPT FUND:
The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified
portfolio of municipal obligations whose interest payments are exempt from
federal income tax. These obligations, including industrial development
revenue bonds, are issued by or on behalf of states, territories, and
possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their
political subdivisions, agencies, and instrumentalities.
The Fund will invest in municipal obligations which, in the judgment of
FMR, are "high quality" or at least "upper-medium quality." The Fund's
standards for "high quality" and "upper-medium quality" obligations are
essentially the same as those described by Moody's in rating municipal
obligations within its three highest ratings of Aaa, Aa, and A and as those
described by S&P in rating such obligations within its three highest
ratings of AAA, AA and A. As a non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not
purchase a security rated by Moody's or S&P unless it has received at
least an A rating from either rating service.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in municipal obligations
which are unrated by Moody's or S&P if, in the judgment of FMR, such
municipal obligations meet the standards of quality as set forth above.
Unrated bonds are not necessarily of lower quality and may have higher
yields than rated bonds, but the market for rated bonds is usually broader.
The Fund may engage in delayed delivery transactions and may purchase
restricted securities. The Fund also may purchase and sell futures
contracts and may purchase and write put and call options. The Fund may use
futures contracts and options to hedge a portion of its investments against
changes in value, or as an alternative to purchasing or selling actual
securities.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a single issuer's
securities. The Fund may invest any portion of its assets in industrial
revenue bonds (IRBs) backed by private issuers, and may invest up to 25% of
its total assets in IRBs related to a single industry. The Fund may also
invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities whose revenue sources
are from similar types of projects, e.g., education, electric utilities,
health care, housing, transportation, or water, sewer, and gas utilities
or whose issuers share the same geographic location . There may be
economic, business or political developments or changes that affect all
securities of a similar type. Therefore, developments affecting a single
issuer or industry, or securities financing similar types of projects,
could have a significant effect on the Fund's performance.
The Fund currently does not intend to invest in taxable obligations;
however, consistent with that portion of its investment objective concerned
with the preservation of capital, from time to time the Fund may invest a
portion (normally not to exceed 20%) of its net assets on a temporary basis
in fixed-income obligations whose interest is subject to federal income
tax. These taxable obligations may include repurchase agreements. The Fund
does not currently invest in AMT bonds.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Fund has adopted the following investment limitations designed to
reduce investment risk. The policies and limitations discussed below, and
in the Appendix beginning on page , are considered at the time of purchase.
With the exception of each Fund's borrowing policy, the sale of portfolio
securities is not required in the event of a subsequent change in
circumstances.
DIVERSIFICATION: These limitations do not apply to U.S. government
securities and are fundamental.
(bullet) Equity Portfolio Growth may not purchase a security if, as a
result, more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in the
securities of any issuer.
(bullet) With respect to 75% of its total assets each other
Fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than 5% of its
total assets would be invested in the securities of any issuer.
(bullet) Limited Term Tax-Exempt may not purchase the securities of any
issuer if, as a result, more than 25% of its total assets would be in
industrial revenue bonds whose issuers are in any one industry.
(bullet) Each Fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, it
would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer
(except that Equity Portfolio Income, may invest up to 25% of it s
total assets without regard to this limitation).
(bullet) E ach other Fund may not purchase the securities of
any issuer if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund's total assets would
be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business
activities in the same industry.
BORROWING: The following limitation are fundamental.
(bullet) Each Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency
purposes in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of its total
assets.
(bullet) Limited Term Bond and Limited Term Tax-Exempt may not purchase
any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its total assets
are outstanding.
The following limitations are non-fundamental.
(bullet) Equity Portfolio Income and Equity Portfolio Growth may
not purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding.
(bullet) Each Fund may borrow money from banks or from other
funds advised by FMR or by engaging in reverse repurchase
agreements.
LENDING: Percentage limitations are fundamental.
(bullet) Limited Term Tax-Exempt does not currently intend to
engage in repurchase agreemtns or make loans (but this limitation
does not apply to purchases of debt securities).
(bullet) Each other Fund (a) may lend securities when the loan is fully
collateralized; and (b) may lend money to other funds advised by FMR or an
affiliate. Each Fund will limit loans in the aggregate to 33 1/3% of its
total assets.
Each Fund h as received permission from the SEC to lend money to and
borrow money from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates.
Limited Term Tax-Exempt will participate only as a borrower. If a
Fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation
until the borrowing is paid off. To this extent, purchasing securities when
borrowings are outstanding may involve an element of leverage.
As a non-fundamental policy, each Fund may not purchase a security if as
a result more than 10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid
investments.
FEES AND EXPENSES
MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES. For managing its investments and business
affairs, each Fund pays a monthly fee to FMR.
Each Fund (with the exception of Equity Portfolio Income, see below)
pay s a monthly fee to FMR based on a basic fee rate, which is the
sum of two components:
1. A group fee rate based on the monthly average net assets of all of the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate for Equity Funds cannot rise above
.52% and it drops (to as low as a marginal rate of .31%*) as total assets
in all of these funds rise. The effective Equity Fund group fee rate for
November 1993 was .3250 %. The group fee rate for Fixed-Income Funds
cannot rise above .37% and it drops (to as low as a marginal rate of .15%*)
as total assets in all of these funds rise. The effective Fixed-Income
group fee rate for November 1993 was .1627 %.
2. An individual fund fee rate, which varies for each Fund.
* FMR VOLUNTARILY AGREED TO ADOPT REVISED GROUP FEE RATE SCHEDULES WHICH
PROVIDE FOR A MARGINAL RATE AS LOW AS .285% ( E QUITY FUNDS)
AND .1325% ( F IXED- I NCOME FUNDS) WHEN AVERAGE GROUP
NET ASSETS EXCEED $336 BILLION. A NEW MANAGEMENT CONTRACT WITH A REVISED
GROUP FEE RATE SCHEDULE WILL BE PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL AT EACH FUND'S NEXT
SHAREHOLDER MEETING.
One-twelfth of the annual management fee rate is applied to each Fund's net
assets averaged over the most recent month, giving a dollar amount which is
the management fee for that month.
Equity Portfolio Income pays FMR a monthly management fee of an annual rate
of .50% of its average net assets.
The following are the individual fund fee rates and total management fees
for each Fund s most recent fiscal year end .

</TABLE>

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a Fund for expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets. FMR retains
the ability to be repaid by a Fund for these expense reimbursements in the
amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal
year. Fee reimbursements by FMR will increase a Fund's yield and total
return, and repayment by a Fund will lower its yield and total
return. FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses of Limited Term
Tax-Exempt to the extent that expenses exceed .65% of the average net
assets.
FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements on behalf of Equity
Portfolio Income, and Equity Portfolio Growth. Sub-advisors provide
research and investment advice and research services with respect to
companies based outside the United States and may grant sub-advisors
investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell
securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to a Fund.
Equity Portfolio Income and Equity Portfolio Growth have entered into
sub-advisory agreements with Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc.
(FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far
East). FMR U.K. focuses primarily on companies based in Europe, and FMR Far
East focuses primarily on companies based in Asia and the Pacific Basin.
Under the sub-advisory agreements, FMR, and not the Fund, pays FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of each
sub-advisor's costs incurred in connection with its sub-advisory agreement.

Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company (the " transfer
agent "), an affiliate of FMR, 82 Devonshire Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109, is each Fund's transfer and dividend paying
agent (with the exception of Limited Term Tax-Exempt, see below) .
Each Fund pays the transfer agent fees based on the type, size and
number of accounts in a Fund and the number of monetary transactions made
by shareholders. For the most recent fiscal year, the fee for
transfer agency services amounted to $ 239,364 (Equity Portfolio
Income) , $ 324,822 (Equity Portfolio Growth), $ 180,350
(Limited Term Bond) and $11,310 (Limited Term Tax-Exempt) ,
respectively.
Fidelity Service Co. (Service), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02109, an affiliate of FMR, calculates each Fund's daily share price
and maintains its general accounting records (with the exception of
Limited Term Tax-Exempt, see below). For those Funds which can engage in
securities lending, Service also administers its securities lending
program. The fees for pricing and bookkeeping services are based on a
Fund's average net assets, but must fall within a range of $45,000 to
$750,000 per year. For the most recent fiscal year ended, each Fund's fees
for pricing and bookkeeping services (including related out-of-pocket
expenses) amounted to: $ 113,026 (Equity Portfolio Income);
$ 234,813 (Equity Portfolio Growth) and $ 81,106 (Limited Term
Bond).
United Missouri Bank, N.A. (United Missouri), 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas
City, Missouri 64106, acts as the custodian, transfer and pricing and
bookkeeping agent for Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund. United Missouri has a
sub-arrangement with the transfer agent for transfer agent services
and a sub-arrangement with Service for pricing and bookkeeping services.
For the most recent fiscal year ended, fees paid to the transfer
agent and Service (including related out-of-pocket expenses) amounted
to $ 11,310 and $ 45,724 , respectively. All of the fees are
paid to the transfer agent and Service by United Missouri, which is
reimbursed by the Fund for such payments.
Each Fund's operating expenses include custodial, legal and accounting
fees, charges to register a Trust or Fund with federal and state regulatory
authorities and other miscellaneous expenses. Each Fund's total operating
expenses after reimbursement, if any, as a percent of average net assets,
for the most recent fiscal year ended were as follows: .79 % (Equity
Portfolio Income); .94 % (Equity Portfolio Growth); .64 %
(Limited Term Bond); .65 % (Limited Term Tax-Exempt). If FMR had not
reimbursed Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund, total operating expenses for the
most recent fiscal year ended would have been .83 %.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. The Board of Trustees of each Fund
have adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the
Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under 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 intended primarily
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 each Fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be
considered to constitute direct or indirect payment by each Fund of
distribution expenses. No separate payments by each Fund are authorized
under the Plan. Rather, the Plan recognizes that FMR may use its management
fee and other resources to pay expenses associated with activities
primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares. It also provides
that FMR may make payments from these sources to securities dealers and
banks having agreements with Distributors (investment professionals) that
provide shareholder support services or engage in the sale of Fund shares.
The Board of Trustees has not authorized such payments.
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 fully defined, in Distributors' opinion it
should not prohibit banks from being paid for shareholder servicing and
recordkeeping. If, because of changes in law or regulation, or because of
new interpretations of existing law, a bank or a Fund were prevented from
continuing these arrangements, it is expected that the Board would make
other arrangements for these services and that shareholders would not
suffer adverse financial consequences. 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.
FUND SHARES VALUATION
A Fund's shares are valued at net asset value (NAV). NAV is determined for
shares of each Fund by adding the value of all security holdings and other
assets of the Fund, deducting liabilities allocated to each class (when
appropriate), and then dividing the result by the proportional number of
shares of the Fund outstanding in a class.
NAV normally is calculated as of the close of business of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Funds are open for business and NAV
is calculated each day the NYSE is open for trading. Fund securities and
other assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations
furnished by pricing services, or if quotations are not available, by a
method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the primary market
in which they are traded and are converted from the local currency into
U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.
FUND PERFORMANCE
Each Fund's performance may be quoted in advertising in terms of total
return. All performance information is historical and is not intended to
indicate future performance. Share price and total return fluctuate
in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value of a
Fund's shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original
cost. TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in a
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.
The Funds also may quote performance in terms of yield. YIELD
refers to the income generated by an investment in a 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. Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund may quote a TAX-EQUIVALENT
YIELD, which show s the taxable yield a n investor would have
to earn after taxes to equal the Fund's tax free yield. A
TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD is calculated by dividing a Fund's yield by the
result of one minus a stated federal tax rate. Because yield calculations
differ from other accounting methods, the quoted yield may not equal the
income actually paid to shareholders. This difference may be significant
for funds whose investments are denominated in foreign currencies. In
calculating yield, the Funds 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 a Fund's yield . Fixed Income Funds, including Tax-Exempt
Funds, may also quote distribution rate, which reflects the Fund's income
dividends to its shareholders, divided by the Fund's offering price for
each day in a given period. Other illustrations of performance may show
moving averages over specified periods.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
FMR uses various brokerage firms to carry out each Fund's equity security
transactions. Fixed-income securities are generally traded in the
over-the-counter market through broker-dealers. A broker-dealer is a
securities firm or bank which makes a market for securities by offering to
buy at one price and sell at a slightly higher price. The difference is
known as a spread. Foreign securities are normally traded in foreign
countries since the best available market for foreign securities is often
on foreign markets. In transactions on foreign stock exchanges, except in
Canada, brokers' commissions are generally fixed and are often higher than
in the United States, where commissions are negotiated. Since FMR ,
directly or through affiliated subadvisers, places a large number
of transactions, including those of Fidelity's other F unds ,
the Funds pay lower commissions than those paid by individual investors,
and broker-dealers are willing to work with the Funds on a more favorable
spread.
The Funds have authorized FMR to allocate transactions to some
broker-dealers who help distribute the Fund's shares or the shares of
Fidelity's other funds to the extent permitted by law, and on an agency
basis , to Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI) and Fidelity
Brokerage Services Ltd. (FBSL), affiliates of FMR. FMR will make such
allocations if commissions are comparable to those charged by
non-affiliated qualified broker-dealers for similar services.
FMR may also allocate brokerage transactions to a Fund's custodian,
acting as a broker-dealer, or other broker-dealers, so long as transaction
quality and commission rates are comparable to th ose of other
broker-dealers, where the broker-dealer s will allocate a
portion of the commissions paid toward payment of a Fund's expenses. These
expenses currently include transfer agent and custodian fees.
Higher commissions may be paid to those firms that provide research,
valuation and other services to the extent permitted by law. FMR also is
authorized to allocate brokerage transactions to FBSI in order to secure
from FBSI research services produced by third party, independent entities.
FMR may use this research information in managing each Fund's assets, as
well as assets of other clients.
When consistent with its investment objective, each Fixed-Income Fund may
engage in short-term trading. Also, a security may be sold and another of
comparable quality simultaneously purchased to take advantage of what FMR
believes to be a temporary disparity in the normal yield relationship of
the two securities.
The frequency of portfolio transactions - the turnover rate - will vary
from year to year depending on market conditions. Each Fund's turnover rate
for the most recent fiscal year ended was: 120 % ( Equity Portfolio
Income); 160 % (Equity Portfolio Growth); 59 % (Limited Term
Bond); and 46 % (Limited Term Tax-Exempt) . Because a high
turnover rate increases transaction costs and may increase taxable capital
gains, FMR carefully weighs the anticipated benefits of short-term
investing against these consequences.
THE TRUSTS AND THE FIDELITY ORGANIZATION
Each Trust is an open-end diversified management investment company. Each
Trust was established by a separate Declaration of Trust as Massachusetts
business trusts on each date as follows: June 24, 1983, Fidelity Advisor
Series I; May 17, 1982, Fidelity Advisor Series III; May 6, 1983, Fidelity
Advisor Series IV; June 1, 1983, Fidelity Advisor Series VI. Each above
Trust amended its Declaration of Trust on May 5, 1993. Each Trust has its
own Board of Trustees that supervises Fund activities and reviews the
Fund's contractual arrangements with companies that provide the Funds with
services. As Massachusetts business trusts, the Funds are not required to
hold annual shareholder meetings, although special meetings may be called
for a class of shares, a Fund or a Trust as a whole for purposes such as
electing or removing Trustees, changing fundamental investment policies or
limitations or approving a management contract or plan of distribution.
Shareholders receive one vote for each share and fractional votes for
fractional shares of the Fund. For shareholders of Equity Portfolio
Income, the number of votes you are entitled to is based upon the dollar
value of your investment. Separate votes are taken by each class of
shares, or each Fund if a matter affects just that class of shares or Fund,
respectively. There is a remote possibility that one Fund might become
liable for any misstatement in the Prospectus about another Fund. Each
class of shares is offered by separate prospectus.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Income, Fidelity Advisor Equity
Portfolio Growth, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond and Fidelity Advisor
Limited Term Tax-Exempt are comp o sed of two classes of shares,
one sold to retail shareholders investing through an investment
professional ("retail class") and the other sold to institutional
shareholders. Both classes of shares of a Fund share a common investment
objective and investment portfolio. Retail class shares are offered to
investors who engage an investment professional for investment advice, with
a maximum 4.75% sales charge (a portion of which is paid to the investment
professional). The initial and subsequent investment minimums for retail
class shares are $2,500 and $250, respectively. The minimum account balance
for retail class investors is $1,000. Reduced sales charges are applicable
to purchases of $50,000 or more of retail class shares of the Fund alone or
in combination with purchases of shares of certain other Fidelity Advisor
Funds. Retail class investors also may qualify for a reduction in sales
charge under the Rights of Accumulation or Letter of Intent programs. Sales
charges are waived for certain groups of investors. In addition, retail
class investors may participate in various investment programs.
Retail class investors may elect the Directed Dividends Option for
distributions from a Fund. Retail class shares of each Fund may be
exchanged for shares of certain other Fidelity Advisor Funds. Retail class
also offers a Systematic Exchange Plan for automatic periodic exchanges.
Retail class shares offer a Reinstatement Privilege and a Systematic
Withdrawal Plan. Transfer and shareholder servicing for retail class shares
of Equity Portfolio Income, Equity Portfolio Growth, and Limited Term
Bond is performed by State Street Bank and Trust Company and through a
sub-contractual arrangement with United Missouri for retail class shares
of Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund. For the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1993, total operating expenses for the retail class shares
of Equity Portfolio Income (after reimbursement), Equity
Portfolio Growth , Limited Term Bond, and Limited Term Tax-Exempt
were 1.77 %, 1.84 %, 1.23 %, and .90 % ,
respectively , of average net assets. Because it has higher total
expenses, retail class will generally have a lower return than
institutional class.
Under their Distribution and Service Plans, the retail class shares of
Equity Portfolio Income and Equity Portfolio Growth each pay .65% (the
Board can approve a maximum rate of .75%); Limited Term Bond and Limited
Term Tax-Exempt each pay .25% (the Board can approve a maximum rate of
.40%). All or a portion of the distribution fee is paid to investment
professionals that provide shareholder support services or sell retail
class shares. (Investment professionals do not receive any compensation for
selling, or providing shareholder support services to the holders of
non-retail fund shares.)
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the U.S. and has its principal business address at 82
Devonshire Street, Boston, MA 02109. It includes a number of different

APPENDIX
The following paragraphs provide a brief description of securities in which
the Funds may invest and transactions they may make. Consistent with its
investment objective and policies, each Fund may invest in or engage in one
or more of the following securities transactions. However, the Funds are
not limited by this discussion and may invest in or engage one or more of
the following securities or transactions. However, the Funds are not
limited by this discussion and may purchase other types of securities and
enter into other types of transactions if they are consistent with a Fund's
investment objective and policies.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS Securities may be bought and sold on a
when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, with payment and delivery taking
place at a future date. The market value of securities purchased in this
way may change before the delivery date which could increase fluctuations
in a Fund's share price and yield. Ordinarily, a Fund will not earn
interest on securities purchased until they are delivered.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS which involve additional risks. Foreign
securities and securities denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies
may be affected by the strength of foreign currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar, or by political or economic developments in foreign countries.
Foreign companies may not be subject to accounting standards or
governmental supervision comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be
less public information about their operations. In addition, foreign
markets may be less liquid or more volatile than U.S. markets, and may
offer less protection to investors such as a Fund . These risks are
typically greater for investments in less developed countries whose
governments and financial markets may be more susceptible to adverse
political and economic developments. FMR considers these factors in making
investments for a Fund.
A Fund may enter into currency exchange contracts (agreements
to exchange one currency for another at a future date) to manage currency
risks and to facilitate transactions in foreign securities. Although
currency forward contracts can be used to protect the Fund from adverse
exchange rate changes, they involve a risk of loss if FMR fails to predict
foreign currency values correctly.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR
determines the liquidity of each Fund's investments. The absence of a
trading market can make it difficult to ascertain a market value for
illiquid investments. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve
time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or
impossible for a Fund to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.
INDEXED SECURITIES. I ndexed securities value s are
linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, or other
financial indicators. Most indexed securities are short to intermediate
term fixed-income securities whose values at maturity or interest rates
rise or fall according to the change in one or more specified underlying
instruments. Indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed
(i.e., their value may increase or decrease if the underlying instrument
appreciates), and may have return characteristics similar to direct
investments in the underlying instrument or to one or more options on the
underlying instrument. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the
underlying instrument itself.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM Interfund loans and borrowings normally
will extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. A
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. Each Fund
will not lend more than 5% ( Equity Funds) or 7.5% (Fixed-Income
Funds ) of its assets to other funds, and will not borrow through the
program if, after doing so, total outstanding borrowings would exceed 15%
of total assets. Loans may be called on one day's notice, and a 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 cost s.

LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS are interests in amounts
owed by a corporate, governmental or other borrower to another party. They
may represent amounts owed 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 involve the risk
of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may
offer less legal protection to the Fund in the event of fraud or
misrepresentation . In addition, loan participations involve a risk
of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Direct
debt instruments may also include standby financing commitments that
obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES are those rated Ba or lower by Moody's
or BB or lower by S&P that have poor protection against default
in the payment of principal and interest or may be in default. These
securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk
of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay.
The market prices of lower-rated debt securities may fluctuate more than
those of higher-rated debt securities, and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising
interest rates. See "Debt Obligations" on page .
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES are 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 each Fund may invest in them if FMR determines they are consistent with
a 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
risk. 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.
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.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of consumer
loans (generally unrelated to mortgage loans) and most often are structured
as pass-through securities. Interest and principal payments ultimately
depend on payment of the underlying loans by individuals, although the
securities may be supported by letters of credit or other credit
enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also depend on the
creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator
of the loans, or the financial institution providing the credit
enhancement.
A Fund may purchase units of beneficial interest in pools of
purchase contracts, financing leases, and sales agreements entered into by
municipalities. These municipal obligations may be created when a
municipality enters into an installment purchase contract or lease with a
vendor and may be secured by the assets purchased or leased by the
municipality. However, except in very limited circumstances, there will be
no recourse against the vendor if the municipality stops making payments.
The market for tax-exempt asset-backed securities is still relatively new.
These obligations are likely to involve unscheduled prepayments of
principal.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS are bought and sold to manage a
Fund's exposure to changing interest rates, security prices, and
currency exchange rates. Some options and futures strategies, including
selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls, tend to hedge a Fund's
investment against price fluctuations. Other strategies, including buying
futures, writing puts, and buying calls, tend to increase market exposure.
Options and futures may be combined with each other or with forward
contracts in order to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall strategy. A Fund may invest in options and futures based on
any type of security, index, or currency, including options and futures
traded on foreign exchanges and options not traded on exchanges.
Options and futures can be volatile investments, and involve certain risks.
If FMR applies a hedge at an inappropriate time or judges market conditions
incorrectly, options and futures strategies may lower a Fund's return. A
Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its options and futures
positions were poorly correlated with its other investments, or if it could
not close out its positions because of an illiquid secondary market.
Options and futures do not pay interest, but may produce taxable capital
gains.
Each Fund will not hedge more than 25% of its total assets by selling
futures, buying puts, and writing calls under normal conditions. In
addition each Fund will not buy futures or write puts whose underlying
value exceeds 25% of its total assets, and will not buy calls with a value
exceeding 5% of its total assets.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND SECURITIES LOANS. In a repurchase agreement, a
Fund buys a security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back
at a higher price. A Fund may also make securities loans to broker-dealers
and institutional investors, including FBSI. In the event of the bankruptcy
of the other party to either a repurchase agreement or a securities loan, a
Fund could experience delays in recovering its cash or the securities it
lent. To the extent that, in the meantime, the value of the securities
purchased had decreased or the value of the securities lent had increased,
a Fund could experience a loss. In all cases, FMR must find the
creditworthiness of the other party to the transaction satisfactory.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES are securities which cannot be sold to the
public without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 . Unless
registered for sale, these securities can only be sold in privately
negotiated transactions or pursuant to an exemption from registration.
SHORT SALES. If a Fund enter s into short sales with respect
to stocks underlying its convertible security holdings , t hese
transactions may help to hedge against the effect of stock price declines,
but may result in losses if a convertible security's price does not track
the price of its underlying equity . Under normal conditions,
c onvertible securities hedged with short sales are not currently
expected to exceed 15% of a Fund's total assets.
SWAP AGREEMENTS. As one way of managing its exposure to different
types of investments, a Fund may enter into interest rate
swaps, currency swaps, and other types of swap agreements such as caps,
collars, and floors. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to
make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate times a "notional
principal amount," in return for payments equal to a fixed rate times the
same amount, for a specified period of time. If a swap agreement provides
for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange
the notional principal amount as well. Swaps may also depend on other
prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment
rates.
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 a Fund's investment exposure from one
type of investment to another. For example, if a 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 a Fund's investments and its share price and yield.
Swap agreements are sophisticated hedging instruments that typically
involve a small investment of cash relative to the magnitude of risks
assumed. As a result, swaps can be highly volatile and may have a
considerable impact on a Fund's performance. Swap agreements are subject to
risks related to the counterparty's ability to perform, and may decline in
value if the counterparty's creditworthiness deteriorates. A Fund may also
suffer losses if it is unable to terminate outstanding swap agreements or
reduce its exposure through offsetting transactions.
VARIABLE OR FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS, including certain participation
interests in municipal obligations, have interest rate adjustment formulas
that help to stabilize their market values. Many variable and floating rate
instruments also carry demand features that permit the fund to sell
them at par value plus accrued interest on short notice.
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, a 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 (REFCORP) and the Financing Corporation (FICO) can also be
separated in this fashion. Original issue zeros are zero coupon securities
originally issued by the U.S. government or a government agency.
DEBT OBLIGATIONS. The table below provides a summary of ratings assigned to
debt holdings (not including money market instruments) of Funds
which have the ability to invest over 5% in lower-rated debt

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES MUNICIPAL INSTRUMENTS:
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES include GENERAL OBLIGATION SECURITIES , which
are backed by the full taxing power of a municipality, and revenue
securities, which are backed by the revenues of a specific tax, project, or
facility. INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS are a type of revenue bond backed by the
credit and security of a private issuer and may involve greater risk.
PRIVATE ACTIVITY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES, which may be subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax, include securities issued to finance housing
projects, student loans, and privately - owned solid waste disposal
and water and sewage treatment facilities.
TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES are issued by municipalities in
expectation of future tax or other revenues, and are payable from those
specific taxes or revenues. BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES normally provide
interim financing in advance of an issue of bonds or notes, the proceeds of
which are used to repay the anticipation notes. TAX-EXEMPT COMMERCIAL PAPER
is issued by municipalities to help finance short-term capital or operating
needs.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are issued by a state or local government or
authority to acquire land and a wide variety of equipment and facilities.
These obligations typically are not fully backed by the municipality's
credit, and their interest may become taxable if the lease is assigned. If
funds are not appropriated for the following year's lease payments, the
lease may terminate, with the possibility of significant loss to the Fund.
CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION in municipal lease obligations or
installment sales contracts entitle the holder to a proportionate interest
in the lease-purchase payments made.
RESOURCE RECOVERY BONDS are a type of revenue bond issued to build
facilities such as solid waste incinerators or waste-to-energy plants.
Typically, a private corporation will be involved, at least during the
construction phase, and the revenue stream will be secured by fees or rents
paid by municipalities for use of the facilities. The viability of a
resource recovery project, environmental protection regulations, and
project operator tax incentives may affect the value and credit quality of
resource recovery bonds.
A DEMAND FEATURE is a put that entitles the security holder to
repayment of the principal amount of the underlying security, upon notice,
at any time or at specified intervals. A standby commitment is a put that
entitles the security holder to same-day settlement at amortized cost plus
accrued interest.
Issuers or financial intermediaries who provide demand features or standby
commitments often support their ability to buy securities on demand by
obtaining letters of credit (LOCs) or other guarantees from domestic or
foreign banks. LOCs also may be used as credit supports for other types of
municipal instruments. FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit
in determining whether to purchase an instrument supported by an LOC. In
evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate
public information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be
subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency
controls, or other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's
ability to honor its credit commitment.
INVERSE FLOATERS are instruments whose interest rates bear an
inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value
of an index. Changes in the interest rate on the other security or index
inversely affect the residual interest rate paid on the inverse floater,
with the result that the inverse floater's price will be considerably more
volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond. For example, a municipal issuer
may decide to issue two variable rate instruments instead of a single
long-term, fixed-rate bond. The interest rate on one instrument reflects
short-term interest rates, while the interest rate on the other instrument
(the inverse floater) reflects the approximate rate the issuer would have
paid on a fixed-rate bond, multiplied by two, minus the interest rate paid
on the short-term instrument. Depending on market availability, the two
portions may be recombined to form a fixed-rate municipal bond. The market
for inverse floaters is relatively new.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS A Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and the Fund
to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a
settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future.

TREASURY BELOW 6% IN EARLY SEPTEMBER; MEANWHILE, THE DOW CLOSED ABOVE 3700
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MID-NOVEMBER, AND FINISHED THE MONTH AT 3684.
Q. BETTINA, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. The fund delivered a total return of 18.90% during the 12
months ended November 30, 1993. That beat the 13.66% average total return
for the equity income funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, and a
10.10% total return for the Standard and Poor's 500-stock index.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE AVERAGE?
A. One of the biggest factors was the decision early in 1993 to avoid
buying stocks of health-care companies or firms that manufacture consumer
non-
durable goods such as tobacco and food. Those stocks were terrible
investments for much of the year, and by staying clear of them the fund
picked up a lot of ground. Beyond that, the fund had more than 50% of its
investments in sectors that benefited from the economy's growing strength.
Among them were banks and other financial services companies such as
Citicorp, Household International and Wells Fargo, which I sold at a profit
before the end of the period. Those firms worked through their credit
quality problems as the economy emerged from the last recession, and were
well-positioned to benefit from lower interest rates and rising fees from
their fast-growing, non-bank businesses such as trust services.
Q. WHERE ELSE WERE YOU SUCCESSFUL?
A. I also invested in U.S. auto manufacturers Chrysler and Ford. Auto
stocks typically are among the first to rebound as the economy picks up
steam. Moreover, both Chrysler and Ford have cut costs, taken back market
share from overseas competi- tors and introduced strong new products. The
fund also profited from owning shares of industrial companies that are
sensitive to the economy such as General Electric. The firm has a strong
and growing presence in overseas markets, and its industrial business has
performed well due to continued cost cutting. And while many investors were
skeptical about G.E.'s financial services division, it also has performed
well, boosting the company's overall earnings.
Q. MANY OF THE NAMES YOU MENTION ARE NO LONGER AMONG THE FUND'S TOP
HOLDINGS. WHY THE CHANGE?
A. I sold or deemphasized some stocks which had posted sizable gains during
the first part of the year and replaced them with stocks trading at more
attractive valuations, as measured by yardsticks such as price-to-earnings
ratios. Specifically, I sold some of the large bank positions including
First Fidelity, NationsBank and First Interstate, all of which had
outperformed the broader market and no longer appeared as compelling.
Overall, I reduced the fund's stake in financial stocks from 21% a year ago
to about 13% at the end of November. Partly, that was because I believe the
benefits of lower interest rates and improving credit quality have largely
been realized. But also, given the sluggish demand for loans, relative
earnings growth appears to be slowing.
Q. WHAT KINDS OF STOCKS DID YOU BUY TO REPLACE THE BANK STOCKS AND OTHER
MAJOR HOLDINGS YOU SOLD OFF?
A. A variety. Lately, it's been more difficult to find broad investment
themes that I'm confident will be as successful as those that worked for us
in 1993. For example, it's no longer such an easy decision to avoid food
and tobacco or health-care stocks, which have declined by more than 20%.
And the most obvious bargains I spotted early in the year are no longer as
cheap. As a result, I've become more opportunistic, picking stocks on a
case-by-case basis. For example, I recently added tobacco stocks such as
Philip Morris and RJR Nabisco, which are trading at attractive prices. Both
firms were hurt by price wars in the domestic cigarette market. But those
wars have abated, and the firms are cutting costs, which should help their
profits going into 1994.
Q. ARE YOU FINDING OPPORTUNITIES IN OVERSEAS SECURITIES?
A. The fund's exposure to foreign securities was about 11% six months ago
and had risen to 15% by the end of November. Most of our foreign
investments are in Europe, because I think real interest rates must decline
further in countries like France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United
Kingdom to reignite those economies. For example, in France, I've invested
in ten-year French government bonds as well as financial services stocks,
such as Paribas, that will benefit from lower rates, and early cyclicals,
like Peugeot and Valeo. My foreign stocks also include British Petroleum,
which has lowered its costs, strengthened its financial position, and
should be able to increase its oil and gas production.
Q. WHAT OTHER KINDS OF STOCKS DO YOU LIKE IN THIS MARKET?
A. I like companies whose managers are doing things to turn around their
businesses. For example, Sears has spun off divisions and begun to improve
the performance of its retail stores. Tenneco has made enormous progress
towards improving the profitability of its weakest division, J.I. Case.
Right now, I'm also interested in businesses such as Eastman Kodak and
American Cyanamid, where new management is working to boost profitability.
These often are depressed stocks that pay relatively high yields, which is
also a plus.
Q. HAVE YOU INCREASED THE FUND'S EXPOSURE TO SMALL OR MEDIUM-SIZED
COMPANIES SINCE YOU TOOK THE REINS LAST AUGUST?
A. Not really. But I have reduced the number of stocks in the fund from
around 290 to about 230, and I'd like to get rid of another 30 names. I've
tried to concentrate more of the fund in the top 50 or so holdings. That
way, my best ideas really drive the fund's performance.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. I don't know how the stock market will perform. But it wouldn't take
much to upset the current bullish consensus, which says that we are in an
ideal investment world, with economic growth accompanied by low interest
rates and inflation. Meanwhile, I'll stay very focused on the importance of
value. If a stock is cheap, then it's not likely to fall as far as more
expensive issues if the market does run into trouble.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

22. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Income (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series III (the trust) (formerly Fidelity Franklin Street Trust)
and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers both Institutional Class and Retail Class shares which have
equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class bears
different distribution and transfer agent expenses and certain registration
fees. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its
distribution plans.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
ALLOCATED EARNINGS AND EXPENSES. Investment income, expenses (other than
expenses incurred under each class's Distribution and Service Plans,
Transfer Agent Agreements and certain registration fees) and realized and
unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of
shares based upon their relative net assets.
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities, other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practical to identify the portion of each amount shown in the
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of
foreign taxes where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
23. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of
forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and presented net on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Gain (loss) on the purchase or sale of forward
foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other registered
investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may transfer
uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
24. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $265,599,801 and $208,103,129, respectively.
25. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .50% of the fund's average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the
Retail Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a distribution and service fee that is based on an annual rate of .65%
of its average net assets. For the period, the Retail Class paid FDC
$123,058 of which $94,623 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other
financial institutions for selling shares of the Retail Class and providing
shareholder support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $1,855 for the
period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of the Retail
Class. The sales charge rates ranged from 2.00% to 4.75% based on purchase
amounts of less than $1,000,000. Purchase amounts of $1,000,000 or more are
not charged a sales load. For the period, FDC received $792,962 of which
$675,205 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, and State Street Bank and Trust Company
(State Street) are the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder
servicing agents for the Institutional Class and Retail Class,
respectively. Under revised fee schedules which became effective January 1,
1993, FIIOC and State Street receive fees based on the type, size, number
of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders. FIIOC, on
behalf of State Street, also collects fees from the fund and pays State
Street for its services. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing
of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $126,832 for the period.
26. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$17,474 under this arrangement.
27. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for both classes were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series III (formerly Fidelity Franklin
Street Trust) and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio
Income:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Advisor Series III: Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Income,
including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of November 30, 1993,
and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period then ended (Institutional Class) and for the year ended November 30,
1993 and for the period September 10, 1992 (commencement of sale of Retail
Class shares) to November 30, 1992 (Retail Class). These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of November 30, 1993 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Advisor Series III: Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Income as
of November 30, 1993, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years
in the period then ended (Institutional Class) and for the year ended
November 30, 1993 and for the period September 10, 1992 (commencement of
sale of Retail Class shares) to November 30, 1992 (Retail Class), in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
ROBERT STANSKY,
PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF
FIDELITY ADVISOR INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO GROWTH
WE'VE PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING MARKET RECAP AS CONTEXT FOR THE MANAGER'S
INTERVIEW:
LOW INFLATION, FALLING INTEREST RATES AND A GRADUALLY IMPROVING ECONOMY
BOOSTED U.S. STOCKS DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993. THE
STANDARD & POOR'S 500 INDEX - A BROAD MEASURE OF U.S. STOCK PERFORMANCE
- - ROSE 10.10%, IN LINE WITH THE MARKET'S LONG-TERM AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURN.
CONTINUED POOR PERFORMANCE BY TOBACCO, DRUG AND BRAND-NAME CONSUMER
PRODUCTS STOCKS WAS OFFSET BY IMPRESSIVE RESULTS IN OTHER SECTORS,
INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY, ALTHOUGH SEMICONDUCTORS GAVE BACK PART OF THEIR GAINS
IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. OTHER MARKET LEADERS WERE FINANCE, NOTABLY
SECURITIES BROKERS; AUTOS; ENTERTAINMENT; AND PRECIOUS METALS.
COMMUNICATIONS STOCKS SOARED AS TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE UTILITIES, CELLULAR
COMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPANIES SCRAMBLED TO FORM
STRATEGIC ALLIANCES. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS ACTIVITY RESUMED AT A PACE
REMINISCENT OF THE 1980S. THE NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX, WHICH TRACKS
OVER-THE-COUNTER STOCKS, ROSE 15.57% FOR THE YEAR, COMPARED TO 14.73% FOR
THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE, AN INDEX OF 30 BLUE-CHIP STOCKS. BOTH
TRAILED THE MORGAN STANLEY EAFE (EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, FAR EAST) INDEX, WHICH
ROSE 24.27%. TWO WIDELY WATCHED BENCHMARKS BROKE RECORDS DURING THE PERIOD:
SLOW GROWTH AND THE PROSPECT OF HIGHER TAXES HELPED PUSH THE YIELD ON THE
30-YEAR TREASURY BELOW 6% IN EARLY SEPTEMBER; MEANWHILE, THE DOW CLOSED
ABOVE 3700 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MID-NOVEMBER, AND FINISHED THE MONTH AT
3684.
Q. BOB, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. The fund's total return for the year ended November 30, 1993, was
15.36%. That compared to 9.30% for the average growth fund tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND TOP THE AVERAGE?
A. I believe stock prices follow earnings, and the fund did well to the
extent that I was able to find companies that were growing earnings within
their given industries. That said, this past year has not been without its
challenges. We've seen the stocks of many growth companies take on rather
high price-to-earnings ratios, or valuations. This year, many stocks with
p/e ratios high enough to scare any fund manager just kept on performing
well. That made it more difficult to determine whether a particular stock's
price was so high relative to earnings that it couldn't rise much more.
It's very tough to hold on to or buy more of a stock that's on the way up;
most people want to sell and take their profits. In part, we beat the
average by sticking with rising stocks of companies that were growing
earnings, even if these stocks were expensive.
Q. LET'S GET SPECIFIC. WHERE DID YOU FIND THE TOP PERFORMERS?
A. Mostly in the technology sector - 23.8% of the fund on November 30. This
was the group of companies that showed the strongest earnings growth this
year, with the sector up over 13% in 1993, through November. Investors
wanted to know who had the new product on the market and was selling a lot
of them. For example, Compaq remained one the fund's top investments over
the last six months. The personal computer market is adding roughly 40
million units a year and Compaq is gaining market share. Profitability is
improving and the company appears to have the right products at the right
price. The price of Compaq's stock ended May at $57.88 and had risen to
$72.38 by the end of November. Motorola was the fund's fourth largest
investment as of November 30. Here's a well-positioned company in two
attractive industries - semi-conductors and communications equipment, both
of which were among the market leaders this year. Motorola has been
increasing its earnings and seems poised to benefit from the technology
boom in this country. So far, it performed well in the late summer and
early fall, before dropping slightly in November.
Q. HAVEN'T MANY TECHNOLOGY STOCKS DROPPED IN PRICE LATELY?
A. Yes, it's true as a whole they've fallen off somewhat, especially as
some investors have taken profits. However, it's not unusual for the sector
to be very volatile; a stock rising strongly one minute can be perceived as
overpriced and subject to heavy selling the next. Recently questionable
business prospects within some of these companies also caused their stocks
to lose favor. For example, Microsoft is a stock I sold in early summer
because I had doubts about the company's near-term earnings potential,
given its valuation. After its price dropped in the fall, it began to look
more attractive and I began buying again. I have to be very careful with
technology stocks but I like their long-term prospects.
Q. WHERE ELSE DID YOU FIND INVESTING OPPORTUNITIES?
A. Financial stocks - the fund's second largest sector investment at 9.9% -
performed well for part of the year before prices edged back down.
Brokerage companies provided some strong gains. For example, Merrill
Lynch's stock rose roughly 30% from May through October. In addition, the
fund had 9% of its investments in retail stocks at the end of November.
This sector has had a rough year, but a handful of stocks have done well.
J.C. Penney was the fund's biggest retail holding during many of the last
six months. I am much more apt to own a specialty retailer than a large
department store, but few specialty stores did well this year. Lately,
Penney's has done a good job with its private label merchandise. Its
catalogue sales also have been strong. In addition, auto stocks - namely,
Ford and Chrysler - have been steady performers.
Q. AREN'T AUTO COMPANIES CONSIDERED CYCLICAL STOCKS, OR THOSE THAT TEND TO
RISE AND FALL IN TANDEM WITH THE ECONOMY?
A. Traditionally, yes. But if you were to cover up the names and strictly
look at Chrysler's or Ford's business fundamentals, you'd think they were
growth stocks. Chrysler, in particular, has shown strong earnings momentum
over the last few quarters. In business terms, they're seeing "unit
growth," which simply means they're selling more cars. That makes these
investments consistent with the fund's goal of buying stocks of companies
whose earnings are growing faster than the market average.
Q. ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Always. Casino stocks come to mind this time. Many had big gains this
year as more states and localities legalized casino gambling as a way to
boost their economies. In hindsight, investing more heavily in casinos
could have provided the fund with a stronger return. Companies that
specialize in riverboat gambling did especially well.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR VIEW OF THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. Because so many stocks now carry prices that are high relative to
earnings, I'll have to be choosy in the months ahead. Stocks that seem like
sure bets are becoming very scarce. I don't like to make predictions
concerning which way the market will go. But I think it'll be an
environment in which the art of picking successful stocks and avoiding the
losers will be much more of a factor in success than market or economic
conditions. I always have to watch the economy closely, but I'm more
concerned with the business fundamentals of the individual companies whose
stocks I buy. These growth companies are always out there. If I can find
them with consistency, the fund should continue to do well over the long
run. But investors need to remember that any interim period can be rocky.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Growth (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (the trust) (formerly Fidelity Broad Street Trust) and is
authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers both Institutional Class and Retail Class shares which have
equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each
class bears different distribution and transfer agent expenses and certain
registration fees. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
its distribution plans.

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
ALLOCATED EARNINGS AND EXPENSES. Investment income, expenses (other than
expenses incurred under each class's Distribution and Service Plans,
Transfer Agent Agreements and certain registration fees) and realized and
unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of
shares based upon their relative net assets.
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities, other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practical to identify the portion of each amount shown in the
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend and
interest income is recorded net of foreign taxes where recovery of such
taxes is not assured.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of
forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and presented net on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Gain (loss) on the purchase or sale of forward
foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $917,420,702 and $544,666,908, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates ranging from
.31% to .52% and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund fee rate is .33%.
For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of
.66% of average net assets.
The Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .2850% to .5200%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a lower management fee.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the
Retail Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a distribution and service fee that is based on an annual rate of .65%
of its average net assets. For the period, the Retail Class paid FDC
$1,141,854 of which $883,141 was paid to securities dealers, banks and
other financial institutions for selling shares of the Retail Class and
providing shareholder support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the plan amounted to $11,557 for the
period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of the Retail
Class. The sales charge rates ranged from 2.00% to 4.75% based on purchase
amounts of less than $1,000,000. Purchase amounts of $1,000,000 or more are
not charged a sales load. For the period, FDC received $10,102,208 of which
$8,579,172 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, and State Street Bank and Trust Company
(State Street) are the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder
servicing agents for the Institutional Class and Retail Class,
respectively. Under revised fee schedules which became effective January 1,
1993, FIIOC and State Street receive fees based on the type, size, number
of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders. FIIOC, on
behalf of State Street, also collects fees from the fund and pays State
Street for its services. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing
of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $362,158 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$39,081 under this arrangement.
6. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
NEITHER THE FUND NOR FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION IS A BANK AND FUND
SHARES ARE NOT BACKED OR GUARANTEED BY
ANY BANK OR INSURED BY THE FDIC.
Share transactions for both classes were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series I (formerly Fidelity Broad

including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of November 30, 1993,
and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period

statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of November 30, 1993, by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Advisor Series I: Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Growth as
of November 30, 1993, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the

MARKET RECAP
Generally, interest rates fell during the year ended November 30, 1993. As
a result, bond prices rose and most fixed-income investors - including
those in tax-free bonds - enjoyed attractive returns. The period began amid
expectations of higher interest rates to come. This was based on signs that
the economic recovery was finally taking hold, as well as uncertainty over
the spending plans of the president-elect. But as President Clinton
promised to tackle the deficit and fight inflation, the bond market
signaled its approval. The yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond
declined steadily and reached a historic low of 5.79% in mid-October. By
the end of the period, as inflation fears returned, the 30-year bond was
yielding 6.30%. Two factors affected tax-free bonds specifically: On the
positive side, higher federal taxes - discussed all year and approved in
August - boosted demand. At the same time, record new issuance kept
supplies high, which somewhat dampened prices. Overall during the period,
tax-free bonds performed well compared to other fixed-income investments.
The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad measure of the tax-free
bond market - rose 11.09%. By comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - which tracks investment-grade taxable bonds - rose only
10.89%, due in part to relatively poor performance by mortgage-backed
securities.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
JACK HALEY,
PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF
FIDELITY ADVISOR INSTITUTIONAL LIMITED TERM
TAX-EXEMPT FUND
Q. JACK, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Not as well as its peers. The fund's total return for the fiscal year
ended November 30, 1993 was 8.01%. During the same period, the average
intermediate municipal bond fund returned 9.52%, according to Lipper
Analytical Services.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG?
A. For most of the year, the fund's assets were declining. To satisfy
redemptions, I had to keep more cash on hand than I would have liked. That
kept the fund's duration low: around six years, which was shorter than the
group average. Duration measures volatility. Through most of the past year,
when interest rates were falling and bond prices were rising, a longer
duration would have produced higher returns. Then in September, as the
fund's assets began climbing again, I took the opportunity to extend
duration. I continued in that vein - reaching 7.3 years by the end of
November - even as interest rates rose slightly in October and November.
While that hurt the fund in the short term, my goal was to set the stage
for stronger performance in the months to come.
Q. WHILE YOU'VE EXTENDED THE FUND'S DURATION, YOU'VE ALSO SOLD LONG-TERM
BONDS WITH A MATURITY OF 20 YEARS OR MORE. WHY?
A. Bonds that mature in 15-20 years currently offer almost as much yield as
bonds with maturities of 20 years or longer. But if interest rates rise and
bond prices fall, the shorter-term bonds have less downside risk. Given
that, I see little advantage to owning the longer-term bonds. Especially
when I can extend the fund's duration in other ways: by buying non-callable
bonds, which can't be prepaid; and zero-coupon bonds, which pay no interest
until maturity.
Q. YOU'VE BEEN BUYING A LOT OF CALIFORNIA BONDS LATELY. WHY?
A. Conditions in California are looking up. The state was operating within
about 1% of budget through the first quarter of its fiscal year, a big
improvement compared to all the red ink we've seen in recent years. I've
been adding to the fund's stake steadily for the last six months.
California bonds totaled 14.2% of the fund at the end of November, up from
less than 3% a year ago. Earlier in the year, I bought mainly high-quality
issues - insured bonds and AA-rated utility bonds. Recently, though, I've
begun selling the AAA insureds and buying single-A bonds; as economic
conditions improve in California, lower-rated bonds may have more
price-gain potential. So far, I have de-emphasized Southern California,
where I feel the recovery will lag the rest of the state, and focused
instead on state-agency bonds and Northern California local government
issues. I don't expect a rapid turnaround, but I do think now is a good
time to begin building a core position for the future.
Q. YOU'VE ALSO BEEN ADDING TO THE FUND'S STAKE IN EDUCATION BONDS - 16.3%
AT THE END OF NOVEMBER. WHY ARE THEY ATTRACTIVE?
A. Student loan bonds have largely replaced housing bonds over the last
year, as refinancings have made housing bonds progressively less
attractive. Student loan bonds may underperform other bonds in a rally; but
in a flat interest-rate environment - which I'm expecting as we head into
1994 - they can provide the fund with extra income. Some of the AA-rated
student-loan bonds I've bought lately offer three-quarters of a percentage
point more yield than comparable-maturity, AAA-rated general obligation
bonds, or GOs. GOs provide operating revenues for states and municipalities
and are funded by tax dollars. Looking ahead, if President Clinton succeeds
in reforming the way students finance their college education, that may
spell the end of student loan bonds in their present form. If so, we could
see a developing supply/demand imbalance, and ultimately higher prices.
Q. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT GOING FORWARD?
A. By the end of November, the fund was emerging from a difficult period
marked by net redemptions and declining assets. The fund has begun growing
again at an advantageous time, since the outlook for the municipal bond
market is reasonably bright. A further sharp drop in interest rates is
unlikely, but so is a sharp increase. As we enter 1994, I anticipate slow
to moderate economic growth in the first quarter and less worry about
inflation, both of which would be good for bonds. Munis in particular are
likely to benefit from reduced supply and increased demand stimulated by
higher taxes and the backing of high-coupon bonds that will likely be
called on January 1. I'll probably target a neutral to a slightly
aggressive duration - somewhere around seven years - and continue to
emphasize California bonds.

(i) The coupon rate shown on floating or adjustable rate securities
represents the rate at period end.
(j) A portion of the security was pledged to cover margin requirements for
futures contracts. At the period end, the value of securities pledged
amounted to $486,500.
(k) Security collateralized by an amount sufficient to pay interest and
principal.
(l) Inverse floating rate security is a security where the coupon is
inversely indexed to a floating interest rate multiplied by a specified
factor. If the floating rate is high enough, the coupon rate may be zero or
be a negative amount that is carried forward to reduce future interest
and/or principal payments. The price may be considerably more volatile than
the price of a comparable fixed rate security.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series VI (the trust) (formerly Fidelity Oliver Street
Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers both Institutional Class and Retail Class shares which have
equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each
class bears different distribution and transfer agent expenses and certain
registration fees. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
its distribution plans.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
ALLOCATED EARNINGS AND EXPENSES. Investment income, expenses (other than
expenses incurred under each class's Distribution and Service Plans,
Transfer Agent Agreements and certain registration fees) and realized and
unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of
shares based upon their relative net assets.
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available through the
pricing service are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $33,080,602 and $15,902,467, respectively.
The face value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$10,795,068 and $8,541,760, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the
basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to
the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted
average of a series of rates ranging from .15% to .37% and is based on the
monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annual rate of .42% of average net assets.
The Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .1325% to .3700%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a lower management fee.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the
Retail Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a distribution and service fee that is based on an annual rate of .25%
of its average net assets. For the period, the Retail Class paid FDC
$38,552 all of which was paid to securities dealers, banks and other
financial institutions for selling shares of the Retail Class and providing
shareholder support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $1,134 for the
period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of the Retail
Class. The sales charge rates ranged from 2.00% to 4.75% based on purchase
amounts of less than $1,000,000. Purchase amounts of $1,000,000 or more are
not charged a sales load. For the period, FDC received $669,395 of which
$571,954 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. United Missouri Bank, N.A. (the Bank)
is the custodian and transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the fund.
The Bank has entered into sub-contracts with Fidelity Investments
Institutional Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, and State
Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB) to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent functions for the Institutional
Class and Retail Class, respectively. Under revised fee schedules which
became effective January 1, 1993, FIIOC and SSB receive fees based on the
type, size, number of accounts and the number of transactions made by
shareholders. FIIOC, on behalf of SSB, collects fees from the fund and pays
SSB for its services. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of
all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
The Bank also has a sub-contract with Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, under which FSC maintains the fund's accounting records.
The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses. For the period, FSC received accounting fees
amounting to $45,724.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund for total operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of .65% and .90% of average net assets for
the Institutional Class and Retail Class, respectively. For the period, the
reimbursement reduced expenses by $39,011 and $70,990 for the Institutional
Class and Retail Class, respectively.

MARKET RECAP
By December 1, 1992, the bond market had gotten over the jitters tied to
the unknown plans of a newly-elected president, and begun a year of sharp
gains tied to low inflation, falling interest rates and slow growth in the
U.S. economy. Through December and into the new year, the market signaled
its approval of Mr. Clinton's plans to tackle the budget deficit and fight
inflation. The yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond fell from 7.57%
on December 1 to 6.73% on March 8, 1993. After a brief inflation scare in
late spring, bond investors focused on continued high unemployment and slow
growth, and interest rates resumed their downward trend. The yield on the
30-year Treasury dropped below 6% in early September, and hit a three
decade low in mid-October, yielding 5.79%. Soon after, strengthening
economic numbers fueled more nervousness over inflation. Interest rates
rose in late October and into November, driving bond prices down and
dampening results for the year, overall. However, the Lehman Brothers
Government Treasury Long Term Index shows long-term Treasuries returned a
strong 20.08% for the 12 months ended November 30, 1993. Corporate junk
bonds - which benefited from a strengthening economy - rose 18.58%, as
measured by the Salomon Brothers Composite High Yield Index. Mortgage
securities continued to lag other fixed-income investments, reflecting the
impact of mortgage refinancing by millions of homeowners. The Salomon
Brothers Mortgage Index rose 7.53%. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index, a broad measure of bond performance, returned 10.89% for the year.
Globally, falling interest rates and low inflation fueled strong returns in
both developed countries and, more notably, in emerging markets. The
Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index - which includes U.S. issues -
rose 12.99% for the year. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index was up
39.11%.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
MICHAEL GRAY,
PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF
FIDELITY ADVISOR INSTITUTIONAL LIMITED TERM BOND FUND
Q. MICHAEL, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. The fund's total return - which includes income and changes
in share price - was 13.17% for the year ended November 30, 1993. That
performance beat the number for the average intermediate investment grade
bond fund, which returned 10.74% for the year, according to Lipper
Analytical Services.
Q. TO WHAT DO YOU CREDIT THE STRONG RETURNS?
A. A few factors. First, over most of this year, I made sure the fund's
duration - which measures its sensitivity to interest rate changes -
remained on the long side. This meant buying bonds - in this case
Treasuries - with long maturities to take better advantage of the falling
interest rates we saw this year. These bonds gain more in price than
shorter issues when rates drop. For example, at the end of August the
fund's duration was quite long at 5.3 years, which means for every one
percentage point drop in interest rates, the share price of the fund would
have risen roughly 5.3%. Conversely, if interest rates had risen one
percentage point, the share price would have dropped about 5.3%. Because we
experienced falling interest rates this year, my plan worked.
Q. WHAT ELSE HELPED?
A. To help offset some of the risk of holding longer bonds, I also employed
what's called a "barbell strategy." As I gathered long-term bonds - those
with maturities of 10 years or more - I invested most of the remainder of
the fund's money in short-term issues - those with maturities of less than
three years - with very few in between. This strategy worked because the
yield curve flattened - that is, the difference between long- and
short-term interest rates narrowed. The fund made significant price gains
on the longer-term issues and reduced risk with the shorter-term bonds.
Finally, the fund had quite a large stake - 32.30% - in corporate bonds.
Generally, these issues offered higher yields than U.S. Treasury bonds of
similar maturities. About 7.5% of our corporates were in banks, which
returned high yields when credit quality improved in the banking sector.
Q. THE FUND'S AVERAGE DURATION ROSE FROM 4.8 YEARS IN MAY TO 5.3 YEARS IN
AUGUST. THEN, BY THE END OF NOVEMBER, YOU HAD SHORTENED THE DURATION TO 3.5
YEARS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE CHANGES?
A. I've been very optimistic about the bond market all year, but lately
I've turned a bit defensive. As I mentioned, when interest rates were
falling, I lengthened the duration to achieve more dramatic gains as bond
prices rose. Right now, I'm concerned about a short-term rise in inflation,
which could send rates up a little. I've shortened the duration, which
means if rates go up, the fund's share price won't drop as much as it would
if the duration were longer.
Q. OVERSEAS INVESTING HAS BEEN A NOTICEABLE TREND AMONG MUTUAL FUND
MANAGERS LATELY. HAVE YOU JOINED IN?
A. Definitely. I had 26.7% of the fund's investments overseas at the end of
November. The fund's foreign investments break down about evenly between
dollar-denominated securities and non-dollar denominated securities. When a
foreign entity issues debt in the U.S. market in U.S. dollars, that
dollar-denominated debt is called a Yankee Bond. Obviously, there is no
currency risk - the risk that changes in the relationship of a foreign
country's currency to the U.S. dollar would adversely affect the prices of
the bonds I hold. Conversely, when I buy bonds issued by a foreign company
or country in that country's own currency, they're non-dollar denominated.
On that end, short-term issues from the Mexican government, called Cetes,
have produced double-digit returns for the fund. That more than offset
their currency risk. Lately, I've cut back on Cetes for two reasons. First,
their yields have dropped substantially and are no longer as attractive.
Second, I was concerned about the vote on the North American Free Trade
Agreement. Over the last few months I felt, if NAFTA failed, the Mexican
economy might stumble in the short term. Now that Congress has passed
NAFTA, I'm increasing my Mexican investments, as I believe the pact will
have positive long-term economic effects for Mexico.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. According to all forecasts, the fourth quarter should be strong
economically. This has already started to produce a slight inflation scare,
but I think inflation will remain low - in the 2 to 2 1/2% range - in the
coming months. I expect the economy may grow slowly in 1994. The Clinton
tax hike and health-care plan may put a heavier economic burden on some
families and businesses. Slow growth and low inflation are favorable for
bonds, but if interest rates stabilize at a low level, we won't see the
price gains we've experienced over the last six months. So it could be
tough to produce the returns the fund realized in '93.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series IV (the trust) (formerly Fidelity Income Trust) and is
authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers both Institutional Class and Retail Class shares which have
equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each
class bears different distribution and transfer agent expenses and certain
registration fees. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
its distribution plans.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
ALLOCATED EARNINGS AND EXPENSES. Investment income, expenses (other than
expenses incurred under each class's Distribution and Service Plans,
Transfer Agent Agreements and certain registration fees) and realized and
unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of
shares based upon their relative net assets.
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities, other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practical to identify the portion of each amount shown in the
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Mortgage security paydown gains
(losses) are taxable as ordinary income and, therefore, increase (decrease)
taxable ordinary income available for distribution.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
mortgage-backed securities, foreign currency transactions and market
discount.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of
forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and presented net on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Gain (loss) on the purchase or sale of forward
foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures contracts and
write options. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent
of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT.
At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments
in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase
agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and
found satisfactory by FMR. The repurchase agreements were dated November
30, 1993 and due December 1, 1993. The maturity values of the joint trading
account investments were $54,737,926 at 3.24%. The investments in
repurchase agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as
follows:

12/30/93 to 11/15/22
4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $113,738,403 and $93,664,762, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $84,069,711 and
$65,920,236, respectively.
5. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates ranging from
.15% to .37% and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%.
For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .42%
of average net assets.
The Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .1325% to .3700%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a lower management fee.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the
Retail Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a distribution and service fee that is based on an annual rate of .25%
of its average net assets. For the period, the Retail Class paid FDC
$56,220 all of which was paid to securities dealers, banks and other
financial institutions for selling shares of the Retail Class and providing
shareholder support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $3,011 for the
period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of the Retail
Class. The sales charge rates ranged from 2.00% to 4.75% based on purchase
amounts of less than $1,000,000. Purchase amounts of $1,000,000 or more are
not charged a sales load. For the period, FDC received $1,436,859 of which
$1,226,146 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, and State Street Bank and Trust Company
(State Street) are the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder
servicing agents for the Institutional Class and Retail Class,
respectively. Under revised fee schedules which became effective January 1,
1993, FIIOC and State Street receive fees based on the type, size, number
of accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders. FIIOC, on
behalf of State Street, also collects fees from the fund and pays State
Street for its services. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing
of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
6. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for both classes were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series IV (formerly Fidelity Income
Trust) and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Advisor Series IV: Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund,
including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of November 30, 1993,
and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period

1993 and for the period September 10, 1992 (commencement of sale of Retail
Class shares) to November 30, 1992 (Retail Class). These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of November 30, 1993 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Advisor Series IV: Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund as
of November 30, 1993, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the

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 assets or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation shall 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 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 (1940 Act)) of the Fund. THE
FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN
THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:

(1) purchase the securities of any issuer (except the United States
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities or securities which are
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States) if, as a result:
(a) more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of
such issuer, provided, however, that up to 25% of its total assets may be
invested without regard to such 5% limitation; or (b) the Fund would hold
more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) make short sales of securities, provided, however, that the Fund may
purchase or sell futures contracts;
(4) purchase any securities on margin, except for such short-term credits
as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, provided, however, that
the Fund may make initial and variation margin payments in connection with
purchases or sales of futures contracts or of options on futures contracts;
(5) borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) or engage in reverse
repurchase agreements, in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of
the Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities
(other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed 33 1/3% of the
Fund's total assets by reason of a decline in net assets will be reduced
within three days to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3%
limitation (the Fund will not purchase securities for investment while
borrowings equaling 5% or more of its total assets are outstanding);
(6) underwrite any issue of securities, except to the extent that the
purchase of bonds in accordance with the Fund's investment objective,
policies, and limitations, either directly from the issuer, or from an
underwriter for an issuer, may be deemed to be underwriting;
(7) purchase the securities of any issuer (except the United States
government, its agencies or instrumentalities or securities which are
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States) if, as a result,
more than 25% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in any one
industry, provided, however, that the Fund may invest more than 25% of its
total assets in the obligations of banks;
(8) 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);
(9) 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);
(10) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of the Fund's total assets would be lent to other parties (but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements);
(11) purchase the securities of other investment companies or investment
trusts;
(12) purchase the securities of any issuer (except the United States
government, its agencies or instrumentalities or securities which are
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States) if, as a result
more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities
where payment of principal and interest are the responsibility of a company
with less than three years' operating history;
(13) invest in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
programs; or
(14) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
Investment limitation (5) is construed in conformity with the 1940 Act,
and, accordingly, "three days" means three days, exclusive of Sundays and
holidays.

THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.

(i) The Fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or Fund for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment advisor or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for
purposes of fundamental investment limitation (5)). 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.
(ii) The Fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% 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.
(iii) 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 Fund for which
FMR or an affiliate serves as investment advis e r 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 to repurchase agreements.)
(iv) The Fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the Trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
(v) The Fund does not currently intend to invest more than 25% of its total
assets in any one industry.
(vi) The Fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(vii) The Fund does not currently intend to invest in securities of real
estate limited partnerships that are not listed on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) or the American Stock Exchange or traded on the NASDAQ
National Market System.
For the Fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the
section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
beginning on page 8.

AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. Pursuant to exemptive orders issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may engage in
transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be
considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the Fund under the 1940 Act.
Such transactions may be entered into only pursuant to procedures
established and periodically reviewed by the Board of Trustees. These
transactions may include repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
purchases, as principal, of short-term obligations of, and repurchase
agreements with, the 50 largest banks (measured by deposits); transactions
in municipal securities; and transactions in U.S. government securities
with affiliated banks that are primary dealers in these securities ;
short-term currency transactions; and short-term secured borrowing.
THE FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SECURITYHOLDER. The Fund does not intend to direct
or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. The Fund, however,
may exercise its rights as a holder of securities and may communicate its
views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Trustees,
and other holders of securities of a company when FMR determines that such
matters could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund's
investment in the company. The activities that the Fund may engage in,
either individually or in conjunction with others may include among others,
supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure
or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or
management; seeking changes in company's direction or policies; seeking the
sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; or
supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts. This area of
corporation activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible
that the Fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities.
FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent
possible, the risk of litigation against the Fund and the risk of actual
liability if the Fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made,
however, that litigation against the Fund will not be undertaken or
liabilities incurred.

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 a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership of the security, 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.
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
issuer 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 hold foreign currency
deposits from time to time, and may convert dollars and foreign currencies
in the foreign exchange markets. Currency conversion involves dealer
spreads and other costs, although commissions usually are not charged.
Currencies may be exchanged 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. Forward contracts generally are 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 to manage currency risks and
to facilitate transactions in foreign securities. The following discussion
summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward
contracts that could be used by the Fund.
In connection with purchases and sales of securities denominated in
foreign currencies, the Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to
fix a definite price for the purchase or sale in advance of the trade's
settlement date. This technique is sometimes referred to as a "settlement
hedge" or "transaction hedge." FMR expects to enter into settlement hedges
in the normal course of managing the Fund's foreign investments. The Fund
could 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.
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 forward currency contracts will depend on FMR's skill in
analyzing and predicting currency values. Forward contracts 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 forward currency contracts will be advantageous
to the Fund or that it will hedge at an appropriate time. The policies
described in this section are non-fundamental policies of the Fund.

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, 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 10% 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 the Fund 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.

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 can be
liquidated.
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
which 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 may include letters of credit, revolving
credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments obligating the
holder to pay additional cash on demand. These commitments may have the
effect of requiring the holder to increase its investment in a borrower at
a time when it would not otherwise have done so. The Fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
potential obligations under standby financing commitments (if any).
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
(7)). 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 the purposes of determining
whether the Fund has invested more than 5% of its total assets in a single
issuer. 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.
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.
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 on an agreed-upon date within a number of days from
the date of purchase. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon market rate of interest 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 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 a repurchase agreement with respect to
any 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 delay 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 fund 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 has been found 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.
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 NYSE 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 level 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).
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 extant 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 agree-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.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The Fund has filed 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 Section 4.5 of the
regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to
which the Fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the Fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put
options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% 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; or (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. 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 above limitations on the Fund's investments in futures contracts and
options, and the Fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options
discussed elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information are not
fundamental policies and 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, it agrees 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.
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 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 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 futures 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 it typically invests,
which involves a risk that the 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 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 on 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 historical volatility between the contract
and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If
price changes in the Fund's options and 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 the 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 futures 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 the 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 its 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 its exposure to different foreign
currencies. The Fund may also purchase and write currency options to
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 SEC 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 option 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
Fund 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 management
contract. 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 will consider
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. Commissions for foreign investments
traded on foreign exchanges will generally 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 brokerage and research 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 broker-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 attempt 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 or 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 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. FMR may also place
agency transactions with Fidelity Portfolio Services, Ltd. (FPSL), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity International Limited (FIL). Edward C.
Johnson 3d is Chairman of FIL. Mr. Johnson 3d, together with various trusts
for the benefit of Johnson family members, owns directly or indirectly more
than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL.
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, except in accordance with
regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to such regulations, the Board of
Trustees has approved a written agreement which permits FBSI to effect
portfolio transactions on national securities exchanges and to retain
compensation in connection with such transactions.
The 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 dealer spreads paid by the Fund over representative
periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the
benefits to the Fund.
For the fiscal years ended November 30, 1993 and 1992, the annual
portfolio turnover rate amounted to 59 % and 7%, respectively.
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 are managed by
the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is
suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund.
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 a formula considered by the officers of the funds involved to be
equitable to each 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.
Foreign securities are valued at the last sale price in the principal
market where they are traded, or, if last sale prices are unavailable, at
the last bid price available prior to the time each class' net asset value
(NAV) is determined. Foreign security prices are furnished by
quotation services who express the value of securities in their local
currency. Fidelity Service Co. (Service) translates the value of foreign
securities from the local currency into U.S. dollars at current exchange
rates. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate
fluctuations are included in the determination of each class' NAV.
PERFORMANCE
Each class of the Fund may quote its performance in various ways. All
performance information supplied in advertising is historical and
is not intended to indicate future returns. Share price and total returns
fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the value
of shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect
all aspects of return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and
capital gain distributions, and any change in the NAV over the
period. Average annual total returns are calculated by determining
the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment 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 tha t 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 .
In addition to average annual returns, unaveraged or cumulative
total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a
stated period may be quoted . 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, and/ or
a series of redemptions, over any time period. Total returns may be broken
down into their components of income and capital (including capital gain or
loss and changes in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of
these factors and their contributions to total return. An example of this
type of illustration is given below. Total returns may be quoted
with or without taking the maximum sales charge into account.
Total returns may be quoted on a before-tax or after-tax basis.
Excludin g the sales charge from a total return calculation produces
a higher total return figure. Total returns and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph or similar
illustration.
The following charts show yield, distribution rate and total returns for
the Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund and Fidelity Advisor

** Average annual total returns and yield include the effect of the
maximum sales charge. Effective September 10, 1992, the Fund commenced
sale of Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund. This performance
information does not reflect the 12b-1 fee and revised transfer agent fee
arrangement, and may not be representative of performance. Cumulative total
returns, and distribution rate do not include the effect of this charge and
would have been lower if it had been taken into account.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. Yields for each class used in advertising are
computed by dividing interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one
month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to
receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the NAV
a t 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. Dividends
from equity investments are treated as if they were accrued on a daily
basis, solely for the purpose of yield calculations. 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. Capital gains and losses
generally are excluded from the calculation.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates,
yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and
that in periods of rising interest rates, yield will tend to be somewhat
lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money
to each class 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 current yield. In periods of rising
interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
The distribution rate, which expresses the historical amount of income
dividends paid as a percentage of the share price, may also be quoted.
The distribution rate is calculated by dividing the daily dividend per
share by its offering price (including the maximum sales charge ) for
each day in the 30-day period, averaging the resulting percentages, then
expressing the average rate in annualized terms.
Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the yield differs
from income as determined for other accounting purposes. Because of
the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding income assumed in yield calculations , the yield may not
equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your account or the income
reported in the Fund's financial statements.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. 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 dividends , but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees or tax consequences into consideration.
Lipper may also rank funds based on yield. In addition to the mutual fund
rankings, performance may be compared to mutual fund performance indices
prepared by Lipper.
From time to time, performance may also be compared to other mutual
funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals. For
example, Morningstar, Inc. may be quoted 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.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial strategies.
for example, Fidelity's Asset Allocation Program materials may include a
workbook describing general principles of investing, such as asset
allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; a
questionnaire designed to help create a personal financial profile; and an
action plan offering investment alternatives.
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 Consumer Price Index), 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. Performance comparisons may also be made to that of
other compilations or indices that may be developed and made available in
the future.
Performance may also be compared to that of the S&P
500(registered trademark), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the Dow or
DJIA) , the Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) Small Company Fund, and
the NASDAQ Composite Index (NASDAQ). The S&P 500 and the Dow are widely
recognized, unmanaged indices of common stock prices. The performance of
the S&P 500 is based on changes in the prices of stocks comprising the
index and assumes the reinvestment of all dividends paid on such stocks.
Taxes, brokerage commissions and other fees are disregarded in computing
the level of the S&P 500 and the DJIA. The DFA is a market
value-weighted index of the ninth and tenth deciles of the NYSE, plus
stocks listed on the AMEX and over-the-counter (OTC) with the same or less
capitalization as the upperbound of the NYSE ninth decile stocks. The
yield or total return of Ginnie Maes, Fannie Maes, Freddie Macs, corporate
bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, may be quoted either in comparison
to each other or to the performance of each class.
Performance may be compared to the following unmanaged indices of
bond prices and yields:
Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index is an index comprised of all public
obligations of the U.S. Treasury, of U.S. Government agencies,
quasi-federal corporations, and corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S.
Government. The index excludes flower bonds, foreign targeted issues and
mortgage-backed securities.
Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index is an index comprised of all public,
fixed-rate, non-convertible investment grade domestic corporate debt.
Issues included in this index are rated at least Baa by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. (Moody's) or BBB by S&P, or in the case of bonds unrated
by Moody's or S&P, BBB by Fitch Investor Service. Collateralized
mortgage obligations are not included in the Corporate Bond Index.
Salomon Brothers High Yield Composite Index is an index of high yielding
utility and corporate bonds with a minimum maturity of seven years and with
total debt outstanding of at least $50 million. Issues included in the
index are rated Baa or lower by Moody's or BBB or lower by S&P.
Salomon Brothers High Grade Corporate Bond Index is an index of high
quality corporate bonds with a minimum maturity of at least ten years and
with total debt outstanding of at least $50 million. Issues included in
the index are rated Aa or better by Moody's or AA or better by S&P.
P erformance , or the performance of securities in which
each class may invest , may be compared to averages published
by IBC USA (Publications), Inc. of Ashland, Massachusetts. These
averages assume reinvestment of distributions. T he Bond Fund Report
Averages/All Taxable, which is reported in the BOND FUND REPORT, covers
over 250 taxable 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. Each class , however, invests in longer-term
instruments and its 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; saving for college; and,
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote financial or business
publications or periodicals including model portfolios or allocations, as
they relate to fund management, investment philosophy, and investment
techniques.
Each class may present its fund number, Quotron(registered trademark)
number, CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

Each class of shares may quote its performance in advertising and other
types of literature as compared to certificates of deposit (CDs),
bank-issued money market instruments, and money market mutual funds.
Unlike CDs and bank-issued money market instruments, money market mutual
funds and both classes of shares are not insured by the FDIC.
According to the Investment Company Institute, over the past ten years,
assets in fixed-income funds increased from $ 26 billion in
198 4 to approximately $ 389 billion at the end of 1993.
As of November, 1993, FMR managed approximately $ 100
mi llion in fixed -income funds assets, as defined and tracked by
Lipper. From time to time the Fund may compare FMR's fixed-income assets
under management with that of other investment advis e rs.
VOLATILITY. Various measures of volatility and benchmark correlation
may be quoted in advertising. In addition, each class may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to compare
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.
MOVING AVERAGES. Performance may be illustrated using moving averages.
A long-term moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing
NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of
each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. Moving Average
Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business
day of each week with moving averages for a specified period to produce
indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below
its moving average. On November 26, 1993, the 13-week and 39-week
long-term moving averages were $11.21 and $10.87, respectively.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate each class' price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the
percentage change in price movements over that period.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the 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, each class'
adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
DURATION. Duration is a measure of volatility commonly used in the bond
market. Bonds with long durations are more volatile, or interest rate
sensitive, than bonds with short durations. (Interest rate sensitivity is
the magnitude of the change in a bond's price for a given change in a
bond's yield to maturity.) Duration also can be calculated for other fixed
income securities, or for portfolios of fixed income securities.
Unlike the maturity of a bond, which reflects only the time remaining
until the final principal payment is made to the bondholders, duration
reflects all of the coupon payments made to bondholders during the life of
the bond, as well as the final principal payment made when the bond
matures. More precisely, duration is the weighted average time remaining
for the payment of all cash flows generated by a bond, with the weights
being the present value of these cash flows. Present values are calculated
using the bond's yield to maturity.
Because there is only one payment to take into account, the duration of a
bond that pays all of its interest at maturity (a zero coupon security) is
the same as its maturity. The duration of a coupon bearing security will
be shorter than its maturity, however, because of the effect of its regular
interest payments. Generally, bonds with lower coupons or longer
maturities will have longer durations, and thus be more volatile, than
otherwise similar bonds with higher coupons or shorter maturities.
When the Fund invests in mortgage-backed securities, callable corporate
bonds or other bonds with imbedded options, there is a degree of
uncertainty regarding the timing of these securities' cash flows. As a
result, in order to calculate the durations of these securities, forecasts
of their probable cash flow patterns must be made. These forecasts require
various assumptions to be made as to future interest rate levels and, for
example, mortgage prepayment rates. Because duration calculations for
these types of securities are based in part on assumptions, duration
figures may not be precise and may change as economic conditions change.
The Fund's duration on November 30, 1993 was 3.5 years.
E xamples of the effects of periodic investment plans, including the
principle of dollar - cost - averaging , may be advertised .
In such a program, the investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a
portfolio 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 nor guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of
shares had been 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.
Each class of 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, an initial
$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.
HISTORICAL PORTFOLIO RESULTS. The chart on the following page
s how s the income and capital elements of the Fund's
year-by-year total return from February 2, 1984, (commenced
operations) through November 30, 1993. The chart compares the Fund's
return to the record of the S&P 500, the DJIA, and the cost of living
measured by the CPI over the same period. The comparisons to the S&P
500 and the DJIA show how the Fund's total return compared to the record of
a broad average of common stock prices, and a narrower set of stocks of
major industrial companies, respectively. The Fund has the ability to
invest in securities not included in either index, and its investment
portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the indices. The
S&P 500 and DJIA are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks
and, unlike the Fund's returns, their returns do not include the effect of
paying brokerage commissions and other costs of investing.
During the period from February 2, 1984 through November 30, 1993, a
hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund (currently Fidelity Advisor
Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund)* would have grown to $ 27,794 ,
assuming all distributions were reinvested. This was a period of widely
fluctuating bond prices and interest rates, and the table below should not
necessarily be considered a representation of the income or capital gain or
loss that could be realized from an investment in the Fund today.

* Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund became effective on September 10,
1992. The chart above is based on Fidelity Advisor Institutional Limited
Term Bond Fund only. Had Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund been in
operation during the period from February 2, 1984 through November 30,
1993, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Fidelity Advisor Limited Term
Bond Fund would have grown to $26,276 including the effect of the
maximum 4.75% sales charge and revised 12b-1 and transfer agent fees
effective September 10, 1992, and assuming all distributions were
reinvested.
** February 2, 1984 (commencement of operations) - November 30, 1984.
EXPLANATORY NOTES: With an initial investment of $10,000 made on February
2, 1984, the net amount invested in Fund shares was $10,000. The cost of
the initial investment ($10,000), together with the aggregate cost of
reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the period covered
(that is, their cash value at the time they were reinvested), amounted to
$25,573 . If distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of
distributions earned from the Fund over time would have been smaller, and
the cash payments for the period would have come to $ 9,291 for
income dividends and $ 240 for capital gain distributions. Tax
consequences of different investments have not been factored into the above
figures.

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The Fund is open for business and the NAV is calculated each day the NYSE
is open for trading. The NYSE has designated the following holiday
closings for 1994: Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day
(observed ), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
Day (observed). Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule, with
the addition of New Year's Day , to be observed in the future, the NYSE
may modify its holiday schedule at any time. On any day that the NYSE
closes early, or as permitted by the SEC, the right is reserved to advance
the time on that day by which purchase and redemption orders must be
received. To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other
markets on days when the NYSE is closed, NAV may be affected on days
when investors do not have access to the Fund to purchase or redeem shares.
Certain Fidelity funds may follow different holiday closing schedules.
If the Trustees determine the existing conditions make cash payments
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 NAV. Shareholders receiving any such securities or other
property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for all purposes, and
will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 (the Rule) under the 1940 Act, the Fund is required
to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or
modifying the Fund's exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60 day
notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a
modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the time of
exchange, or (ii) the Fund su spends the offering of shares as
permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, or
the fund to be acquired suspends the sale of its shares because it is
unable to invest amounts effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies.
In the Prospectus , th e Fund has notified shareholders that it
reserves the right at any time without prior notice to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the Fund would be
unable to invest amounts effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
PURCHASE INFORMATION
As provided for in Rule 22d-1 under the 1940 Act, Distributors exercises
its right to waive the maximum sales charge in connection with the Fund's
merger with or acquisition of any investment company or trust.
NET ASSET VALUE PURCHASES. Sales charges do not apply to shares of the
Fund purchased: (1) by registered representatives, bank trust officers and
other employees (and their immediate families) of investment professionals
having agreements with Distributors; (2) by a current or former Trustee or
officer of a Fidelity fund or a current or retired officer, director or
full-time employee of FMR Corp. or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a
"Fidelity Trustee or employee"), the spouse of a Fidelity Trustee or
employee, a Fidelity Trustee or employee acting as custodian for a minor
child, or a person acting as trustee of a trust for the sole benefit of the
minor child of a Fidelity Trustee or employee; (3) by a charitable
organization (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code)
investing $100,000 or more; (4) by a charitable remainder trust or life
income pool established for the benefit of a charitable organization (as
defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code); (5) by trust

their own behalf or on behalf of their clients; (6) in accounts as to
which a bank or broker-dealer charges an investment management fee,
provided the bank or broker-dealer has an agreement with Distributors; (7)
as part of an employee benefit plan (including Fidelity-Sponsored 403(b)
and Corporate IRA programs, but otherwise as defined in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)), maintained by a U.S. Employer
having more than 200 eligible employees, or a minimum of $1,000,000
invested in Fidelity Advisor mutual funds and the assets of which are
held in a bona fide trust for the exclusive benefit of employees
participating therein; (8) in a Fidelity or Fidelity Advisor IRA account
purchase with the proceeds of a distribution from an employee benefit plan
that is part of (i) an employee benefit plan having more than 200 eligible
employees or a minimum of $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in Fidelity
mutual funds or $1,000,000 invested in Fidelity Advisor mutual funds or
(ii) an insurance company separate account qualifying under (9) below, or
funding annuity contracts purchased by employee benefit plans which in the
aggregate have at least $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in Fidelity
mutual funds; (9) by an insurance company separate account used to fund
annuity contracts purchased by employee benefit plans (including 403(b)
programs, but otherwise as defined in ERISA), which, in the aggregate, have
either more than 200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3,000,000 in
assets invested in Fidelity mutual funds or a minimum of $1,000,000
invested in Fidelity Advisor mutual funds; or (10) by any state, county, or
city, or any governmental instrumentality, department, authority or agency;
and (11) with redemption proceeds from other mutual fund complexes on which
the investor has paid a front-end sales charge only. A sales load waiver
form must accompany these transactions.
Distributors compensates securities dealers and banks having
agreements with Distributors (investment professionals), who sell shares
according to the schedule in the prospectus. Distributors may, at its
expense, provide promotional incentives to investment professionals who
support the sale of shares of the Fund without reimbursement from the Fund.
In some instances, these incentives will be offered only to certain
investment professionals such as bank affiliated or non-bank affiliated
broker-dealers whose representatives provide services in connection
with the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares .
Distributors compensates investment professionals with a fee of .25% on
purchases of $1 million or more, except for purchases made through a bank
or bank-affiliated broker-dealer that qualify for a Sales Charge Waiver
described in the Fund's prospectus. All assets on which the .25% fee is
paid must remain within the Fidelity Advisor Funds (including shares
exchanged into Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund) for a
period of one uninterrupted year or the investment professional will be
required to refund this fee to Distributors. Purchases by insurance
company separate accounts will qualify for the .25% fee only if an
insurance company's client relationship underlying the separate account
exceeds $1 million. It is the responsibility of the insurance company to
maintain records of purchases by any such client relationship.
Distributors may request records evidencing any fees payable through this
program.
QUANTITY DISCOUNTS. Reduced sales charges are applicable to purchases of
$50,000 or more of the Fund alone or in combination with purchases of
shares of other certain Fidelity Advisor Funds made at any one time
(including Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund shares acquired
by exchange from any Fidelity Advisor Fund with a sales charge ). To
obtain the reduction of the sales charge, you or your investment
professional must notify the Transfer Agent at the time of purchase
whenever a quantity discount is applicable to your purchase. Upon such
notification, you will receive the lowest applicable sales charge.
In addition to investing at one time in any combination of funds in an
amount entitling you to a reduced sales charge, you may qualify for a
reduction in the sales charge under the following programs:
COMBINED PURCHASES. When you invest for several accounts at the same
time, you may combine these investments into a single transaction to
qualify for the quantity discount if purchased through one investment
professional, and if the total is at least $50,000. The following may
qualify for this privilege: an individual, or "company" as defined in
Section 2(a)(8) of the 1940 Act; an individual, spouse, and their children
under age 21 purchasing for his, her, or their own account; a trustee,
administrator or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust estate or
single fiduciary account or for a single or a parent-subsidiary group of
"employee benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA); and
tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. Your "Rights of Accumulation" permit reduced
sales charges on any future purchases after you have reached a new
breakpoint in the sales charge schedule (see the prospectus
for the sales charge schedule). You can add the value of existing Fidelity
Advisor Fund shares (including Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money
Fund shares acquired by exchange from any Fidelity Advisor Fund), held by
you, your spouse, and your children under age 21 determined at the previous
day's NAV at the close of business, to the amount of your new purchase
valued at the current offering price to determine your reduced sales
charge.
LETTER OF INTENT. If you anticipate purchasing $50,000 or more of
shares alone or in c ombination with shares of certain other
Fidelity Advisor Funds (excluding Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt
Money Fund) within a 13-month period, you may obtain shares of the
f unds at the same reduced sales charge as though the total quantity
were invested in one lump sum, by filing a nonbinding Letter of Intent (the
Letter) within 90 days of the start of the purchases. Each investment you
make after signing the Letter will be entitled to the sales charge
applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. For example, a
$2,500 purchase toward a $50,000 Letter would receive the same reduced
sales charge as if the $50,000 had been invested at one time. To ensure
that the reduced price will be received on future purchases, you or your
investment professional must inform the Transfer Agent that the Letter is
in effect each time shares are purchased. Neither income dividends nor
capital gain distributions taken in additional shares will apply toward the
completion of the Letter.
Your initial investment must be at least 5% of the total amount you plan
to invest. Out of the initial purchase, 5% of the dollar amount specified
in the Letter will be registered in your name and held in escrow. The
shares held in escrow cannot be redeemed or exchanged until the Letter is
satisfied or the additional sales charges have been paid. You will earn
income dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed shares. The
escrow will be released when your purchase of the total amount has been
completed. You are not obligated to complete the Letter.
If you purchase more than the amount specified in the Letter and qualify
for a further sales charge reduction, the sales charge will be adjusted to
reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months. Surplus funds will be
applied to the purchase of additional shares at the then current offering
price applicable to the total purchase.
If you do not complete your purchase under the Letter within the 13-month
period , 30 days written notice will be provided for you to pay the
increased sales charge due, otherwise sufficient escrowed shares will
be redeemed to pay such charge.
FIDELITY ADVISOR S YSTEMATIC INVESTMENT P ROGRAM . You can
make regular investments in the Fund or certain other
Fidelity Advisor Funds with the Systematic Investment P rogram by
completing the appropriate section of the account application and attaching
a voided personal check with your bank's magnetic ink coding number across
the front. If your bank account is jointly owned, be sure that all owners
sign. Investments may be made monthly by automatically deducting $100 or
more from your bank checking account. You may change the amount of your
monthly purchase at any time. There is a $1,000 minimum initial investment
requirement for S ystematic I nvestment Programs .
Your account will be drafted on or about the first business day of every
month. Shares will be purchased at the offering price next determined
following receipt of the order by the Transfer Agent. You may cancel the
Systematic Investment option at any time without payment of a cancellation
fee. You will receive a confirmation from the Transfer Agent for every
transaction, and a debit entry will appear on your bank statement.
EXCHANGE INFORMATION
FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEMATIC EXCHANGE P ROGRAM . With the Systematic
Exchange P rogram , you can exchange a specific dollar amount from the
Fund shares into certain other Fidelity Advisor Fund s on a
monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis under the following
conditions:
1. The account from which the exchanges are to be processed must have a
minimum value of $10,000 before you may elect to begin exchanging
systematically. The account into which the exchanges are to be processed
must be an existing account with a minimum balance of $1,000.
2. Both accounts must have identical registrations and taxpayer
identification numbers. The minimum amount to be exchanged systematically
varies by Fund. The minimum amount to be exchanged systematically into
Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund or Fidelity Advisor U.S. Government
Income Fund is $100.
3. Systematic Exchanges will be processed at the NAV determined on the
transaction date, except that Systematic Exchanges into a Fidelity Advisor
Fund from any money market fund will be processed at the offering price
next determined on the transaction date, unless the shares were acquired by
exchange from another Fidelity Advisor Fund.
REDEMPTION INFORMATION
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you have redeemed all or part of your shares
you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption
proceeds in the Fund or in any of the other Fidelity Advisor Funds, at the
NAV next determined after receipt of your investment order, without a sales
charge, provided that such reinvestment is made within 30 days of
redemption. You must reinstate your shares into an account with the
same registration. This privilege may be exercised only once by a
shareholder with respect to the Fund.
FIDELITY ADVISOR S YSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL P ROGRAM . If you own
shares worth $10,000 or more, you can have monthly, quarterly or semiannual
checks sent from your account to you, to a person named by you, or to your
bank checking account. You may obtain information about the Systematic
Withdrawal P rogram by contacting your investment professional. Your
Systematic Withdrawal P rogram payments are drawn from share
redemptions. If Systematic Withdrawal P rogram redemptions exceed
income dividends earned on your shares, your account eventually may be
exhausted. Since a sales charge is applied on new shares you buy, it is to
your disadvantage to buy shares while also making systematic redemptions.
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 remained
uncashed for six months, the transfer agent may reinvest your
distributions at the then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will
be then reinvested until you provide the transfer agent with
alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. Because the Fund's income is derived from interest,
dividends from the Fund will not normally qualify for the
dividends received deduction available to corporat e
shareholders . A por tion of the Fund's income distributions
derived from certain U.S. government obligations, may be exempt from
state and local taxation. Gains (losses) attributable to foreign currency
fluctuations are generally taxable as ordinary income and therefore will
increase (decrease) dividend distributions.
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 that
the 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 less than six months 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. Distributions from
short-term capital gains do not qualify for the dividends-received
deduction.
As of November 30, 1993 the Fund had an unused capital loss carryover of
approximately $ 6,707,000 of which $ 5,673,000 and $1,034,000
w ill expire on November 30, 199 8 a nd 1999, respectively.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid 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 has qualified and intends to continue to
qualify as a " regulated investment company ", f or tax
purposes, so that it will not be liable for federal tax on the Fund
level 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, the Fund intends to distribute
substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital gains
within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis. The Fund also
intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment
companies, including a requirement that capital gains from the sale of
securities held for less than three months must 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.
The Fund is treated as a separate entity from other funds 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 of the Fund may be subject
to state and local taxes on distributions received from the Fund.
Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether the Fund
is suitable to their particular tax situation.

service. Currently, Messrs. Robert L. Johnson, William R. Spaulding,
Bertram H. Witham and David L. Yunich participate in the program.
As of December 31, 1993 the Trustees and officers owned, in the aggregate,
less than 1% of the Trust's outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES
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.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable
to FIIOC (for Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund), State Street (for
Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund), and to Service, the Fund pays all its
expenses, without limitation, that are not assumed by those parties. The
Fund pays for typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy material to
shareholders, legal expenses, and its proportionate share of the
fees of the Fund's custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees.
Although the Fund's Management Contract provides that the Fund will pay
for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of
additional information, and notices to existing shareholders, the Trust has
entered into a revised transfer agency agreement with FIIOC. FIIOC bears
the cost of providing these services to existing shareholders. Other
expenses paid by the Fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
the Fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal and state
securities laws. The Fund is also liable for such non-recurring 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 its officers and Trustees
with respect to litigation.
FMR is the Fund's manager pursuant to a management contract dated January
29, 1989 , which was approved by shareholders on November 15, 1988 .
For the services of FMR under the contract, the Fund pays FMR a monthl y
fee composed of the sum of two elements: a group fee rate and an
individual fund fee rate.
COMPUTING THE BASIC FEE. The group fee rate is based on the
monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies
with which FMR has management contracts and is calculated on a cumulative
basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown on the left. On
the right, the effective fee rate schedules are the results of cumulatively
applying the annualized rates at varying asset levels. For example, the
effective annual fee rate at $ 226 billion of average group net
assets - their approximate level for November 1993 -was .1627 ,
which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of
group net assets up to $ 226 billion.

* The rates shown for average group assets in excess of $120 billion were
adopted by FMR on a voluntary basis on January 1, 1992. Rates in excess of
$174 billion were adopted by FMR on a voluntary basis on November 1, 1993.
Each was adopted pending shareholder approval of a new management contract
reflecting the extended schedule. The extended schedule provides for lower
management fees as total assets under management increase.
The individual fund fee rate is .25%. Based on the average group
net assets of funds advised by FMR for November 1993, the annual
fee rate would be calculated as follows:
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Basic Fee Rate

.1627% + .25% = .4127%

One - twelfth (1/12) of this annual basic fee rate is
applied to the Fund' s net assets averaged for the most
recent month, giving a dollar amount, which is the fee for that month.
Prior to January 1, 1989, the Fund paid FMR a monthly management fee at an
annual rate of .45% of its average net assets determined at the close of
business on each day throughout the month. Effective January 1, 1989, FMR
voluntarily agreed to collect its basic fee according to the schedule shown
above (minus the breakpoints added January 1, 1992 and November 1,
1993 ). With the exception of changing the group fee rate schedule, the
terms of the current contract are identical to those of the prior contract.

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 1993, 1992, and 1991, FMR
received $818,426, $963,611 and $1,405,168, respectively, for its
services as investment adviser to the Fund. These fees were equivalent to
.42%, .42%, and .43%, respectively, of the average net assets of the Fund
for each of those years.
To comply with the California Code of Regulations, FMR will reimburse a
class of shares of the Fund if and to the extent that the class' aggregate
annual operating expenses exceed specified percentages of its average net
assets. The applicable percentages are 2 1/2% of the first $30 million, 2%
of the next $70 million, and 1 1/2% of average net assets in excess of $100
million. When calculating the Fund's expenses for purposes of this
regulation, the Fund may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
and extraordinary expenses, as well as a portion of its distribution plan
expenses and custodian fees attributable to investments in foreign
securities.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to voluntarily reimburse the Fund of
shares for expenses above a specified percentage of average net assets. FMR
retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the
amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal
year. Reimbursements or expense limitations by FMR will increase a class'
yield and total return. Reimbursements by a class will lower its yield and
total return.
SUB-ADVISERS. On December 1, 1990, FMR entered into sub-advisory
agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East pursuant to which FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East supply FMR with investment research and recommendations
concerning foreign securities for the benefit of the Fund.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of FMR, were
formed in 1986 and registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 on
May 11, 1987 to research and to make recommendations with respect to
companies located outside of North America.
The sub-advisory agreements provide that FMR, and not the Fund, pays fees
to FMR U.K. and FMR Far East equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR
U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with each agreement,
said costs to be determined in relation to the assets of the Fund that
benefit from the services of the sub-advisers.
FIIOC is transfer and shareholder servicing agent for Fidelity Advisor
Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund. Under its contract with the Fund,
FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent
services, and FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing and mailing
of prospectuses, statements of additional information, reports, notices and
statements to shareholders. Effective January 1, 1993, FIIOC is paid a per
account fee of $95 and a monetary transaction fee or $20 or $17.50
depending on the nature of the services provided. From June 1, 1990 until
December 31, 1992, FIIOC was paid a per account fee and a monetary
transaction fee of $65 and $14, or $60 and $12, respectively. Prior to
June 1, 1990, FIIOC was paid a per account fee and a monetary transaction
fee of $40 and $11.50, respectively, or $25 and $5, respectively. Fees for
institutional retirement plan accounts, if any, are based on the net asset
value of all such accounts in Fidelity Advisor Institutional Limited Term
Bond Fund.
Transfer agent and out-of-pocket expenses for the Fidelity Advisor
Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund for the fiscal years ended November
30, 1993, 1992, and 1991, amounted to $ 180,350 , $104,717, and
$186,896, respectively.
State Street is transfer and shareholder servicing agent for Fidelity
Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund. State Street has delegated certain
transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder services to FIIOC. Under a
revised fee arrangement effective January 1, 1993, the Fund pays a per
account fee and a monetary transaction fee of $30 and $6, respectively.
For accounts that FIIOC maintains on behalf of State Street, FIIOC receives
all such fees. For accounts as to which FIIOC provides limited services,
FIIOC may receive a portion (currently $20 and $6, respectively) of related
per account fees and monetary transaction fees, less applicable charges and
expenses of State Street for account maintenance and transactions.
Service, an affiliate of FMR, performs the calculations necessary to
determine the fund's NAV and dividends and maintain the Fund's accounting
records. Prior to July 1, 1991, the annual fee for these pricing and
bookkeeping services was based on two schedules, one pertaining to the
Fund's average net assets, and one pertaining to the type and number of
transactions made. The fee rates in effect as of July 1, 1991 are based on
the Fund's average net assets, specifically, .04% for the first $500
million of average net assets and .02% for average net assets in excess of
$500 million. The fee is limited to a minimum of $45, 000 and a maximum of
$750,000 per year. Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including related
out-of-pocket expenses, paid to Service for fiscal 1993, 1992, and 1991
were $81,106, $97,683, and $117, 716, respectively. For the fiscal
years ended November 30, 1993, 1992 and 1991, there were no fees paid to
Service for securities lending.
THE DISTRIBUTOR
The Fund has a General Distribution Agreement with Distributors, a
Massachusetts corporation organized on July 18, 1960. Distributors,
located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, 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 General
Distribution Agreement calls for Distributors to use all reasonable
efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for
shares of the Fund which are offered continuously. Promotional and
administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are
paid by Distributors. Distributors also acts as general distributor for
other publicly offered Fidelity funds. The expenses of these operations
are borne by FMR or Distributors.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
The Trustees of the Trust on behalf of each class of the Fund's shares
have adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (each Plan) under Rule 12b-1of
the 1940 Act (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 mutual
fund except pursuant to a plan adopted by the mutual fund under the Rule.
The Trustees have adopted the Plans to assure that each class and FMR may
incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment of distribution expenses by the class. Under the Plan, if the
payment by a class to FMR of management fees should be deemed to be
indirect financing of the distribution of that class' shares, such payment
is authorized by the Plan.
Each Plan also specifically recognizes that FMR, either directly or through
Distributors, 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 Fun d's
classes . In addition, each Plan provides that FMR may use its
resources, including its management fee revenues, to make payments to third
parties that provide assistance in selling shares of a class, or to third
parties, including banks, that render shareholder support services. For
the fiscal year ended November 30, 1993, FMR did not make any such payments
on behalf of either class.
In addition, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund pays to
Distributors a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to .40% (currently
at .25%) of its average net assets determined as of the close of business
on each day throughout the month, but excluding assets attributable to
shares purchased more than 144 months prior to such day. This distribution
fee is an expense of Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund, not by
individual accounts.
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1993, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term
Bond Fund paid distribution fees to Distributors of $56,220,
all of which was retained by Distributors.
Each Plan has been approved by the Trustees. As required by the Rule, the
Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the
implementation of each Plan prior to its approval, and have determined that
there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit each
class and its shareholders. To the extent that the Plan gives FMR and
Distributors greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of
shares of each class of the Fund, additional sales of the class'
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. Fidelity Advisor
Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund's Plan was approved by shareholders on
September 29, 1987.
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, in Distributors'
opinion it should not prohibit banks from being paid for shareholder
servicing and recordkeeping functions. Distributors intends to engage
banks to perform only 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 a 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.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund is a fund 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. Currently, there are two classes of a single series of
shares, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund and Fidelity Adviser
Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund. 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. The Declaration of Trust permits the
Trustees to create additional portfolios. In the event that FMR ceases to
be the investment advisor to the Trust or a Fund, the right of the Trust or
Fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity" may be withdrawn.
As of December 31 , 1993, the following owned of record or
beneficially 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Fidelity Advisor
Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund: First National Bank of Ohio,
Akron, OH; Hawkeye Bank & Trust, Des Moines, IA; First National Bank of
Commerce, New Orleans, LA; Amivest Corporation, New York, NY; and First
Union National Bank, Charlotte, NC.
As of December 31 , 1993, the following owned of record or
beneficially 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Fidelity Advisor
Limited Term Bond Fund: Royal Alliance Associates, Inc., Birmingham,
AL; NFSC, New York, NY; Financial Network Invest. Corp., Torrance, CA;
Allegheny Investment Ltd., Pittsburgh, PA; and, A.G. Edwards & Sons,
St. Louis, MO.
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 each fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each 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 a 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. Claims asserted against Fidelity Advisor Institutional
Limited Term Bond Fund may subject Fidelity Adviser Limited Term Bond Fund
shareholders to certain liabilities.
VOTING RIGHTS. The Fund's capital consists of two classes of
shares of beneficial interest, Fidelity Advisor Institutional Limited Term
Bond Fund and Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund. 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 class'
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 or a Fund or of a class of shares of
a fund may, as set forth in the Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the
Trust or a Fund or of a class of shares of a fund for any purpose related
to the Trust or Fund or of a class of shares of a fund, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a meeting of the entire Trust, the purpose of
voting on removal of one or more Trustees. The Trust or any 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 Trust or the fund. If not so terminated, the Trust and its funds 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. Coopers & Lybrand , One Post Office Square,
Boston, Massachusetts serves as the Trust's independent accountant. The
auditor examines financial statements for the Fund and provides other
audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund Annual Report for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1993 , a separate report supplied with
this SAI, is incorporated herein by reference. The Fidelity Advisor
Institutional Limited Term Bond Fund Annual Report is a separate report and
is incorporated into the Fidelity Advisor Institutional Limited Term Bond
Fund's Prospectus.
APPENDIX
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY for the Fund 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 COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS:
Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1
repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following
characteristics:
Leading market positions in well established industries.
(bullet) High rates of return on funds employed.
(bullet) Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on
debt and ample asset protection.
(bullet) Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and
with high internal cash generation.
(bullet) Well established access to a range of financial markets and
assured sources of alternate liquidity.
Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will
normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a
lesser degree. Earning trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be
more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still
appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate
liquidity is maintained.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S COMMERCIAL PAPER

payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be denoted with a plus (+)
sign designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Shareholder:
Once the new year begins, many people start reviewing their finances and
calculating their tax bills. No one wants to pay more taxes than they have
to. But a recent survey of 500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and
Yankelovich Partners, showed that few people have taken steps to reduce
their taxes under the new legislation. Many were not even aware that the
new tax laws were retroactive to January 1993.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill will increase as a result of
these changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you
earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions - before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a
disciplined savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings
tax-deferred, and immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a
year and contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual
contribution is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if
you're in the 28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in Federal taxes. In
addition, you pay no taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider tax-free investments like municipal bonds and municipal
bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields than comparable
taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36% Federal income
tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment yielding 7%, you'll
pay $252 in Federal taxes and receive $448 in income. That same $10,000
invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would allow you to keep $550
in income.
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help
with your investments.
Wishing you a prosperous new year,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman

MARKET RECAP
By December 1, 1992, the bond market had gotten over the jitters tied to
the unknown plans of a newly-elected president, and begun a year of sharp
gains tied to low inflation, falling interest rates and slow growth in the
U.S. economy. Through December and into the new year, the market signaled
its approval of Mr. Clinton's plans to tackle the budget deficit and fight
inflation. The yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond fell from 7.57%
on December 1 to 6.73% on March 8, 1993. After a brief inflation scare in
late spring, bond investors focused on continued high unemployment and slow
growth, and interest rates resumed their downward trend. The yield on the
30-year Treasury dropped below 6% in early September, and hit a three
decade low in mid-October, yielding 5.79%. Soon after, strengthening
economic numbers fueled more nervousness over inflation. Interest rates
rose in late October and into November, driving bond prices down and
dampening results for the year, overall. However, the Lehman Brothers
Government Treasury Long Term Index shows long-term Treasuries returned a
strong 20.08% for the 12 months ended November 30, 1993. Corporate junk
bonds - which benefited from a strengthening economy - rose 18.58%, as
measured by the Salomon Brothers Composite High Yield Index. Mortgage
securities continued to lag other fixed-income investments, reflecting the
impact of mortgage refinancing by millions of homeowners. The Salomon
Brothers Mortgage Index rose 7.53%. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index, a broad measure of bond performance, returned 10.89% for the year.
Globally, falling interest rates and low inflation fueled strong returns in
both developed countries and, more notably, in emerging markets. The
Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index - which includes U.S. issues -
rose 12.99% for the year. The J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index was up
39.11%.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
MICHAEL GRAY,
PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF
FIDELITY ADVISOR LIMITED TERM BOND FUND
Q. MICHAEL, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. The fund's total return - which includes income and changes
in share price - was 12.50% for the year ended November 30, 1993. That
performance beat the numbers for the average intermediate investment grade
bond fund, which returned 10.74% for the year, according to Lipper
Analytical Services.
Q. TO WHAT DO YOU CREDIT THE STRONG RETURNS?
A. A few factors. First, over most of this year, I made sure the fund's
duration - which measures its sensitivity to interest rate changes -
remained on the long side. This meant buying bonds - in this case
Treasuries - with long maturities to take better advantage of the falling
interest rates we saw this year. These bonds gain more in price than
shorter issues when rates drop. For example, at the end of August the
fund's duration was quite long at 5.3 years, which means for every one
percentage point drop in interest rates, the share price of the fund would
have risen roughly 5.3%. Conversely, if interest rates had risen one
percentage point, the share price would have dropped about 5.3%. Because we
experienced falling interest rates this year, my plan worked.
Q. WHAT ELSE HELPED?
A. To help offset some of the risk of holding longer bonds, I also employed
what's called a "barbell strategy." As I gathered long-term bonds - those
with maturities of 10 years or more - I invested most of the remainder of
the fund's money in short-term issues - those with maturities of less than
three years - with very few in between. This strategy worked because the
yield curve flattened - that is, the difference between long- and
short-term interest rates narrowed. The fund made significant price gains
on the longer-term issues and reduced risk with the shorter-term bonds.
Finally, the fund had quite a large stake - 32.3% - in corporate bonds.
Generally, these issues offered higher yields than U.S. Treasury bonds of
similar maturities. About 7.5% of our corporates were in banks, which
returned high yields when credit quality improved in the banking sector.
Q. THE FUND'S AVERAGE DURATION ROSE FROM 4.8 YEARS IN MAY TO 5.3 YEARS IN
AUGUST. THEN, BY THE END OF NOVEMBER, YOU HAD SHORTENED THE DURATION TO 3.5
YEARS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE CHANGES?
A. I've been very optimistic about the bond market all year, but lately
I've turned a bit defensive. As I mentioned, when interest rates were
falling, I lengthened the duration to achieve more dramatic gains as bond
prices rose. Right now, I'm concerned about a short-term rise in inflation,
which could send rates up a little. I've shortened the duration, which
means if rates go up, the fund's share price won't drop as much as it would
if the duration were longer.
Q. OVERSEAS INVESTING HAS BEEN A NOTICEABLE TREND AMONG MUTUAL FUND
MANAGERS LATELY. HAVE YOU JOINED IN?
A. Definitely. I had 26.7% of the fund's investments overseas at the end of
November. The fund's foreign investments break down about evenly between
dollar-denominated securities and non-dollar denominated securities. When a
foreign entity issues debt in the U.S. market in U.S. dollars, that
dollar-denominated debt is called a Yankee Bond. Obviously, there is no
currency risk - the risk that changes in the relationship of a foreign
country's currency to the U.S. dollar would adversely affect the prices of
the bonds I hold. Conversely, when I buy bonds issued by a foreign company
or country in that country's own currency, they're non-dollar denominated.
On that end, short-term issues from the Mexican government, called Cetes,
have produced double-digit returns for the fund. That more than offset
their currency risk. Lately, I've cut back on Cetes for two reasons. First,
their yields have dropped substantially and are no longer as attractive.
Second, I was concerned about the vote on the North American Free Trade
Agreement. Over the last few months I felt, if NAFTA failed, the Mexican
economy might stumble in the short term. Now that Congress has passed
NAFTA, I'm increasing my Mexican investments, as I believe the pact will
have positive long-term economic effects for Mexico.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. According to all forecasts, the fourth quarter should be strong
economically. This has already started to produce a slight inflation scare,
but I think inflation will remain low - in the 2 to 2 1/2% range - in the
coming months. I expect the economy may grow slowly in 1994. The Clinton
tax hike and health-care plan may put a heavier economic burden on some
families and businesses. Slow growth and low inflation are favorable for
bonds, but if interest rates stabilize at a low level, we won't see the
price gains we've experienced over the last six months. So it could be
tough to produce the returns the fund realized in '93.

period then ended (Institutional Class) and for the year ended November 30,
1993 and for the period September 10, 1992 (commencement of sale of Retail
Class shares) to November 30, 1992 (Retail Class). These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of November 30, 1993 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Advisor Series IV: Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Bond Fund as
of November 30, 1993, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years
in the period then ended (Institutional Class) and for the year ended
November 30, 1993 and for the period September 10, 1992 (commencement of
sale of Retail Class shares) to November 30, 1992 (Retail Class), in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

FIDELITY ADVISOR FUNDS Exhibit 14(f)
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT
CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
UNDER SECTION 408(a)
OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
The Depositor whose name appears on the attached Application is
establishing an
individual retirement account (under Section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code) to provide for his or her retirement and for the support of his or
her
beneficiaries after death.
The Custodian named on the attached Application has given the Depositor the
Disclosure Statement required under the Income Tax Regulations under
Section
408(i) of the Code.
The Depositor has deposited with the Custodian an initial contribution in
cash,
as set forth in the attached Application.
The Depositor and the Custodian make the following Agreement:
ARTICLE I
The Custodian may accept additional cash contributions on behalf of the
Depositor for a tax year of the Depositor. The total cash contributions are
limited to $2,000 for the tax year unless the contribution is a rollover
contribution described in Section 402(c) of the Code (but only after
December
31, 1992), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3), or an employer contribution to
a
Simplified Employee Pension plan as described in Section 408(k). Rollover
contributions before January 1, 1993, include rollovers described in
Section
402(a)(5), 402(a)(6), 402(a)(7), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3), or an
employer contribution to a Simplified Employee Pension Plan as described in
Section 408(k).
ARTICLE II
The Depositor's interest in the balance in the Custodial Account is
nonforfeitable.
ARTICLE III
1. No part of the custodial funds may be invested in life insurance
contracts,
nor may the assets of the Custodial Account be commingled with other
property
except in a common trust fund or common investment fund (within the meaning
of
Section 408(a)(5) of the Code).
2. No part of the custodial funds may be invested in collectibles (within
the
meaning of Section 408(m) of the Code) except as otherwise permitted by
Section
408(m)(3), which provides an exception for certain gold and silver coins
and
coins issued under the laws of any state.
ARTICLE IV
1. Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement to the contrary, the
distribution of the Depositor's interest in the Custodial Account shall be
made
in accordance with the following requirements and shall otherwise comply
with
Section 408(a)(6) and Proposed Regulations Section 1.408-8, including the
incidental death benefit provisions of Proposed Regulations Section
1.401(a)(9)-2, the provisions of which are incorporated by reference.
2. Unless otherwise elected by the time distributions are required to begin
to
the Depositor under paragraph 3, or to the surviving spouse under paragraph
4,
other than in the case of a life annuity, life expectancies shall be
recalculated annually. Such election shall be irrevocable as to the
Depositor
and the surviving spouse and shall apply to all subsequent years. The life
expectancy of a nonspouse beneficiary may not be recalculated.
3. The Depositor's entire interest in the Custodial Account must be, or
begin
to be, distributed by the Depositor's required beginning date (April 1
following the calendar year end in which the Depositor reaches age 70 1/2).
By
that date, the Depositor may elect, in a manner acceptable to the
Custodian, to
have the balance in the Custodial Account distributed in:
(a) A single-sum payment.
(b) An annuity contract that provides equal or substantially equal
monthly,
quarterly, or annual payments over the life of the Depositor.
(c) An annuity contract that provides equal or substantially equal
monthly,
quarterly, or annual payments over the joint and last survivor lives of the
Depositor and his or her designated Beneficiary.
(d) Equal or substantially equal annual payments over a specified
period
that may not be longer than the Depositor's life expectancy.
(e) Equal or substantially equal annual payments over a specified
period
that may not be longer than the joint life and last survivor expectancy of
the
Depositor and his or her designated Beneficiary.
4. If the Depositor dies before his or her entire interest is distributed
to
him or her, the entire remaining interest will be distributed as follows:
(a) If the Depositor dies on or after distribution of his or her
interest
has begun, distribution must continue to be made in accordance with
paragraph
3.
(b) If the Depositor dies before distribution of his or her interest
has
begun, the entire remaining interest will, at the election of the Depositor
or,
if the Depositor has not so elected, at the election of the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries, either
(i) Be distributed by the December 31 of the year containing the
fifth anniversary of the Depositor's death, or
(ii) Be distributed in equal or substantially equal payments over
the
life or life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries
starting
by December 31 of the year following the year of the Depositor's death. If,
however, the Beneficiary is the Depositor's surviving spouse, then this
distribution is not required to begin before December 31 of the year in
which
the Depositor would have turned age 70 1/2.
(c) Except where distribution in the form of an annuity meeting the
requirements of Section 408(b)(3) and its related regulations has
irrevocably
commenced, distributions are treated as having begun on the Depositor's
required beginning date, even though payments may actually have been made
before that date.
(d) If the Depositor dies before his or her entire interest has been
distributed and if the Beneficiary is other than the surviving spouse, no
additional cash contributions or rollover contributions may be accepted in
the
account.
5. In the case of distribution over life expectancy in equal or
substantially
equal annual payments, to determine the minimum annual payment for each
year,
divide the Depositor's entire interest in the Custodial Account as of the
close
of business on December 31 of the preceding year by the life expectancy of
the
Depositor (or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Depositor
and
the Depositor's designated Beneficiary, or the life expectancy of the
designated Beneficiary, whichever applies). In the case of distributions
under
paragraph 3, determine the initial life expectancy (or joint life and last
survivor expectancy) using the attained ages of the Depositor and
designated
Beneficiary as of their birthdays in the year the Depositor reaches age 70
1/2.
In the case of a distribution in accordance with paragraph 4(b)(ii),
determine
life expectancy using the attained age of the designated Beneficiary as of
the
Beneficiary's birthday in the year distributions are required to commence.
6. The owner of two or more individual retirement accounts may use the
"alternative method" described in Notice 88-38, 1988-1 C.B. 524, to satisfy
the
minimum distribution requirements described above. This method permits an
individual to satisfy these requirements by taking from one individual
retirement account the amount required to satisfy the requirement for
another.
ARTICLE V
1. The Depositor agrees to provide the Custodian with information necessary
for
the Custodian to prepare any reports required under Section 408(i) of the
Code
and Regulations Sections 1.408-5 and 1.408-6.
2. The Custodian agrees to submit reports to the Internal Revenue Service
and
the Depositor prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.
ARTICLE VI
Notwithstanding any other articles which may be added or incorporated, the
provisions of Articles I through III and this sentence will be controlling.
Any
additional articles that are not consistent with Section 408(a) of the Code
and
the related regulations will be invalid.
ARTICLE VII
This Agreement will be amended from time to time to comply with the
provisions
of the Code and related regulations. Other amendments may be made with the
consent of the Depositor and the Custodian.

including,
without limitation, a copy reproduced by photocopying, facsimile
transmission,

designated as such by the Depositor on a signed form acceptable to and
filed
with the Custodian pursuant to Article VIII, Section 8 of this Agreement.
(f) "Broker" shall mean either a securities broker-dealer registered as

other
such shares issued by a money market mutual fund and which are permitted by
the
Custodian for investment under this Agreement.
2. BROKER. The Broker shall be appointed by the Depositor in the
Application as
his or her agent to execute such investment directions with respect to
Investment Company Shares as the Depositor may give under the terms of the
Custodial Account, including the execution of purchase and sale orders
through
the Company's proprietary remote trading system.
In all cases the Broker, and not the Custodian, shall have the
responsibility
for delivering to the Depositor all notices and prospectuses relating to
such
Investment Company Shares. To the extent that the Custodian delivers to the
Broker confirmations, statements and other notices with respect to the
Account,
any such communications delivered to the Broker shall be deemed to have

the
Company harmless from and against any losses, cost or expenses arising in
connection with the delivery or receipt of any such communication(s),
provided
the Custodian has acted in accordance with the above.
3. INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Contributions to the Account may be
invested
only in Investment Company Shares, and shall be invested as follows:
(a) General. Contributions will be invested in accordance with the
Depositor's written instructions in the Application, and with subsequent
instructions given by the Depositor or the Authorized Agent appointed by
the
Depositor (or, following the death of the Depositor, his or her
Beneficiary)
through the Broker to the Custodian in a manner acceptable to the
Custodian. By
giving such instructions to the Custodian, such person will be deemed to
have
acknowledged receipt of the then-current prospectus, if any, for any
Investment
Company Shares in which the Depositor (or the Authorized Agent appointed by
the
Depositor), through the Broker directs the Custodian to invest assets in
his or
her Account. All charges incidental to carrying out such instructions shall
be
charged and collected in accordance with Article VIII, Section 18. All
Investment Company Shares in the Custodial Account shall be held in the
name of
the Custodian or its nominee or nominees.
(b) Initial Contribution. The Custodian will invest all contributions
promptly after their receipt, as set forth below; provided, however, that
the
Custodian shall not be obligated to invest the Depositor's initial
contribution
to his Custodial Account as indicated on the Application, until at least
seven
(7) calendar days have elapsed from the date of acceptance of the
Application
by or on behalf of the Custodian.
(c) Unclear Instructions. If the Depositor's Custodial Account at any
time
contains cash as to which investment instructions in accordance with this
Section 3 have not been received by the Custodian, or if the Custodian
receives
instructions as to investment selection or allocation which are, in the
opinion
of the Custodian, not clear, the Custodian may request instructions from
the
Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor or
administrator). Pending receipt of such instructions any cash may be
invested
in Money Market Shares, and any other investment may remain unchanged. The
Custodian shall not be liable to anyone for any loss resulting from delay
in
investing such cash or in implementing such instructions. Notwithstanding
the
above, the Custodian may, but need not, for administrative convenience
maintain
a balance of up to $100 of uninvested cash in the Depositor's Custodial
Account.
(d) Minimum Investment. Any other provision hereof to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) may not direct that any part or
all of
the Custodial Account be invested in Investment Company Shares unless the
aggregate amount to be invested is at least such amount as the Custodian
shall
establish from time to time.
(e) No Duty. The Custodian shall not have any duty to question the
directions of a Depositor (or the Depositor's Broker, Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) in the investment of his or her
Custodial Account or to advise the Depositor or the Depositor's Broker
regarding the purchase, retention or sale of assets credited to the
Custodial
Account. The Custodian, or any of its affiliates, shall not be liable for
any
loss which results from the Depositor's (or the Depositor's Broker,
Authorized
Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) exercise of control
(whether by
his or her action or inaction) over the Custodial Account.
4. CONTRIBUTIONS BY DIVORCED OR SEPARATED SPOUSES. All alimony and separate
maintenance payments received by a divorced or separated spouse, and
taxable
under Section 71 of the Code, shall be considered compensation for purposes
of
computing the maximum annual contribution to the Custodial Account, and the
limitations for contributions by a divorced or separated spouse shall be
the
same as for any other individual.
5. TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS. A contribution is deemed to have been made on
the
last day of the preceding taxable year if the contribution is made by the
deadline for filing the Depositor's income tax return (not including
extensions), or such later date as may be determined by the Department of
the
Treasury or the IRS, provided the Depositor (or the Depositor's Broker or
Authorized Agent) designates, in a manner acceptable to the Custodian, the
contribution as a contribution for the preceding taxable year.
6. ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. The Custodian will accept for the Custodial
Account
all rollover contributions which consist of cash, and it may, but shall be
under no obligation to, accept all or any part of any other rollover
contribution. The Depositor shall designate each rollover contribution as
such
to the Custodian through the Broker, and by such designation shall confirm
to
the Custodian that a proposed rollover contribution qualifies as a rollover
contribution within the meaning of Sections 402(a)(5), 402(a)(6),
402(a)(7),
402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), and/or 408(d)(3) of the Code. Submission by
or on
behalf of a Depositor of a rollover contribution consisting of assets other
than cash or property permitted as an investment under this Article VIII
shall
be deemed to be the instruction of the Depositor to the Custodian that, if
such
rollover contribution is accepted, the Custodian will use its best efforts
to
sell those assets for the Depositor's account, and to invest the proceeds
of
any such sale in accordance with Section 3. To the extent permitted by law,
the
Custodian shall not be liable to anyone for any loss resulting from such
sale
or delay in effecting such sale; or for any loss of income or appreciation
with
respect to the proceeds thereof after such sale and prior to investment
pursuant to Section 3; or for any failure to effect such sale if such
property
proves not readily marketable in the ordinary course of business. All
brokerage
and other costs incidental to the sale or attempted sale of such property
will
be charged to the Custodial Account in accordance with Article VIII,
Section
18.
7. REINVESTMENT OF EARNINGS. In the absence of other instructions pursuant
to
Section 3, distributions of every nature received in respect of the assets
in a
Depositor's Custodial Account shall be reinvested as follows:
(a) in the case of a distribution in respect of Investment Company
Shares
which may be received, at the election of the shareholder, in cash or in
additional Shares of such Investment Company, the Custodian shall elect to
receive such distribution in additional Investment Company Shares;
(b) in the case of a cash distribution which is received in respect of
Investment Company Shares, the Custodian shall reinvest such cash in
additional
Shares of that Investment Company;
(c) in the case of any other distribution of any nature received in
respect
of assets in the Custodial Account, the distribution shall be liquidated to
cash, if necessary, and shall be reinvested in accordance with the
Depositor's
instructions pursuant to Section 3.
8. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. A Depositor may designate a Beneficiary as
follows:
(a) General. A Depositor may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries
at
any time, and any such designation may be changed or revoked at any time,
by
written designation signed by the Depositor on a form acceptable to, and
filed
with, the Custodian; provided, however, that such designation, or change or
revocation of a prior designation, shall not be effective unless it is
received
and accepted by the Custodian no later than thirty (30) days after the
death of
the Depositor, and provided further that the latest such designation or
change
or revocation shall control. If the Depositor had not by the date of his or
her
death properly designated a Beneficiary in accordance with the preceding
sentence, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Depositor, the
Depositor's Beneficiary shall be his or her surviving spouse, but if he or
she
has no surviving spouse, his or her estate. Unless otherwise specified in
the
Depositor's designation of Beneficiary, if a Beneficiary dies before
receiving
his or her entire interest in the Custodial Account, his or her remaining
interest in the Custodial Account shall be paid to the Beneficiary's
estate.
(b) Minors. If a distribution upon the death of the Depositor is
payable to
a person known by the Custodian to be a minor or otherwise under a legal
disability, the Custodian may, in its absolute discretion, make all, or any
part of the distribution to (a) a parent of such person, (b) the guardian,
conservator, or other legal representative, wherever appointed, of such
person,
(c) a custodial account established under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act,
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, or similar act, (d) any person having
control
or custody of such person, or (e) to such person directly.
(c) QTIPs and QDOTs. A Depositor may designate as Beneficiary of his or
her
Account a trust for the benefit of his or her surviving spouse that is
intended
to satisfy the conditions of Sections 2056(b)(7) or 2056A of the Code (a
"Spousal Trust"). In that event, if the Depositor is survived by his or her
spouse, the following provisions shall apply to the Account, from and after
the
death of the Depositor until the death of the Depositor's surviving spouse:
(1)
all of the income of the Account shall be paid to the Spousal Trust
annually or
at more frequent intervals, and (2) no person shall have the power to
appoint
any part of the Account to any person other than the Spousal Trust. To the
extent permitted by Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, as determined by the
trustee(s) of the Spousal Trust, the surviving spouse of a Depositor who
has
designated a Spousal Trust as his or her Beneficiary may be treated as his
or
her "designated beneficiary" for purposes of the distribution requirements
of
that Code section. The Custodian shall have no responsibility to determine
whether such treatment is appropriate.
(d) Judicial Determination. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, in the event of reasonable doubt respecting the proper
course
of action to be taken, the Custodian may in its sole and absolute
discretion
resolve such doubt by judicial determination which shall be binding on all
parties claiming any interest in the Account. In such event all court
costs,
legal expenses, reasonable compensation of time expended by the Custodian
in
the performance of its duties, and other appropriate and pertinent expenses
and
costs shall be collected by the Custodian from the Custodial Account in
accordance with Article VIII, Section 18.
(e) No Duty. The Custodian shall not have any duty to question the
directions of a Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary,
executor or administrator) as to the time(s) and amount(s) of distributions
from the Custodial Account, or to advise him or her regarding the
compliance of
such distributions with Section 401(a)(9), Section 2056(b)(7) or Section
2056A
of the Code.
9. PAYROLL DEDUCTION. Subject to approval of the Custodian and the Broker,
a
Depositor may choose to have contributions to his or her Custodial Account
made
through payroll deduction if the Account is maintained as part of a program
sponsored by the Depositor's employer. In order to establish payroll
deduction,
the Depositor must authorize his or her employer to deduct a fixed amount
from
each pay period's salary up to a total amount of $2,000 per year, unless
such
contributions are being made pursuant to a Simplified Employee Pension Plan
described under Section 408(k) of the Code, in which case, contributions
can be
made up to 15% of the Depositor's earned income, up to $30,000 per year.
Contribution's to the Custodial Account of the Depositor's spouse may be
made
through payroll deduction if the employer authorizes the use of payroll
deductions for such contributions, but such contributions must be made to a
separate Account maintained for the benefit of the Depositor's spouse. The
payroll deduction authorization shall continue in force until such time as
written amendment or revocation is received by the Depositor's employer and
the
Custodian with reasonable advance notice.
10. TRANSFERS TO OR FROM THE ACCOUNT. Assets held on behalf of the
Depositor in
another IRA may be transferred by the trustee or custodian thereof directly
to
the Custodian, in a form and manner acceptable to the Custodian, to be held
in
the Custodial Account for the Depositor under this Agreement. The Custodian
will not be responsible for any losses the Depositor may incur as a result
of
the timing of any transfer from another trustee or custodian that are due
to
circumstances reasonably beyond the control of the Custodian.
Assets held on behalf of the Depositor in the Account may be transferred
directly to a trustee or custodian of another IRA established for the
Depositor, if so directed by the Depositor in a form and manner acceptable
to
the Custodian; provided, however, that it shall be the Depositor's
responsibility to ensure that any minimum distribution required by Section
401(a)(9) of the Code is made prior to giving the Custodian such transfer
instructions.
11. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ACCOUNT. Subject to Section 13 below,
distributions
from the Account will be made only upon the request of the Depositor (or
the
Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) to
the
Custodian through the Broker in such form and in such manner as is
acceptable
to the Custodian. For distributions requested pursuant to Article IV, life
expectancy and joint life and last survivor expectancy are calculated based
on
information provided by the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) using the Expected Return
Multiples in
Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations. The Custodian shall not incur
any
liability for errors in such calculations as a result of reliance on
information provided by the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) or the Depositor's Broker. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian is not obligated to
make any distribution, including a minimum required distribution as
specified
in Article IV above, absent a specific written direction from the Depositor
(or
the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or administrator)
through the Broker to do so.
12. ACTIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. If the Custodian
receives
no response to communications sent to the Depositor (or the Depositor's
Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) at the
Depositor's
(or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or
administrator's) last known address as shown in the records of the
Custodian,
or if the Custodian determines, on the basis of evidence satisfactory to
it,
that the Depositor is legally incompetent, the Custodian thereafter may
make
such determinations with respect to distributions, investments, and other
administrative matters arising under this Agreement as it considers
reasonable,
notwithstanding any prior instructions or directions given by or on behalf
of
the Depositor. Any determinations so made shall be binding on all persons
having or claiming any interest under the Custodial Account, and the
Custodian
shall not incur any obligation or liability for any such determination made
in
good faith, for any action taken in pursuance thereof, or for any
fluctuations
in the value of the Account in the event of a delay resulting from the
Custodian's good faith decision to await additional information or
evidence.
13. RESPONSIBILITY AS TO CONTRIBUTIONS OR DISTRIBUTIONS. The Custodian will
not
under any circumstances be responsible for the timing, purpose or propriety
of
any contribution or of any distribution made hereunder, nor shall the
Custodian
incur any liability or responsibility for any tax imposed on account of any
such contribution or distribution. Notwithstanding Section 11 above, the
Custodian is empowered to make a distribution absent such an instruction if
directed to do so pursuant to a court order of any kind and neither the
Custodian nor the Company shall in such event incur any liability for
acting in
accordance with such court order.
14. WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTICES. All written notices or communications
required to be given by the Custodian to the Depositor shall be deemed to
have
been given when sent by mail to either the Broker or to the last known
address
of the Depositor in the records of the Custodian. All written instructions,
notices, or communications required to be given by the Depositor to the
Custodian shall be mailed or delivered to the Custodian at its designated
mailing address as specified on the Application, and no such instruction,
notice, or communication shall be effective until the Custodian's actual
receipt thereof.
15. EFFECT OF WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTICES. The Custodian shall be
entitled
to rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in any action or
non-action taken in good faith in reliance upon, any written instructions,
notices, communications or instruments believed to have been genuine and
properly executed. Any such notification may be proved by original copy or
reproduced copy thereof, including, without limitation, a copy produced by
photocopying, facsimile transmission, or electronic imaging. For this
purpose,
the Custodian may (but is not required to) give the same effect to a
telephonic
instruction as it gives to a written instruction, and the Custodian's
action in
doing so shall be protected to the same extent as if such telephonic
instructions were, in fact, a written instruction. Any such telephonic
instruction may be proved by audio recorded tape.
16. TAX MATTERS.
(a) General. The Custodian shall submit required reports to the IRS and
the
Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or
administrator); provided, however, that such individual shall prepare any
return or report required in connection with maintaining the Account, or as
a
result of liability incurred by the Account for tax on unrelated business
taxable income, or windfall profits tax.
(b) Annual Report. As soon as is practicable after the close of each
taxable year, and whenever required by the Code, the Custodian shall
deliver to
the Depositor a written report(s) reflecting receipts, disbursements and
other
transactions effected in the Custodial Account during such period and the
fair
market value of the assets and liabilities of the Custodial Account as of
the
close of such period in a manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service.
Unless the Depositor sends the Custodian written objection to a report
within
ninety (90) days of receipt, the Depositor shall be deemed to have approved
of
such report, and the Custodian and the Company, and their officers,
employees
and agents shall be forever released and discharged from all liability and
accountability to anyone with respect to their acts, transactions, duties
and
responsibilities as shown on or reflected by such report(s). The Company
shall
not incur any liability in the event the Custodian does not satisfy its
obligations as described herein.
(c) Withholding. Any distributions from the Custodial Account may be
made
by the Custodian net of any required tax withholding.
17. SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION. The interest of a Depositor in the Account shall
not
be transferred or assigned by voluntary or involuntary act of the Depositor
or
by operation of law; nor shall it be subject to alienation, assignment,
garnishment, attachment, receivership, execution or levy of any kind.
However,
this Section 17 shall not in any way be construed to, and the Custodian is
in
no way obligated or expected to, commence or defend any legal action in
connection with this Agreement or the Custodial Account. Commencement of
legal
action or proceeding or defense of such legal action or proceeding shall be
the
sole responsibility of the Depositor unless agreed upon by the Custodian
and
the Depositor, and unless the Custodian is fully indemnified for doing so
to
the Custodian's satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
of a
property settlement between a Depositor and his or her former spouse
pursuant
to which the transfer of a Depositor's interest hereunder, or a portion
thereof, is incorporated in a divorce decree or in a written instrument
incident to such divorce or legal separation, then the interest so decreed
by a
Court to be the property of such former spouse shall be transferred to a
separate Custodial Account for the benefit of such former spouse, in
accordance
with Section 408(d)(6) of the Code.
18. FEES AND EXPENSES.
(a) General. The fees of the Custodian for performing its duties
hereunder
shall be in such amount as it shall establish from time to time. All such
fees,
as well as expenses (such as, without limitation, brokerage commissions
upon
the investment of funds, fees for special legal services, taxes levied or
assessed, or expenses in connection with the liquidation or retention of
all or
part of a rollover contribution), shall be collected by the Custodian from
cash
available in the Custodial Account, or if insufficient cash shall be
available,
by sale of sufficient assets in the Custodial Account and application of
the
sales proceeds to pay such fees and expenses. Alternatively, but only with
the
consent of the Custodian, fees and expenses may be paid directly to the
Custodian by the Depositor by separate check.
(b) Advisor Fees. The Custodian shall, upon direction from the
Depositor,
disburse from the Custodial Account payment to the Depositor's registered
investment advisor of any fees for financial advisory services rendered
with
regard to the assets held in the Account. Such direction must be provided
in a
form and manner acceptable to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not
incur
any liability for executing such direction.
(c) Sale of Assets. Whenever it shall be necessary in accordance with
this
Section 18 to sell assets in order to pay fees or expenses, the Custodian
shall
request the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary,
executor, or administrator) to provide specific instructions. If such
instructions are not received by the Custodian within ten (10) business
days of
the Custodian's request, the Custodian may sell any or all of the assets
credited to the Custodial Account at that time, and shall invest the
portion of
the sales proceeds remaining after collection of the applicable fees and
expenses therefrom in accordance with Section 3. The Custodian shall not
incur
any liability on account of its sale or retention of assets under such
circumstances.
19. VOTING WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES. The Custodian shall mail to the
Depositor all prospectuses and proxies that may come into the Custodian's
possession by reason of its holding of Investment Company Shares or other
securities in the Custodial Account. A Depositor may direct the Custodian
as to
the manner in which any securities or Investment Company Shares held in the
Custodial Account shall be voted with respect to any matters as to which
the
Custodian as holder of record is entitled to vote, coming before any
meeting of
shareholders of the corporation which issued such securities, or of holders
of
interest in the Investment Company which issued such Investment Company
Shares.
All such directions shall be in writing on a form approved by the Custodian
and
signed by the Depositor, and delivered to the Custodian within the time
prescribed by it. The Custodian shall vote only those securities and Shares
with respect to which it has received timely written directions from the
Depositor.
20. LIMITATIONS ON CUSTODIAL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Depositor
and
the Custodian intend that the Custodian shall have and exercise no
discretion,
authority, or responsibility as to any investment in connection with the
Account and the Custodian shall not be responsible in any way for the
purpose,
propriety or tax treatment of any contribution, or of any distribution, or
any
other action or nonaction taken pursuant to the Depositor's direction or
that
of the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor or
administrator.
The Depositor who directs the investment of his or her Account shall bear
sole
responsibility for the suitability of any directed investment and for any
adverse consequences arising from such an investment, including, without
limitation, the inability of the Custodian to value or to sell an illiquid
investment, or the generation of unrelated business taxable income with
respect
to an investment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Depositor (or
the
Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor or administrator, as
appropriate) shall at all times fully indemnify and save harmless the
Custodian, the Company and their agents, affiliates, successors and assigns
and
their officers, directors and employees, from any and all liability arising
from the Depositor's investment direction under this Account, or from the
Broker's execution of such direction, and from any and all other liability
whatsoever which may arise in connection with this Agreement except
liability
arising under applicable law or liability arising from gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the indemnified person. Although the
Custodian shall have no responsibility to give effect to a direction from
anyone other than the Depositor (or the Depositor's Beneficiary, executor
or
administrator), the Custodian may, in its discretion, establish procedures
pursuant to which the Depositor may delegate to a third party any or all of
the
Depositor's powers and duties hereunder, provided, however, that in no
event
may anyone other than the Depositor execute the application by which this
Agreement is adopted or the form by which the Beneficiary is appointed, and
provided, further, that any such third party to whom the Depositor has so
delegated powers and duties shall be treated as the Depositor for purposes
of
applying the preceding sentences of this paragraph and the provisions of
Article VIII, Section 2.
21. DELEGATION TO AGENTS. The Custodian may delegate to one or more
corporations affiliated with the Custodian the performance of record
keeping
and other ministerial services in connection with the Custodial Account,
for a
reasonable fee to be borne by the Custodian and not by the Custodial
Account.
Any such agent's duties and responsibilities shall be confined solely to
the
performance of such services, and shall continue only for so long as the
Custodian named in the Application serves as Custodian.
22. AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT. The Depositor, the Broker, and Custodian
authorize
and direct the Company to amend this Agreement in any respect at any time
(including retroactively), so that it may conform with applicable
provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, or with any other applicable law as in effect
from
time to time, or to make such other changes to this Agreement as the
Company
deems advisable. Any such amendment shall be effected by delivery to the
Custodian and mailing to the Depositor at his or her last known address (as
shown in the records of the Custodian) a copy of such amendment or a
restatement of this Custodial Agreement, including any such amendment. The
Depositor shall be deemed to consent to any such amendment(s) if he or she
fails to object thereto by written notice received by the Custodian within
fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the Company's mailing to the
Depositor a copy of such amendment(s) or restatement.
23. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF CUSTODIAN. The Company may remove the
Custodian
at any time, and the Custodian may resign at any time, upon thirty (30)
days'
written notice to the Depositor and the Broker. Upon the removal or
resignation
of the Custodian, the Company may, but shall not be required to, appoint a
successor custodian under this Custodial Agreement; provided that any
successor
custodian shall satisfy the requirements of Section 408(a)(2) of the Code.
Upon
any such successor's acceptance of appointment, the Custodian shall
transfer
the assets of the Custodial Account, together with copies of relevant books
and
records, to such successor custodian; provided, however, that the Custodian
is
authorized to reserve such sum of money or property as it may deem
advisable
for payment of any liabilities constituting a charge on or against the
assets
of the Custodial Account, or on or against the Custodian or the Company.
The
Custodian shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to
it.
If no successor custodian is appointed by the Company, the Custodial
Account
shall be terminated, and the assets of the Account, reduced by the amount
of
any unpaid fees or expenses, will be distributed to the Depositor.
24. TERMINATION OF THE CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT. The Depositor may terminate the
Custodial Account at any time upon notice to the Custodian in a manner and
form
acceptable to the Custodian. Upon such termination, the Custodian shall
transfer the assets of the Custodial Account, reduced by the amount of any
unpaid fees or expenses, to the custodian or trustee of another individual
retirement account (within the meaning of Section 408 of the Code) or other
retirement plan designated by the Depositor, as described in Article VIII,
Section 10. The Custodian shall not be liable for losses arising from the
acts,
omissions, delays or other inaction of any such transferee custodian or
trustee. If notice of the Depositor's intention to terminate the Custodial
Account is received by the Custodian and the Depositor had not designated a
transferee custodian or trustee for the assets in the Account, then the
Account, reduced by any unpaid fees or expenses, will be distributed to the
Depositor.
25. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
COMPANY AND THE CUSTODIAN UNDER THE AGREEMENT, SHALL BE CONSTRUED,
ADMINISTERED
AND ENFORCED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS,
EXCEPT
AS SUPERSEDED BY FEDERAL LAW OR STATUTE.
26. WHEN EFFECTIVE. This Agreement shall not become effective until
acceptance
of the Application by or on behalf of the Custodian at its principal
office, as
evidenced by a written notice to the Depositor.

NO-NAME
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
The following information is provided to you in accordance with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and should be
reviewed
in conjunction with both the Custodial Agreement and the Application for
your
Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"). This information reflects the
provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code as are effective January 1, 1987, and
therefore
applies to contributions for years after, and to distributions taken after
1986.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may revoke this Account at any time within seven (7) calendar days
after it
is established by mailing or delivering a written request for revocation
to:
State Street Bank & Trust
P.O. Box 8302
Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8302
Upon revocation, you will receive a full refund of your initial
contribution,
including sales commissions (if any) and/or administrative fees. To
determine
where to send a revocation request, or if you have any questions relative
to
this procedure, please call our toll-free number, 1-800-522-7297.
TYPES OF IRAs
REGULAR IRA. You may make a Regular IRA contribution of $2,000 or 100% of
your
compensation, whichever is less. (To determine the amount of your income
tax
deduction for your IRA contribution, see "Limits on Deductible
Contributions"
below.)
SPOUSAL IRA. If you and your spouse file a joint federal income tax return,
you
may make a Spousal IRA contribution, even if your spouse has received
compensation during the tax year. Your contribution to a Spousal IRA must
not
exceed the lesser of (1) $2,000 or (2) the excess of $2,250 (or if less,
100%
of your compensation) over your contribution to your Regular IRA. Note: If
your
spouse has more than $250 in compensation for the tax year, the two of you
may
make a larger total contribution if you each contribute to a Regular IRA.
ROLLOVER IRA. If you retire or change jobs, you may be eligible for a
distribution from your employer's retirement plan. To avoid mandatory
withholding of 20% of your distribution for federal income tax, and to
preserve
the tax-deferred status of this distribution, you can transfer it directly
to a
Rollover IRA. If you choose to have the distribution paid directly to you,
you
will be subject to the 20% withholding rules. You may still reinvest up to
100%
of the total amount of your distribution which is eligible for rollover in
a
Rollover IRA by replacing the 20% which was withheld for taxes with other
assets you own. You must reinvest in a Rollover IRA within 60 days of
receipt
of your distribution. The amount invested in a Rollover IRA will not be
included in your taxable income for the year in which you receive the
qualified
plan distribution.
DESCRIPTION OF ACCOUNT
Your IRA is a custodial account created for your exclusive benefit. Your
interest in the account is nonforfeitable.
ELIGIBILITY
Employees and self-employed individuals are eligible to contribute to an
IRA
even if they are already covered under another tax-qualified plan.
Employers
may contribute to IRAs established by their employees, and employers may
contribute to IRAs used as part of a Simplified Employee Pension plan
("SEP,"
described below).
CONTRIBUTIONS
GENERAL. You may make annual cash contributions to an IRA in any amount up
to
100% of your compensation for the year or $2,000, whichever is less. Your
employer may make contributions to your account, but, except as noted below
under a SEP, the total contributions from you and your employer may not
exceed
this limitation. Contributions (other than rollover contributions described
below) must be made in "cash" and not in "kind." Therefore, securities or
other
assets already owned cannot be contributed to an IRA but can be converted
to
cash and then contributed. No part of your contribution may be invested in
life
insurance or be commingled with other property, except in a common trust
fund
or common investment fund.
SPOUSAL ACCOUNTS. If you are married and file a joint tax return, you may
make
cash contributions to a "spousal" IRA in addition to your own IRA (even if
your
spouse has compensation). The total amounts contributed to your own and to
your
spouse's IRA may not exceed 100% of your combined compensation or $2,250,
whichever is less. In no event, however, may the annual contribution to
either
your account or your spouse's account exceed $2,000.
COMPENSATION means wages, salaries, professional fees, or other amounts
derived
from or received for personal service actually rendered and includes the
earned
income of a self-employed individual, and any alimony or separate
maintenance
payment includible in the individual's gross income.
ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME is determined prior to adjustments for personal
exemptions and itemized deductions. For purposes of determining the IRA
deduction (see below), adjusted gross income is modified to take into
account
deductions for IRA contributions, taxable benefits under the Social
Security
Act and the Railroad Retirement Act, and passive loss limitations under
Code
Section 86.
TIME OF CONTRIBUTION. You may make contributions to your IRA anytime, up to
and
including the due date for filing your tax return for the year. You may
continue to make annual contributions to your IRA up to (but not including)
the
calendar year in which you reach age 70 1/2. You may continue to make
annual
contributions to your spouse's IRA up to (but not including) the calendar
year
in which your spouse reaches age 70 1/2.
ROLLOVER IRA CONTRIBUTIONS. Qualifying distributions from tax-qualified
plans
(for example, pension, profit-sharing, and Keogh plans) may be eligible for
rollover into your IRA. However, strict limitations apply to such rollovers
and
you should seek competent tax advice regarding these restrictions.
SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS. A separate IRA may be
established for use by your employer as part of a SEP arrangement. Your
employer may contribute to your SEP-IRA up to a maximum of 15% of your
compensation or $30,000, whichever is less. If your SEP-IRA is used as part
of
a salary reduction SEP, you may elect to reduce your annual compensation,
up to
a maximum of 15% of your compensation or $7,000 (indexed to reflect
cost-of-living adjustments), whichever is less, and have your employer
contribute that amount to your SEP-IRA. If your employer maintains both a
salary reduction SEP and a regular SEP, the annual contribution limit to
both
SEPs together is 15% of your compensation or $30,000, whichever is less.
You
may contribute, in addition to the amount contributed by your employer to
your
SEP-IRA, an amount not in excess of the limits referred to under "General"
above. It is your and your employer's responsibility to see that
contributions
in excess of normal IRA limits are made under a valid SEP and are,
therefore,
proper.
EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS. Contributions which exceed the allowable maximum per
year
are considered excess contributions. A nondeductible penalty tax of 6% of
the
excess amount contributed will be incurred for each year in which the
excess
contribution remains in your IRA. If you make a contribution (or your
employer
makes a SEP contribution, including a salary reduction contribution, on
your
behalf) in excess of your allowable maximum for any taxable year, you may
correct the excess contribution and avoid the 6% penalty tax for that year
by
withdrawing the excess contribution and its earnings on or before the date,
including extensions, for filing your tax return for that year.
The amount of the excess contribution withdrawn will not be considered a
premature distribution nor (except in the case of a salary reduction
contribution) be taxed as ordinary income, but the earnings withdrawn will
be
taxed as ordinary income to you. Alternatively, excess contributions for
one
year may be carried forward and reported in the next year to the extent
that
the excess, when aggregated with your IRA contribution (if any) for the
subsequent year, does not exceed the maximum amount for that year. The 6%
excise tax will be imposed on excess contributions in each year they are
neither returned nor carried forward.
DEDUCTIBLE IRA CONTRIBUTIONS
If you are not married and are not an active participant in an
employer-maintained retirement plan, you may make a fully deductible IRA
contribution in any amount up to 100% of your compensation for the year or
$2,000, whichever is less. The same limits apply if you are married and you
file a joint return with your spouse, and neither of you is an active
participant in an employer-maintained retirement plan. An
"employer-maintained
retirement plan" includes any of the following types of retirement plans:
o a qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus plan established in
accordance with IRC (Sec. Mk.)401(a) or 401(k).
o a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEP) (IRC (Sec. Mk.)408(k)).
o a deferred compensation plan maintained by a governmental unit or
agency.
o tax sheltered annuities and custodial accounts (IRC (Sec. Mk.)403(b) and
403(b)(7)).
o a qualified annuity plan under IRC (Sec. Mk.)403(a).
You are an active participant in an employer maintained retirement plan
even if
you do not have a vested right to any benefits under your employer's plan.
Whether you are an "active participant" depends on the type of plan
maintained
by your employer. Generally, you are considered an active participant in a
defined contribution plan if an employer contribution or forfeiture was
credited to your account under the plan during the year. You are considered
an
active participant in a defined benefit plan if you are eligible to
participate
in the plan, even though you elect not to participate. You are also treated
as
an active participant for a year during which you make a voluntary or
mandatory
contribution to any type of plan, even though your employer makes no
contribution to the plan.
If you (or your spouse, if you are filing a joint tax return) are covered
by an
employer-maintained retirement plan, your IRA contribution is tax
deductible
only to the extent that your adjusted gross income does not exceed the
deductibility limits discussed below.
LIMITS ON DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS
The deduction of your IRA contribution is reduced proportionately for
adjusted
gross income which exceeds the applicable dollar amount. The applicable
dollar
amount for an individual is $25,000 and $40,000 for married couples filing
a
joint tax return. The applicable dollar limit for married individuals
filing
separate returns is $0. If your adjusted gross income exceeds the
applicable
dollar amount by not more than $10,000, you may make a deductible IRA
contribution (but the deductible amount will be less than $2,000). To
determine
the amount of your deductible contribution, use the following calculation:
1. Subtract the applicable dollar amount from your adjusted gross income.
If
the result is $10,000 or more, stop; you can only make a nondeductible
contribution.
2. Subtract the above figure from $10,000.
3. Divide the above figure by $10,000.
4. Multiply $2,000 by the fraction resulting from the above steps. This is
your
maximum deductible contribution limit.
If the deduction limit is not a multiple of $10, then it is to be rounded
up to
the next highest $10. There is a $200 minimum floor on the deduction limit
if
your adjusted gross income does not exceed $35,000 (for a single taxpayer),
$50,000 (for married taxpayers filing jointly) or $10,000 (for a married
taxpayer filing separately).
Adjusted gross income for married couples filing a joint tax return is
calculated by aggregating the compensation of both spouses. The deduction
limitations on IRA contributions, as determined above, then apply to each
spouse.
NONDEDUCTIBLE IRA CONTRIBUTIONS
Even if your income exceeds the limits described above, you may make a
contribution to your IRA up to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of your
compensation. To the extent that your contribution exceeds the deductible
limits, it will be nondeductible. Earnings on all IRA contributions are tax
deferred until distribution.
You are required to designate on your tax return the extent to which your
IRA
contribution is nondeductible. Therefore, your designation must be made by
the
due date (including extensions) for filing your tax return. If you
overstate
the amount of nondeductible contributions for a taxable year, a penalty of
$100
will be assessed for each overstatement unless you can show that the
overstatement was due to a reasonable cause.
INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT
The assets in your IRA will be invested in accordance with your
instructions.
As with any investment, you should read any publicly available information
(e.g., prospectuses, annual reports, the terms and conditions of any
insurance
annuity contract, etc.) which would enable you to make an informed
investment
decision.
If no investment instructions are received from you, or if the instructions
received are, in the opinion of the Custodian, unclear, you may be
requested to
provide instructions. In the absence of such instructions, your investment
may
be invested in Money Market Shares, which strive to maintain a stable $1
per
share balance. Keep in mind that with respect to investments in regulated
investment company shares (i.e., mutual funds) held in your account, growth
in
the value of your account cannot be guaranteed or projected.
DISTRIBUTIONS
GENERAL. Distributions from your IRA should begin no earlier than the date
you
reach age 59 1/2 (except in cases of your earlier disability or death) and
no
later than the April 1 following the year in which you reach age 70 1/2.
Distributions from your account will be included in your gross income for
federal income tax purposes for the year in which you receive them.
PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. To the extent they are included in income,
distributions from your IRA made before you reach age 59 1/2 will be
subject to
a 10% nondeductible penalty tax (in addition to being taxable as ordinary
income) unless the distribution is an exempt withdrawal of an excess
contribution, or the distribution is rolled over to another qualified
retirement plan, or the distribution is made on account of your death or
disability, or the distribution is one of a scheduled series of payments
over
your life or life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of yourself and
your Beneficiary.
LATEST TIME TO WITHDRAW. You must begin receiving distributions of the
assets
in your account by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year
in
which you reach age 70 1/2. Subsequent distributions must be made by
December
31 of each year. If you maintain more than one IRA, you may take from any
of
your IRAs the aggregate amount to be withdrawn.
MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. Once distributions are required to begin, they must
not
be less than the amount each year (determined by actuarial tables) which
would
exhaust the value of the account over the required distribution period,
which
is generally your life expectancy or the joint life and last survivor
expectancy of you and an individual you have designated as your
Beneficiary.
You will be subject to a 50% excise tax on the amount by which the
distribution
you actually received in any year falls short of the minimum distribution
required for the year.
METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION. Assets may be distributed from your account
according
to one or more of the following methods selected by you:
(a) total distribution
(b) distribution over a certain period
(c) purchase of an annuity contract
(See Article IV of your IRA Custodial Agreement for a full description of
these
distribution methods.)
DISTRIBUTION UPON DEATH. The assets remaining in your Account will be
distributed upon your death to the beneficiary(ies) named by you on record
with
the Custodian. If there is no beneficiary designated for your Account in
the
Custodian's records, or if the beneficiary you had designated dies before
you
do, your Account will be paid to your surviving spouse, or if none, to your
estate.
If your spouse was your primary beneficiary and you had started to receive
distributions from your account, but die before receiving the balance of
your
account, your spouse has several options. Your spouse can either keep
receiving
distributions from your account at least as rapidly, or roll over all or
part
of your account into an IRA in his or her name. If distributions from your
account had not yet begun, your spouse may defer taking distributions until
April 1st of the year you would have turned 70 1/2, and then receive
distributions over his or her life expectancy, or roll over the account
into an
IRA in their name, and treat the IRA as his or her own.
If your beneficiary is not your spouse, and distributions had begun from
your
account, your beneficiary may continue to receive them at least as rapidly
as
the payment schedule you had established. If distributions had not yet
begun,
your beneficiary must deplete your account within 5 years of your death, or
start taking distributions from your account within one year of your death
over
their own life expectancy.
DISTRIBUTION OF NONDEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS. To the extent that a
distribution
constitutes a return of your nondeductible contributions, it will not be
included in your income. The amount of any distribution excludable from
income
is the portion that bears the same ratio to the total distribution that
your
aggregate nondeductible contributions bear to the balance at the end of the
year (calculated after adding back distributions during the year) of your
IRA.
For this purpose, all of your IRAs are treated as a single IRA.
Furthermore,
all distributions from an IRA during a taxable year are to be treated as
one
distribution. The aggregate amount of distributions excludable from income
for
all years is not to exceed the aggregate nondeductible contributions for
all
calendar years. There is a 10% additional income tax assessed against
premature
distributions to the extent such distributions are includible in income
(see
"Premature Distributions" above).
EXCESS DISTRIBUTIONS. There is a 15% excise tax assessed against annual
distributions from tax-favored retirement plans, including IRAs, which
exceed
the greater of $150,000 or $112,500 (indexed to reflect cost-of-living
increases). To determine whether you have distributions in excess of this
limit, you must aggregate the amounts of all distributions received by you
during the calendar year from all retirement plans, including IRAs. Please
consult with your tax advisor for more complete information, including the
availability of favorable elections.
ROLLOVER TREATMENT. Distributions from your IRA representing all or any
part of
the assets in your IRA account are also eligible for rollover treatment.
You
may roll over all or any part of the same property from this distribution
of
assets, within 60 days of receipt, into another IRA or individual
retirement
annuity, and maintain the tax-deferred status of these assets. A 60-day
rollover can be made once every twelve months per IRA.
DIVORCE OR LEGAL SEPARATION
If all or any portion of your IRA is awarded to a former spouse pursuant to
divorce or legal separation, such portion can be transferred to an IRA in
the
receiving spouse's name. This transaction can be processed without any tax
implications to you provided a written instrument executed by a court
incident
to the divorce or legal separation in accordance with Section 408(d)(6) of
the
Code is received by the Custodian, and specifically directs such transfer.
In
addition, you must also provide the Custodian with a letter of instruction
and
an IRA application executed by the receiving spouse, if she or he doesn't
already maintain such IRA at Fidelity.
FEES AND EXPENSES
Fees and other expenses of maintaining your Fidelity IRA account are
described
in the Application and may be changed from time to time, as provided in the
Custodial Agreement.
PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS
If any of the events prohibited by Section 4975 of the Code (such as any
sale,
exchange or leasing of any property between you and your IRA) occurs during
the
existence of your IRA, your account will be disqualified and the entire
balance
in your account will be treated as if distributed to you as of the first
day of
the year in which the prohibited event occurs. This "distribution" would be
subject to ordinary income tax and, if you were under age 59 1/2 at the
time,
to the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions.
If you or your Beneficiary use (pledge) all or any part of your IRA as
security
for a loan, then the portion so pledged will be treated as if distributed
to
you, and will be taxable to you as ordinary income and subject to the 10%
penalty during the year in which you make such a pledge.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
NO SPECIAL TAX TREATMENT. No distribution to you or anyone else from your
account can qualify for capital gain treatment under the federal income tax
laws. It is taxed to the person receiving the distribution as ordinary
income.
(Similarly, you are not entitled to the five-year averaging rule for
lump-sum
distributions available to persons receiving distributions from certain
other
types of retirement plans.)
GIFT TAX. If you elect during your lifetime to have all or any part of your
account payable to a Beneficiary at or after your death, the election will
not
subject you to any gift tax liability.
TAX WITHHOLDING. Federal income tax will be withheld from distributions you
receive from an IRA unless you elect not to have tax withheld. However, if
IRA
distributions are to be delivered outside of the United States, this tax is
mandatory and you may not elect otherwise unless you certify to the
Custodian
that you are not a U.S. citizen residing overseas or a "tax-avoidance
expatriate" as described in Code Section 877. Federal income tax will be
withheld at the rate of 10%.
REPORTING FOR TAX PURPOSES. Contributions to your IRA must be reported on
your
tax Form 1040 or 1040A for the taxable year contributed. You will be
required
to designate your IRA contribution as deductible or nondeductible. You are
also
required to attach a Form 8606 to your 1040 or 1040A form. Form 8606 is
used to
report nondeductible IRA contributions and to calculate the basis
(nontaxable
part) of your IRA. Other reporting will be required by you in the event
that
special taxes or penalties described herein are due. You must also file
Treasury Form 5329 with the IRS for each taxable year in which the
contribution
limits are exceeded, a premature distribution takes place, or less than the
required minimum amount is distributed from your IRA. The Tax Reform Act of
1986 also requires you to report the amount of all distributions you
received
from your IRA and the aggregate account balance of all IRAs as of the end
of
the calendar year.
IRS APPROVAL
The form of your Individual Retirement Account has been approved by the
Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service approval is a
determination only as to the form and does not represent a determination of
the
merits of the Account. You may obtain further information with respect to
your
IRA from any district office of the Internal Revenue Service.

FIDELITY Exhibit 14(g)
INSTITUTIONAL
INDIVIDUAL
RETIREMENT
ACCOUNT
CUSTODIAL
AGREEMENT
Under Section 408(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code
The Depositor whose name appears on the attached Application is
establishing an
individual retirement account (under Section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code) to provide for his or her retirement and for the support of his or
her
beneficiaries after death.
The Custodian named on the attached Application has given the Depositor the
Disclosure Statement required under the Income Tax Regulations under
Section
408(i) of the Code.
The Depositor has deposited with the Custodian an initial contribution in
cash,
as set forth in the attached Application.
The Depositor and the Custodian make the following Agreement:
ARTICLE I
The Custodian may accept additional cash contributions on behalf of the
Depositor for a tax year of the Depositor. The total cash contributions are
limited to $2,000 for the tax year unless the contribution is a rollover
contribution described in Section 402(c) of the Code (but only after
December
31, 1992), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3), or an employer contribution to
a
Simplified Employee Pension Plan as described in Section 408(k). Rollover
contributions before January 1, 1993, include rollovers described in
Section
402(a)(5), 402(a)(6), 402(a)(7), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3), or an
employer contribution to a Simplified Employee Pension Plan as described in
Section 408(k).
ARTICLE II
The Depositor's interest in the balance in the Custodial Account is
nonforfeitable.
ARTICLE III
1. No part of the custodial funds may be invested in life insurance
contracts,
nor may the assets of the Custodial Account be commingled with other
property
except in a common trust fund or common investment fund (within the meaning
of
Section 408(a)(5) of the Code).
2. No part of the custodial funds may be invested in collectibles (within
the
meaning of Section 408(m) of the Code) except as otherwise permitted by
Section
408(m)(3) which provides an exception for certain gold and silver coins and
coins issued under the laws of any state.
ARTICLE IV
1. Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement to the contrary, the
distribution of the Depositor's interest in the Custodial Account shall be
made
in accordance with the following requirements and shall otherwise comply
with
Section 408(a)(6) and Proposed Regulations Section 1.408-8, including the
incidental death benefit provisions of Proposed Regulations Section
1.401(a)(9)-2, the provisions of which are incorporated by reference.
2. Unless otherwise elected by the time distributions are required to begin
to
the Depositor under paragraph 3, or to the surviving spouse under paragraph
4,
other than in the case of a life annuity, life expectancies shall be
recalculated annually. Such election shall be irrevocable as to the
Depositor
and the surviving spouse and shall apply to all subsequent years. The life
expectancy of a non spouse beneficiary may not be recalculated.
3. The Depositor's entire interest in the Custodial Account must be, or
begin
to be, distributed by the Depositor's required beginning date (April 1
following the calendar year end in which the Depositor reaches age 70 1/2).
By
that date, the Depositor may elect, in a manner acceptable to the
Custodian, to
have the balance in the Custodial Account distributed in:
(a) A single-sum payment.
(b) An annuity contract that provides equal or substantially equal monthly,
quarterly, or annual payments over the life of the Depositor.
(c) An annuity contract that provides equal or substantially equal monthly,
quarterly, or annual payments over the joint and last survivor lives of the
Depositor and his or her designated Beneficiary.
(d) Equal or substantially equal annual payments over a specified period
that
may not be longer than the Depositor's life expectancy.
(e) Equal or substantially equal annual payments over a specified period
that
may not be longer than the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the
Depositor and his or her designated Beneficiary.
4. If the Depositor dies before his or her entire interest is distributed
to
him or her, the entire remaining interest will be distributed as follows:
(a) If the Depositor dies on or after distribution of his or her interest
has
begun, distribution must continue to be made in accordance with paragraph
3.
(b) If the Depositor dies before distribution of his or her interest has
begun,
the entire remaining interest will, at the election of the Depositor or, if
the
Depositor has not so elected, at the election of the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries, either
(i) Be distributed by the December 31 of the year containing the fifth
anniversary of the Depositor's death, or
(ii) Be distributed in equal or substantially equal payments over the life
or
life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries starting by
December 31 of the year following the year of the Depositor's death. If,
however, the Beneficiary is the Depositor's surviving spouse, then this
distribution is not required to begin before December 31 of the year in
which
the Depositor would have turned age 70 1/2.
(c) Except where distribution in the form of an annuity meeting the
requirements of Section 408(b)(3) and its related regulations has
irrevocably
commenced, distributions are treated as having begun on the Depositor's
required beginning date, even though payments may actually have been made
before that date.
(d) If the Depositor dies before his or her entire interest has been
distributed and if the Beneficiary is other than the surviving spouse, no
additional cash contributions or rollover contributions may be accepted in
the
account.
5. In the case of distribution over life expectancy in equal or
substantially
equal annual payments, to determine the minimum annual payment for each
year,
divide the Depositor's entire interest in the Custodial Account as of the
close
of business on December 31 of the preceding year by the life expectancy of
the
Depositor (or the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Depositor
and
the Depositor's designated Beneficiary, or the life expectancy of the
designated Beneficiary, whichever applies). In the case of distributions
under
paragraph 3, determine the initial life expectancy (or joint life and last
survivor expectancy) using the attained ages of the Depositor and
designated
Beneficiary as of their birthdays in the year the Depositor reaches age 70
1/2.
In the case of a distribution in accordance with paragraph 4(b)(ii),
determine
life expectancy using the attained age of the designated Beneficiary as of
the
Beneficiary's birthday in the year distributions are required to commence.
6. The owner of two or more individual retirement accounts may use the
"alternative method" described in Notice 88-38, 1988-1 C.B. 524, to satisfy
the
minimum distribution requirements described above. This method permits an
individual to satisfy these requirements by taking from one individual
retirement account the amount required to satisfy the requirement for
another.
ARTICLE V
1. The Depositor agrees to provide the Custodian with information necessary
for
the Custodian to prepare any reports required under Section 408(i) of the
Code
and Regulations Sections 1.408-5 and 1.408-6.
2. The Custodian agrees to submit reports to the Internal Revenue Service
and
the Depositor prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.
ARTICLE VI
Notwithstanding any other articles which may be added or incorporated, the
provisions of Articles I through III and this sentence will be controlling.
Any
additional articles that are not consistent with Section 408(a) of the Code
and
the related regulations will be invalid.
ARTICLE VII
This Agreement will be amended from time to time to comply with the
provisions
of the Code and related regulations. Other amendments may be made with the
consent of the Depositor and the Custodian.

in
which investments are permitted for investment under this Agreement by the

Funds
within such group under the terms of its then current prospectus or any
other
agreement maintained by the Company.
(l) "Money Market Shares" shall mean any Investment Company Shares that are
issued by a money market mutual fund.
2. BROKER. The Broker shall be appointed by the Depositor in the
Application as
his or her agent to execute such investment directions with respect to
Investment Company Shares as the Depositor may give under the terms of the
Custodial Account, including the execution of purchase and sale orders
through
the Company's proprietary remote trading system.
In all cases the Broker, and not the Custodian, shall have the
responsibility
for delivering to the Depositor all notices and prospectuses relating to
such
Investment Company Shares. To the extent that the Custodian delivers to the
Broker confirmations, statements and other notices with respect to the
Account,
any such communications delivered to the Broker shall be deemed to have
been
delivered to the Depositor. The Depositor agrees to hold the Custodian and
the
Company harmless from and against any losses, cost or expenses arising in
connection with the delivery or receipt of any such communication(s),
provided
the Custodian has acted in accordance with the above.
3. INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Contributions to the Account may be
invested
only in Investment Company Shares, and shall be invested as follows:
(a) General. Contributions will be invested in accordance with the
Depositor's
written instructions in the Application, and with subsequent instructions
given
by the Depositor or the Authorized Agent appointed by the Depositor (or,
following the death of the Depositor, his or her Beneficiary) through the
Broker to the Custodian in a manner acceptable to the Custodian. By giving
such
instructions to the Custodian, such person will be deemed to have
acknowledged
receipt of the then current prospectus, if any, for any Investment Company
Shares in which the Depositor (or the Authorized Agent appointed by the
Depositor), through the Broker directs the Custodian to invest assets in
his or
her Account. All charges incidental to carrying out such instructions shall
be
charged and collected in accordance with Article VIII, Section 18. All
Investment Company Shares in the Custodial Account shall be held in the
name of
the Custodian or its nominee or nominees.
(b) Initial Contribution. The Custodian will invest all contributions
promptly
after their receipt, as set forth below; provided, however, that the
Custodian
shall not be obligated to invest the Depositor's initial contribution to
his
Custodial Account as indicated on the Application, until at least seven (7)
calendar days have elapsed from the date of acceptance of the Application
by or
on behalf of the Custodian.
(c) Unclear Instructions. If the Depositor's Custodial Account at any time
contains cash as to which investment instructions in accordance with this
Section 3 have not been received by the Custodian, or if the Custodian
receives
instructions as to investment selection or allocation that are, in the
opinion
of the Custodian, not clear, the Custodian may request instructions from
the
Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor or
administrator). Pending receipt of such instructions, any cash may be
invested
in Money Market Shares, and any other investment may remain unchanged. The
Custodian shall not be liable to anyone for any loss resulting from delay
in
investing such cash or in implementing such instructions. Notwithstanding
the
above, the Custodian may, but need not, for administrative convenience
maintain
a balance of up to $100 of un invested cash in the Depositor's Custodial
Account.
(d) Minimum Investment. Any other provision hereof to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) may not direct that any part or
all of
the Custodial Account be invested in Investment Company Shares unless the
aggregate amount to be invested is at least such amount as the Custodian
shall
establish from time to time.
(e) No Duty. The Custodian shall not have any duty to question the
directions
of a Depositor (or the Depositor's Broker, Authorized Agent, Beneficiary,
executor, or administrator) in the investment of his or her Custodial
Account
or to advise the Depositor or the Depositor's Broker regarding the
purchase,
retention or sale of assets credited to the Custodial Account. The
Custodian,
or any of its affiliates, shall not be liable for any loss that results
from
the Depositor's (or the Depositor's Broker, Authorized Agent, Beneficiary,
executor, or administrator) exercise of control (whether by his or her
action
or inaction) over the Custodial Account.
4. CONTRIBUTIONS BY DIVORCED OR SEPARATED SPOUSES. All alimony and separate
maintenance payments received by a divorced or separated spouse, and
taxable
under Section 71 of the Code, shall be considered compensation for purposes
of
computing the maximum annual contribution to the Custodial Account, and the
limitations for contributions by a divorced or separated spouse shall be
the
same as for any other individual.
5. TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS. A contribution is deemed to have been made on
the
last day of the preceding taxable year if the contribution is made by the
deadline for filing the Depositor's income tax return (not including
extensions), or such later date as may be determined by the Department of
the
Treasury or the IRS, provided the Depositor (or the Depositor's Broker or
Authorized Agent) designates, in a manner acceptable to the Custodian, the
contribution as a contribution for the preceding taxable year.
6. ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. The Custodian will accept for the Custodial
Account
all rollover contributions that consist of cash, and it may, but shall be
under
no obligation to, accept all or any part of any other rollover
contribution.
The Depositor shall designate each rollover contribution as such to the
Custodian through the Broker, and by such designation shall confirm to the
Custodian that a proposed rollover contribution qualifies as a rollover
contribution within the meaning of Sections 402(a)(5), 402(a)(6),
402(a)(7),
402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), and/or 408(d)(3) of the Code. Submission by
or on
behalf of a Depositor of a rollover contribution consisting of assets other
than cash or property permitted as an investment under this Article VIII
shall
be deemed to be the instruction of the Depositor to the Custodian that, if
such
rollover contribution is accepted, the Custodian will use its best efforts
to
sell those assets for the Depositor's account, and to invest the proceeds
of
any such sale in accordance with Section 3. To the extent permitted by law,
the
Custodian shall not be liable to anyone for any loss resulting from such
sale
or delay in effecting such sale; or for any loss of income or appreciation
with
respect to the proceeds thereof after such sale and prior to investment
pursuant to Section 3; or for any failure to effect such sale if such
property
proves not readily marketable in the ordinary course of business. All
brokerage
and other costs incidental to the sale or attempted sale of such property
will
be charged to the Custodial Account in accordance with Article VIII,
Section
18.
7. REINVESTMENT OF EARNINGS. In the absence of other instructions pursuant
to
Section 3, distributions of every nature received in respect of the assets
in a
Depositor's Custodial Account shall be reinvested as follows:
(a) in the case of a distribution in respect of Investment Company Shares
that
may be received, at the election of the shareholder, in cash or in
additional
Shares of such Investment Company, the Custodian shall elect to receive
such
distribution in additional Investment Company Shares;
(b) in the case of a cash distribution that is received in respect of
Investment Company Shares, the Custodian shall reinvest such cash in
additional
Shares of that Investment Company;
(c) in the case of any other distribution of any nature received in respect
of
assets in the Custodial Account, the distribution shall be liquidated to
cash,
if necessary, and shall be reinvested in accordance with the Depositor's
instructions pursuant to Section 3.
8. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. A Depositor may designate a Beneficiary as
follows:
(a) General. A Depositor may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries at
any
time, and any such designation may be changed or revoked at any time, by
written designation signed by the Depositor on a form acceptable to, and
filed
with, the Custodian; provided, however, that such designation, or change or
revocation of a prior designation, shall not be effective unless it is
received
and accepted by the Custodian no later than thirty (30) days after the
death of
the Depositor, and provided further that the latest such designation or
change
or revocation shall control. If the Depositor had not by the date of his or
her
death properly designated a Beneficiary in accordance with the preceding
sentence, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Depositor, the
Depositor's Beneficiary shall be his or her surviving spouse, but if he or
she
has no surviving spouse, his or her estate. Unless otherwise specified in
the
Depositor's designation of Beneficiary, if a Beneficiary dies before
receiving
his or her entire interest in the Custodial Account, his or her remaining
interest in the Custodial Account shall be paid to the Beneficiary's
estate.
(b) Minors. If a distribution upon the death of the Depositor is payable to
a
person known by the Custodian to be a minor or otherwise under a legal
disability, the Custodian may, in its absolute discretion, make all, or any
part of the distribution to (a) a parent of such person, (b) the guardian,
conservator, or other legal representative, wherever appointed, of such
person,
(c) a custodial account established under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act,
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, or similar act, (d) any person having
control
or custody of such person, or (e) to such person directly.
(c) QTIPs and QDOTs. A Depositor may designate as Beneficiary of his or her
Account a trust for the benefit of his or her surviving spouse that is
intended
to satisfy the conditions of Sections 2056(b)(7) or 2056A of the Code (a
"Spousal Trust"). In that event, if the Depositor is survived by his or her
spouse, the following provisions shall apply to the Account, from and after
the
death of the Depositor until the death of the Depositor's surviving spouse:
(1)
all of the income of the Account shall be paid to the Spousal Trust
annually or
at more frequent intervals, and (2) no person shall have the power to
appoint
any part of the Account to any person other than the Spousal Trust. To the
extent permitted by Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, as determined by the
trustee(s) of the Spousal Trust, the surviving spouse of a Depositor who
has
designated a Spousal Trust as his or her Beneficiary may be treated as his
or
her "designated beneficiary" for purposes of the distribution requirements
of
that Code section. The Custodian shall have no responsibility to determine
whether such treatment is appropriate.
(d) Judicial Determination. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, in
the event of reasonable doubt respecting the proper course of action to be
taken, the Custodian may in its sole and absolute discretion resolve such
doubt
by judicial determination, which shall be binding on all parties claiming
any
interest in the Account. In such event all court costs, legal expenses,
reasonable compensation of time expended by the Custodian in the
performance of
its duties, and other appropriate and pertinent expenses and costs shall be
collected by the Custodian from the Custodial Account in accordance with
Article VIII, Section 18.
(e) No Duty. The Custodian shall not have any duty to question the
directions
of a Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor
or
administrator) as to the time(s) and amount(s) of distributions from the
Custodial Account, or to advise him or her regarding the compliance of such
distributions with Section 401(a)(9), Section 2056(b)(7) or Section 2056A
of
the Code.
9. PAYROLL DEDUCTION. Subject to approval of the Custodian and the Broker,
a
Depositor may choose to have contributions to his or her Custodial Account
made
through payroll deduction if the Account is maintained as part of a program
sponsored by the Depositor's employer. In order to establish payroll
deduction,
the Depositor must authorize his or her employer to deduct a fixed amount
from
each pay period's salary up to a total amount of $2,000 per year, unless
such
contributions are being made pursuant to a Simplified Employee Pension Plan
described under Section 408(k) of the Code, in which case, annual
contributions
up to the limit prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service can be made
(generally, 15% of the Depositor's earned income, up to $30,000 per year).
Contributions to the Custodial Account of the Depositor's spouse may be
made
through payroll deduction if the employer authorizes the use of payroll
deductions for such contributions, but such contributions must be made to a
separate Account maintained for the benefit of the Depositor's spouse. The
payroll deduction authorization shall continue in force until such time as
written amendment or revocation is received by the Depositor's employer and
the
Custodian with reasonable advance notice.
10. TRANSFERS TO OR FROM THE ACCOUNT. Assets held on behalf of the
Depositor in
another IRA may be transferred by the trustee or custodian thereof directly
to
the Custodian, in a form and manner acceptable to the Custodian, to be held
in
the Custodial Account for the Depositor under this Agreement. The Custodian
will not be responsible for any losses the Depositor may incur as a result
of
the timing of any transfer from another trustee or custodian that are due
to
circumstances reasonably beyond the control of the Custodian.
Assets held on behalf of the Depositor in the Account may be transferred
directly to a trustee or custodian of another IRA established for the
Depositor, if so directed by the Depositor in a form and manner acceptable
to
the Custodian; provided, however, that it shall be the Depositor's
responsibility to ensure that any minimum distribution required by Section
401(a)(9) of the Code is made prior to giving the Custodian such transfer
instructions.
11. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ACCOUNT. Subject to Section 13 below,
distributions
from the Account will be made only upon the request of the Depositor (or
the
Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) to
the
Custodian through the Broker in such form and in such manner as is
acceptable
to the Custodian. For distributions requested pursuant to Article IV, life
expectancy and joint life and last survivor expectancy are calculated based
on
information provided by the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) using the Expected Return
Multiples in
Section 1.72-9 of the Income Tax Regulations. The Custodian shall not incur
any
liability for errors in such calculations as a result of reliance on
information provided by the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent,
Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) or the Depositor's Broker. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian is not obligated to
make any distribution, including a minimum required distribution as
specified
in Article IV above, absent a specific written direction from the Depositor
(or
the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or administrator)
through the Broker to do so.
12. ACTIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. If the Custodian
receives
no response to communications sent to the Depositor (or the Depositor's
Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or administrator) at the
Depositor's
(or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or
administrator's) last known address as shown in the records of the
Custodian,
or if the Custodian determines, on the basis of evidence satisfactory to
it,
that the Depositor is legally incompetent, the Custodian thereafter may
make
such determinations with respect to distributions, investments, and other
administrative matters arising under this Agreement as it considers
reasonable,
notwithstanding any prior instructions or directions given by or on behalf
of
the Depositor. Any determinations so made shall be binding on all persons
having or claiming any interest under the Custodial Account, and the
Custodian
shall not incur any obligation or liability for any such determination made
in
good faith, for any action taken in pursuance thereof, or for any
fluctuations
in the value of the Account in the event of a delay resulting from the
Custodian's good faith decision to await additional information or
evidence.
13. RESPONSIBILITY AS TO CONTRIBUTIONS OR DISTRIBUTIONS. The Custodian will
not
under any circumstances be responsible for the timing, purpose or propriety
of
any contribution or of any distribution made hereunder, nor shall the
Custodian
incur any liability or responsibility for any tax imposed on account of any
such contribution or distribution. Notwithstanding Section 11 above, the
Custodian is empowered to make a distribution absent such an instruction if
directed to do so pursuant to a court order of any kind and neither the
Custodian nor the Company shall in such event incur any liability for
acting in
accordance with such court order.
14. WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTICES. All written notices or communications
required to be given by the Custodian to the Depositor shall be deemed to
have
been given when sent by mail to either the Broker or to the last known
address
of the Depositor in the records of the Custodian. All written instructions,
notices, or communications required to be given by the Depositor to the
Custodian shall be mailed or delivered to the Custodian at its designated
mailing address as specified on the Application, and no such instruction,
notice, or communication shall be effective until the Custodian's actual
receipt thereof.
15. EFFECT OF WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTICES. The Custodian shall be
entitled
to rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in any action or
non-action taken in good faith in reliance upon, any written instructions,
notices, communications or instruments believed to have been genuine and
properly executed. Any such notification may be proved by original copy or
reproduced copy thereof, including, without limitation, a copy produced by
photocopying, facsimile transmission, or electronic imaging. For this
purpose,
the Custodian may (but is not required to) give the same effect to a
telephonic
instruction as it gives to a written instruction, and the Custodian's
action in
doing so shall be protected to the same extent as if such telephonic
instructions were, in fact, a written instruction. Any such telephonic
instruction may be proved by audio recorded tape.
16. TAX MATTERS.
(a) General. The Custodian shall submit required reports to the IRS and the
Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor, or
administrator); provided, however, that such individual shall prepare any
return or report required in connection with maintaining the Account, or as
a
result of liability incurred by the Account for tax on unrelated business
taxable income, or windfall profits tax.
(b) Annual Report. As soon as is practicable after the close of each
taxable
year, and whenever required by the Code, the Custodian shall deliver to the
Depositor a written report(s) reflecting receipts, disbursements and other
transactions effected in the Custodial Account during such period and the
fair
market value of the assets and liabilities of the Custodial Account as of
the
close of such period in a manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service.
Unless the Depositor sends the Custodian written objection to a report
within
ninety (90) days of receipt, the Depositor shall be deemed to have approved
of
such report, and the Custodian and the Company, and their officers,
employees
and agents shall be forever released and discharged from all liability and
accountability to anyone with respect to their acts, transactions, duties
and
responsibilities as shown on or reflected by such report(s). The Company
shall
not incur any liability in the event the Custodian does not satisfy its
obligations as described herein.
(c) Withholding. Any distributions from the Custodial Account may be made
by
the Custodian net of any required tax withholding.
17. SPENDTHRIFT PROVISION. The interest of a Depositor in the Account shall
not
be transferred or assigned by voluntary or involuntary act of the Depositor
or
by operation of law; nor shall it be subject to alienation, assignment,
garnishment, attachment, receivership, execution or levy of any kind.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a property settlement
between a
Depositor and his or her former spouse pursuant to which the transfer of a
Depositor's interest hereunder, or a portion thereof, is incorporated in a
divorce decree or in a written instrument incident to such divorce or legal
separation, then the interest so decreed by a Court to be the property of
such
former spouse shall be transferred to a separate Custodial Account for the
benefit of such former spouse, in accordance with Section 408(d)(6) of the
Code.
18. FEES AND EXPENSES.
(a) General. The fees of the Custodian for performing its duties hereunder
shall be in such amount as it shall establish from time to time. All such
fees,
as well as expenses (such as, without limitation, brokerage commissions
upon
the investment of funds, fees for special legal services, taxes levied or
assessed, or expenses in connection with the liquidation or retention of
all or
part of a rollover contribution), shall be collected by the Custodian from
cash
available in the Custodial Account, or if insufficient cash shall be
available,
by sale of sufficient assets in the Custodial Account and application of
the
sales proceeds to pay such fees and expenses. Alternatively, but only with
the
consent of the Custodian, fees and expenses may be paid directly to the
Custodian by the Depositor by separate check.
(b) Advisor Fees. The Custodian shall, upon direction from the Depositor,
disburse from the Custodial Account payment to the Depositor's registered
investment advisor of any fees for financial advisory services rendered
with
regard to the assets held in the Account. Such direction must be provided
in a
form and manner acceptable to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not
incur
any liability for executing such direction.
(c) Sale of Assets. Whenever it shall be necessary in accordance with this
Section 18 to sell assets in order to pay fees or expenses, the Custodian
shall
request the Depositor (or the Depositor's Authorized agent, Beneficiary,
executor, or administrator) to provide specific instructions. If such
instructions are not received by the Custodian within ten (10) business
days of
the Custodian's request, the Custodian may sell any or all of the assets
credited to the Custodial Account at that time, and shall invest the
portion of
the sales proceeds remaining after collection of the applicable fees and
expenses therefrom in accordance with Section 3. The Custodian shall not
incur
any liability on account of its sale or retention of assets under such
circumstances.
19. VOTING WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES. The Custodian shall mail to the
Depositor all prospectuses and proxies that may come into the Custodian's
possession by reason of its holding of Investment Company Shares or other
securities in the Custodial Account. A Depositor may direct the Custodian
as to
the manner in which any securities or Investment Company Shares held in the
Custodial Account shall be voted with respect to any matters as to which
the
Custodian as holder of record is entitled to vote, coming before any
meeting of
shareholders of the corporation that issued such securities, or of holders
of
interest in the Investment Company that issued such Investment Company
Shares.
All such directions shall be in writing on a form approved by the Custodian
and
signed by the Depositor, and delivered to the Custodian within the time
prescribed by it. The Custodian shall vote only those securities and
Shares
with respect to which it has received timely written directions from the
Depositor; provided, however, that the Custodian may without such direction
vote Shares "present" to the extent such a vote is needed to establish a
quorum.
20. LIMITATIONS ON CUSTODIAL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Depositor
and
the Custodian intend that the Custodian shall have and exercise no
discretion,
authority, or responsibility as to any investment in connection with the
Account and the Custodian shall not be responsible in any way for the
purpose,
propriety or tax treatment of any contribution, or of any distribution, or
any
other action or nonaction taken pursuant to the Depositor's direction or
that
of the Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor or
administrator.
The Depositor who directs the investment of his or her Account shall bear
sole
responsibility for the suitability of any directed investment and for any
adverse consequences arising from such an investment, including, without
limitation, the inability of the Custodian to value or to sell an illiquid
investment, or the generation of unrelated business taxable income with
respect
to an investment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Depositor (or
the
Depositor's Authorized Agent, Beneficiary, executor or administrator, as
appropriate) shall at all times fully indemnify and save harmless the
Custodian, the Company and their agents, affiliates, successors and assigns
and
their officers, directors and employees, from any and all liability arising
from the Depositor's investment direction under this Account, or from the
Broker's execution of such direction, and from any and all other liability
whatsoever that may arise in connection with this Agreement except
liability
arising under applicable law or liability arising from gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the indemnified person. Although the
Custodian shall have no responsibility to give effect to a direction from
anyone other than the Depositor (or the Depositor's Beneficiary, executor
or
administrator), the Custodian may, in its discretion, establish procedures
pursuant to which the Depositor may delegate to a third party any or all of
the
Depositor's powers and duties hereunder; provided, however, that in no
event
may anyone other than the Depositor execute the application by which this
Agreement is adopted or the form by which the Beneficiary is appointed, and
provided, further, that any such third party to whom the Depositor has so
delegated powers and duties shall be treated as the Depositor for purposes
of
applying the preceding sentences of this paragraph and the provisions of
Article VIII, Section 2.
21. DELEGATION TO AGENTS. The Custodian may delegate to one or more
corporations affiliated with the Custodian the performance of record
keeping
and other ministerial services in connection with the Custodial Account,
for a
reasonable fee to be borne by the Custodian and not by the Custodial
Account.
Any such agent's duties and responsibilities shall be confined solely to
the
performance of such services, and shall continue only for so long as the
Custodian named in the Application serves as Custodian.
22. AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT. The Depositor, the Broker, and Custodian
authorize
and direct the Company to amend this Agreement in any respect at any time
(including retroactively), so that it may conform with applicable
provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, or with any other applicable law as in effect
from
time to time, or to make such other changes to this Agreement as the
Company
deems advisable. Any such amendment shall be effected by delivery to the
Custodian and mailing to the Depositor at his or her last known address as
shown in the records of the Custodian a copy of such amendment, or a
restatement of this Custodial Agreement including any such amendment. The
Depositor shall be deemed to consent to any such amendment(s) if he or she
fails to object thereto by written notice received by the Custodian within
fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the Company's mailing to the
Depositor a copy of such amendment(s) or restatement.
23. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF CUSTODIAN. The Company may remove the
Custodian
at any time, and the Custodian may resign at any time, upon thirty (30)
days'
written notice to the Depositor and the Broker. Upon the removal or
resignation
of the Custodian, the Company may, but shall not be required to, appoint a
successor custodian under this Custodial Agreement; provided that any
successor
custodian shall satisfy the requirements of Section 408(a)(2) of the Code.
Upon
any such successor's acceptance of appointment, the Custodian shall
transfer
the assets of the Custodial Account, together with copies of relevant books
and
records, to such successor custodian; provided, however, that the Custodian
is
authorized to reserve such sum of money or property as it may deem
advisable
for payment of any liabilities constituting a charge on or against the
assets
of the Custodial Account, or on or against the Custodian or the Company.
The
Custodian shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to
it.
If no successor custodian is appointed by the Company, the Custodial
Account
shall be terminated, and the assets of the Account, reduced by the amount
of
any unpaid fees or expenses, will be distributed to the Depositor.
24. TERMINATION OF THE CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT. The Depositor may terminate the
Custodial Account at any time upon notice to the Custodian in a manner and
form
acceptable to the Custodian. Upon such termination, the Custodian shall
transfer the assets of the Custodial Account, reduced by the amount of any
unpaid fees or expenses, to the custodian or trustee of another individual
retirement account (within the meaning of Section 408 of the Code) or other
retirement plan designated by the Depositor, as described in Article VIII,
Section 10. The Custodian shall not be liable for losses arising from the
acts,
omissions, delays or other inaction of any such transferee custodian or
trustee. If notice of the Depositor's intention to terminate the Custodial
Account is received by the Custodian and the Depositor had not designated a
transferee custodian or trustee for the assets in the Account, then the
Account, reduced by any unpaid fees or expenses, will be distributed to the
Depositor.
25. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
COMPANY AND THE CUSTODIAN UNDER THE AGREEMENT, SHALL BE CONSTRUED,
ADMINISTERED
AND ENFORCED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS,
EXCEPT
AS SUPERSEDED BY FEDERAL LAW OR STATUTE.
26. WHEN EFFECTIVE. This Agreement shall not become effective until
acceptance
of the Application by or on behalf of the Custodian at its principal
office, as
evidenced by a written notice to the Depositor.

ACCOUNT
DISCLOSURE
STATEMENT
The following information is provided to you in accordance with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and should be
reviewed
in conjunction with both the Custodial Agreement and the Application for
your
Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"). This information reflects the
provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code as are effective January 1, 1987, and
therefore
applies to contributions for years after, and to distributions taken after
1986.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may revoke this Account at any time within seven calendar days after it
is
established by mailing or delivering a written request for revocation to:
Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company, Inc.
ATTN: Integrated Transaction Services
P.O. Box 1182, Mail Zone ZR5
Boston, Massachusetts 02103-1182
Upon revocation, you will receive a full refund of your initial
contribution,
including sales commissions (if any) and/or administrative fees. To
determine
where to send a revocation request, or if you have any questions relative
to
this procedure, please call our toll free number, 1-800-843-3001.
TYPES OF IRAS
REGULAR IRA. You may make a Regular IRA contribution of $2,000 or 100% of
your
compensation, whichever is less. (To determine the amount of your income
tax
deduction for your IRA contribution, see "Limits on Deductible
Contributions"
below.)
SPOUSAL IRA. If you and your spouse file a joint federal income tax return,
you
may make a Spousal IRA contribution, even if your spouse has received
compensation during the tax year. Your contribution to a Spousal IRA must
not
exceed the lesser of (1) $2,000 or (2) the excess of $2,250 (or if less,
100%
of your compensation) over your contribution to your Regular IRA. Note: If
your
spouse has more than $250 in compensation for the tax year, the two of you
may
make a larger total contribution if you each contribute to a Regular IRA.
ROLLOVER IRA. If you retire or change jobs, you may be eligible for a
distribution from your employer's retirement plan. To avoid mandatory
withholding of 20% of your distribution for federal income tax, and to
preserve
the tax-deferred status of this distribution, you can transfer it directly
to a
Rollover IRA. If you choose to have the distribution paid directly to you,
you
will be subject to the 20% withholding rules. You may still reinvest up to
100%
of the total amount of your distribution that is eligible for rollover in a
Rollover IRA by replacing the 20% that was withheld for taxes with other
assets
you own. You must reinvest in a Rollover IRA within 60 days of receipt of
your
distribution. The amount invested in a Rollover IRA will not be included in
your taxable income for the year in which you receive the qualified plan
distribution.
DESCRIPTION
OF ACCOUNT
Your IRA is a custodial account created for your exclusive benefit. Your
interest in the account is nonforfeitable.
ELIGIBILITY
Employees and self-employed individuals are eligible to contribute to an
IRA
even if they are already covered under another tax-qualified plan.
Employers
may contribute to IRAs established by their employees, and employers may
contribute to IRAs used as part of a Simplified Employee Pension Plan
("SEP,"
described below).
CONTRIBUTIONS
GENERAL. You may make annual cash contributions to an IRA in any amount up
to
100% of your compensation for the year or $2,000, whichever is less. Your
employer may make contributions to your account, but, except as noted below
under a SEP, the total contributions from you and your employer may not
exceed
this limitation. Contributions (other than rollover contributions described
below) must be made in "cash" and not in "kind." Therefore, securities or
other
assets already owned cannot be contributed to an IRA but can be converted
to
cash and then contributed. No part of your contribution may be invested in
life
insurance or be commingled with other property, except in a common trust
fund
or common investment fund.
SPOUSAL ACCOUNTS. If you are married and file a joint tax return, you may
make
cash contributions to a "spousal" IRA in addition to your own IRA (even if
your
spouse has compensation). The total amounts contributed to your own and to
your
spouse's IRA may not exceed 100% of your combined compensation or $2,250,
whichever is less. In no event, however, may the annual contribution to
either
your account or your spouse's account exceed $2,000.
COMPENSATION means wages, salaries, professional fees, or other amounts
derived
from or received for personal service actually rendered and includes the
earned
income of a self-employed individual, and any alimony or separate
maintenance
payment includible in the individual's gross income.
ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME is determined prior to adjustments for personal
exemptions and itemized deductions. For purposes of determining the IRA
deduction (see below), adjusted gross income is modified to take into
account
deductions for IRA contributions, taxable benefits under the Social
Security
Act and the Railroad Retirement Act, and passive loss limitations under
Code
Section 86.
TIME OF CONTRIBUTION. You may make contributions to your IRA any time up to
and
including the due date (not including extensions) for filing your tax
return
for the year. You may continue to make annual contributions to your IRA up
to
(but not including) the calendar year in which you reach age 70 1/2. You
may
continue to make annual contributions to your spouse's IRA up to (but not
including) the calendar year in which your spouse reaches age 70 1/2.
ROLLOVER IRA CONTRIBUTIONS. Qualifying distributions from tax-qualified
plans
(for example, pension, profit-sharing, and Keogh plans) may be eligible for
rollover into your IRA. However, strict limitations apply to such rollovers
and
you should seek competent tax advice regarding these restrictions.
SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS. A separate IRA may be
established for use by your employer as part of a SEP arrangement. Your
employer may contribute to your SEP-IRA up to a maximum of 15% of your
compensation or $30,000, whichever is less. If your SEP-IRA is used as part
of
a salary reduction SEP, you may elect to reduce your annual compensation,
up to
a maximum of 15% of your compensation or $7,000 (indexed to reflect
cost-of-living adjustments), whichever is less, and have your employer
contribute that amount to your SEP-IRA. If your employer maintains both a
salary reduction SEP and a regular SEP, the annual contribution limit to
both
SEPs together is 15% of your compensation or $30,000, whichever is less.
You
may contribute, in addition to the amount contributed by your employer to
your
SEP-IRA, an amount not in excess of the limits referred to under "General"
above. It is your and your employer's responsibility to see that
contributions
in excess of normal IRA limits are made under a valid SEP and are,
therefore,
proper.
EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS. Contributions that exceed the allowable maximum per
year
are considered excess contributions. A nondeductible penalty tax of 6% of
the
excess amount contributed will be incurred for each year in which the
excess
contribution remains in your IRA. If you make a contribution (or your
employer
makes a SEP contribution, including a salary reduction contribution, on
your
behalf) in excess of your allowable maximum for any taxable year, you may
correct the excess contribution and avoid the 6% penalty tax for that year
by
withdrawing the excess contribution and its earnings on or before the date,
including extensions, for filing your tax return for that year.
The amount of the excess contribution withdrawn will not be considered a
premature distribution or (except in the case of a salary reduction
contribution) be taxed as ordinary income, but the earnings withdrawn will
be
taxed as ordinary income to you. Alternatively, excess contributions for
one
year may be carried forward and reported in the next year to the extent
that
the excess, when aggregated with your IRA contribution (if any) for the
subsequent year, does not exceed the maximum amount for that year. The 6%
excise tax will be imposed on excess contributions in each year they are
neither returned nor carried forward.
DEDUCTIBLE IRA
CONTRIBUTIONS
If you are not married and are not an active participant in an
employer-maintained retirement plan, you may make a fully deductible IRA
contribution in any amount up to 100% of your compensation for the year or
$2,000, whichever is less. The same limits apply if you are married and you
file a joint return with your spouse, and neither of you is an active
participant in an employer-maintained retirement plan. An
"employer-maintained
retirement plan" includes any of the following types of retirement plans:
- a qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus plan established in
accordance with IRC (sec. mk.) 401 (a) or 401 (k).
- a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEP) (IRC (sec. mk.) 408(k)).
- a deferred compensation plan maintained by a governmental unit or
agency.
- tax sheltered annuities and custodial accounts (IRC (sec. mk.) 403(b)
and
403(b)(7)).
- a qualified annuity plan under IRC (sec. mk.) 403(a).
You are an active participant in an employer maintained retirement plan
even
if you do not have a vested right to any benefits under your employer's
plan.
Whether you are an "active participant" depends on the type of plan
maintained
by your employer. Generally, you are considered an active participant in a
defined contribution plan if an employer contribution or forfeiture was
credited to your account under the plan during the year. You are considered
an
active participant in a defined benefit plan if you are eligible to
participate
in the plan, even though you elect not to participate. You are also treated
as
an active participant for a year during which you make a voluntary or
mandatory
contribution to any type of plan, even though your employer makes no
contribution to the plan.
If you (or your spouse, if you are filing a joint tax return) are covered
by an
employer-maintained retirement plan, your IRA contribution is tax
deductible
only to the extent that your adjusted gross income does not exceed the
deductibility limits discussed below.
LIMITS ON
DEDUCTIBLE
CONTRIBUTIONS
The deduction of your IRA contribution is reduced proportionately for
adjusted
gross income that exceeds the applicable dollar amount. The applicable
dollar
amount for an individual is $25,000 and $40,000 for married couples filing
a
joint tax return. The applicable dollar limit for married individuals
filing
separate returns is $0. If your adjusted gross income exceeds the
applicable
dollar amount by not more than $10,000, you may make a deductible IRA
contribution (but the deductible amount will be less than $2,000).
To determine the amount of your deductible contribution, use the following
calculation:
1. Subtract the applicable dollar amount from your adjusted gross income.
If
the result is $10,000 or more, stop; you can only make a nondeductible
contribution.
2. Subtract the above figure from $10,000.
3. Divide the above figure by $10,000.
4. Multiply $2,000 by the fraction resulting from the above steps. This is
your
maximum deductible contribution limit.
If the deduction limit is not a multiple of $10, then it is to be rounded
up to
the next highest $10. There is a $200 minimum floor on the deduction limit
if
your adjusted gross income does not exceed $35,000 (for a single taxpayer),
$50,000 (for married taxpayers filing jointly) or $10,000 (for a married
taxpayer filing separately).
Adjusted gross income for married couples filing a joint tax return is
calculated by aggregating the compensation of both spouses. The deduction
limitations on IRA contributions, as determined above, then apply to each
spouse.
NONDEDUCTIBLE
IRA
CONTRIBUTIONS
Even if your income exceeds the limits described above, you may make a
contribution to your IRA up to the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of your
compensation. To the extent that your contribution exceeds the deductible
limits, it will be nondeductible. Earnings on all IRA contributions are tax
deferred until distribution.
You are required to designate on your tax return (and attach to it Form
8606)
the extent to which your IRA contribution is nondeductible. Therefore, your
designation must be made by the due date (including extensions) for filing
your
tax return. If you overstate the amount of nondeductible contributions for
a
taxable year, a penalty of $100 will be assessed for each overstatement
unless
you can show that the overstatement was due to a reasonable cause.
INVESTMENT
OF ACCOUNT
The assets in your IRA will be invested in accordance with your
instructions.
As with any investment, you should read any publicly available information
(e.g., prospectuses, annual reports, the terms and conditions of any
insurance
annuity contract, etc.) that would enable you to make an informed
investment
decision.
If no investment instructions are received from you, or if the instructions
received are, in the opinion of the Custodian, unclear, you may be
requested to
provide instructions. In the absence of such instructions, your investment
may
be invested in Money Market Shares, which strive to maintain a stable $1
per
share balance. Keep in mind that with respect to investments in regulated
investment company shares (i.e., mutual funds) held in your account, growth
in
the value of your account cannot be guaranteed or projected.
DISTRIBUTIONS
GENERAL. Distributions from your IRA should begin no earlier than the date
you
reach age 59 1/2 (except in cases of your earlier disability or death) and
no
later than the April 1 following the year in which you reach age 70 1/2.
Distributions from your account will be included in your gross income for
federal income tax purposes for the year in which you receive them.
PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. To the extent they are included in income,
distributions from your IRA made before you reach age 59 1/2 will be
subject to
a 10% nondeductible penalty tax (in addition to being taxable as ordinary
income) unless the distribution is an exempt withdrawal of an excess
contribution, or the distribution is rolled over to another qualified
retirement plan, or the distribution is made on account of your death or
disability, or the distribution is one of a scheduled series of payments
over
your life or life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of yourself and
your Beneficiary.
LATEST TIME TO WITHDRAW. You must begin receiving distributions of the
assets
in your account by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year
in
which you reach age 70 1/2. Subsequent distributions must be made by
December
31 of each year. If you maintain more than one IRA, you may take from any
of
your IRAs the aggregate amount to be withdrawn.
MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. Once distributions are required to begin, they must
not
be less than the amount each year (determined by actuarial tables) that
would
exhaust the value of the account over the required distribution period,
which
is generally your life expectancy or the joint life and last survivor
expectancy of you and an individual you have designated as your
Beneficiary.
You will be subject to a 50% excise tax on the amount by which the
distribution
you actually received in any year falls short of the minimum distribution
required for the year.
METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION. Assets may be distributed from your account
according
to one or more of the following methods selected by you:
(A) total distribution
(B) distribution over a certain period
(C) purchase of an annuity contract
(See Article IV of your IRA Custodial Agreement for a full description of
these
distribution methods.)
DISTRIBUTION UPON DEATH. The assets remaining in your Account will be
distributed upon your death to the beneficiary(ies) named by you on record
with
the Custodian. If there is no beneficiary designated for your Account in
the
Custodian's records, or if the beneficiary you had designated dies before
you
do, your Account will be paid to your surviving spouse, or if none, to your
estate.
If your spouse was your primary beneficiary and you had started to receive
distributions from your account, but die before receiving the balance of
your
account, your spouse has several options. Your spouse can either keep
receiving
distributions from your account at least as rapidly, or roll over all or
part
of your account into an IRA in his or her name. If distributions from your
account had not yet begun, your spouse may defer taking distributions until
April 1 of the year you would have turned 70 1/2, and then receive
distributions over his or her life expectancy, or roll over the account
into an
IRA in their name, and treat the IRA as his or her own.
If your beneficiary is not your spouse, and distributions had begun from
your
account, your beneficiary may continue to receive them at least as rapidly
as
the payment schedule you had established. If distributions had not yet
begun,
your beneficiary must deplete your account within five (5) years of your
death,
or start taking distributions from your account within one year of your
death
over their own life expectancy.
DISTRIBUTION OF NONDEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS. To the extent that a
distribution
constitutes a return of your nondeductible contributions, it will not be
included in your income. The amount of any distribution excludable from
income
is the portion that bears the same ratio to the total distribution that
your
aggregate nondeductible contributions bear to the balance at the end of the
year (calculated after adding back distributions during the year) of your
IRA.
For this purpose, all of your IRAs are treated as a single IRA.
Furthermore,
all distributions from an IRA during a taxable year are to be treated as
one
distribution. The aggregate amount of distributions excludable from income
for
all years is not to exceed the aggregate nondeductible contributions for
all
calendar years. There is a 10% additional income tax assessed against
premature distributions to the extent such distributions are includible in
income (see "Premature Distributions" above).
EXCESS DISTRIBUTIONS. There is a 15% excise tax assessed against annual
distributions from tax-favored retirement plans, including IRAs, that
exceed
the greater of $150,000 or $112,500 (indexed to reflect cost-of-living
increases). To determine whether you have distributions in excess of this
limit, you must aggregate the amounts of all distributions received by you
during the calendar year from all retirement plans, including IRAs. Please
consult with your tax advisor for more complete information, including the
availability of favorable elections.
ROLLOVER TREATMENT. Distributions from your IRA representing all or any
part of
the assets in your IRA account are also eligible for rollover treatment.
You
may roll over all or any part of the same property from this distribution
of
assets, within 60 days of receipt, into another IRA or individual
retirement
annuity, and maintain the tax-deferred status of these assets. A 60 day
rollover can be made once every twelve months per IRA.
DIVORCE OR
LEGAL
SEPARATION
If all or any portion of your IRA is awarded to a former spouse pursuant to
divorce or legal separation, such portion can be transferred to an IRA in
the
receiving spouse's name. This transaction can be processed without any tax
implications to you provided a written instrument executed by a court
incident
to the divorce or legal separation in accordance with Section 408(d)(6) of
the
Code is received by the Custodian, and specifically directs such transfer.
In
addition, you must also provide the Custodian with a letter of instruction
and
an IRA application executed by the receiving spouse, if she or he doesn't
already maintain such IRA at Fidelity.
FEES AND
EXPENSES
Fees and other expenses of maintaining your Fidelity IRA account are
described
in the Application and may be changed from time to time, as provided in the
Custodial Agreement.
PROHIBITED
TRANSACTIONS
If any of the events prohibited by Section 4975 of the Code (such as any
sale,
exchange or leasing of any property between you and your IRA) occurs during
the
existence of your IRA, your account will be disqualified and the entire
balance
in your account will be treated as if distributed to you as of the first
day of
the year in which the prohibited event occurs. This "distribution" would be
subject to ordinary income tax and, if you were under age 59 1/2 at the
time,
to the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions.
If you or your Beneficiary use (pledge) all or any part of your IRA as
security
for a loan, then the portion so pledged will be treated as if distributed
to
you, and will be taxable to you as ordinary income and subject to the 10%
penalty during the year in which you make such a pledge.
OTHER TAX
CONSIDERATIONS
NO SPECIAL TAX TREATMENT. No distribution to you or anyone else from your
account can qualify for capital gain treatment under the federal income tax
laws. It is taxed to the person receiving the distribution as ordinary
income.
(Similarly, you are not entitled to the five-year averaging rule for lump
sum
distributions available to persons receiving distributions from certain
other
types of retirement plans.)
GIFT TAX. If you elect during your lifetime to have all or any part of your
account payable to a Beneficiary at or after your death, the election will
not
subject you to any gift tax liability.
TAX WITHHOLDING. Federal income tax will be withheld from distributions you
receive from an IRA unless you elect not to have tax withheld. However, if
IRA
distributions are to be delivered outside of the United States, this tax is
mandatory and you may not elect otherwise unless you certify to the
Custodian
that you are not a U.S. citizen residing overseas or a "tax avoidance
expatriate" as described in Code Section 877. Federal income tax will be
withheld at the rate of 10%.
REPORTING FOR TAX PURPOSES. Contributions to your IRA must be reported on
your
tax Form 1040 or 1040A for the taxable year contributed. You will be
required
to designate your IRA contribution as deductible or nondeductible. You are
also
required to attach a Form 8606 to your 1040 or 1040A form. Form 8606 is
used to
report nondeductible IRA contributions and to calculate the basis
(nontaxable
part) of your IRA. Other reporting will be required by you in the event
that
special taxes or penalties described herein are due. You must also file
Treasury Form 5329 with the IRS for each taxable year in which the
contribution
limits are exceeded, a premature distribution takes place, or less than the
required minimum amount is distributed from your IRA. The Tax Reform Act of
1986 also requires you to report the amount of all distributions you
received
from your IRA and the aggregate account balance of all IRAs as of the end
of
the calendar year.
IRS APPROVAL
The form of your Individual Retirement Account has been approved by the
Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service approval is a
determination only as to the form and does not represent a determination of
the
merits of the Account. You may obtain further information with respect to
your
IRA from any district office of the Internal Revenue Service.
