$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class B on October 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1998,
the value of the investment would have been $18,113 - an 81.13%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance
of the investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 would have grown to $21,913 - a 119.13% increase.
The following replaces similar information found in "Performance: The
Bottom Line" on page 14.
TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS
YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998
Dividend returns 3.58%
Capital returns 2.09%
Total returns 5.67%
DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price
of $10.80 over the past one month, $10.68 over the past six months and
$10.66 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over
these three periods.
The following information replaces the first question and answer found
in "Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview" on page 19.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the 12-month period ended October 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of 6.46%, 6.50%,
5.67% and 5.65%, respectively. To get a sense of how the fund did
relative to its competitors, the intermediate municipal debt funds
average returned 6.53% for the same 12-month period, according to
Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-17
Year Municipal Bond Index - which tracks the types of securities in
which the fund invests - returned 7.46% for the same 12-month period.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
What a difference one month can make. The stock and bond markets did
an about-face in October, as renewed optimism in many emerging markets
and more encouraging corporate earnings forecasts in the U.S. replaced
the concerns that had shaped the financial markets in recent months.
Equity markets worldwide bounced back strongly, while the major U.S.
bond indexes were off slightly as the flight to safety eased.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while 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. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS A
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 $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Class A shares
took place on September 3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee
that is reflected in returns after September 3, 1996. Returns between
September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first offered) and
September 3, 1996 are those of Class T shares and reflect Class T
shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those
of Institutional Class, the original class of the fund, which does not
bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected,
returns prior to September 10, 1992 would have been lower. If Fidelity
had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and
dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had 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 A's returns to those of the Lehman
Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance
benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities between
one and 17 years. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the intermediate municipal
debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds
with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
The past one year average represents a peer group of 146 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class A on October 31, 1988, and the current 3.75% sales charge was
paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have grown to $18,027 - an 80.27% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance of the
investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $21,913 - a 119.13% increase.

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.

TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital
returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the
class. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the class to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class'
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price
of $10.81 over the past one month, $10.69 over the past six months and
$10.66 over the past one year, you can compare the class' 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 offering share price used in the calculation of the yield
includes the effect of Class A's current 3.75% sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FIDELITY ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS T
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 $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Class T shares
took place on September 10, 1992. Class T shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1
fee that is reflected in returns after September 10, 1992. Returns
prior to that date are those of Institutional Class, the original
class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class T
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to September 10, 1992
would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class
expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class T on October 31, 1988, and the current 2.75% sales charge was
paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1998, the value of the
investment would have grown to $18,183 - an 81.83% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance of the
investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $21,913 - a 119.13% increase.

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.
TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS

Total returns 6.50% 7.37% 4.40% 11.68% -4.42%
TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital
returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the
class. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the class to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class'
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.
DIVIDENDS AND YIELD

Annualized dividend rate 4.01% 4.16% 4.15%
30-day annualized yield 3.30% - -
30-day annualized 5.16% - -
tax-equivalent yield
DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price
of $10.81 over the past one month, $10.69 over the past six months and
$10.66 over the past one year, you can compare the class' 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 offering share price used in the calculation of the yield
includes the effect of Class T's current 2.75% sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have
been 3.25% and 5.08%, respectively.
FIDELITY ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS B
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 $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance.
The initial offering of Class B shares took place on June 30, 1994.
Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996)
that is reflected in returns after June 30, 1994. Returns between
September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first offered) and
June 30, 1994 are those of Class T shares and reflect Class T shares'
0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those of
Institutional Class, the original class of the fund, which does not
bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected,
returns prior to June 30, 1994 would have been lower. Class B shares'
contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past
five years and past 10 years total return figures are 3%, 0% and 0%,
respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses,
the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, past one year, five years or
10 years. For example, if you had 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 B's returns to those of the Lehman
Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance
benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities between
one and 17 years. To measure how Class B's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the intermediate municipal
debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds
with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
The past one year average represents a peer group of 146 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

class. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the class to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class'
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effect of sales

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price
of $10.81 over the past one month, $10.68 over the past six months and
$10.66 over the past one year, you can compare the class' 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 offering share price used in the calculation of the yield
excludes the effect of Class B's contingent deferred sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FIDELITY ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS C
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 $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance.
The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997.
Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in returns
after November 3, 1997. Returns between June 30, 1994 (the date Class
B shares were first offered) and November 3, 1997 are those of Class B
shares and reflect Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to
January 1, 1996). Returns between September 10, 1992 (the date Class T
shares were first offered) and June 30, 1994 are those of Class T
shares and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to
September 10, 1992 are those of the Institutional Class, the original
class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class C
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns between November 3, 1997 and
January 1, 1996 and prior to June 30, 1994 would have been lower.
Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past
one year, past five years and past 10 years total return figures are
1%, 0% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare Class C's returns to those of the Lehman
Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance
benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities between
one and 17 years.
To measure how Class C's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the intermediate municipal debt funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past one year average
represents a peer group of 146 mutual funds. These benchmarks include

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class C on October 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1998,
the value of the investment would have been $18,110 - an 81.10%

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite heavy new supply and
slack demand for municipal bonds,
and an extreme flight to Treasuries
by investors, the municipal bond
market turned in a solid
performance for the 12 months
ended October 31, 1998. While
the glut of new issues hurt the price
of munis, their yields - which move
in the opposite direction of prices -
became attractive relative to
taxable bonds. Two interest-rate
cuts by the Federal Reserve Board
and low inflation provided
additional support. During this
period, the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index - a popular
measure of the municipal bond
market - returned 8.02%. By
comparison, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a widely
followed measure of taxable bond
performance - returned 9.34%
during the period. Throughout most
of the period, low interest rates and
a stable economy resulted in a
flood of municipalities rushing to
sell bonds this year. In fact, 1998 is
on track to top the record $293
billion muni-bond issuance during
1993. While waves of new issues
kept total return in check, volatility
in the equity markets, concerns
about the impact of overseas
markets on the U.S. economy and
the attractive level of muni-bond
yields provided support through the
end of September. Late in the
period, however, as equity markets
rallied, demand for the safety of
municipal bonds weakened, putting
further pressure on prices.

An interview with Norm Lind, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the 12-month period ended October 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of 6.46%, 6.50%,
5.77% and 5.65%, respectively. To get a sense of how the fund did
relative to its competitors, the intermediate municipal debt funds
average returned 6.53% for the same 12-month period, according to
Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-17
Year Municipal Bond Index - which tracks the types of securities in
which the fund invests - returned 7.46% for the same 12-month period.
Q. WHICH TYPES OF MUNICIPAL BONDS PERFORMED WELL OVER THE PAST YEAR?
A. Bonds rated Baa - which made up roughly 12% of the fund's
investments at the end of the period - were among the fund's best
performers during that time frame. Bond yields drifted lower
throughout most of the year, forcing investors to seek out
lower-quality, investment-grade bonds because of their yield advantage
over higher-rated bonds. That growing demand for Baa-rated bonds,
coupled with what proved to be a limited supply of them, boosted their
prices.
Q. IN LIGHT OF THAT STRONG PERFORMANCE, WHY DID YOU KEEP THE MAJORITY
OF THE FUND'S HOLDINGS IN HIGHER-RATED SECURITIES?
A. When Baa-bond prices rose, their yields - which move in the
opposite direction of their prices - fell and their yield advantage
over the top-rated Aaa bonds became quite small. In other words, the
slight amount of additional yield they offered over Aaa-rated bonds
generally wasn't enough to cover the extra risk they carried. Given
that the yield spread - the difference in yield between Aaa-rated and
Baa-rated bonds - was very small from a historical perspective, I
didn't think it had much room to tighten further, so the potential
upside for Baa-rated bonds was limited. I also became concerned that
if the spread were to increase, or widen, again in response to an
economic downturn, Baa-rated bonds would suffer price losses that
would more than overwhelm their small income advantage. To replace
some Baa-rated bonds that I sold - such as some of the fund's holdings
in bonds issued by New York state - I bought higher-rated bonds.
Q. WHICH TYPES OF BONDS WERE LAGGARDS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Bonds sensitive to being prepaid before maturity lagged the overall
municipal market. For example, housing bonds - which are pools of home
mortgages - experienced increased prepayment activity when interest
rates fell and mortgage borrowers refinanced their debt. While
prepayment is good for the borrower because it lowers their interest
costs, it can be bad for housing bond holders because it potentially
forces them to reinvest at lower prevailing interest rates.
Q. DID YOU SHIFT THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AMONG VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE
MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. Yes, I did. Economic turmoil in Asia, Russia and Latin America
increased the possibility that the U.S. economy would slow in
response. With that in mind, I felt that the risk that economically
sensitive municipal bonds would be hurt in the event of an economic
slowdown outweighed the potential for them to appreciate much more,
given that I believe we may be in the late stages of a protracted
economic upswing. So I sold some more-economically sensitive bonds,
replacing them with bonds that historically have proven more resilient
during periods of economic weakness. For example, I reduced the fund's
stake in industrial revenue bonds, which are bonds issued by a
municipality on behalf of a corporate entity. As such, the performance
of an industrial revenue bond is sensitive to the fortunes of the
corporation on whose behalf it's issued. I also sold some general
obligation bonds, which are repaid by the general revenues of an
issuer, including property, sales and income taxes. At the same time I
added more bonds issued by water, sewer and electric utilities. That's
because utilities generally are less sensitive to the economy's ups
and downs because of their essential nature.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. At the end of the period, municipal bonds were priced quite
attractively relative to their U.S. Treasury counterparts when viewed
from a historical basis. One measure of how inexpensive they were was
that their yields were roughly 95% of Treasury yields, as opposed to
their more historical yield of between 65% and 80% of Treasuries. If
the demand for municipals rises, municipal bond yields - which move in
the opposite direction of their prices - would likely move back to
their historical relationship with Treasuries and perform relatively
well as a result. Of course, the main factor that will determine
municipal bond performance is the direction of interest rates, which
could move any direction from here.

income exempt from federal
income tax by investing
normally in investment-grade
municipal securities
START DATE: September 19,
1985
SIZE: as of October 31, 1998,
more than $79 million
MANAGER: Norm Lind, since
1998; joined Fidelity in
1986
NORM LIND ON THE ROLE OF
MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE:
"The role of municipal bond
insurance has grown dramatically
during the past decade as the
number of municipal bonds with
insurance has mushroomed.
Municipal bond insurance,
underwritten by private insurers,
guarantees the timely payment of
principal and interest should the
issuer default on the underlying
debt. Insurance can be purchased
either by the issuer or an investor.
Because they generally enjoy the
highest credit rating (Aaa, AAA or
other, depending on the insurer),
insured bonds tend to be more
popular than uninsured bonds among
many types of investors.
"Insured bonds have a couple of
characteristics that investors
should understand. They tend to
offer lower yields than similarly
rated uninsured bonds because the
cost of insurance is passed on to
the investor. Second, insurance
doesn't protect a bond from
suffering price losses. Like all
bonds, insured bond prices fluctuate
in response to supply, demand,
interest-rate movements and other
factors."

Years 5.2 5.3
DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH
A FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER
FACTORS ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE.
ACCORDINGLY, A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS
EXAMPLE.

For the period ended October 31, 1998
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Interest income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata 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, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. On October 16, 1997, the Board of Trustees approved a
change in the fiscal year-end of the fund from November 30 to October
31. Accordingly, the financial statements of the fund are presented
for the eleven month period ended October 31, 1998. 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.
Securities for which 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
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."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
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 futures transactions and losses deferred due to
futures. 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 and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable 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.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of Fidelity
Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in
high-quality, short-term municipal securities of various states and
municipalities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared
daily and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions
earned by the fund are recorded as interest income in the accompanying
financial statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. 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, if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the
securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $15,869,034 and $20,934,072, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $15,909,407 and $14,563,151, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the periods ended October
31, 1998 and November 30, 1997, the management fee was equivalent to
an annualized rate of .38% and an annual rate of .39%, respectively,
of average net assets .
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
periods, this fee was based on the following annual rates of the
average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .15%
CLASS T .25%

SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within three years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 3% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VI and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series VI) at October 31, 1998, and the results of
its operations for the eleven month period then ended and the year
ended November 30, 1997, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund's management; our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at October 31, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Institutional Class on October 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by
October 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to
$18,984 - an 89.84% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
which reflects the performance of the investment-grade bond market,
did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $21,913 -
a 119.13% increase.
The following replaces similar information found in "Performance: The
Bottom Line" on page 6.

The following information replaces the first question and answer found
in "Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview" on page 7.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares had a total return of 6.73%. To get a sense
of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the intermediate
municipal debt funds average returned 6.53% for the same 12-month
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the
Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - which tracks the
types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 7.46% for the
same 12-month period.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
What a difference one month can make. The stock and bond markets did
an about-face in October, as renewed optimism in many emerging markets
and more encouraging corporate earnings forecasts in the U.S. replaced
the concerns that had shaped the financial markets in recent months.
Equity markets worldwide bounced back strongly, while the major U.S.
bond indexes were off slightly as the flight to safety eased.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while 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. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
FIDELITY ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - INSTITUTIONAL
CLASS
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 $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

INCOME - INST CL
LB 1-17 Year Municipal Bond 7.46% 34.05% n/a
Intermediate Municipal Debt 6.53% 29.68% 94.19%
Funds Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had 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 Institutional Class' returns to those
of the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return
performance benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities between one and 17 years.
To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the intermediate municipal debt funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past one
year average represents a peer group of 146 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Institutional Class on October 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by
October 31, 1998, the value of the investment would have grown to
$18,966 - an 89.66% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
which reflects the performance of the investment-grade bond market,
did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $21,913 -
a 119.13% increase.

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.

Total returns 6.63% 7.64% 4.66% 11.96% -4.17%
TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital
returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the
class. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the class to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class'
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the class are reinvested.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price
of $10.81 over the past one month, $10.69 over the past six months and
$10.66 over the past one year, you can compare the class' 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 class' tax-free yield, if you're in
the 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the
federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Despite heavy new supply and
slack demand for municipal bonds,
and an extreme flight to Treasuries
by investors, the municipal bond
market turned in a solid
performance for the 12 months
ended October 31, 1998. While
the glut of new issues hurt the price
of munis, their yields - which move
in the opposite direction of prices -
became attractive relative to
taxable bonds. Two interest-rate
cuts by the Federal Reserve Board
and low inflation provided
additional support. During this
period, the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index - a popular
measure of the municipal bond
market - returned 8.02%. By
comparison, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a widely
followed measure of taxable bond
performance - returned 9.34%
during the period. Throughout most
of the period, low interest rates and
a stable economy resulted in a
flood of municipalities rushing to
sell bonds this year. In fact, 1998 is
on track to top the record $293
billion muni-bond issuance during
1993. While waves of new issues
kept total return in check, volatility
in the equity markets, concerns
about the impact of overseas
markets on the U.S. economy and
the attractive level of muni-bond
yields provided support through the
end of September. Late in the
period, however, as equity markets
rallied, demand for the safety of
municipal bonds weakened, putting
further pressure on prices.

An interview with Norm Lind, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares had a total return of 6.63%. To get a sense
of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the intermediate
municipal debt funds average returned 6.53% for the same 12-month
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the
Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - which tracks the
types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 7.46% for the
same 12-month period.
Q. WHICH TYPES OF MUNICIPAL BONDS PERFORMED WELL OVER THE PAST YEAR?
A. Bonds rated Baa - which made up roughly 12% of the fund's
investments at the end of the period - were among the fund's best
performers during that time frame. Bond yields drifted lower
throughout most of the year, forcing investors to seek out
lower-quality, investment-grade bonds because of their yield advantage
over higher-rated bonds. That growing demand for Baa-rated bonds,
coupled with what proved to be a limited supply of them, boosted their
prices.
Q. IN LIGHT OF THAT STRONG PERFORMANCE, WHY DID YOU KEEP THE MAJORITY
OF THE FUND'S HOLDINGS IN HIGHER-RATED SECURITIES?
A. When Baa-bond prices rose, their yields - which move in the
opposite direction of their prices - fell and their yield advantage
over the top-rated Aaa bonds became quite small. In other words, the
slight amount of additional yield they offered over Aaa-rated bonds
generally wasn't enough to cover the extra risk they carried. Given
that the yield spread - the difference in yield between Aaa-rated and
Baa-rated bonds - was very small from a historical perspective, I
didn't think it had much room to tighten further, so the potential
upside for Baa-rated bonds was limited. I also became concerned that
if the spread were to increase, or widen, again in response to an
economic downturn, Baa-rated bonds would suffer price losses that
would more than overwhelm their small income advantage. To replace
some Baa-rated bonds that I sold - such as some of the fund's holdings
in bonds issued by New York state - I bought higher-rated bonds.
Q. WHICH TYPES OF BONDS WERE LAGGARDS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Bonds sensitive to being prepaid before maturity lagged the overall
municipal market. For example, housing bonds - which are pools of home
mortgages - experienced increased prepayment activity when interest
rates fell and mortgage borrowers refinanced their debt. While
prepayment is good for the borrower because it lowers their interest
costs, it can be bad for housing bond holders because it potentially
forces them to reinvest at lower prevailing interest rates.
Q. DID YOU SHIFT THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AMONG VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE
MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. Yes, I did. Economic turmoil in Asia, Russia and Latin America
increased the possibility that the U.S. economy would slow in
response. With that in mind, I felt that the risk that economically
sensitive municipal bonds would be hurt in the event of an economic
slowdown outweighed the potential for them to appreciate much more,
given that I believe we may be in the late stages of a protracted
economic upswing. So I sold some more-economically sensitive bonds,
replacing them with bonds that historically have proven more resilient
during periods of economic weakness. For example, I reduced the fund's
stake in industrial revenue bonds, which are bonds issued by a
municipality on behalf of a corporate entity. As such, the performance
of an industrial revenue bond is sensitive to the fortunes of the
corporation on whose behalf it's issued. I also sold some general
obligation bonds, which are repaid by the general revenues of an
issuer, including property, sales and income taxes. At the same time I
added more bonds issued by water, sewer and electric utilities. That's
because utilities generally are less sensitive to the economy's ups
and downs because of their essential nature.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. At the end of the period, municipal bonds were priced quite
attractively relative to their U.S. Treasury counterparts when viewed
from a historical basis. One measure of how inexpensive they were was
that their yields were roughly 95% of Treasury yields, as opposed to
their more historical yield of between 65% and 80% of Treasuries. If
the demand for municipals rises, municipal bond yields - which move in
the opposite direction of their prices - would likely move back to
their historical relationship with Treasuries and perform relatively
well as a result. Of course, the main factor that will determine
municipal bond performance is the direction of interest rates, which
could move any direction from here.

NORM LIND ON THE ROLE OF
MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE:
"The role of municipal bond
insurance has grown dramatically
during the past decade as the
number of municipal bonds with
insurance has mushroomed.
Municipal bond insurance,
underwritten by private insurers,
guarantees the timely payment of
principal and interest should the
issuer default on the underlying
debt. Insurance can be purchased
either by the issuer or an investor.
Because they generally enjoy the
highest credit rating (Aaa, AAA or
other, depending on the insurer),
insured bonds tend to be more
popular than uninsured bonds among
many types of investors.
"Insured bonds have a couple of
characteristics that investors
should understand. They tend to
offer lower yields than similarly
rated uninsured bonds because the
cost of insurance is passed on to
the investor. Second, insurance
doesn't protect a bond from
suffering price losses. Like all
bonds, insured bond prices fluctuate
in response to supply, demand,
interest-rate movements and other
factors."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1998
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Interest income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata 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, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. On October 16, 1997, the Board of Trustees approved a
change in the fiscal year-end of the fund from November 30 to October
31. Accordingly, the financial statements of the fund are presented
for the eleven month period ended October 31, 1998. 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.
Securities for which 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
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."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
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 futures transactions and losses deferred due to
futures. 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 and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable 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.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of Fidelity
Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in
high-quality, short-term municipal securities of various states and
municipalities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared
daily and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions
earned by the fund are recorded as interest income in the accompanying
financial statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. 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, if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the
securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $15,869,034 and $20,934,072, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $15,909,407 and $14,563,151, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the periods ended October
31, 1998 and November 30, 1997, the management fee was equivalent to
an annualized rate of .38% and an annual rate of .39%, respectively,
of average net assets .
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support services.
For the
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
periods, this fee was based on the following annual rates of the
average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .15%
CLASS T .25%
CLASS B .90%*
CLASS C 1.00%**
* .65% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
** .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A

For the periods, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:

Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period ended October 31, 1998, the following amounts were paid to
third parties under the Plans:

SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within three years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 3% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year. The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales
charge is based on 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the
initial date of purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed
shares, excluding any reinvested dividends and capital gains. A
portion of the sales charges paid to FDC are paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.
For the period ended October 31, 1998, sales charge amounts paid to
and retained by FDC were as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 11,024 $ 4,498

COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS, AND
OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class
shares. UMB has entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity
Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC) with
respect to all classes of the fund to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. FIIOC, an
affiliate of FMR, receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary
according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders
of the respective classes of the fund. All fees are paid to FIIOC by
UMB, which is reimbursed by each class for

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VI and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series VI) at October 31, 1998, and the results of
its operations for the eleven month period then ended and the year
ended November 30, 1997, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund's management; our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at October 31, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
