PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The past few months have been an unsettling time for bond investors. The
bond market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term
interest rates in February through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields
to rise and bond prices to fall. While nobody knows whether rates will
continue to go up, this may be a good time to review the effect rising
rates have on your bond fund investment, and consider how well your current
bond fund holdings match your original investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect of rising rates is in the market value of their investment,
which has eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important 
to remember, however, that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until
you choose to sell your shares. That's why your investing time horizon is
key. 
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best. If you have a longer-term
goal - say a child's college education that's 10 years away - you may be
willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and valleys in exchange for the
higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
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 a fund's 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. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the period shown,
the total returns and yield dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since
the fund started on September 19, 1985. You can compare the fund's returns
to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad
measure of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund stacked up
against its peers, you can look at the average intermediate municipal bond
fund, which reflects the performance of 87 similar funds tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index helps show how your fund 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
Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt - Institutional Class on September 30,
1985, shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1994,
the value of your investment with dividends reinvested would have grown to
$186,877 - a 86.88% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index did over the same
period. With dividends reinvested, the same $100,000 would have grown to
$225,782 - a 125.78% increase.
 
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is 
no guarantee of how it will do 
tomorrow. Bond prices, for 
example, 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.

On September 10, 1992, the fund began offering Class A shares. All
performance information for Class A prior to September 10, 1992 does not
reflect Class A's 12b-1 fee and revised transfer agent fee arrangements,
which if included, would lower Class A's performance.
For the period ending May 31, 1994, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term
Tax-Exempt - Class A (Class A) shares' cumulative total returns were

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.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.93 over
the past month, $10.27 over the past six months and $10.38 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all 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 at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 31% federal tax bracket. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses during the period shown, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would
have been 4.72% and 6.84%, respectively. Class A shares' 30-day yield
annualized yield was 4.40% and the 30-day annualized tax-equivalent yield
was 6.38%. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the
period shown, Class A shares' yield and tax-equivalent yield would have
been 4.24% and 6.14%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with John Haley, 
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund 
Q. JACK, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It was a rough period for both the municipal bond market and the fund.
For the six months ended May 31, 1994, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term
Tax-Exempt Fund - Institutional Class had a total return of -1.97%. That
lagged the average intermediate municipal fund, which returned -1.10% for
the same period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. For the 12 months
ended May 31, 1994, the fund returned 1.59%, compared to the average return
of 2.94%, again according to Lipper.
Q. WHAT CAUSED THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET TO FALL OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Interest rates, which typically move in the opposite direction of
municipal bond prices, generally rose during the past six months. By
mid-November, fears of inflation caused interest rates to rise slightly,
after having fallen during most of 1993. Until the end of January, rates
moved within a narrow range. During this period, the Federal Reserve Board
seemed content to keep the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - at 3.00%, where it had been since September
1992. On February 4, the Fed reversed that policy, raising the fed funds
rate to 3.25%. And through May, the Fed moved three more times, raising fed
funds to 4.25%. The Fed rate hikes were a preemptive strike against
inflation. The economy appeared to be heating up and the Fed seemed
determined to keep inflation in check. However, the moves still worried
bond investors, who dislike any mention of inflation because it erodes the
value of their bonds' interest income, which is paid at a fixed rate. As a
result, bond prices fell from February through early May. In recent weeks,
though, the market has started to stabilize.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG THE AVERAGE FUND?
A.  Primarily because it had a longer duration, which is a measure of the
fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. The longer the duration, the
more sensitive the fund. Going into 1994, I thought the economic growth
would be moderate and inflation would stay low, eliminating any real need
on the part of the Fed to raise rates. In addition, I believed that supply
and demand factors would work in municipal bonds' favor. The rate of
municipal bonds issued in 1994 was expected to be half of what it was in
1993, and higher federal income taxes were expected to boost demand.
However, the expected positive effects of lower supply and higher demand
were stalled when the Fed moved on February 4. In the fourth quarter of
last year, having a longer duration helped the fund's performance. But once
rates started to rise, having a longer duration contributed most to the
fund's decline. To help hedge against some of that decline, I used futures
and options. 
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES AND
OPTIONS CONTRACTS TWO OF THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS KNOWN AS DERIVATIVES,
AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, futures and options are two types of financial derivatives commonly
used and we've used both for several years. And as I mentioned earlier, we
used these contracts to help protect the fund from the market decline. As
bond prices fell, the futures and options contracts rose in value. Next to
futures and options, the most commonly used derivatives in the municipal
bond market are inverse floaters. These securities typically are created by
splitting a municipal bond into two parts: a tax-free money market
instrument yielding the prevailing short-term rate and a longer-term
security whose yield moves in the opposite direction when money market
rates change. The latter piece is called an inverse floater because its
coupon rises as short-term rates fall and vice versa. Inverse floaters,
which represented less than 3% of the fund's total assets at the end of
May, provide higher levels of tax-free income while allowing me to increase
the fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. In contrast, I used
futures recently to reduce volatility. By using derivatives, I can achieve
a higher level of tax-free income, approximately twice the yield of a
regular fixed-rate bond, and increased flexibility in managing the fund's
duration.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU ALLOCATED THE FUND IN TERMS OF SECTORS AND STATES?
A. Electric revenue bonds and general obligation bonds make up the fund's
two largest sectors. Education bonds, which are primarily student loan
bonds, are the third largest sector concentration. In a generally flat
interest rate environment, which I'm expecting for the rest of the year,
student loan bonds can provide the fund with extra income. In terms of
state concentrations, California is still at the top of the list. While
these bonds didn't do as well as other states during the market's decline,
I think it's important to have a core position in the fund to take
advantage of future improvements in the state's economic and fiscal
situation. 
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR SO?
A. I think the worst may be over for municipal bonds, although there will
probably be some short-term volatility in the market. Lower interest rates
helped stimulate economic growth in 1993. In my opinion, higher interest
rates will keep the rate of economic growth more moderate in 1994. That
should keep interest rates relatively stable over the near term. From a
supply and demand standpoint, there are some positives. The volume of
municipal bonds issued from January through the end of May is down 38% from
a year ago. In addition, there were some bonds that were called, or
redeemed early, by their issuers in January and there will be even more
bonds called this July. Eventually, lower supply and even steady demand
could help boost municipal bond prices this year.

JACK HALEY'S INVESTMENT 
PHILOSOPHY:
"The goal of the fund is to 
generate between 80% and 
90% of the yield available 
from long-term municipal 
bonds, with approximately 
60% of the volatility of a 
long-term bond fund. In 
structuring the fund, I 
evaluate a number of factors, 
including our outlook for the 
economy and interest rates. 
Next, I focus on the yield 
curve, spread relationships, 
and individual security 
selection. I start by analyzing 
the slope of the yield curve, or 
the difference between the 
income that bonds of varying 
maturities pay. If the yield 
curve is flat, there usually isn't 
much reward for buying 
longer-term bonds. On the 
other hand, if the yield curve 
is steep, longer bonds pay 
more in yield, and that yield 
differential may be worth the 
added risk. Next, I analyze 
the spread relationships - or 
the differences in yield and 
prices - among securities 
from various states, sectors 
and coupons, looking to add 
bonds that provide relative 
value. Ultimately, individual 
security selection is driven by 
Fidelity's careful research of 
each bond we own."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series VI (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 both Class A and Institutional 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.
On February 17, 1994, creation of an additional class of Retail shares
(Class B) was approved by the Board of Trustees. Offering of the new class
commences on June 30, 1994. Class B shares are subject to an annual
distribution fee of .75% of average net assets, an annual service fee of
.25% of average net assets, and a contingent deferred sales charge upon
redemption within five years of purchase which decreases from a maximum of
4% to 0%. At the end of six years, Class B shares of a fund automatically
convert to the original class of shares.
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 investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
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
net operating losses and losses deferred due to excise tax regulations. The
fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income
tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income 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.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective December
1, 1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of November 30, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $2,479,479 and decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $2,479,479.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
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 fund
identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value
at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.
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

FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS - CONTINUED
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 $35,226,153 and $12,312,546, respectively.
The gross market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$43,065,856 and $45,168,992, 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 annualized rate of .41% 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, Class A
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, Class A paid FDC $64,828 of which was
paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for
selling shares of Class A 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 $3,151 for the
period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of Class A. 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, 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
FDC received $406,353 of which $346,092 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 a sub-contract 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 Class A and
Institutional 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 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 $23,135.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' for total operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of .90% and .65% of average net assets for
Class A and Institutional Class, respectively. For the period, the
reimbursement reduced expenses by $40,311 and $11,476 for Class A and
Institutional Class, respectively.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The past few months have been an unsettling time for bond investors. The
bond market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term
interest rates in February through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields
to rise and bond prices to fall. While nobody knows whether rates will
continue to go up, this may be a good time to review the effect rising
rates have on your bond fund investment, and consider how well your current
bond fund holdings match your original investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect of rising rates is in the market value of their investment,
which has eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important 
to remember, however, that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until
you choose to sell your shares. That's why your investing time horizon is
key. 
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best. If you have a longer-term
goal - say a child's college education that's 10 years away - you may be
willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and valleys in exchange for the
higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
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 a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the period shown,
the total returns and yield dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since
the fund started on September 19, 1985. You can compare the fund's returns
to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad
measure of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund stacked up
against its peers, you can look at the average intermediate municipal bond
fund, which reflects the performance of 87 similar funds tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index helps show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The CPI
returns begin on the month end closest to the fund's start date).

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt - Class A on September 30, 1985, shortly
after the fund started and paid the maximum 4.75% sales charge. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1994, the value of your investment with dividends
reinvested would have grown to $17,722 - a 77.22% increase on your initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
would have grown to $22,578 - a 125.78% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is 
no guarantee of how it will do 
tomorrow. Bond prices, for 
example, 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.
(checkmark)
On September 10, 1992, the fund began offering Class A shares. All
performance information for Class A prior to September 10, 1992 does not
reflect Class A's 12b-1 fee and revised transfer agent fee arrangements,
which if included, would lower Class A's performance.
For the period ending May 31, 1994, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term
Tax-Exempt - Institutional Class (Institutional Class) shares' cumulative
total returns were -1.97%, 1.59%, 38.55%, and 86.17%, for six months, one
year, five years, and life of fund, respectively. Institutional Class
shares' average annual total returns were 1.59%, 6.74%, and 7.40% for one
year, five years, and life of fund,  respectively.

year period ended November 30, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990 and 1989 were 8.01%,
9.01%, 8.15%, 7.04%, and 7.50%, respectively.

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.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.93 over
the past month, $10.27 over the past six months and $10.38 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all 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 at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 31% federal  tax bracket. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
fund expenses during the period shown, the yield and tax-equivalent yield
would have been 4.24% and 6.14%, respectively. Institutional Class shares'
30-day yield annualized yield was 4.87% and the 30-day annualized
tax-equivalent yield was 7.06%. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses during the period shown, Institutional Class shares' yield and
tax-equivalent yield would have been 4.72% and 6.84%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with John Haley, 
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund 
Q. JACK, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It was a rough period for both the municipal bond market and the fund.
For the six months ended May 31, 1994, Fidelity Advisor Limited Term
Tax-Exempt Fund - Class A had a total return of -2.10%. That lagged the
average intermediate municipal fund, which returned -1.10% for the same
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. For the 12 months ended
May 31, 1994, the fund returned 1.21%, compared to the average return of
2.94%, again according to Lipper.
Q. WHAT CAUSED THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET TO FALL OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Interest rates, which typically move in the opposite direction of
municipal bond prices, generally rose during the past six months. By
mid-November, fears of inflation caused interest rates to rise slightly,
after having fallen during most of 1993. Until the end of January, rates
moved within a narrow range. During this period, the Federal Reserve Board
seemed content to keep the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - at 3.00%, where it had been since September
1992. On February 4, the Fed reversed that policy, raising the fed funds
rate to 3.25%. And through May, the Fed moved three more times, raising fed
funds to 4.25%. The Fed rate hikes were a preemptive strike against
inflation. The economy appeared to be heating up and the Fed seemed
determined to keep inflation in check. However, the moves still worried
bond investors, who dislike any mention of inflation because it erodes the
value of their bonds' interest income, which is paid at a fixed rate. As a
result, bond prices fell from February through early May. In recent weeks,
though, the market has started to stabilize.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG THE AVERAGE FUND?
A.  Primarily because it had a longer duration, which is a measure of the
fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. The longer the duration, the
more sensitive the fund. Going into 1994, I thought the economic growth
would be moderate and inflation would stay low, eliminating any real need
on the part of the Fed to raise rates. In addition, I believed that supply
and demand factors would work in municipal bonds' favor. The rate of
municipal bonds issued in 1994 was expected to be half of what it was in
1993, and higher federal income taxes were expected to boost demand.
However, the expected positive effects of lower supply and higher demand
were stalled when the Fed moved on February 4. In the fourth quarter of
last year, having a longer duration helped the fund's performance. But once
rates started to rise, having a longer duration contributed most to the
fund's decline. To help hedge against some of that decline, I used futures
and options. 
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES AND
OPTIONS CONTRACTS TWO OF THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS KNOWN AS DERIVATIVES,
AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, futures and options are two types of financial derivatives commonly
used and we've used both for several years. And as I mentioned earlier, we
used these contracts to help protect the fund from the market decline. As
bond prices fell, the futures and options contracts rose in value. Next to
futures and options, the most commonly used derivatives in the municipal
bond market are inverse floaters. These securities typically are created by
splitting a municipal bond into two parts: a tax-free money market
instrument yielding the prevailing short-term rate and a longer-term
security whose yield moves in the opposite direction when money market
rates change. The latter piece is called an inverse floater because its
coupon rises as short-term rates fall and vice versa. Inverse floaters,
which represented less than 3% of the fund's total assets at the end of
May, provide higher levels of tax-free income while allowing me to increase
the fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. In contrast, I used
futures recently to reduce volatility. By using derivatives, I can achieve
a higher level of tax-free income, approximately twice the yield of a
regular fixed-rate bond, and increased flexibility in managing the fund's
duration.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU ALLOCATED THE FUND IN TERMS OF SECTORS AND STATES?
A. Electric revenue and general obligation bonds make up the fund's two
largest sectors. Education bonds, which are primarily student loan bonds,
are the third largest sector concentration. In a generally flat interest
rate environment, which I'm expecting for the rest of the year, student
loan bonds can provide the fund with extra income. In terms of state
concentrations, California is still at the top of the list. While these
bonds didn't do as well as other states during the market's decline, I
think it's important to have a core position in the fund to take advantage
of future improvements in the state's economic and fiscal situation. 
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR SO?
A. I think the worst may be over for municipal bonds, although there will
probably be some short-term volatility in the market. Lower interest rates
helped stimulate economic growth in 1993. In my opinion, higher interest
rates will keep the rate of economic growth more moderate in 1994. That
should keep interest rates relatively stable over the near term. From a
supply and demand standpoint, there are some positives. The volume of
municipal bonds issued from January through the end of May is down 38% from
a year ago. In addition, there were some bonds that were called, or
redeemed early, by their issuers in January and there will be even more
bonds called this July. Eventually, lower supply and even steady demand
could help boost municipal bond prices this year.

JACK HALEY'S INVESTMENT 
PHILOSOPHY:
"The goal of the fund is to 
generate between 80% and 
90% of the yield available 
from long-term municipal 
bonds, with approximately 
60% of the volatility of a 
long-term bond fund. In 
structuring the fund, I 
evaluate a number of factors, 
including our outlook for the 
economy and interest rates. 
Next, I focus on the yield 
curve, spread relationships, 
and individual security 
selection. I start by analyzing 
the slope of the yield curve, or 
the difference between the 
income that bonds of varying 
maturities pay. If the yield 
curve is flat, there usually isn't 
much reward for buying 
longer-term bonds. On the 
other hand, if the yield curve 
is steep, longer bonds pay 
more in yield, and that yield 
differential may be worth the 
added risk. Next, I analyze the 
spread relationships - or the 
differences in yield and prices 
- - among securities from 
various states, sectors and 
coupons, looking to add bonds 
that provide relative value. 
Ultimately, individual security 
selection is driven by Fidelity's 
careful research of each bond 
we own."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series VI (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 both Class A and Institutional 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.
On February 17, 1994, creation of an additional class of Retail shares
(Class B) was approved by the Board of Trustees. Offering of the new class
commences on June 30, 1994. Class B shares are subject to an annual
distribution fee of .75% of average net assets, an annual service fee of
.25% of average net assets, and a contingent deferred sales charge upon
redemption within five years of purchase which decreases from a maximum of
4% to 0%. At the end of six years, Class B shares of a fund automatically
convert to the original class of shares.
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 investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
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
net operating losses and losses deferred due to excise tax regulations. The
fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income
tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income 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.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective December
1, 1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of November 30, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $2,479,479 and decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $2,479,479.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
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 fund
identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value
at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.
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 $35,226,153 and $12,312,546, respectively.
The gross market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$43,065,856 and $45,168,992, 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 annualized rate of .41% 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, Class A
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, Class A paid FDC $64,828 of which was
paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for
selling shares of Class A 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 $3,151 for the
period.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of Class A. 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, 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
FDC received $406,353 of which $346,092 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 a sub-contract 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 Class A and
Institutional 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 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 $23,135.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' for total operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of .90% and .65% of average net assets for
Class A and Institutional Class, respectively. For the period, the
reimbursement reduced expenses by $40,311 and $11,476 for Class A and
Institutional Class, respectively.
