PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one
can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at
the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change,
or the growth of a hypothetical $100,000 investment. Total return includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells investments that
have grown in value). You can also look at income to measure performance.

</TABLE>
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class I's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund began on November 10, 1986. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class I's returns to the
performance of the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government Bond Index and the
Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index - both broad measures of
the performance of U.S. government bonds. To measure how Class I stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the average short U.S. government
fund, which reflects the performance of 137 funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing Class I's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps
show how the Class did compared to inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the
month end closest to the fund's start date.)

$100,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say you invested $100,000 in Fidelity
Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Portfolio - Class I on November
30, 1986, shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31,
1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $183,807 - an 83.81%
increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index did over the same period.
With dividends reinvested, the same $100,000 would have grown to $187,894 -
an 87.89% increase. Beginning with this report, the fund will compare its
performance to the Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index rather
than the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index. Although the difference in
performance between the two indexes is small, the Salomon Brothers
Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index includes fewer securities and is more
straightforward to monitor on a daily basis. For comparison purposes, both
indexes are shown on Performance: The Bottom Line, Page 4.
 
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of 
how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for 
example, generally move in the opposite 
direction of interest rates. In turn, the share 
price, return, and yield of a fund that invests in 
bonds will vary. That means if you sell your 
shares during a market downturn, you might 
lose money. But if you can ride out the market's 
ups and downs, you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested.

on an average net asset value of $9.47 over the past month, $9.32 over the
past six months and $9.35 over the past year, you can compare Class I's
income over these three periods. 
The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all bond funds based
on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days.
This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
 
An interview with 
Curt 
Hollingsworth, 
Portfolio Manager 
of Fidelity 
Institutional 
Short-Intermediat
e Government 
Portfolio - Class I
Q. CURT, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It has performed well. For the six months ended May 31, 1995, Class I
had a total return of 7.28%, compared to a total return of 6.41% for the
average short U.S. government bond fund tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services. For the 12 months ended May 31, Class I returned 8.22%, while the
average short U.S. government bond fund had a total return of 6.65%,
according to Lipper. For the six- and 12-month periods, the Salomon
Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index posted returns of 7.52% and 8.15%,
respectively.
Q. WHAT IS MEANT BY TOTAL RETURN?
A. We recently held focus groups around the country with a number of bond
investors who have holdings in Fidelity funds as well as other fund
companies. One point became very clear - many bond fund investors don't
understand total return. Unfortunately, they watch a fund's share price,
and if it's down 5% over a year, they assume they've lost 5% of their
money. But they're forgetting that they have received dividends every month
that offset much of the price decline. Investors need to know that interest
income is the main source of return for a bond fund over the long term.
Fortunately, total return is easy to explain by using a "dollars in,
dollars out" example. If someone invested $100 in this bond fund a year ago
and reinvested all dividends and capital gains, then their investment would
be worth $108.22 today. That is what is meant by a cumulative total return
of 8.22%. 
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND BEAT THE AVERAGE FUND?
A. The fund took advantage of good opportunities in U.S. agency securities
during the period. Short-term agency issues reached their widest yield
spreads in several years, so I more than doubled the fund's weighting in
them by the end of April. By yield spread I mean a yield advantage, or the
difference in yield between agency issues and U.S. Treasuries with the same
maturities. By the end of April, the spread had tightened, causing the U.S.
agency securities to outperform comparable Treasury notes. As a result, I
started taking some profits.
Q. YOU'VE REDUCED THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES TO
19.3% AS OF MAY 31. WHAT'S THE STORY THERE?
A. Early in the period, the fund owned more mortgage-backed securities
because they offered a significant yield advantage over comparable Treasury
securities. When the yield spread between mortgage-backed securities and
U.S. Treasuries increases - as it had by early 1994 - mortgage securities
typically do quite well going forward. But by the end of 1994, mortgage
securities offered only a small yield advantage, so I started selling them
to take profits. In their place, I bought the agency securities I've just
mentioned.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU POSITIONED THE FUND IN TERMS OF BOND MATURITIES?
A. A year ago, the fund had a relatively large weighting in cash, which
obviously is a very short-term investment, and also in longer-term
securities. At that point, the fund was relatively light in intermediate
securities with maturities of two to three years. As interest rates rose,
yields on intermediate-term securities rose more than yields on longer-term
securities. This strategy, known as a "barbell," helped the fund's
performance through most of 1994.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU ALTERED YOUR STRATEGY NOW THAT YIELDS HAVE FALLEN IN 1995?
A. At the end of 1994, the yield curve, or the difference in yield between
securities with various maturities, was quite flat. When that occurs,
longer-term bonds offer very little additional yield over shorter
securities. Based on historical information, I felt that the yield curve
wouldn't flatten much more, and, if anything, might steepen a little. In
the fourth quarter of 1994, I moved the fund to a "laddered" maturity
distribution, meaning it was more diversified across securities with
maturities ranging from one to five years in most cases. In fact, the curve
started to steepen in December, and the fund benefited from having a
laddered structure.
Q. WHAT DO YOU SEE LOOKING OUT OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. It's very difficult to predict the direction of interest rates. As a
result, I don't intend to actively manage the fund's duration in
anticipation of interest rate changes. Instead, I will try to manage the
fund so that it will have approximately the same duration as the Salomon
Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index. Duration is an estimate of how
sensitive the fund's share price is to a change in comparable interest
rates. As I mentioned earlier, based on the current shape of the yield
curve, I have laddered the fund. During the next six months, if I concluded
that the yield curve were likely to steepen further, I might give the fund
a "bulleted" maturity distribution by overweighting intermediate securities
such as two-year and three-year Treasury notes, whose yields would drop
more than the yields on longer-term bonds, if the yield curve did steepen.
As far as sector weights go, I most likely will invest more of the fund in
mortgage-backed securities when they once again offer significantly higher
yields than comparable Treasuries.

CURT HOLLINGSWORTH ON THE DOLLAR AND 
ITS IMPACT ON INTEREST RATES:
"The weakening U.S. dollar has garnered a lot 
of media attention lately. Many analysts have 
forecast that the Federal Reserve Board might 
be forced to raise interest rates in order to 
support the dollar. However, in my view, the 
exchange rate won't be the driving factor in 
determining Fed policy. Instead, inflation and 
the economy will play bigger roles in 
determining Fed actions.
"It's important to remember that most of today's 
headlines relate to the dollar's value relative to 
the yen or the deutsche mark. However, the 
dollar has been strong against the currencies of 
Mexico and Canada, two of our three biggest 
trading partners. In fact, while the value of the 
dollar has fallen against the yen and deutsche 
mark since 1990, it has risen against a broader 
index of 101 foreign currencies that is weighted 
by the volume of trade with the United States."
(solid bullet)  Most of the agency securities the manager 
was selling during the period were callable 
bonds, meaning they were redeemable before 
their stated maturity dates. The manager 
bought them at a deep discount. As short-term 
Treasury rates dropped significantly over the 
past few months, the risk the bonds would be 
called increased, because the point where it 
would be possible for the issuers to redeem 
them and reissue new ones at lower rates was 
near. Because the market hadn't priced in the 
increased call risk, the manager was able to sell 
the securities at prices that were high in light of 
historical levels.
(solid bullet)  With recent drops in short-term Treasury 
yields, mortgage-backed securities started to 
become inexpensive, relative to Treasuries. 
One indication of this is that mortgage yield 
spreads are significantly wider today than they 
were at the beginning of the year.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Portfolio (the fund)
is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series IV (the trust) and is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class I and Class II shares, each of which has equal rights
as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to its distribution plan. The fund commenced sale of Class II
shares on December 30, 1993. Investment income, realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses, and the common expenses of the fund are allocated
on a prorata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in
its respective distribution fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
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 of their purchase date 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.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends are declared separately for each class,
while capital gain distributions are declared at the fund level and
allocated to each class on a prorata basis based on the number of shares
held by each class on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, market discount and losses deferred due
to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss) and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

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. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial
records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses
may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities
or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. government and government agency
obligations aggregated $382,601,222 and $411,151,364, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses,
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses and 
effective December 30, 1993, 12b-1 fees for Class II. FMR receives a fee
that is computed daily at an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted a separate distribution plan with respect to
the fund's Class II shares ("Class II Plan"), pursuant to which the fund
pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .25%
of average net assets of the Class II shares. For the period, the fund paid
FDC $125 of which $0 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other
financial institutions for the distribution of Class II shares, 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. No payments were made to third parties under
the Plan during the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $9,433,000 and $5,273,500,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 6.2139%.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one
can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at
the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change,
or the growth of a hypothetical $100,000 investment. Total return includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells investments that
have grown in value). You can also look at income to measure performance.
On December 30, 1993 the fund commenced sale of Class II shares. Class II
shares bear a .25% 12b-1 shareholder service fee. This fee is not reflected
in returns prior to that date. Returns prior to December 30, 1993 reflect
Class I's performance. Had Class II's 12b-1 fee been reflected, prior
returns would have been lower.

</TABLE>
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class II's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund began on November 10, 1986. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class II's returns to the
performance of the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government Bond Index and the
Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index - both broad measures of
the performance of U.S. government bonds. To measure how Class II stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the average short U.S.
government fund, which reflects the performance of 137 funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing Class II's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps
show how the Class did compared to inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the
month end closest to the fund's start date.)

$100,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say you invested $100,000 in Fidelity
Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Portfolio - Class II on
November 30, 1986, shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by
May 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $183,159 -
an 83.16% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index did over the same
period. With dividends reinvested, the same $100,000 would have grown to
$187,894 - an 87.89% increase. Beginning with this report, the fund will
compare its performance to the Salomon Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year
Index rather than the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index. Although the
difference in performance between the two indexes is small, the Salomon
Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index includes fewer securities and is
more straightforward to monitor on a daily basis. For comparison purposes,
both indexes are shown on Performance: The Botton Line, Page 4.
 
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of 
how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for 
example, generally move in the opposite 
direction of interest rates. In turn, the share 
price, return, and yield of a fund that invests in 
bonds will vary. That means if you sell your 
shares during a market downturn, you might 
lose money. But if you can ride out the market's 
ups and downs, you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
 
An interview with 
Curt 
Hollingsworth, 
Portfolio Manager 
of Fidelity 
Institutional 
Short-Intermediat
e Government 
Portfolio - Class I
Q. CURT, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It has performed well.  For the six months ended May 31, 1995, Class II
had a total return of 7.15%, compared to a total return of 6.41% for the
average short U.S. government bond fund tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services.  For the 12 months ended May 31, Class II returned 7.95%, while
the average short U.S. government bond fund had a total return of 6.65%,
according to Lipper.  For the six- and 12-month periods, the Salomon
Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index posted returns of 7.52% and 8.15%,
respectively.
Q. WHAT IS MEANT BY TOTAL RETURN?
A. We recently held focus groups around the country with a number of bond
investors who have holdings in Fidelity funds as well as other fund
companies.  One point became very clear - many bond fund investors don't
understand total return.  Unfortunately, they watch a fund's share price,
and if it's down 5% over a year, they assume they've lost 5% of their
money.  But they're forgetting that they have received dividends every
month that offset much of the price decline.  Investors need to know that
interest income is the main source of return for a bond fund over the long
term.  Fortunately, total return is easy to explain by using a "dollars in,
dollars out" example.  If someone invested $100 in this bond fund a year
ago and reinvested all dividends and capital gains, then their investment
would be worth $107.95 today.  That is what is meant by a cumulative total
return of 7.95%.  
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND BEAT THE AVERAGE FUND?
A. The fund took advantage of good opportunities in U.S. agency securities
during the period.  Short-term agency issues reached their widest yield
spreads in several years, so I more than doubled the fund's weighting in
them by the end of April.  By yield spread I mean a yield advantage, or the
difference in yield between agency issues and U.S. Treasuries with the same
maturities.  By the end of April, the spread had tightened, causing the
U.S. agency securities to outperform comparable Treasury notes.  As a
result, I started taking some profits.
Q. YOU'VE REDUCED THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES TO
19.3% AS OF MAY 31.  WHAT'S THE STORY THERE?
A. Early in the period, the fund owned more mortgage-backed securities
because they offered a significant yield advantage over comparable Treasury
securities.  When the yield spread between mortgage-backed securities and
U.S. Treasuries increases - as it had by early 1994 - mortgage securities
typically do quite well going forward.  But by the end of 1994, mortgage
securities offered only a small yield advantage, so I started selling them
to take profits.  In their place, I bought the agency securities I've just
mentioned.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU POSITIONED THE FUND IN TERMS OF BOND MATURITIES?
A. A year ago, the fund had a relatively large weighting in cash, which
obviously is a very short-term investment, and also in longer-term
securities.  At that point, the fund was relatively light in intermediate
securities with maturities of two to three years.  As interest rates rose,
yields on intermediate-term securities rose more than yields on longer-term
securities.  This strategy, known as a "barbell," helped the fund's
performance through most of 1994.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU ALTERED YOUR STRATEGY NOW THAT YIELDS HAVE FALLEN IN 1995?
A. At the end of 1994, the yield curve, or the difference in yield between
securities with various maturities, was quite flat.  When that occurs,
longer-term bonds offer very little additional yield over shorter
securities.  Based on historical information, I felt that the yield curve
wouldn't flatten much more, and, if anything, might steepen a little.  In
the fourth quarter of 1994, I moved the fund to a "laddered" maturity
distribution, meaning it was more diversified across securities with
maturities ranging from one to five years in most cases.  In fact, the
curve started to steepen in December, and the fund benefited from having a
laddered structure.
Q. WHAT DO YOU SEE LOOKING OUT OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. It's very difficult to predict the direction of interest rates.  As a
result, I don't intend to actively manage the fund's duration in
anticipation of interest rate changes.  Instead, I will try to manage the
fund so that it will have approximately the same duration as the Salomon
Brothers Treasury/Agency 1-5 Year Index.  Duration is an estimate of how
sensitive the fund's share price is to a change in comparable interest
rates.  As I mentioned earlier, based on the current shape of the yield
curve, I have laddered the fund.  During the next six months, if I
concluded that the yield curve were likely to steepen further, I might give
the fund a "bulleted" maturity distribution by overweighting intermediate
securities such as two-year and three-year Treasury notes, whose yields
would drop more than the yields on longer-term bonds, if the yield curve
did steepen.  As far as sector weights go, I most likely will invest more
of the fund in mortgage-backed securities when they once again offer
significantly higher yields than comparable Treasuries.

CURT HOLLINGSWORTH ON THE DOLLAR AND 
ITS IMPACT ON INTEREST RATES:
"The weakening U.S. dollar has garnered a lot 
of media attention lately.  Many analysts have 
forecast that the Federal Reserve Board might 
be forced to raise interest rates in order to 
support the dollar.  However, in my view, the 
exchange rate won't be the driving factor in 
determining Fed policy.  Instead, inflation and 
the economy will play bigger roles in 
determining Fed actions.
"It's important to remember that most of today's 
headlines relate to the dollar's value relative to 
the yen or the deutsche mark.  However, the 
dollar has been strong against the currencies of 
Mexico and Canada, two of our three biggest 
trading partners.  In fact, while the value of the 
dollar has fallen against the yen and deutsche 
mark since 1990, it has risen against a broader 
index of 101 foreign currencies that is weighted 
by the volume of trade with the United States."
(solid bullet)  Most of the agency securities the manager 
was selling during the period were callable 
bonds, meaning they were redeemable before 
their stated maturity dates. The manager 
bought them at a deep discount. As short-term 
Treasury rates dropped significantly over the 
past few months, the risk the bonds would be 
called increased, because the point where it 
would be possible for the issuers to redeem 
them and reissue new ones at lower rates was 
near. Because the market hadn't priced in the 
increased call risk, the manager was able to sell 
the securities at prices that were high in light of 
historical levels.
(solid bullet)  With recent drops in short-term Treasury 
yields, mortgage-backed securities started to 
become inexpensive, relative to Treasuries. 
One indication of this is that mortgage yield 
spreads are significantly wider today than they 
were at the beginning of the year.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Portfolio (the fund)
is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series IV (the trust) and is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class I and Class II shares, each of which has equal rights
as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to its distribution plan. The fund commenced sale of Class II
shares on December 30, 1993. Investment income, realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses, and the common expenses of the fund are allocated
on a prorata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in
its respective distribution fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
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 of their purchase date 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.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends are declared separately for each class,
while capital gain distributions are declared at the fund level and
allocated to each class on a prorata basis based on the number of shares
held by each class on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain securities, market discount and losses deferred due
to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss) and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial
records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses
may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities
or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. government and government agency
obligations aggregated $382,601,222 and $411,151,364, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses,
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses and 
effective December 30, 1993, 12b-1 fees for Class II. FMR receives a fee
that is computed daily at an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted a separate distribution plan with respect to
the fund's Class II shares ("Class II Plan"), pursuant to which the fund
pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .25%
of average net assets of the Class II shares. For the period, the fund paid
FDC $125 of which $0 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other
financial institutions for the distribution of Class II shares, 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. No payments were made to third parties under
the Plan during the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $9,433,000 and $5,273,500,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 6.2139%.
