PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one
can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
EQUITY PORTFOLIO GROWTH - 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 includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells securities that
have grown in value). Initial offering of Class A shares took place on
September 10, 1992. Class A shares bear a .65% 12b-1 fee that is not
reflected in returns prior to that date. Returns prior to that date are
those of Institutional Class, the original class of the fund. Had Class A's
12b-1 fee been reflected, prior returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one, five, or ten years. For
example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare
Class A's returns to those of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how Class A's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the average
growth fund, which reflects the performance of 569 growth funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six
months. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Advisor Equity
Portfolio Growth - Class A on May 31, 1985, and paid the maximum 4.75%
sales charge. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $53,846 - a 438.46% increase on your initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over the same
period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $39,051 - a 290.51% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Bob Stansky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Equity
Portfolio Growth
Q. BOB, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the six months and year ended May 31, 1995, Fidelity Advisor Equity
Portfolio Growth - Class A returned 15.81% and 15.57%, respectively. That
beats the average growth fund tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, which
had a total return of 13.79% and 13.42% for the same time periods,
respectively.
Q. WHAT SORT OF MARKET ENVIRONMENT DID YOU FIND YOURSELF INVESTING IN?
A. There's no question that the market backdrop has been very favorable for
growth stocks. The economy grew sharply during the past six months and many
companies have posted impressive sales and profits. In addition, the
weakened dollar has been a plus for some growth companies. With the dollar
down against the two biggest currencies - the Japanese yen and the German
mark - a lot of strong growth companies have been able to benefit since
many growth stocks garner a large portion of their operating profits from
overseas.
Q. THE FUND HAS INCREASED ITS WEIGHTING IN TECHNOLOGY STOCKS FROM 31.4% SIX
MONTHS AGO TO 43.6% OF THE FUND AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. WHY?
A. I think that technology has the best unit growth of any industry in the
world. In the market sector of technology, which is actually composed of
several different industries, prices often fall every year and companies
have to work fast and furiously just to make up for the current year's
price cut. My investment philosophy hasn't changed and it's very visible in
the technology industry; it's all about unit growth and product cycle. If a
company has a good product, it tends to sell lots of units.
Q. WHICH TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES DO YOU LIKE BEST?
A. Intel, the largest holding in the fund, is a world-class manufacturer of
computer chips that I feel is selling at an attractive price. Intel's chips
are fast becoming the industry standard and the company is strong on
product cycle. IBM is another company with attractive earnings growth, and
is 2.8% of the fund's investments. The company has done a great job of
cutting costs and product demand is very good. As long as IBM can grow
revenues and earnings, I think 1995 and 1996 look pretty good.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PRODUCT CYCLE?
A. A company that's doing well in its product cycle is offering the right
products at the right time - products that customers want to buy.
Q. BESIDES INCREASING THE TECHNOLOGY WEIGHTING, WHAT OTHER CHANGES HAVE YOU
MADE TO THE FUND'S HOLDINGS?
A. I've cut the fund's retail and wholesale position by more than half. The
retail environment has been very sluggish despite the favorable interest
rate environment. Apparel, in particular has been suffering for some time
with more competition coming from discount stores. There has been a lot of
discounting and a lot of inventory on hand at the retail level. In
addition, retailers who have been expanding by 20% per year in recent years
have begun to cut their expansion plans to only about 5%-10% per year.
Therefore, I'm not too keen on retailing right now. I also cut the fund's
health care position by taking some profits in stocks that had rebounded
after concerns about increased regulation subsided.
Q. THERE WEREN'T TOO MANY FOREIGN STOCKS IN THE FUND'S HOLDINGS AT THE END
OF THE PERIOD. WHY?
A. While only about 3% of the fund's investments were invested in foreign
stocks on May 31, 1995, the fund is likely to own more over time. Most
growth market sectors - such as technology, finance and health care - have
been experiencing better growth rates inside the U.S. than outside during
the past six months. Although this won't always be the case, it's the
reason for the small foreign holding at the end of the period.
Q. WHY HAVE THE FUND'S SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS INCREASED FROM ROUGHLY 7% OF
THE FUND SIX MONTHS AGO TO 12% OF THE FUND AS OF MAY 31, 1995?
A. First of all, my target is still to have cash of about 5% - 8% of the
fund. I also raised cash levels by selling some of the fund's retail and
health care positions. Since the market's been up recently, it helped
attract additional cash to the fund. Though I've deployed some of the
increased cash, I plan to invest most of the rest of it in the next couple
of months when the market is traditionally weaker and I can get better
prices.
Q. WHICH OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTING DURING THE PAST
SIX MONTHS?
A. Lowe's, the home building supply company, didn't perform as I'd hoped.
Despite lower interest rates, housing hasn't turned around like I expected
it to. In addition, bad weather during the past six months in many regions
of the country postponed a lot of building. For these reasons, Lowe's
growth results were disappointing. Another example was Motorola. The
company issued more stock in the fourth quarter of 1994, and since then its
stock price has been disappointing. Though the stock price is up a bit, the
stock's performance was well below the approximately 17% increase in the
market. However, I still think Motorola has a potential for strong product
cycle and attractive unit growth.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. If interest rates don't fluctuate too much in either direction,
companies with a strong product cycle should do well. The companies that
this fund owns tend to be leaders in their industries, producing what
consumers want, when they want it. I intend to stay focused on earnings. I
think valuations appear reasonable for 1995 and 1996 as long as the economy
moves along at a nice, steady crawl.

(checkmark)
BOB STANSKY ON INTEREST RATES:
"As long as interest rates
don't move too much in one
direction or another, they
shouldn't profoundly affect
what this fund owns.
Relatively small moves in
rates are not nearly as
important as how a company
is doing in terms of producing
products in a timely and
cost-effective manner.
"For instance, there could be
a bad interest rate
environment, but if there's a
company with a strong
product cycle, it should do
well. A lot of technology and
business equipment
companies sell products with
three-year life spans. After
the equipment is fully
depreciated, businesses are
willing to spend again for what
they need - as long as rates
are within reason."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Growth (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (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 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 its distribution plan. Investment income,
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and the common expenses
of the fund are allo- cated 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,
registration, and certain other class-specific fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or 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 maturing within sixty days of
their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates on investment in securities are included with the net realized and
unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends are declared separately for each class,
while capital gain distributions are declared at the fund level and
allocated to each class on a prorata basis based on the number of shares
held by each class on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign
currency transactions, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to
wash sales. 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 investment income and realized
gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss)and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary
book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,005,069,000 and $799,561,000, 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 .2700% to .5200% for the period from December 1, 1994 to
May 31, 1995. 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. The annual
individual fund fee rate is .33%. Effective August 1, 1994, FMR voluntarily
implemented an individual fund fee rate of .30%, as it resulted in a lower
management fee. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an
annualized rate of .62% of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted a distribution plan with respect to the
fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan"), pursuant to which the fund pays
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .65%
of the average net assets of the Class A shares. For the period, Class A
paid FDC $3,364,000, of which $2,571,000 was paid to securities dealers,
banks and other financial institutions for the distribution of Class A
shares, and providing shareholder support services.
In addition, under the Class A Plan and the Institutional Class
Distribution and Service Plan, 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 Plans also
authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's
shares or render shareholder support services. No payments were made under
the Plans during the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $4,163,000 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which
$3,524,000 was paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) is
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A shares, while Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
affiliate of FMR (collectively, with State Street, referred to as the
Transfer Agents) acts in that capacity for the fund's Institutional Class
shares. During the period December 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the
Transfer Agents receive fees based on the type, size, number of accounts,
and the number of transactions made by shareholders of the respective
classes of the fund. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees
approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which the Transfer
Agents receive account fees and asset based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective
classes of the fund. With respect to the Class A shares, State Street has
delegated certain transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder services to
FIIOC for which FIIOC receives its allocable share of all such fees. FIIOC
pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of
average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $449,000 for the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balance during the period for which
loans were outstanding amounted to $3,078,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 6.44%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$69,000 under this arrangement.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for both classes were as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one
can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
EQUITY PORTFOLIO GROWTH - 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 $100,000 investment. Total return includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Average Growth Fund 13.79% 13.42% 65.35% 235.80%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one, five,
or ten years. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare Institutional Class' returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks - a common proxy for the
U.S. stock market. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the average growth fund, which
reflects the performance of 569 growth funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. Both
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effects of sales charges.

$100,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $100,000 in Advisor Equity
Portfolio Growth - Institutional Class on May 31, 1985. As the chart shows,
by May 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $577,353
- - a 477.35% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the
same $100,000 investment would have grown to $390,506 - a 290.51% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Bob Stansky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Equity
Portfolio Growth
Q. BOB, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the six months and year ended May 31, 1995, Fidelity Advisor Equity
Portfolio Growth - Institutional Class returned 16.25% and 16.49%,
respectively. That beats the average growth fund tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, which had a total return of 13.79% and 13.42% for the
same time periods, respectively.
Q. WHAT SORT OF MARKET ENVIRONMENT DID YOU FIND YOURSELF INVESTING IN?
A. There's no question that the market backdrop has been very favorable for
growth stocks. The economy grew sharply during the past six months and many
companies have posted impressive sales and profits. In addition, the
weakened dollar has been a plus for some growth companies. With the dollar
down against the two biggest currencies - the Japanese yen and the German
mark - a lot of strong growth companies have been able to benefit since
many growth stocks garner a large portion of their operating profits from
overseas.
Q. THE FUND HAS INCREASED ITS WEIGHTING IN TECHNOLOGY STOCKS FROM 31.4% SIX
MONTHS AGO TO 43.6% OF THE FUND AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. WHY?
A. I think that technology has the best unit growth of any industry in the
world. In the market sector of technology, which is actually composed of
several different industries, prices often fall every year and companies
have to work fast and furiously just to make up for the current year's
price cut. My investment philosophy hasn't changed and it's very visible in
the technology industry; it's all about unit growth and product cycle. If a
company has a good product, it tends to sell lots of units.
Q. WHICH TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES DO YOU LIKE BEST?
A. Intel, the largest holding in the fund, is a world-class manufacturer of
computer chips that I feel is selling at an attractive price. Intel's chips
are fast becoming the industry standard and the company is strong on
product cycle. IBM is another company with attractive earnings growth, and
is 2.8% of the fund's investments. The company has done a great job of
cutting costs and product demand is very good. As long as IBM can grow
revenues and earnings, I think 1995 and 1996 look pretty good.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PRODUCT CYCLE?
A. A company that's doing well in its product cycle is offering the right
products at the right time - products that customers want to buy.
Q. BESIDES INCREASING THE TECHNOLOGY WEIGHTING, WHAT OTHER CHANGES HAVE YOU
MADE TO THE FUND'S HOLDINGS?
A. I've cut the fund's retail and wholesale position by more than half. The
retail environment has been very sluggish despite the favorable interest
rate environment. Apparel, in particular has been suffering for some time
with more competition coming from discount stores. There has been a lot of
discounting and a lot of inventory on hand at the retail level. In
addition, retailers who have been expanding by 20% per year in recent years
have begun to cut their expansion plans to only about 5%-10% per year.
Therefore, I'm not too keen on retailing right now. I also cut the fund's
health care position by taking some profits in stocks that had rebounded
after concerns about increased regulation subsided.
Q. THERE WEREN'T TOO MANY FOREIGN STOCKS IN THE FUND'S HOLDINGS AT THE END
OF THE PERIOD. WHY?
A. While only about 3% of the fund's investments were invested in foreign
stocks on May 31, 1995, the fund is likely to own more over time. Most
growth market sectors - such as technology, finance and health care - have
been experiencing better growth rates inside the U.S. than outside during
the past six months. Although this won't always be the case, it's the
reason for the small foreign holding at the end of the period.
Q. WHY HAVE THE FUND'S SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS INCREASED FROM ROUGHLY 7% OF
THE FUND SIX MONTHS AGO TO 12% OF THE FUND AS OF MAY 31, 1995?
A. First of all, my target is still to have cash of about 5% - 8% of the
fund. I also raised cash levels by selling some of the fund's retail and
health care positions. Since the market's been up recently, it helped
attract additional cash to the fund. Though I've deployed some of the
increased cash, I plan to invest most of the rest of it in the next couple
of months when the market is traditionally weaker and I can get better
prices.
Q. WHICH OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTING DURING THE PAST
SIX MONTHS?
A. Lowe's, the home building supply company, didn't perform as I'd hoped.
Despite lower interest rates, housing hasn't turned around like I expected
it to. In addition, bad weather during the past six months in many regions
of the country postponed a lot of building. For these reasons, Lowe's
growth results were disappointing. Another example was Motorola. The
company issued more stock in the fourth quarter of 1994, and since then its
stock price has been disappointing. Though the stock price is up a bit, the
stock's performance was well below the approximately 17% increase in the
market. However, I still think Motorola has a potential for strong product
cycle and attractive unit growth.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. If interest rates don't fluctuate too much in either direction,
companies with a strong product cycle should do well. The companies that
this fund owns tend to be leaders in their industries, producing what
consumers want, when they want it. I intend to stay focused on earnings. I
think valuations appear reasonable for 1995 and 1996 as long as the economy
moves along at a nice, steady crawl.

(checkmark)
BOB STANSKY ON INTEREST RATES:
"As long as interest rates
don't move too much in one
direction or another, they
shouldn't profoundly affect
what this fund owns.
Relatively small moves in
rates are not nearly as
important as how a company
is doing in terms of producing
products in a timely and
cost-effective manner.
"For instance, there could be
a bad interest rate
environment, but if there's a
company with a strong
product cycle, it should do
well. A lot of technology and
business equipment
companies sell products with
three-year life spans. After
the equipment is fully
depreciated, businesses are
willing to spend again for what
they need - as long as rates
are within reason."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio Growth (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series I (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 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 its distribution plan. Investment income,
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and the common expenses
of the fund are allo- cated 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,
registration, and certain other class-specific fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or 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 maturing within sixty days of
their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates on investment in securities are included with the net realized and
unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends are declared separately for each class,
while capital gain distributions are declared at the fund level and
allocated to each class on a prorata basis based on the number of shares
held by each class on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign
currency transactions, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to
wash sales. 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 investment income and realized
gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss)and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary
book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,005,069,000 and $799,561,000, 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 .2700% to .5200% for the period from December 1, 1994 to
May 31, 1995. 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. The annual
individual fund fee rate is .33%. Effective August 1, 1994, FMR voluntarily
implemented an individual fund fee rate of .30%, as it resulted in a lower
management fee. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an
annualized rate of .62% of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted a distribution plan with respect to the
fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan"), pursuant to which the fund pays
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .65%
of the average net assets of the Class A shares. For the period, Class A
paid FDC $3,364,000, of which $2,571,000 was paid to securities dealers,
banks and other financial institutions for the distribution of Class A
shares, and providing shareholder support services.
In addition, under the Class A Plan and the Institutional Class
Distribution and Service Plan, 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 Plans also
authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's
shares or render shareholder support services. No payments were made under
the Plans during the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $4,163,000 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which
$3,524,000 was paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) is
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A shares, while Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an

TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
affiliate of FMR (collectively, with State Street, referred to as the
Transfer Agents) acts in that capacity for the fund's Institutional Class
shares. During the period December 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, the
Transfer Agents receive fees based on the type, size, number of accounts,
and the number of transactions made by shareholders of the respective
classes of the fund. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees
approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which the Transfer
Agents receive account fees and asset based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective
classes of the fund. With respect to the Class A shares, State Street has
delegated certain transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder services to
FIIOC for which FIIOC receives its allocable share of all such fees. FIIOC
pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of
average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $449,000 for the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balance during the period for which
loans were outstanding amounted to $3,078,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 6.44%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$69,000 under this arrangement.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for both classes were as follows:
