Mr. John Costello
Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity Advisor Series IV
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, MA 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity Advisor Series IV (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business
trust created under a written Declaration of Trust under the name
First Income Portfolio: Intermediate, dated, executed and delivered
in Boston on May 6, 1983. The name of the Trust was changed to
Fixed Income Portfolios by Supplement to the Declaration of Trust,
dated and executed on July 22, 1983 and delivered in Boston,
Massachusetts on July 26, 1983. The Declaration of Trust was
Amended and Restated effective and executed October 26, 1984,
and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on November 7, 1984. The
name of the Trust was changed to Income Portfolios by
Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, dated, executed and
delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on March 3, 1987. A
Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, effective October 1, 1987,
was executed on September 30, 1987 and delivered in Boston,
Massachusetts on October 19, 1987. Further, a Supplement to the
Declaration of Trust, effective January 1, 1989, was executed on
December 30, 1988 and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on
January 17, 1989. The name of the Trust was changed to Fidelity
Income Trust by a Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, dated,
executed and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on January 8,
1992. The name of the trust was again changed to Fidelity Advisor
Series IV by an Amendment to the Declaration of Trust executed
on May 3, 1993 and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on May 5,
1993.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Under Article III, Section 1, of the Declaration of Trust, the
beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into separate and
distinct Series as the Trustees shall from time to time create and
establish. The number of Shares is unlimited and each Share is
without par value and shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The
Trustees shall have full power and authority, in their sole discretion
and without obtaining any prior authorization or vote of the Trust,
to create and establish (and to change in any manner) Shares with
such preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges as the
Trustees may from time to time determine, to divide or combine the
Shares into a greater or lesser number, to classify or reclassify any
issued Shares into one or more Series of Shares, to abolish any one
or more Series of Shares and to take such other action with respect
to the Shares as the Trustees may deem desirable.
Under Article III, Section 4, the Trustees shall accept investments
in the Trust from such persons and on such terms as they may from
time to time authorize. Such investments may be in the form of
cash or securities in which the appropriate Series is authorized to
invest, valued as provided in Article X, Section 3. After the date of
the initial contribution of capital, the number of Shares to represent
the initial contribution may in the Trustees' discretion be considered
as outstanding and the amount received by the Trustees on account
of the contribution shall be treated as an asset of the Trust.
Subsequent investments in the Trust shall be credited to each
Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares at the Net Asset
Value per Share next determined after the investment is received;
provided, however, that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion,
(a) impose a sales charge upon investments in the Trust and (b)
issue fractional Shares.
By a vote adopted on June 21, 1983, as amended February 22,
1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the issue and sale, from
time to time, of an unlimited number of shares of the beneficial
interest of this Trust in accordance with the terms included in each
fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and
subject to the limitations of the Declaration of Trust and any
amendments thereto.
I understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust has registered an
indefinite number of Shares of beneficial interest under the
Securities Act of 1933. I further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Trust intends to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a notice making definite the
registration of 30,967,090 shares of the Trust sold in reliance upon
Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994.
I am of the opinion that all necessary Trust action precedent to the
issue of the Shares, has been duly taken and that all the Shares were
legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable
except as described in each fund's Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information dated June 30, 1994, under the heading
"Description of the Trust." In rendering this opinion, I rely on the
representation by the Trust that it or its agents received
consideration for the Shares in accordance with the Trust's
Declaration of Trust, and I express no opinion as to the compliance
with the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment Company Act of
1940, or applicable state "Blue Sky" or securities laws in
connection with sales of Shares.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with a Rule 24f-2 Notice that
you are about to file under the 1940 Act with said Commission.
Sincerely,
/s/ Arthur S. Loring
