Mr. John Costello
Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity Advisor Series IV (the trust)
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund
Fidelity Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Fund
Fidelity Real Estate High Income Fund (the funds)
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, MA 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity Advisor Series IV is a Massachusetts business trust
initially created under the name First Income Portfolio:
Intermediate by a written Declaration of Trust dated, executed,
and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on May 6, 1983. The
name of the trust was changed to Fixed Income Portfolios by a
Supplement to the Declaration of Trust dated July 22, 1983 and
filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
(the Commonwealth) on July 26, 1983. The Declaration of Trust
was amended and restated on October 26, 1984 and filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth on November 7, 1984. The
trust's name was changed to Income Portfolios by a Supplement
to the Declaration of Trust dated and filed with the Secretary of
the Commonwealth on March 3, 1987. A Supplement to the
Declaration of Trust, effective October 1, 1987, was executed on
September 30, 1987 and filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth on October 19, 1987. Another Supplement to the
Declaration of Trust, effective January 1, 1989, was executed on
December 30, 1988 and filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth on January 17, 1989. Effective January 29, 1992,
the name of the trust was changed to Fidelity Income Trust by a
Supplement to the Declaration of Trust executed on December 20,
1991 and filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth on
January 8, 1992. Effective April 15, 1993, the trust's name was
further changed to Fidelity Advisor Series IV by an Amendment to
the Declaration of Trust executed on May 3, 1993 and filed with
the Secretary of the Commonwealth on May 5, 1993. An
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated March 16, 1995
was filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth on April 12,
1995.
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 such
transferrable Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series or
classes as the Trustees shall from time to time create and establish.
The number of Shares is unlimited and each Share shall be 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
Shareholders or any Series or class of Shareholders of the Trust,
to create and establish (and to change in any manner) Shares or
any Series or classes thereof with such preferences, voting powers,
rights and privileges as the Trustees may from time to time
determine, to divide or combine the Shares or any Series or classes
thereof 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 or classes 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 the 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, and amended on February
22, 1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the issue and sale,
from time to time, of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest of the trust in accordance with the terms included in the
current Registration Statement 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 40,229,632 shares of the trust (the "Shares") sold in
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended November
30, 1996.
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 Statement of
Additional Information under the heading "Shareholder and
Trustee Liability." In rendering this opinion, I rely on the
representation by the trust that it or its agent received
consideration for the Shares in accordance with the 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
