PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 ASSET ALLOCATION 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past one year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 the performance of the Fidelity Advisor Asset Allocation
Composite Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The
composite index combines the total returns of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the Lehman
Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index, weighted according to the fund's
neutral mix . To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the flexible portfolio funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 249 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Asset Allocation Fund - Class A on
December 28, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales
charge was paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the
investment would have grown to $10,784 - a 7.84% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how both the S&P 500
Index, a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks, and
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a market value-weighted
index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including
government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities
with maturities of one year or more, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment in the S&P 500 Index would have grown to $11,800 - an
18.00% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index, it would have grown to $10,158 - a 1.58%
increase. You can also look at how the Fidelity Advisor Asset
Allocation Composite Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged
indices, did over the same period. The composite index combines the
total returns of the S&P 500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index and the Lehman Brothers 3-Month T-Bill Index according to the
fund's neutral mix.* With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $11,347 -
a 13.47% increase.

$10,941 - a 9.41% increase on the initial investment. For comparison,
look at how both the S&P 500 Index, a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks, and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index,
a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt
issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and
mortgage-backed securities with maturities of one year or more, did
over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 Index would
have grown to $11,800 - an 18.00% increase. If $10,000 was invested in
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, it would have grown to
$10,158 - a 1.58% increase. You can also look at how the Fidelity
Advisor Asset Allocation Composite Index, a hypothetical combination
of unmanaged indices, did over the same period. The composite index
combines the total returns of the S&P 500 Index, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers 3-Month T-Bill Index
according to the fund's neutral mix.* With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $11,347 - a 13.47% increase.

FIDELITY ADVISOR ASSET ALLOCATION 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). Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in
the past six months, past one year and life of fund total returns are
1%, 1% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the past one year and life of fund total returns would
have been lower.

the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 C's
returns to the performance of the Fidelity Advisor Asset Allocation
Composite Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The
composite index combines the total returns of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the Lehman
Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index, weighted according to the fund's
neutral mix . To measure how Class C's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the flexible portfolio funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 249 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
It was the best of times, it was the
worst of times. At least that's how
some investors might describe the
six-month period that ended May 31,
2000. Technology stocks led the
market's narrow advances, soaring
during the first half of the period
as bulls snapped up shares of those
companies expected to fuel the new
economy. The performance disparity
between technology and the broader
market reached an inflection point
in early March, as the tech-laden
NASDAQ set record highs and the
Standard & Poor's 500SM Index
dipped to six-month lows. The tech
bubble burst, though, as the threat
of higher interest rates, coupled
with a sudden loss of confidence in
valuation levels, sent nervous
investors fleeing for stability
elsewhere in the market. The S&P
500, a beneficiary of the mass
migration, recovered its earlier losses
and finished 2.90% higher. The
NASDAQ completed its grueling
six-month round trip up 2.05%.
Three rate hikes levied by the Federal
Reserve Board during the period in
an attempt to cool the economy
made life difficult for bonds as well.
Reflecting the struggle, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
returned 1.38%. Treasuries managed
to stave off the period's bond malaise,
rallying on the U.S. government's
decision to repurchase long-term
debt and curtail future issuance.
Conversely, the spread sectors -
namely corporate bonds, mortgage
securities and government agencies
- were plagued by deteriorating
technical factors and wider yield
spreads relative to Treasuries.

An interview with Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Asset Allocation Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DICK?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 4.78%, 4.79%, 4.52% and
4.43%, respectively. For the same period, the Fidelity Advisor Asset
Allocation Composite Index returned 2.68%, while the flexible
portfolio funds average measured by Lipper Inc. returned 4.51%. For
the 12-month period that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A, Class
T, Class B and Class C shares returned 10.33%, 10.04%, 9.57% and
9.48%, respectively. In comparison, the composite index and Lipper
average returned 8.35% and 8.43%, respectively.
Q. HOW DID YOUR ASSET ALLOCATION POSITIONING INFLUENCE PERFORMANCE
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund benefited from maintaining its emphasis on equities, which
outperformed all other asset classes during the period. The fund's
neutral allocation mix typically calls for 70% to be invested in
stocks, 25% in bonds and 5% in short-term and money market
instruments. Given the strong environment for stocks early in the
period, the fund's modest overexposure here garnered it an edge over
its composite index, while performance fell pretty much in line with
its peer group. As stock market conditions deteriorated in the spring,
I pared down the fund's equity position to as low as 67% in April from
a high of around 75% in December. This move helped shelter us a bit
during the market's strong downturn. On the bond front, the decision
to allocate much of the subportfolio to high-yield debt proved costly,
as the prices of these issues spiraled lower during the period.
However, the fund's stake in investment-grade bonds, led by the strong
performance of long-dated Treasuries, helped offset some of the
weakness in high-yield.
Q. WHAT FACTORS DROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND'S EQUITY
SUBPORTFOLIO?
A. Brad Lewis - who directed the fund's equity investments until May
1, 2000, when Tom Sprague took the reins - did a nice job identifying
the winners in the fast-moving spaces of technology and wireless
communications. Timely trading became almost as important as finding
the right names. So, as the market turned against us, Brad astutely
took profits in many of the period's leading tech performers, helping
the fund lock in returns. In May, with the market refocusing its
attention on companies with earnings, Tom continued to scale back on
tech, concentrating the position in large, high-quality stocks.
Overweighted positions in Texas Instruments, LSI Logic and Applied
Materials helped the most, followed by out-of-benchmark stakes in
PMC-Sierra, JDS Uniphase and Linear Technology. Selected brokerage
stocks, namely Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Merrill Lynch, also
performed well. Given Brad's large-cap value orientation, having
exposure to weakness outside of tech hurt, most notably in cyclical -
or economically sensitive - stocks such as Ingersoll-Rand and Dow
Chemical, as well as drug maker Bristol-Myers Squibb. The fund no
longer held a number of these positions at the close of the period.
Q. HOW DID THE BOND PORTION OF THE FUND FARE?
A. High-yield issues languished, as aggressive investors dumped these
securities for the more attractive growth found in aggressive
equities. Thanks to superior credit selection by Fred Hoff, we managed
to limit our losses amid the fall-off in the high-yield market. The
scene was markedly different in the investment-grade world, influenced
by the U.S. Treasury's announcement in January of its intent to
repurchase long-term debt and curtail future issuance. This move
sparked a tremendous rally in long-term Treasury bonds. Despite the
Federal Reserve Board's actions to raise interest rates during the
period, the strong technicals provided by the Treasury buybacks led to
a positive return for the investment-grade subportfolio headed by
Charlie Morrison.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE FUND'S SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS?
A. John Todd stayed the course, focusing mainly on repurchase
agreements as an excellent source of liquidity and a safe haven in
which to invest assets on a temporary basis. Repurchase agreements, or
repos, are short-term securities that the seller agrees to buy back at
a specified price and time. As more money comes into the fund, John
will look at other types of money market instruments with varying
maturities. Shareholders should note that John may choose to invest in
a money market mutual fund rather than invest directly in money market
securities in the future.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm cautious going forward, as the potential for further
interest-rate hikes remains a cloud over equity markets. Until this
round of tightening is over, investors could continue to migrate from
tech to other areas of the market. The fund's subportfolio managers
are poised to respond quickly if the economic adjustment can indeed
happen with a soft landing.

DICK HABERMANN ON
USING DIVERSIFICATION TO
HELP MANAGE RISK:
"This fund practices discipline
when it comes to investing. Over
the years at Fidelity, we found that
we could generate competitive
returns within a controlled risk
framework. Admittedly,
risk-control and diversification
don't usually occupy the minds of
bullish investors.
"As much as some people still don't
like to admit it, investing in equities
is risky business, as evidenced this
past spring. There's always
plenty of risk over the course of a
market cycle, and investors can
lose a lot of money in the process.
We try to manage this risk by taking
a multi-layered investment
strategy. The fund's subportfolio
managers take great care
formulating risk/return strategies
for the fund's underlying
investments, as do I by way of
selecting the fund's ongoing asset
allocation. By building a discipline at
several levels - namely security,
sector and asset class - with a
multi-manager framework, we offer
investors a different approach not
found in many funds."
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:

Conti assumed responsibility for

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Asset Allocation Fund (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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Equity securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at
the closing bid price. Foreign equity securities are valued based on
quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available
are valued by a pricing service at their market values as determined
by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales prices
if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are
normally traded. Securities (including restricted securities) for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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 funds
are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash
sales transactions. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $58,103,807 and $48,192,992, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $970,719 and
$953,345, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $2,847,136 and $1,025,232, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
institutions for the distribution of each class of shares and
providing shareholder support services. For the period, this fee was
based on the following annual rates of the average net assets of each
applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 2,734 $ 851
CLASS T 35,038 1,557
CLASS B 57,459 43,857
CLASS C 29,073 21,701
$ 124,304 $ 67,966
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS, BANKS,
AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B, Class
C and Institutional Class shares. FIIOC 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.
FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder
reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following
amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 3,142 .29*
CLASS T 15,068 .22*
CLASS B 12,853 .23*

ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of
FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the
level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
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 $1,455 for the period.
5. 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 $3,804 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian fees were
reduced by $52 under the custodian arrangement.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, FMR and its affiliates were record owners of
approximately 8% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 ASSET ALLOCATION 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past one year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 the performance of the Fidelity
Advisor Asset Allocation Composite Index, a hypothetical combination
of unmanaged indices. The composite index combines the total returns
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index and the Lehman Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index, weighted
according to the fund's neutral mix . To measure how Institutional
Class performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the flexible portfolio funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The
past six months average represents a peer group of 249 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Asset Allocation Fund - Institutional
Class on December 28, 1998, when the fund started. As the chart shows,
by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to
$11,492 - a 14.92% increase on the initial investment. For comparison,
look at how both the S&P 500 Index, a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks, and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index,
a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt
issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and
mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more, did
over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 Index would
have grown to $11,800 - an 18.00% increase. If $10,000 was invested in
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, it would have grown to
$10,158 - a 1.58% increase. You can also look at how the Fidelity
Advisor Asset Allocation Composite Index, a hypothetical combination
of unmanaged indices, did over the same period. The composite index
combines the total returns of the S&P 500 Index, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index and the Lehman Brothers 3-Month T-Bill Index
according to the fund's neutral mix.* With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $11,347 - a 13.47% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
It was the best of times, it was the
worst of times. At least that's how
some investors might describe the
six-month period that ended May 31,
2000. Technology stocks led the
market's narrow advances, soaring
during the first half of the period
as bulls snapped up shares of those
companies expected to fuel the new
economy. The performance disparity
between technology and the broader
market reached an inflection point
in early March, as the tech-laden
NASDAQ set record highs and the
Standard & Poor's 500SM Index
dipped to six-month lows. The tech
bubble burst, though, as the threat
of higher interest rates, coupled
with a sudden loss of confidence in
valuation levels, sent nervous
investors fleeing for stability
elsewhere in the market. The S&P
500, a beneficiary of the mass
migration, recovered its earlier losses
and finished 2.90% higher. The
NASDAQ completed its grueling
six-month round trip up 2.05%.
Three rate hikes levied by the Federal
Reserve Board during the period in
an attempt to cool the economy
made life difficult for bonds as well.
Reflecting the struggle, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
returned 1.38%. Treasuries managed
to stave off the period's bond malaise,
rallying on the U.S. government's
decision to repurchase long-term
debt and curtail future issuance.
Conversely, the spread sectors -
namely corporate bonds, mortgage
securities and government agencies
- were plagued by deteriorating
technical factors and wider yield
spreads relative to Treasuries.

An interview with Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Asset Allocation Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DICK?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 4.95%. For the same period, the
Fidelity Advisor Asset Allocation Composite Index returned 2.68%,
while the flexible portfolio funds average measured by Lipper Inc.
returned 4.51%. For the 12-month period that ended May 31, 2000, the
fund's Institutional Class shares returned 10.61%. In comparison, the
composite index and Lipper average returned 8.35% and 8.43%,
respectively.
Q. HOW DID YOUR ASSET ALLOCATION POSITIONING INFLUENCE PERFORMANCE
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund benefited from maintaining its emphasis on equities, which
outperformed all other asset classes during the period. The fund's
neutral allocation mix typically calls for 70% to be invested in
stocks, 25% in bonds and 5% in short-term and money market
instruments. Given the strong environment for stocks early in the
period, the fund's modest overexposure here garnered it an edge over
its composite index, while performance fell pretty much in line with
its peer group. As stock market conditions deteriorated in the spring,
I pared down the fund's equity position to as low as 67% in April from
a high of around 75% in December. This move helped shelter us a bit
during the market's strong downturn. On the bond front, the decision
to allocate much of the subportfolio to high-yield debt proved costly,
as the prices of these issues spiraled lower during the period.
However, the fund's stake in investment-grade bonds, led by the strong
performance of long-dated Treasuries, helped offset some of the
weakness in high-yield.
Q. WHAT FACTORS DROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND'S EQUITY
SUBPORTFOLIO?
A. Brad Lewis - who directed the fund's equity investments until May
1, 2000, when Tom Sprague took the reins - did a nice job identifying
the winners in the fast-moving spaces of technology and wireless
communications. Timely trading became almost as important as finding
the right names. So, as the market turned against us, Brad astutely
took profits in many of the period's leading tech performers, helping
the fund lock in returns. In May, with the market refocusing its
attention on companies with earnings, Tom continued to scale back on
tech, concentrating the position in large, high-quality stocks.
Overweighted positions in Texas Instruments, LSI Logic and Applied
Materials helped the most, followed by out-of-benchmark stakes in
PMC-Sierra, JDS Uniphase and Linear Technology. Selected brokerage
stocks, namely Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Merrill Lynch, also
performed well. Given Brad's large-cap value orientation, having
exposure to weakness outside of tech hurt, most notably in cyclical -
or economically sensitive - stocks such as Ingersoll-Rand and Dow
Chemical, as well as drug maker Bristol-Myers Squibb. The fund no
longer held a number of these positions at the close of the period.
Q. HOW DID THE BOND PORTION OF THE FUND FARE?
A. High-yield issues languished, as aggressive investors dumped these
securities for the more attractive growth found in aggressive
equities. Thanks to superior credit selection by Fred Hoff, we managed
to limit our losses amid the fall-off in the high-yield market. The
scene was markedly different in the investment-grade world, influenced
by the U.S. Treasury's announcement in January of its intent to
repurchase long-term debt and curtail future issuance. This move
sparked a tremendous rally in long-term Treasury bonds. Despite the
Federal Reserve Board's actions to raise interest rates during the
period, the strong technicals provided by the Treasury buybacks led to
a positive return for the investment-grade subportfolio headed by
Charlie Morrison.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE FUND'S SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS?
A. John Todd stayed the course, focusing mainly on repurchase
agreements as an excellent source of liquidity and a safe haven in
which to invest assets on a temporary basis. Repurchase agreements, or
repos, are short-term securities that the seller agrees to buy back at
a specified price and time. As more money comes into the fund, John
will look at other types of money market instruments with varying
maturities. Shareholders should note that John may choose to invest in
a money market mutual fund rather than invest directly in money market
securities in the future.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm cautious going forward, as the potential for further
interest-rate hikes remains a cloud over equity markets. Until this
round of tightening is over, investors could continue to migrate from
tech to other areas of the market. The fund's subportfolio managers
are poised to respond quickly if the economic adjustment can indeed
happen with a soft landing.

DICK HABERMANN ON
USING DIVERSIFICATION TO
HELP MANAGE RISK:
"This fund practices discipline
when it comes to investing. Over
the years at Fidelity, we found that
we could generate competitive
returns within a controlled risk
framework. Admittedly,
risk-control and diversification
don't usually occupy the minds of
bullish investors.
"As much as some people still don't
like to admit it, investing in equities
is risky business, as evidenced this
past spring. There's always
plenty of risk over the course of a
market cycle, and investors can
lose a lot of money in the process.
We try to manage this risk by taking
a multi-layered investment
strategy. The fund's subportfolio
managers take great care
formulating risk/return strategies
for the fund's underlying
investments, as do I by way of
selecting the fund's ongoing asset
allocation. By building a discipline at
several levels - namely security,
sector and asset class - with a
multi-manager framework, we offer
investors a different approach not
found in many funds."
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Effective June 1, 2000, Matthew
Conti assumed responsibility for
managing the fund's high-yield
bond subportfolio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Asset Allocation Fund (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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Equity securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at
the closing bid price. Foreign equity securities are valued based on
quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available
are valued by a pricing service at their market values as determined
by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales prices
if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are
normally traded. Securities (including restricted securities) for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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 funds
are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash
sales transactions. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $58,103,807 and $48,192,992, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $970,719 and
$953,345, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $2,847,136 and $1,025,232, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was
based on the following annual rates of the average net assets of each
applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 2,734 $ 851
CLASS T 35,038 1,557
CLASS B 57,459 43,857
CLASS C 29,073 21,701
$ 124,304 $ 67,966
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.

disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B, Class
C and Institutional Class shares. FIIOC 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.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 DIVIDEND GROWTH 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).

CHARGE)
S&P 500 2.90% 10.48% 18.00%
Growth Funds Average 7.32% 20.08% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how
Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the growth funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 1,387 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison
categories that group funds according to portfolio characteristics and
capitalization, as well as by capitalization only. These averages are
listed on page 5 of this report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Dividend Growth Fund - Class A on
December 28, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales
charge was paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the
investment would have grown to $10,726 - a 7.26% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$11,800 - an 18.00% increase.

PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR DIVIDEND GROWTH 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). Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in
the past six months, past one year and life of fund total return
figures are 5%, 5% and 4%, respectively.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how
Class B's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the growth funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 1,387 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison

tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a

vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Charles Mangum, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Dividend Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, CHARLES?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 5.96%, 5.88%, 5.62% and
5.62%, respectively. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 2.90%
during the same period, and the growth funds average returned 7.32%,
according to Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 2000,
the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned
5.96%, 5.68%, 5.23% and 5.22%, respectively. The S&P 500 and Lipper
peer group returned 10.48% and 20.08%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS SHAPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Going into the period, the fund's performance continued to lag its
peers as investors favored aggressive technology stocks over the
stable-growth investments that make up most of this portfolio. During
the second half of the period, however, the market dynamics shifted.
Investors grew concerned over high valuations, interest-rate hikes and
signs of a slowing economy, and this created a pricing correction
within the technology sector. In response, investors showed renewed
interest in stable-growth sectors such as health and finance, and the
fund - with more than 37% of its net assets in these two groups -
benefited. The fund's underweighting in technology stocks relative to
its peers, however, still hurt performance during the period.
Q. TECH STOCKS HAD A ROUGH RIDE, BUT YOU DID RAISE THE FUND'S EXPOSURE
TO TECHNOLOGY FROM APPROXIMATELY 16% TO 22% DURING THE PERIOD. WHERE
DID YOU FIND OPPORTUNITIES?
A. Actually, I think a lot of that bump was due to the appreciation of
some existing, well-known technology holdings such as Cisco Systems
and Intel. My philosophy in terms of technology investing hasn't
changed all that much - I still like to go after market leaders with
proven earnings growth track records. I did, however, add to names
such as Linear Technology, which makes analog semiconductors for
computers, laptops and cell phones. Linear was one of the fund's best
performers.
Q. AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, FOUR OF THE FUND'S LARGEST POSITIONS
RESIDED IN THE HEALTH SECTOR. HOW DID THIS GROUP FARE?
A. As investors came to the realization that the economy was slowing,
many wanted to own more of the stocks that are less vulnerable to a
slowdown. Health stocks such as Cardinal Health, Schering-Plough and
Eli Lilly fit the bill nicely. Cardinal Health in particular had a
fantastic period, as the company's diversity - it's a wholesale
distributor of pharmaceutical products, a manufacturer of medical
products and a provider of services to the pharmaceutical industry -
translated into strong revenue and earnings growth. Although the
concern of government intervention is still there for this group, the
change in market environment has been a huge plus.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL DURING THE PERIOD? WHICH ONES
WERE DISAPPOINTING?
A. Another stock that performed well was Cordant Technologies, which,
despite its name, is a leading player in the defense and aerospace
sector. Cordant was acquired by Alcoa during the period. In terms of
letdowns, the fund's positions in SBC Communications and AT&T
suffered, as both companies missed earnings numbers.
Q. ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT WAS MICROSOFT . . .
A. While many attribute the stock's poor performance to the federal
government's antitrust case - and it has certainly played a role - I'd
argue that there's a fundamental shift occurring in the technology
sector that has tempered Microsoft's strength in the PC business. A
few years back, for example, people were using their PCs to run
spreadsheets. Now, it's not so much what the computer can do, but how
these machines actually communicate with each other. Microsoft has
been slow to modify its business profile, but if anyone can do it -
and do it well - it's them.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. If the signs I've seen through the final three months of the period
- namely a slowing economy and renewed confidence in stable-growth
investments - have staying power, it should bode very well for the
fund. That being said, we need to remember that while this market
shift has been jarring, it's only been three months. Anything can
happen over the next few months, and a lot of attention will be paid
to retail consumer trends as well as to any further reactions from the
Federal Reserve Board. I'll be in the background, still trying to find
good companies with attractive price tags and earnings growth
capabilities.

CHARLES MANGUM COVERS
MORE GROUND:
RETAIL: "I talk to a lot of
companies in the course of
managing the fund, and many
have told me that they're seeing
slower retail sales. This makes sense,
given that higher interest rates and
fuel prices put a dent in consumers'
wallets. My strategy within the
retail group has been to
de-emphasize department-store
stocks - such as Federated - and
instead focus on what I call `category
killers,' or companies that have
dominant niches and market
share. These would include Home
Depot, Lowe's and Wal-Mart.
ENERGY: "We've seen higher gas
and oil prices because of a
restriction in supply. The fund has
positions in several exploration and
production companies, which stand
to benefit should the taps be turned
back on. One example is Conoco, a
fairly new company that was spun off
from DuPont. Conoco has an
attractive valuation, high relative
returns, a good production profile
and a solid management team.
FINANCE: "As tech stocks have
paraded, finance stocks have
faded. But as investors have
embraced stable-growth
investments, some parts of the
sector - such as regional banks
- have begun to perform well.
The fund's longstanding position
in Comerica was one example."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Dividend Growth Fund (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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 may result in distribution
reclassifications.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $338,394,139 and $432,388,023, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as
they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of
average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 50,693 $ 108
CLASS T 612,329 2,162
CLASS B 1,212,505 910,054
CLASS C 716,586 633,011
$ 2,592,113 $ 1,545,335
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
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 is paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 84,940 $ 38,788
CLASS T 285,497 68,511
CLASS B 561,156 561,156*
CLASS C 110,755 110,755*
$ 1,042,348 $ 779,210
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 53,841 .27*
CLASS T 285,411 .23*
CLASS B 295,138 .25*
CLASS C 157,667 .22*
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 20,155 .17*
$ 812,212
* ANNUALIZED
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of
FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the
level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
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 $28,487 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. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
the loan was outstanding amounted to $2,489,600. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.98%. At period end there were no bank borrowings
outstanding.
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 $120,326 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian fees were
reduced by $235 under the custodian arrangement.
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, one shareholder was record owner of
approximately 12% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
8. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Transactions for each class of shares for the periods were as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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

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).

- INST CL
S&P 500 2.90% 10.48% 18.00%
Growth Funds Average 7.32% 20.08% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. To measure how Institutional Class performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 1,387 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Dividend Growth Fund - Institutional
Class on December 28, 1998, when the fund started. As the chart shows,
by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to
$11,440 - a 14.40% increase on the initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period.
With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $11,800 - an 18.00% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Charles Mangum, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Dividend Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, CHARLES?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 6.22%. The Standard & Poor's 500
Index returned 2.90% during the same period, and the growth funds
average returned 7.32%, according to Lipper Inc. For the 12 months
that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Institutional Class shares
returned 6.32%. The S&P 500 and Lipper peer group returned 10.48% and
20.08%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS SHAPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Going into the period, the fund's performance continued to lag its
peers as investors favored aggressive technology stocks over the
stable-growth investments that make up most of this portfolio. During
the second half of the period, however, the market dynamics shifted.
Investors grew concerned over high valuations, interest-rate hikes and
signs of a slowing economy, and this created a pricing correction
within the technology sector. In response, investors showed renewed
interest in stable-growth sectors such as health and finance, and the
fund - with more than 37% of its net assets in these two groups -
benefited. The fund's underweighting in technology stocks relative to
its peers, however, still hurt performance during the period.
Q. TECH STOCKS HAD A ROUGH RIDE, BUT YOU DID RAISE THE FUND'S EXPOSURE
TO TECHNOLOGY FROM APPROXIMATELY 16% TO 22% DURING THE PERIOD. WHERE
DID YOU FIND OPPORTUNITIES?
A. Actually, I think a lot of that bump was due to the appreciation of
some existing, well-known technology holdings such as Cisco Systems
and Intel. My philosophy in terms of technology investing hasn't
changed all that much - I still like to go after market leaders with
proven earnings growth track records. I did, however, add to names
such as Linear Technology, which makes analog semiconductors for
computers, laptops and cell phones. Linear was one of the fund's best
performers.
Q. AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, FOUR OF THE FUND'S LARGEST POSITIONS
RESIDED IN THE HEALTH SECTOR. HOW DID THIS GROUP FARE?
A. As investors came to the realization that the economy was slowing,
many wanted to own more of the stocks that are less vulnerable to a
slowdown. Health stocks such as Cardinal Health, Schering-Plough and
Eli Lilly fit the bill nicely. Cardinal Health in particular had a
fantastic period, as the company's diversity - it's a wholesale
distributor of pharmaceutical products, a manufacturer of medical
products and a provider of services to the pharmaceutical industry -
translated into strong revenue and earnings growth. Although the
concern of government intervention is still there for this group, the
change in market environment has been a huge plus.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL DURING THE PERIOD? WHICH ONES
WERE DISAPPOINTING?
A. Another stock that performed well was Cordant Technologies, which,
despite its name, is a leading player in the defense and aerospace
sector. Cordant was acquired by Alcoa during the period. In terms of
letdowns, the fund's positions in SBC Communications and AT&T
suffered, as both companies missed earnings numbers.
Q. ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT WAS MICROSOFT . . .
A. While many attribute the stock's poor performance to the federal
government's antitrust case - and it has certainly played a role - I'd
argue that there's a fundamental shift occurring in the technology
sector that has tempered Microsoft's strength in the PC business. A
few years back, for example, people were using their PCs to run
spreadsheets. Now, it's not so much what the computer can do, but how
these machines actually communicate with each other. Microsoft has
been slow to modify its business profile, but if anyone can do it -
and do it well - it's them.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. If the signs I've seen through the final three months of the period
- namely a slowing economy and renewed confidence in stable-growth
investments - have staying power, it should bode very well for the
fund. That being said, we need to remember that while this market
shift has been jarring, it's only been three months. Anything can
happen over the next few months, and a lot of attention will be paid
to retail consumer trends as well as to any further reactions from the
Federal Reserve Board. I'll be in the background, still trying to find
good companies with attractive price tags and earnings growth
capabilities.

potential to increase their
current dividend or begin
paying a dividend

CHARLES MANGUM COVERS
MORE GROUND:
RETAIL: "I talk to a lot of
companies in the course of
managing the fund, and many
have told me that they're seeing
slower retail sales. This makes sense,
given that higher interest rates and
fuel prices put a dent in consumers'
wallets. My strategy within the
retail group has been to
de-emphasize department-store
stocks - such as Federated - and
instead focus on what I call `category
killers,' or companies that have
dominant niches and market
share. These would include Home
Depot, Lowe's and Wal-Mart.
ENERGY: "We've seen higher gas
and oil prices because of a
restriction in supply. The fund has
positions in several exploration and
production companies, which stand
to benefit should the taps be turned
back on. One example is Conoco, a
fairly new company that was spun off
from DuPont. Conoco has an
attractive valuation, high relative
returns, a good production profile
and a solid management team.
FINANCE: "As tech stocks have
paraded, finance stocks have
faded. But as investors have
embraced stable-growth
investments, some parts of the
sector - such as regional banks
- have begun to perform well.
The fund's longstanding position
in Comerica was one example."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Dividend Growth Fund (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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 may result in distribution
reclassifications.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $338,394,139 and $432,388,023, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as
they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of
average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 50,693 $ 108
CLASS T 612,329 2,162
CLASS B 1,212,505 910,054
CLASS C 716,586 633,011
$ 2,592,113 $ 1,545,335
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
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 is paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 84,940 $ 38,788
CLASS T 285,497 68,511
CLASS B 561,156 561,156*
CLASS C 110,755 110,755*
$ 1,042,348 $ 779,210
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 53,841 .27*
CLASS T 285,411 .23*
CLASS B 295,138 .25*
CLASS C 157,667 .22*
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 20,155 .17*
$ 812,212
* ANNUALIZED
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of
FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the
level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
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 $28,487 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. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
the loan was outstanding amounted to $2,489,600. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.98%. At period end there were no bank borrowings
outstanding.
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 $120,326 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 DYNAMIC CAPITAL APPRECIATION 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past one year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how
Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 302 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has
created new comparison categories that group funds according to
portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as by
capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Dynamic Capital Appreciation Fund - Class
A on December 28, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 5.75%
sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000 the value
of the investment would have grown to $14,920 - a 49.20% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $11,800 - an 18.00% increase.

PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Dynamic Capital Appreciation Fund - Class
B on December 28, 1998, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by
May 31, 2000, the value of the investment, including the effect of the
applicable contingent deferred sales charge, would have grown to
$15,280 - a 52.80% increase on the initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period.
With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $11,800 - an 18.00% increase.

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR DYNAMIC CAPITAL APPRECIATION 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). Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in
the past six months, past one year and life of fund total return
figures are 1%, 1% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the past one year and life of fund
total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 C's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how Class
C's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The
past six months average represents a peer group of 302 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new
comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio
characteristics and capitalization, as well as by capitalization only.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Fergus Shiel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Dynamic Capital Appreciation Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, FERGUS?
A. Quite well. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 17.78%, 17.69%,
17.45% and 17.38%, respectively. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's
500 Index returned 2.90% and the capital appreciation funds average
tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 8.57% for the same period. For the 12
months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B
and Class C shares returned 41.21%, 40.93%, 40.25% and 40.16%,
respectively, while the S&P 500 index and the Lipper peer group
returned 10.48% and 27.58%, respectively, during the same period.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM BOTH THE S&P 500 AND THE PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. Performance was enhanced by strong stock selection and an
overweighting in the technology sector, despite a technology
correction in the second half of the six-month period. Although
underweighted in the energy sector relative to the index, the fund got
a boost from specific stock positions. In this sector, I focused on
energy services stocks, such as Halliburton, which typically
experience strong earnings growth in a climate of rising oil prices.
Elsewhere, specific nondurables stocks - such as tobacco company RJ
Reynolds, which was as cheap as it had been since the mid-1980s - also
boosted returns. Finally, the fund's focus on certain biotechnology
stocks with strong earnings and solid product development - such as
Immunex and Medimmune, which was eliminated by the end of the period -
benefited the fund.
Q. THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY WEIGHTING ROSE TO 64.3% OF NET ASSETS AT THE
END OF THE PERIOD, FROM 47.7% SIX MONTHS AGO. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY
THERE?
A. I thought the technology sector afforded investors the best
opportunity for growth in the marketplace. Other than energy prices,
it was hard to find big pockets of inflation in the economy, despite
government figures that may have been interpreted otherwise.
Certainly, very few companies had the luxury of increasing their
prices. As a result, the only consistent way for companies to grow
revenues was to increase unit sales. The broadest sector of the market
experiencing high unit-sales growth was technology, hence the fund's
emphasis in that area.
Q. THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR PEAKED ON MARCH 10, THEN WENT THROUGH A
SEVERE PERIOD OF VOLATILITY AND A CORRECTION. DID THIS ENVIRONMENT
ALTER YOUR STRATEGY?
A. It was a pretty horrible 10 weeks or so, but I saw this as an
opportunity to upgrade the fund's technology positions. I bought more
of some industry leaders in the wireless and network build-out
subsectors - such as Micron Technology, which I added to the fund
earlier in the period, and Nokia. At the same time, I eliminated or
reduced some companies that had performed well, but were early in
their corporate life cycles and weren't earning significant profits -
such as Akamai Technologies and interactive TV technology provider
Liberate Technologies.
Q. WHICH STOCKS PERFORMED WELL?
A. Micron Technology, one of the fund's largest positions and its top
performer, got a boost from the market's demand for dynamic random
access memory chips, or DRAM, which are used in personal computers.
Another top contributor, Ericsson, was recognized by the market as the
leader in providing wireless infrastructure products.
Q. WHAT STOCKS DISAPPOINTED?
A. Motorola was a disappointment. It continued to produce lower
margins than its major competitors, and first-quarter business trends
were not as promising as expected in either its cellular handset or
mobile infrastructure divisions. Another detractor was Globalstar, a
company building a global satellite telephony system marketed toward
remote areas. Unfortunately, the service launch was not as smooth as
expected. I sold the fund's entire positions in both stocks by the end
of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Going forward, I would be surprised if the market focused as
powerfully on technology stocks as it did in late 1999 and early 2000.
Rather, I think there could be sharp rotational shifts between sectors
vying for market leadership over the next few months. Ultimately,
however, I think the market will return to growth. In this
environment, I will focus on the market leaders in various industries,
not the second-tier companies with slowing fundamentals. Prices of
leading companies that have good fundamentals and strong earnings
growth may still go down due to market volatility, but they'll have
the best opportunity to come back when the market rebounds.

FERGUS SHIEL ON THE
TECHNOLOGY SECTOR:
"Company-by-company
fundamental evaluations are very
important in the technology sector,
as opposed to making a conscious
decision to buy technology stocks in
general. I do not manage a fund by
considering what the technology
sector weighting should or
shouldn't be. Rather, I try to own
companies that have a significant
advantage in the marketplace in
which they compete, with strong
or accelerating unit growth, and
those that are on the front end of
defensible product cycles.
"The most important factor in
owning technology stocks is the
product cycles. All things being
equal, if another company has a
product that's marginally better
than yours, it will dramatically
outsell your company's product.
So being No. 2 in technology is just
a terrible place to be. Investors
often can get lured into buying these
second-tier technology companies
based on the decline in the stock
price, while hoping for a
turnaround. While these
turnarounds can occur from time to
time, they are very rare.
"In this sector, it is best to focus on
the market leaders. For example,
Texas Instruments has the
potential to be as integral to the
wireless communications market
as Intel was to the personal
computer, given its strategic
position supplying the wireless
industry. Leading companies with
strong fundamentals and robust
product cycles are where I will
continue to focus my energy in the
months ahead."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Dynamic Capital Appreciation Fund(the fund) (formerly
Fidelity Advisor Retirement Growth 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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 may result in distribution
reclassifications.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $671,243,267 and $381,051,122, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 15,333 $ 0
CLASS T 284,063 48
CLASS B 257,708 193,281
CLASS C 165,614 117,797
$ 722,718 $ 311,126
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging

SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
from 5% 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 is paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 223,134 $ 67,133
CLASS T 461,991 119,610
CLASS B 30,105 30,105 *
CLASS C 6,277 6,277 *
$ 721,507 $ 223,125
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 19,400 .32*
CLASS T 141,479 .25*
CLASS B 79,990 .31*
CLASS C 40,947 .25*
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 1,940 .27*
$ 283,756
* ANNUALIZED
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $19,753 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $814,500. The fund received cash collateral of
$846,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $23,277 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian fees were
reduced by $4,557 under the custodian arrangement.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Transactions for each class of shares for the periods were as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 DYNAMIC CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND - INST 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past one year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

S&P 500 2.90% 10.48% 18.00%
Capital Appreciation Funds 8.57% 27.58% n/a
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on December 28, 1998. 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 the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. To measure how Institutional Class performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 302 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that
group funds according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization,
as well as by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5
of this report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Dynamic Capital Appreciation Fund -
Institutional Class on December 28, 1998, when the fund started. As
the chart shows, by May 31, 2000 the value of the investment would
have grown to $15,890 - a 58.90% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over
the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested,
the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $11,800 - an 18.00%
increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Fergus Shiel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Dynamic Capital Appreciation Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, FERGUS?
A. Quite well. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 17.97%. In comparison, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 2.90% and the capital
appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 8.57% for
the same period. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 41.62%, while the S&P 500 Index
and the Lipper peer group returned 10.48% and 27.58%, respectively,
during the same period.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM BOTH THE S&P 500 AND THE PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. Performance was enhanced by strong stock selection and an
overweighting in the technology sector, despite a technology
correction in the second half of the six-month period. Although
underweighted in the energy sector relative to the index, the fund got
a boost from specific stock positions. In this sector, I focused on
energy services stocks, such as Halliburton, which typically
experience strong earnings growth in a climate of rising oil prices.
Elsewhere, specific nondurables stocks - such as tobacco company RJ
Reynolds, which was as cheap as it had been since the mid-1980s - also
boosted returns. Finally, the fund's focus on certain biotechnology
stocks with strong earnings and solid product development - such as
Immunex and Medimmune, which was eliminated by the end of the period -
benefited the fund.
Q. THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY WEIGHTING ROSE TO 64.3% OF NET ASSETS AT THE
END OF THE PERIOD, FROM 47.7% SIX MONTHS AGO. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY
THERE?
A. I thought the technology sector afforded investors the best
opportunity for growth in the marketplace. Other than energy prices,
it was hard to find big pockets of inflation in the economy, despite
government figures that may have been interpreted otherwise.
Certainly, very few companies had the luxury of increasing their
prices. As a result, the only consistent way for companies to grow
revenues was to increase unit sales. The broadest sector of the market
experiencing high unit-sales growth was technology, hence the fund's
emphasis in that area.
Q. THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR PEAKED ON MARCH 10, THEN WENT THROUGH A
SEVERE PERIOD OF VOLATILITY AND A CORRECTION. DID THIS ENVIRONMENT
ALTER YOUR STRATEGY?
A. It was a pretty horrible 10 weeks or so, but I saw this as an
opportunity to upgrade the fund's technology positions. I bought more
of some industry leaders in the wireless and network build-out
subsectors - such as Micron Technology, which I added to the fund
earlier in the period, and Nokia. At the same time, I eliminated or
reduced some companies that had performed well, but were early in
their corporate life cycles and weren't earning significant profits -
such as Akamai Technologies and interactive TV technology provider
Liberate Technologies.
Q. WHICH STOCKS PERFORMED WELL?
A. Micron Technology, one of the fund's largest positions and its top
performer, got a boost from the market's demand for dynamic random
access memory chips, or DRAM, which are used in personal computers.
Another top contributor, Ericsson, was recognized by the market as the
leader in providing wireless infrastructure products.
Q. WHAT STOCKS DISAPPOINTED?
A. Motorola was a disappointment. It continued to produce lower
margins than its major competitors, and first-quarter business trends
were not as promising as expected in either its cellular handset or
mobile infrastructure divisions. Another detractor was Globalstar, a
company building a global satellite telephony system marketed toward
remote areas. Unfortunately, the service launch was not as smooth as
expected. I sold the fund's entire positions in both stocks by the end
of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Going forward, I would be surprised if the market focused as
powerfully on technology stocks as it did in late 1999 and early 2000.
Rather, I think there could be sharp rotational shifts between sectors
vying for market leadership over the next few months. Ultimately,
however, I think the market will return to growth. In this
environment, I will focus on the market leaders in various industries,
not the second-tier companies with slowing fundamentals. Prices of
leading companies that have good fundamentals and strong earnings
growth may still go down due to market volatility, but they'll have
the best opportunity to come back when the market rebounds.

(checkmark)FUND FACTS
GOAL: to provide capital
appreciation
START DATE: December 28, 1998
SIZE: as of May 31, 2000,
more than $317 million
MANAGER: J. Fergus Shiel,
since inception; joined
Fidelity in 1989
FERGUS SHIEL ON THE
TECHNOLOGY SECTOR:
"Company-by-company
fundamental evaluations are very
important in the technology sector,
as opposed to making a conscious
decision to buy technology stocks in
general. I do not manage a fund by
considering what the technology
sector weighting should or
shouldn't be. Rather, I try to own
companies that have a significant
advantage in the marketplace in
which they compete, with strong
or accelerating unit growth, and
those that are on the front end of
defensible product cycles.
"The most important factor in
owning technology stocks is the
product cycles. All things being
equal, if another company has a
product that's marginally better
than yours, it will dramatically
outsell your company's product.
So being No. 2 in technology is just
a terrible place to be. Investors
often can get lured into buying these
second-tier technology companies
based on the decline in the stock
price, while hoping for a
turnaround. While these
turnarounds can occur from time to
time, they are very rare.
"In this sector, it is best to focus on
the market leaders. For example,
Texas Instruments has the
potential to be as integral to the
wireless communications market
as Intel was to the personal
computer, given its strategic
position supplying the wireless
industry. Leading companies with
strong fundamentals and robust
product cycles are where I will
continue to focus my energy in the
months ahead."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Dynamic Capital Appreciation Fund(the fund) (formerly
Fidelity Advisor Retirement Growth 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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 may result in distribution
reclassifications.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $671,243,267 and $381,051,122, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 15,333 $ 0
CLASS T 284,063 48
CLASS B 257,708 193,281
CLASS C 165,614 117,797
$ 722,718 $ 311,126
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
from 5% 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 is paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 223,134 $ 67,133
CLASS T 461,991 119,610
CLASS B 30,105 30,105 *
CLASS C 6,277 6,277 *
$ 721,507 $ 223,125
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 19,400 .32*
CLASS T 141,479 .25*
CLASS B 79,990 .31*
CLASS C 40,947 .25*
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 1,940 .27*
$ 283,756
* ANNUALIZED
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $19,753 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $814,500. The fund received cash collateral of
$846,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $23,277 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian fees were
reduced by $4,557 under the custodian arrangement.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR SMALL CAP FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class
expenses, the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

(INCL. 5.75% SALES CHARGE)
Russell 2000 5.50% 9.91% 38.08%
Small Cap Funds Average 9.64% 26.64% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on September 9, 1998. 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 the performance of the Russell 2000 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of 2,000 small company stocks. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the small cap funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 853 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has
created new comparison categories that group funds according to
portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as by
capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of
long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price

might lose money. But if you can

in stocks or 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Harry Lange, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Small Cap Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRY?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -3.79%, -3.95%, -4.16%
and -4.15%, respectively. The Russell 2000 Index returned 5.50% during
the same period, while the small cap funds average - as tracked by
Lipper Inc. - returned 9.64%. For the 12 months that ended May 31,
2000, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned
17.97%, 17.58%, 17.07% and 17.09%, respectively. The Russell 2000 and
Lipper average returned 9.91% and 26.64%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND TRAIL BOTH THE RUSSELL INDEX AND LIPPER PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund's best performers six months ago - including many of its
Internet-related holdings - turned out to be its worst performers this
period. This reversal of fortune was due both to the technology
slowdown we witnessed during the period as well as some
company-specific issues that suppressed performance. High valuations
finally caught up to the technology sector, and the end result was a
harsh climate for smaller-cap, dot-com stocks. While the fund didn't
have big positions in any one dot-com stock, several smaller positions
- including Shopnow.com and Sportsline.com - added up to hurt
performance. The fund no longer held Shopnow.com at the end of the
period. Pegasus Solutions - a company that specializes in online
travel reservations - also performed poorly, but its weak performance
was attributable more to shareholder concerns over an acquisition
rather than the dot-com tumble.
Q. WHILE TECHNOLOGY HURT THE FUND, ITS TOP-10 HOLDINGS AT THE END OF
THE PERIOD FELL INTO SEVEN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES. DID THIS
DIVERSIFICATION OFFSET THE TECH WEAKNESS?
A. I don't have tangible proof, but I think my strategy of spreading
around the fund's investments - and not having big bets in technology
- helped. What really hurt performance was the poor showing of several
individual names, including some company-specific issues that caused
slowdowns in earnings growth.
Q. YOU ADDED TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN BOTH NONDURABLE AND
BIOTECHNOLOGY STOCKS DURING THE PERIOD. WHAT WAS YOUR THINKING?
A. Nondurables were more of a defensive strategy, while biotechnology
stocks - despite falling in sync with technology - still offered good
long-term growth prospects. Signs of a slowing economy began to crop
up during the period, and nondurables - such as food- and drug-related
stocks - tend to be less sensitive to a slowdown. One solid performer
was Canandaigua Brands, a leading distributor of alcoholic beverages.
While biotechnology stocks are generally considered to be aggressive
investments, one position I added during the period - Human Genome
Sciences - has exposure to the pharmaceuticals industry, another area
considered less susceptible to economic weakness. Gene-sequencing
technology is becoming more popular in terms of discovering new drugs,
and I liked Human Genome Sciences' growth potential. That being said,
the fund's biotechnology investments detracted from performance during
the period.
Q. DID YOU FOLLOW ANY OTHER STRATEGIES DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Along the same lines of a slowing economy, I tried to add to some
of the fund's service-type names that have some exposure to
technology. For example, people are still going to make airline
reservations, so I bought shares in Travelocity.com. Another example
was executive recruiting agency Korn/Ferry, which benefited from the
general migration of the job search industry to the Web.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND? WHICH ONES WERE
DISAPPOINTING?
A. The fund's positions in oil and natural gas stocks such as BJ
Services and Rowan benefited primarily from favorable supply/demand
conditions. Disappointments included Polymer Group, which makes
consumer and industrial non-woven fabrics, Talk City - which met with
little success in trying to get its consumer research Web site off the
ground - and Tumbleweed Communications, which provides advanced e-mail
solutions for businesses. Tumbleweed's business profile remained
solid, but it got lumped in with the falling dot-com group.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, HARRY?
A. I'm visualizing a slower-growth economy, but there will still be
some exciting areas in technology worth looking at, particularly those
that have valuable niches or services. Also, with more companies
forced to cut costs, I may look for companies that could help in that
regard. Small-cap stocks typically suffer when the economy slows, so
the near-term could be pretty challenging. My goal is to anticipate
the next upswing, and to have the fund positioned well when the market
makes a move.

HARRY LANGE ON
FINDING GOOD BUYS
AMID THE VOLATILITY:
"The correction we witnessed in
technology during the period was
a long time coming. Internet stock
prices had been shooting through
the roof, despite the fact that many
companies didn't have the earnings
to justify their worth. Now, as
valuation concerns have taken hold,
it's no longer enough to have a
catchy URL, or Internet address,
and venture-capital funding may be
harder to come by.
"The flip side of the volatility we've
seen is that it puts a premium on
creative stock picking. You have to
consider all kinds of concepts and
ideas and, with the Internet group
struggling, I managed to find a
couple of technology names that
performed well.
"Power-One - the fund's largest
holding at the end of the period
and its best performer - was one
example. The company makes
power supplies for the
telecommunications and PC
industries, and the good thing about
its business is that it sells products
to a wide range of leading telecom
and PC companies, including
Lucent Technologies, Nortel and
Cisco. Thus, its performance doesn't
necessarily hinge on one particular
sector. Another example was Kemet
Corp., which makes capacitors that
store, filter and regulate electrical
energy and current flow. These
devices are found in virtually all
electronic applications and
products."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Small Cap Fund (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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 foreign currency transactions, non-taxable dividends
and losses deferred due to wash sales transactions. 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $140,000 or 0% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $708,150,000 and $225,344,000, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .45%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .73% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 125,000 $ -
CLASS T 1,622,000 1,000
CLASS B 1,444,000 1,084,000
CLASS C 1,129,000 757,000
$ 4,320,000 $ 1,842,000
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 437,000 $ 194,000
CLASS T 759,000 284,000
CLASS B 351,000 351,000 *
CLASS C 52,000 52,000 *
$ 1,599,000 $ 881,000
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing
and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For
the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 129,000 .26*
CLASS T 769,000 .24*
CLASS B 385,000 .27*
CLASS C 262,000 .23*
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 70,000 .18*
$ 1,615,000
* ANNUALIZED
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $1,000 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $20,416,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$22,005,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $55,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each
class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $3,000 under the custodian
arrangement, and each applicable class' expenses were reduced as
follows under the transfer agent arrangements:
TRANSFER AGENT CREDITS
CLASS T $ 1,000

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 SMALL CAP FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class
expenses, the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

CL
Russell 2000 5.50% 9.91% 38.08%
Small Cap Funds Average 9.64% 26.64% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on September 9, 1998. 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 the performance of the Russell 2000
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 2,000 small company
stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the small cap funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 853 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Small Cap Fund - Institutional Class on
September 9, 1998, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May
31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $19,230 - a
92.30% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the Russell 2000 Index did over the same period. With dividends and
capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would
have grown to $13,808 - a 38.08% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price
and return of a fund that invests
in stocks or 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Harry Lange, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Small Cap Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRY?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned -3.65%. The Russell 2000 Index
returned 5.50% during the same period, while the small cap funds
average - as tracked by Lipper Inc. - returned 9.64%. For the 12
months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Institutional Class shares
returned 18.23%. The Russell 2000 and Lipper average returned 9.91%
and 26.64%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND TRAIL BOTH THE RUSSELL INDEX AND LIPPER PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund's best performers six months ago - including many of its
Internet-related holdings - turned out to be its worst performers this
period. This reversal of fortune was due both to the technology
slowdown we witnessed during the period as well as some
company-specific issues that suppressed performance. High valuations
finally caught up to the technology sector, and the end result was a
harsh climate for smaller-cap, dot-com stocks. While the fund didn't
have big positions in any one dot-com stock, several smaller positions
- including Shopnow.com and Sportsline.com - added up to hurt
performance. The fund no longer held Shopnow.com at the end of the
period. Pegasus Solutions - a company that specializes in online
travel reservations - also performed poorly, but its weak performance
was attributable more to shareholder concerns over an acquisition
rather than the dot-com tumble.
Q. WHILE TECHNOLOGY HURT THE FUND, ITS TOP-10 HOLDINGS AT THE END OF
THE PERIOD FELL INTO SEVEN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES. DID THIS
DIVERSIFICATION OFFSET THE TECH WEAKNESS?
A. I don't have tangible proof, but I think my strategy of spreading
around the fund's investments - and not having big bets in technology
- helped. What really hurt performance was the poor showing of several
individual names, including some company-specific issues that caused
slowdowns in earnings growth.
Q. YOU ADDED TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN BOTH NONDURABLE AND
BIOTECHNOLOGY STOCKS DURING THE PERIOD. WHAT WAS YOUR THINKING?
A. Nondurables were more of a defensive strategy, while biotechnology
stocks - despite falling in sync with technology - still offered good
long-term growth prospects. Signs of a slowing economy began to crop
up during the period, and nondurables - such as food- and drug-related
stocks - tend to be less sensitive to a slowdown. One solid performer
was Canandaigua Brands, a leading distributor of alcoholic beverages.
While biotechnology stocks are generally considered to be aggressive
investments, one position I added during the period - Human Genome
Sciences - has exposure to the pharmaceuticals industry, another area
considered less susceptible to economic weakness. Gene-sequencing
technology is becoming more popular in terms of discovering new drugs,
and I liked Human Genome Sciences' growth potential. That being said,
the fund's biotechnology investments detracted from performance during
the period.
Q. DID YOU FOLLOW ANY OTHER STRATEGIES DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Along the same lines of a slowing economy, I tried to add to some
of the fund's service-type names that have some exposure to
technology. For example, people are still going to make airline
reservations, so I bought shares in Travelocity.com. Another example
was executive recruiting agency Korn/Ferry, which benefited from the
general migration of the job search industry to the Web.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND? WHICH ONES WERE
DISAPPOINTING?
A. The fund's positions in oil and natural gas stocks such as BJ
Services and Rowan benefited primarily from favorable supply/demand
conditions. Disappointments included Polymer Group, which makes
consumer and industrial non-woven fabrics, Talk City - which met with
little success in trying to get its consumer research Web site off the
ground - and Tumbleweed Communications, which provides advanced e-mail
solutions for businesses. Tumbleweed's business profile remained
solid, but it got lumped in with the falling dot-com group.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, HARRY?
A. I'm visualizing a slower-growth economy, but there will still be
some exciting areas in technology worth looking at, particularly those
that have valuable niches or services. Also, with more companies
forced to cut costs, I may look for companies that could help in that
regard. Small-cap stocks typically suffer when the economy slows, so
the near-term could be pretty challenging. My goal is to anticipate
the next upswing, and to have the fund positioned well when the market
makes a move.

HARRY LANGE ON
FINDING GOOD BUYS
AMID THE VOLATILITY:
"The correction we witnessed in
technology during the period was
a long time coming. Internet stock
prices had been shooting through
the roof, despite the fact that many
companies didn't have the earnings
to justify their worth. Now, as
valuation concerns have taken hold,
it's no longer enough to have a
catchy URL, or Internet address,
and venture-capital funding may be
harder to come by.
"The flip side of the volatility we've
seen is that it puts a premium on
creative stock picking. You have to
consider all kinds of concepts and
ideas and, with the Internet group
struggling, I managed to find a
couple of technology names that
performed well.
"Power-One - the fund's largest
holding at the end of the period
and its best performer - was one
example. The company makes
power supplies for the
telecommunications and PC
industries, and the good thing about
its business is that it sells products
to a wide range of leading telecom
and PC companies, including
Lucent Technologies, Nortel and
Cisco. Thus, its performance doesn't
necessarily hinge on one particular
sector. Another example was Kemet
Corp., which makes capacitors that
store, filter and regulate electrical
energy and current flow. These
devices are found in virtually all
electronic applications and
products."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Small Cap Fund (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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 foreign currency transactions, non-taxable dividends
and losses deferred due to wash sales transactions. 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of 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. 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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $140,000 or 0% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $708,150,000 and $225,344,000, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .45%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .73% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 125,000 $ -
CLASS T 1,622,000 1,000
CLASS B 1,444,000 1,084,000
CLASS C 1,129,000 757,000
$ 4,320,000 $ 1,842,000
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 437,000 $ 194,000
CLASS T 759,000 284,000
CLASS B 351,000 351,000 *
CLASS C 52,000 52,000 *
$ 1,599,000 $ 881,000
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.
FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing
and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For
the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 129,000 .26*
CLASS T 769,000 .24*
CLASS B 385,000 .27*
CLASS C 262,000 .23*
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 70,000 .18*
$ 1,615,000
* ANNUALIZED
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $1,000 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $20,416,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$22,005,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $55,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each
class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $3,000 under the custodian
arrangement, and each applicable class' expenses were reduced as
follows under the transfer agent arrangements:
TRANSFER AGENT CREDITS
CLASS T $ 1,000

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
total returns would have been lower.

Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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 Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how Class
A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The
past six months average represents a peer group of 302 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new
comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio
characteristics and capitalization, as well as by capitalization only.
These averages are listed on page 5 of this report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund - Class A on
December 31, 1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales
charge was paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the
investment would have grown to $16,048 - a 60.48% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$20,171 - a 101.71% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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

FIDELITY ADVISOR TECHNOQUANT GROWTH 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class T's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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 T's
returns to those of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how Class
T's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The
past six months average represents a peer group of 302 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new
comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio
characteristics and capitalization, as well as by capitalization only.

How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Tim Krochuk, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
TechnoQuant Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 9.57%, 9.33%, 9.14% and
9.22%, respectively. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 2.90%
and the capital appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
returned 8.57% for the same time period. For the year that ended May
31, 2000, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares
returned 25.65%, 25.28%, 24.78% and 24.88%, respectively. Over the
same 12 months, the S&P 500 returned 10.48%, while the peer group
average returned 27.58%.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM BOTH THE S&P 500 AND ITS PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 primarily because of the
portfolio's higher concentration in sectors such as technology and
Internet services that experienced strong market momentum during much
of the period. On the other hand, the fund outperformed its peer group
because a relatively smaller proportion of the portfolio's assets were
invested in the same technology and Internet sectors, which sold off
in April and May. Although my quantitative models suggested a
portfolio that was more concentrated than the broad market, they also
suggested a more diversified portfolio than the peer group, in which
many funds maintained or increased their investments in
technology/Internet and communication stocks.
Q. WHAT FACTORS DID YOUR QUANTITATIVE MODELS INCORPORATE DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. Narrow market breadth remained a critical factor. For example,
between October 1998 - when the NASDAQ index emerged from its last
price correction - and December 1999, only 65 of the index's 4,770
stocks contributed to its gain of 141%. Of that return, fully half of
it came from just five stocks. In response to weak market leadership,
I relaxed some of my models' constraints to emphasize those technical
factors that had demonstrated a good success rate in the current
environment. These included tests of market momentum, money flows,
size and industry sector. Concentrating my models' criteria set served
to reduce the risk of being underweighted in sectors and stocks
experiencing positive market action, including large technology and
Internet stocks. At the same time, my models suggested retaining a
core holding of defensive stocks, such as food and consumer product
companies that could stabilize returns during weak market periods.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS BENEFITED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The portfolio's top performers reflected my models' emphasis on
market leadership qualities. For example, Cisco, Intel, Oracle and
Texas Instruments - all well-established, large-cap technology stocks
- had attractive technical, as well as fundamental, characteristics.
Large money inflows, strong price and trading volume relationships and
positive market momentum all contributed to substantial returns for
these stocks. The fund's total return also benefited from more limited
investments in several small-cap technology stocks. For example,
Rambus, a high-speed interface technology developer, was the fund's
top performer.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. The biggest disappointment was Microsoft. Although the fund was
only market-weighted in the stock, the company's sheer size in the S&P
500 index translated into a relatively large position in the
portfolio. Despite generally positive technical factors, the stock
took an exceptionally heavy hit in response to antitrust concerns and
a late-spring sell-off of new economy stocks. The portfolio's core
holdings of defensive stocks, such as Philip Morris, Bristol-Myers
Squibb and Wal-Mart, underperformed for much of the period as
technology stocks held reign. However, they did live up to their
defensive billing as they helped cushion the portfolio's performance
during the tech sector sell-off in April and May.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. I expect market volatility to continue, which could benefit active
portfolio managers. Recent market activity, particularly in the
technology sector, is teaching investors to realize that they need to
pick the right stock - not just any stock - in an industry. The
market's focus on the Federal Reserve Board's actions lends additional
uncertainty to the environment. Six interest-rate hikes since June
1999, combined with the potential for additional increases, could
create an unfavorable climate for the large, high price-to-earnings
stocks that have been leading the market. Given these circumstances, I
expect that actively managed, well-diversified portfolios have the
potential to outperform more highly concentrated or indexed
portfolios.

TIM KROCHUK ON USING
TECHNICAL DATA TO ANALYZE
INVESTORS' DECISIONS:
"Investors face many choices in the
stock market, just as consumers face
many choices in the supermarket.
Both investors and shoppers make
purchase decisions based on
preferences for quality and cost. The
reasons underlying these choices
may be unknown, but we do know the
ultimate purchase price and volume.
Collecting such data from the
stock market is called technical
analysis, and every trade leaves
behind a trail of data. In aggregate,
this data provides a mathematical way
of analyzing the market's `mind.'
Technical data also is very useful
because - unlike fundamental data
- it is available daily.
"Over the past year, technical
analysis was very successful. I
believe investors may be relying more
heavily on technical data to support
shorter investment holding periods.
Last year, on average, the largest
NASDAQ stocks were held for less
than 30 days and Internet stocks were
held for only 15 days. The
infrequency of new fundamental
information, such as earnings,
suggests that investors placed
greater emphasis on technical
indicators, such as price and volume.
As technical analysis becomes more
widespread, it should achieve greater
prominence as a tool for
shorter-term investment decisions."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund(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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. 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. 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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 $30,545,587 and $25,869,021, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $739,862 and $720,563, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 5,939 $ -
CLASS T 47,779 2,341
CLASS B 76,974 58,801
CLASS C 10,477 5,103
$ 141,169 $ 66,245
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 33,293 $ 7,635
CLASS T 26,977 5,752
CLASS B 25,121 25,121*
CLASS C 845 845*
$ 86,236 $ 39,353
* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 7,964 .34*
CLASS T 29,974 .32*
CLASS B 23,723 .31*
CLASS C 4,160 .40*
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 719 .19*
$ 66,540
* ANNUALIZED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $2,182 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $537,868. The fund received cash collateral of
$559,858 which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, certain securities lending fees, brokerage
commissions and extraordinary expenses, if any) above the following
annual rates or range of annual rates of average net assets for each
of the following classes:
FMR EXPENSE LIMITATIONS REIMBURSEMENT
CLASS A 1.30% $ 7,080
CLASS T 1.55% 26,767
CLASS B 2.05% 21,215
CLASS C 2.05% 3,799
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 1.05% 587
$ 59,448
FMR has also 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 $1,282 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian fees were
reduced by $83 under the custodian arrangement.
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, one shareholder was record owner of
approximately 11% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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

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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
total returns would have been lower.

Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on December 31, 1996. 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 Standard & Poor's 500SM
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To
measure how Institutional Class performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 302 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.
Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
accordingly to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well
as by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund - Institutional
Class on December 31, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows,
by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to
$17,145 - a 71.45% increase on the initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period.
With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $20,171 - a 101.71% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Tim Krochuk, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
TechnoQuant Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TIM?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 9.69%, while the Standard & Poor's
500 Index returned 2.90%. The capital appreciation funds average,
tracked by Lipper Inc., returned 8.57%. For the year that ended May
31, 2000, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 26.09%, while
the S&P 500 and the peer group average returned 10.48% and 27.58%,
respectively.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM BOTH THE S&P 500 AND ITS PEER GROUP
DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. The fund outperformed the S&P 500 primarily because of the
portfolio's higher concentration in sectors such as technology and
Internet services that experienced strong market momentum during much
of the period. On the other hand, the fund outperformed its peer group
because a relatively smaller proportion of the portfolio's assets were
invested in the same technology and Internet sectors, which sold off
in April and May. Although my quantitative models suggested a
portfolio that was more concentrated than the broad market, they also
suggested a more diversified portfolio than the peer group, in which
many funds maintained or increased their investments in
technology/Internet and communication stocks.
Q. WHAT FACTORS DID YOUR QUANTITATIVE MODELS INCORPORATE DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. Narrow market breadth remained a critical factor. For example,
between October 1998 - when the NASDAQ index emerged from its last
price correction - and December 1999, only 65 of the index's 4,770
stocks contributed to its gain of 141%. Of that return, fully half of
it came from just five stocks. In response to weak market leadership,
I relaxed some of my models' constraints to emphasize those technical
factors that had demonstrated a good success rate in the current
environment. These included tests of market momentum, money flows,
size and industry sector. Concentrating my models' criteria set served
to reduce the risk of being underweighted in sectors and stocks
experiencing positive market action, including large technology and
Internet stocks. At the same time, my models suggested retaining a
core holding of defensive stocks, such as food and consumer product
companies that could stabilize returns during weak market periods.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS BENEFITED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The portfolio's top performers reflected my models' emphasis on
market leadership qualities. For example, Cisco, Intel, Oracle and
Texas Instruments - all well-established, large-cap technology stocks
- had attractive technical, as well as fundamental, characteristics.
Large money inflows, strong price and trading volume relationships and
positive market momentum all contributed to substantial returns for
these stocks. The fund's total return also benefited from more limited
investments in several small-cap technology stocks. For example,
Rambus, a high-speed interface technology developer, was the fund's
top performer.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. The biggest disappointment was Microsoft. Although the fund was
only market-weighted in the stock, the company's sheer size in the S&P
500 index translated into a relatively large position in the
portfolio. Despite generally positive technical factors, the stock
took an exceptionally heavy hit in response to antitrust concerns and
a late-spring sell-off of new economy stocks. The portfolio's core
holdings of defensive stocks, such as Philip Morris, Bristol-Myers
Squibb and Wal-Mart, underperformed for much of the period as
technology stocks held reign. However, they did live up to their
defensive billing as they helped cushion the portfolio's performance
during the tech sector sell-off in April and May.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. I expect market volatility to continue, which could benefit active
portfolio managers. Recent market activity, particularly in the
technology sector, is teaching investors to realize that they need to
pick the right stock - not just any stock - in an industry. The
market's focus on the Federal Reserve Board's actions lends additional
uncertainty to the environment. Six interest-rate hikes since June
1999, combined with the potential for additional increases, could
create an unfavorable climate for the large, high price-to-earnings
stocks that have been leading the market. Given these circumstances, I
expect that actively managed, well-diversified portfolios have the
potential to outperform more highly concentrated or indexed
portfolios.

TIM KROCHUK ON USING
TECHNICAL DATA TO ANALYZE
INVESTORS' DECISIONS:
"Investors face many choices in the
stock market, just as consumers face
many choices in the supermarket.
Both investors and shoppers make
purchase decisions based on
preferences for quality and cost. The
reasons underlying these choices
may be unknown, but we do know the
ultimate purchase price and volume.
Collecting such data from the
stock market is called technical
analysis, and every trade leaves
behind a trail of data. In aggregate,
this data provides a mathematical way
of analyzing the market's `mind.'
Technical data also is very useful
because - unlike fundamental data
- it is available daily.
"Over the past year, technical
analysis was very successful. I
believe investors may be relying more
heavily on technical data to support
shorter investment holding periods.
Last year, on average, the largest
NASDAQ stocks were held for less
than 30 days and Internet stocks were
held for only 15 days. The
infrequency of new fundamental
information, such as earnings,
suggests that investors placed
greater emphasis on technical
indicators, such as price and volume.
As technical analysis becomes more
widespread, it should achieve greater
prominence as a tool for
shorter-term investment decisions."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor TechnoQuant Growth Fund(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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards 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.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. 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. 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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 $30,545,587 and $25,869,021, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $739,862 and $720,563, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service 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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 5,939 $ -
CLASS T 47,779 2,341
CLASS B 76,974 58,801
CLASS C 10,477 5,103
$ 141,169 $ 66,245
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 33,293 $ 7,635
CLASS T 26,977 5,752

BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 7,964 .34*
CLASS T 29,974 .32*

* ANNUALIZED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $2,182 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $537,868. The fund received cash collateral of
$559,858 which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, certain securities lending fees, brokerage
commissions and extraordinary expenses, if any) above the following
annual rates or range of annual rates of average net assets for each
of the following classes:
FMR EXPENSE LIMITATIONS REIMBURSEMENT
CLASS A 1.30% $ 7,080
CLASS T 1.55% 26,767
CLASS B 2.05% 21,215
CLASS C 2.05% 3,799
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 1.05% 587
$ 59,448
FMR has also 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 $1,282 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian fees were
reduced by $83 under the custodian arrangement.
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, one shareholder was record owner of
approximately 11% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 LARGE CAP 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). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September
3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996
are those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the life of fund
total returns would have been lower.

S&P 500 2.90% 10.48% 137.74%
Growth Funds Average 7.32% 20.08% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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 the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a
market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how
Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the growth funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 1,387 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison
categories that group funds according to portfolio characteristics and
capitalization, as well as by capitalization only. These averages are
listed on page 5 of this report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund - Class A on February 20,
1996, when the fund started, and the current 5.75% sales charge was
paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment
would have grown to $22,288 - a 122.88% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500
Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$23,774 - a 137.74% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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.
* THE LIPPER LARGE-CAP CORE FUNDS AVERAGE REFLECTS THE PERFORMANCE
(EXCLUDING SALES CHARGES) OF MUTUAL FUNDS WITH SIMILAR PORTFOLIO
CHARACTERISTICS AND CAPITALIZATION. THE LARGE-CAP SUPERGROUP AVERAGE
REFLECTS THE PERFORMANCE (EXCLUDING SALES CHARGES) OF MUTUAL FUNDS
WITH SIMILAR CAPITALIZATION. AS OF MAY 31, 2000, THE SIX MONTH, AND

terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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 T's
returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how
Class T's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the growth funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 1,387 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund - Class T on February 20,
1996, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was
paid. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment
would have grown to $22,778 - a 127.78% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500
Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$23,774 - a 137.74% increase.

PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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.

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). Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in
the past six months, past one year and the life of fund total return
figures are 5%, 5% and 2%, respectively. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the life of fund total returns
would have been lower.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund - Class C on February 20,
1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the
value of the investment would have grown to $22,978 - a 129.78%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends
and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment
would have grown to $23,774 - a 137.74% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Karen Firestone, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Large Cap Stock Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, KAREN?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 2.99%, 2.94%, 2.62% and
2.68%, respectively. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
returned 2.90%, while the growth funds average tracked by Lipper Inc.
returned 7.32%. For the 12-month period that ended May 31, 2000, the
fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 16.60%,
16.39%, 15.76% and 15.77%, respectively. For the same period, the S&P
500 index and Lipper average returned 10.48% and 20.08%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED SHAPE PERFORMANCE DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. Much of the run-up in technology stocks during the first half of
the period evaporated by the end of the second half, thanks to rising
interest rates and valuation concerns. However, a number of growth
companies managed to weather the storm and post strong returns. The
fund benefited from overweighting some of the best names in the
large-cap oriented S&P 500 index - most notably Cisco and Intel. At
the same time, I took advantage of the flexibility the fund's charter
afforded me to pursue good growth stories elsewhere in smaller
companies, such as Agilent Tech-nologies - a maker of testing and
measuring equipment - and chip manufacturer Linear Technology. Our
decision to remain underexposed to interest-rate sensitive financial
stocks also helped. Since most of our peers were more heavily invested
in technology, it's no surprise that we trailed the Lipper average
during the period.
Q. DID SWELLING VALUATIONS KEEP YOU FROM OWNING ENOUGH OF THE TOP
BENCHMARK NAMES?
A. Unquestionably. During the market's upturn, I felt it imprudent to
build up our exposure stride for stride with the index to names that I
perceived to be running miles ahead of their fundamentals. In some
cases this approach backfired, leaving us on the outside looking in at
the tremendous gains enjoyed by such tech giants as Oracle and Nortel
Networks. In this environment, I felt it important to own some smaller
large-cap names, those in the $2 billion-$10 billion market-cap range.
Growth just seemed so important to investors that if they caught an
idea that had widespread appeal, the same $2 billion market cap could
soar to $10 billion seemingly overnight. It's not as likely that a
$100 billion company could grow to $500 billion in that same period of
time.
Q. WHICH STRATEGIES HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. I boosted the fund's stake in technology, focusing on
communications and those firms that provide Internet infrastructure
and data transmission capabilities, such as Metromedia Fiber and Texas
Instruments. I also raised the fund's exposure to computer hardware by
way of Dell and Sun, as I suspected these stocks would rebound after
weakness related to Y2K concerns had dissipated. The fund's emphasis
on the fastest-growing emerging markets within health care -
specifically biotechnology and genomics, and including names such as
Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Human Genome - also helped. When
biotechs as a group fell sharply during the second half of the period,
I resisted the temptation to sell for the most part, affirming my
conviction in the group's longer-term prospects.
Q. WHAT OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND? WHICH HURT?
A. Amgen rode the biotech wave, moving higher behind an impressive
drug pipeline and favorable patent rulings. Out-of-benchmark positions
in chipmaker Altera, as well as biotech firms Protein Design Labs and
Inhale Therapeutic Systems, also added meaningfully to returns.
Looking at the disappointments, Bristol-Myers Squibb plunged despite
strong earnings when regulators delayed the launch of its highly
anticipated hypertension drug, Vanlev, due to safety concerns. Tech
stocks that hurt us the most as a result of the correction included
GoTo.com, Legato and DoubleClick. The fund no longer held Legato at
the close of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I believe the market will continue to be volatile during the coming
months, with a lot of rotation among its various segments. To me, that
emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced approach in the
fund, which would allow us to be somewhat defensive and aggressive at
the same time. When one side isn't working, the other side generally
is. In the core of the portfolio, I'll have the holdings I feel
strongly about and have conviction in over the long term.
Additionally, I will continue to think seriously about where I want to
push the envelope on the growth extreme in terms of tech stocks. But
my feeling right now is that in this unforgiving market environment
that seems to be favoring the well-established, larger-cap tech
stocks, I don't want to push too hard.

KAREN FIRESTONE ON THE
CHALLENGES OF FUND
MANAGEMENT IN A
MOMENTUM-DRIVEN MARKET:
"The biggest challenge of
managing through a heavily
momentum-driven market is
resisting the urge to dive in with all
the other fish and follow the trend. I
try to be early, to not worry about
whether or not I'm selling a stock at
the top, and to pay close attention
to what valuation a company is
selling for based on the earnings
picture and the underlying
fundamentals. Admittedly, it takes
a lot of discipline and guts to sell
when everything seems to be riding
in your favor. You've got to mentally
review whether you still want to be
there when a stock is selling for 50
times revenue per share, for
example, and that's not an easy
task.
"I'll avoid a stock for which I can-
not create a model that justifies
its value. I have to be able to show
myself or have someone walk
through the story with me to prove
that it warrants consideration. The
rationale can't be based solely on
the fact that every other company
in this space sells at that level. That
makes no sense to me whatsoever.
What does make some sense is if I
can create a scenario in which a
company's revenues and profits
will grow over time so that its stock
more than justifies the price. Only
then will I be willing to buy it."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund (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, 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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and
losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $414,376,715 and $258,080,038, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service Plans with respect to each class of shares (collectively
referred to as "the Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class
pays
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER

CLASS B 720,578 540,691
CLASS C 210,445 157,007

SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $15,400 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $7,207,706. The fund received cash collateral of
$7,474,800 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $48,980 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each
class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $6,801 under the custodian
arrangement, and each applicable class' expenses were reduced as
follows under the transfer agent arrangements:
TRANSFER AGENT CREDITS
CLASS T $ 839
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, one shareholder was record owner of
approximately 16% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 LARGE CAP 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
life of fund total returns would have been lower.

CL
S&P 500 2.90% 10.48% 137.74%
Growth Funds Average 7.32% 20.08% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year or since the fund started on February 20, 1996. 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
the Institutional Class' returns to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500SM Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 1,387 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as
by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5 of this
report.*

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Large Cap Fund - Institutional Class on
February 20, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by May
31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $24,065 - a
140.65% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $23,774 - a 137.74% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.
An interview with Karen Firestone, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Large Cap Stock Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, KAREN?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 3.16%. In comparison, the Standard
& Poor's 500 Index returned 2.90%, while the growth funds average
tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 7.32%. For the 12-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned
16.97%. For the same period, the S&P 500 index and Lipper average
returned 10.48% and 20.08%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED SHAPE PERFORMANCE DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. Much of the run-up in technology stocks during the first half of
the period evaporated by the end of the second half, thanks to rising
interest rates and valuation concerns. However, a number of growth
companies managed to weather the storm and post strong returns. The
fund benefited from overweighting some of the best names in the
large-cap oriented S&P 500 index - most notably Cisco and Intel. At
the same time, I took advantage of the flexibility the fund's charter
afforded me to pursue good growth stories elsewhere in smaller
companies, such as Agilent Tech-nologies - a maker of testing and
measuring equipment - and chip manufacturer Linear Technology. Our
decision to remain underexposed to interest-rate sensitive financial
stocks also helped. Since most of our peers were more heavily invested
in technology, it's no surprise that we trailed the Lipper average
during the period.
Q. DID SWELLING VALUATIONS KEEP YOU FROM OWNING ENOUGH OF THE TOP
BENCHMARK NAMES?
A. Unquestionably. During the market's upturn, I felt it imprudent to
build up our exposure stride for stride with the index to names that I
perceived to be running miles ahead of their fundamentals. In some
cases this approach backfired, leaving us on the outside looking in at
the tremendous gains enjoyed by such tech giants as Oracle and Nortel
Networks. In this environment, I felt it important to own some smaller
large-cap names, those in the $2 billion-$10 billion market-cap range.
Growth just seemed so important to investors that if they caught an
idea that had widespread appeal, the same $2 billion market cap could
soar to $10 billion seemingly overnight. It's not as likely that a
$100 billion company could grow to $500 billion in that same period of
time.
Q. WHICH STRATEGIES HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. I boosted the fund's stake in technology, focusing on
communications and those firms that provide Internet infrastructure
and data transmission capabilities, such as Metromedia Fiber and Texas
Instruments. I also raised the fund's exposure to computer hardware by
way of Dell and Sun, as I suspected these stocks would rebound after
weakness related to Y2K concerns had dissipated. The fund's emphasis
on the fastest-growing emerging markets within health care -
specifically biotechnology and genomics, and including names such as
Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Human Genome - also helped. When
biotechs as a group fell sharply during the second half of the period,
I resisted the temptation to sell for the most part, affirming my
conviction in the group's longer-term prospects.
Q. WHAT OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND? WHICH HURT?
A. Amgen rode the biotech wave, moving higher behind an impressive
drug pipeline and favorable patent rulings. Out-of-benchmark positions
in chipmaker Altera, as well as biotech firms Protein Design Labs and
Inhale Therapeutic Systems, also added meaningfully to returns.
Looking at the disappointments, Bristol-Myers Squibb plunged despite
strong earnings when regulators delayed the launch of its highly
anticipated hypertension drug, Vanlev, due to safety concerns. Tech
stocks that hurt us the most as a result of the correction included
GoTo.com, Legato and DoubleClick. The fund no longer held Legato at
the close of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I believe the market will continue to be volatile during the coming
months, with a lot of rotation among its various segments. To me, that
emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced approach in the
fund, which would allow us to be somewhat defensive and aggressive at
the same time. When one side isn't working, the other side generally
is. In the core of the portfolio, I'll have the holdings I feel
strongly about and have conviction in over the long term.
Additionally, I will continue to think seriously about where I want to
push the envelope on the growth extreme in terms of tech stocks. But
my feeling right now is that in this unforgiving market environment
that seems to be favoring the well-established, larger-cap tech
stocks, I don't want to push too hard.

KAREN FIRESTONE ON THE
CHALLENGES OF FUND
MANAGEMENT IN A
MOMENTUM-DRIVEN MARKET:
"The biggest challenge of
managing through a heavily
momentum-driven market is
resisting the urge to dive in with all
the other fish and follow the trend. I
try to be early, to not worry about
whether or not I'm selling a stock at
the top, and to pay close attention
to what valuation a company is
selling for based on the earnings
picture and the underlying
fundamentals. Admittedly, it takes
a lot of discipline and guts to sell
when everything seems to be riding
in your favor. You've got to mentally
review whether you still want to be
there when a stock is selling for 50
times revenue per share, for
example, and that's not an easy
task.
"I'll avoid a stock for which I can-
not create a model that justifies
its value. I have to be able to show
myself or have someone walk
through the story with me to prove
that it warrants consideration. The
rationale can't be based solely on
the fact that every other company
in this space sells at that level. That
makes no sense to me whatsoever.
What does make some sense is if I
can create a scenario in which a
company's revenues and profits
will grow over time so that its stock
more than justifies the price. Only
then will I be willing to buy it."

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. Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from
the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and
losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $414,376,715 and $258,080,038, 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 .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .58% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service Plans with respect to each class of shares (collectively
referred to as "the Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class
pays
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
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 period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
CLASS C 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 32,861 $ 43
CLASS T 884,082 1,040
CLASS B 720,578 540,691
CLASS C 210,445 157,007
$ 1,847,966 $ 698,781
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six 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 5% 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 is paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund. FIIOC 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. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.,
an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and
administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is
based on the number and duration of lending transactions. 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 $15,400 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $7,207,706. The fund received cash collateral of
$7,474,800 which was invested in cash equivalents.
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 $48,980 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each
class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period,
the fund's custodian fees were reduced by $6,801 under the custodian
arrangement, and each applicable class' expenses were reduced as
follows under the transfer agent arrangements:
TRANSFER AGENT CREDITS
CLASS T $ 839
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, one shareholder was record owner of
approximately 16% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 VALUE STRATEGIES 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). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September
3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996
are those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee
(0.65% prior to January 1, 1996). If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the past five year and 10 year total returns
would have been lower. Prior to July 1, 1999, Advisor Value Strategies
operated under certain different investment policies. Accordingly, the
fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment
policies.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, 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
Russell Midcap Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
medium-capitalization value-oriented stocks of U.S. corporations. To
measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the capital appreciation funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 302 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization. These
averages are listed on page 5 of this report.*

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies Fund - Class A on May
31, 1990, and the current 5.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart
shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown
to $29,895 - a 198.95% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Russell Midcap Value Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $38,407 - a 284.07%
increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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.
* THE LIPPER SMALL-CAP CORE FUNDS AVERAGE REFLECTS THE PERFORMANCE
(EXCLUDING SALES CHARGES) OF MUTUAL FUNDS WITH SIMILAR PORTFOLIO
CHARACTERISTICS AND CAPITALIZATION. AS OF MAY 31, 2000, THE SIX MONTH,
ONE YEAR, FIVE YEARS AND 10 YEAR CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS FOR THE
SMALL-CAP CORE FUNDS AVERAGE WERE, 9.18%, 22.35%, 101.99% AND 219.34%,
RESPECTIVELY. THE ONE YEAR, FIVE YEAR AND 10 YEAR AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL
RETURNS FOR THE SMALL-CAP CORE FUNDS AVERAGE WERE, 22.35%, 14.65% AND
12.14%, RESPECTIVELY.
FIDELITY ADVISOR VALUE STRATEGIES 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). Class T shares bear a 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to January
1, 1996). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past 10 year total returns would have been lower. Prior to July 1,
1999, Advisor Value Strategies operated under certain different
investment policies. Accordingly, the fund's historical performance
may not represent its current investment policies.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class T's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, 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 T's returns to those of the
Russell Midcap Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
medium-capitalization value-oriented stocks of U.S. corporations. To
measure how Class T's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the capital appreciation funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 302 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that group funds
according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization. These
averages are listed on page 7 of this report.*

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies Fund - Class T on May
31, 1990, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. As the chart
shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown
to $30,621 - a 206.21% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Russell Midcap Value Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $38,407 - a 284.07%

PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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.

FIDELITY ADVISOR VALUE STRATEGIES 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). The initial offering of Class B shares took place on June 30,
1994. Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in
returns after June 30, 1994. Returns prior to June 30, 1994 are those
of Class T, and reflect Class T shares' 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior
to January 1, 1996). 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 six months,
past one year, past five years and past 10 years total return figures
are 5%, 5%, 2% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been
lower. Prior to July 1, 1999, Advisor Value Strategies operated under
certain different investment policies. Accordingly, the fund's
historical performance may not represent its current investment
policies.

terms over a set period - in this case, six months, 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
Russell Midcap Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
medium-capitalization value-oriented stocks of U.S. corporations. To
measure how Class B's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the capital appreciation funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 302 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Value Strategies Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRIS?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A,
Class T and Class B shares returned 2.20%, 2.16% and 1.85%,
respectively, trailing the Russell Midcap Value Index, which returned
5.92%. During the same period, the capital appreciation funds average
tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 8.57%. For the 12 months that ended
May 31, 2000, the fund's Class A, Class T and Class B shares returned
4.35%, 4.23% and 3.66%, respectively. The Russell index and Lipper
average returned -3.25% and 27.58%, respectively, during the same time
frame.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. The fund fared well during the first four months of the period,
driven by strong performance in a number of our top holdings in an
environment where investors were paying up for stocks with good growth
stories. However, many of these same stocks began to unravel in the
spring, as the market grew increasingly concerned that further
interest-rate hikes would send the economy into a recession. Investors
dumped small- to mid-cap value names, choosing instead to focus their
sights on a smaller group of larger-sized, richly valued tech stocks.
Narrowing market breadth prevented the fund from keeping pace with its
index during the period. The fund suffered from its considerable
overweighting in small-cap tech players Midway Games and Performance
Technologies. However, our limited exposure to poorly performing
financial stocks, along with some good picks in the insurance sector,
helped buoy fund returns. The fund lagged its Lipper peers, a highly
growth-oriented group that was invested primarily in technology.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE STRATEGIES YOU EMPLOYED DURING THE PERIOD?
A. I stayed on the sidelines during the run-up in technology stocks.
High valuations and deteriorating long-term fundamentals influenced my
decision not to increase the fund's tech position dramatically, a move
that prevented us from losing even more in the spring. I remained
bearish on many of the popular tech stocks, given my feeling that many
of them had unsustainable business models and were driven by hype more
than anything fundamental. The fact is, I felt that there was just too
much competition in the tech space and too little business to justify
an extended move into the sector. This strategy proved successful
toward the end of the period, as technology stocks collapsed in April,
and liquidations and bankruptcies of dot-coms began to accelerate. Our
overexposure to weak retail and cyclical - or economically sensitive -
stocks also made life difficult for the fund. These names fell sharply
out of favor as the market narrowed, despite having fairly strong
business fundamentals. The problem was compounded for the retailing
sector by declining sales traced to a colder-than-normal spring in the
U.S.
Q. CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT A FEW STOCKS THAT PERFORMED WELL?
A. Certainly. Alliance Pharmaceutical was by far the fund's top
contributor, more than quadrupling in price at its peak in March, as
the biotechnology firm successfully pushed three of its products into
the third stage of clinical trials. The company got another boost late
in the period after it signed a marketing agreement with Baxter
International for Oxygent, an innovative oxygen-carrying molecule used
as a blood substitute. Cable Design Technology, a provider of
high-speed network connectivity products, trended higher on record
sales and markedly higher earnings. Insurance stocks such as MetLife
and XL Capital got a lift from tech-weary investors in search of
strong names elsewhere with actual earnings.
Q. WHICH STOCKS HURT THE MOST?
A. Midway Games - a maker of video game software - slipped on sluggish
sales and falling prices. Shares of telecommunications equipment
provider Performance Technologies collapsed in May after warning of
lower-than-expected earnings related to shipment delays and an order
backlog. Retailing stocks Ames, Big Dog and Shopko also detracted from
returns.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm optimistic about the fund's prospect. Never in my career have I
seen a market that presents more value opportunities over such a broad
array of capitalizations than the one we're in now. But it's probably
going to be a little difficult to see sustained outperformance from
value stocks until we get into an environment where the interest-rate

HARRIS LEVITON ON
FINDING VALUE IN
TODAY'S MARKETPLACE:
"In their haste to find the next hot
tech stock, the mob of day traders
increasingly neglects things that
they don't understand or can't get
excited about, which has created a
number of great opportunities for
the fund of late. Take insurance
stocks, for example. Insurance
fundamentals were beginning to
show signs of material
improvement - based on our
analysts' work as well as the
conversations we had with
companies earlier in the year -
after literally 10 years of subpar
results. At the same time, these
stocks continued to trade at
rock-bottom valuations, having
been ignored for so long by much of
the investment community. The
story was far too compelling to
pass up, so we added names such
as MetLife, PartnerRe and ACE
Limited into the mix, which
garnered us tremendous returns
in the span of just a few months.
The fact that we were able to do so
well in such a short period of time
tells me that there are abundant
opportunities for stock picking
today. This type of environment
feeds right into our strength -
bottom-up research - and, thus,
bodes well for us going forward.
We just have to get through a
period when people stop playing
these macro trends and become a
little less enamored with tech
stocks."

For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies Fund (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, Class T, Class B, Initial Class, 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. Class B shares will
automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of
seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends,
net operating losses 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $129,534,867 and $161,146,611, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic 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 .2167% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted
average return of all classes as compared to the appropriate index
over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annualized rate of .36% of average net assets
after the performance adjustment. Effective July 1, 1999, the fund's
performance adjustment will be phased out over an 18 month period.
During the phase out period the performance adjustment can decrease,
but not increase, the management fee owed by the fund.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service Plans with respect to each class of shares, except for the
Initial Class (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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of each class of shares and providing shareholder support
services. For the period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 10,302 $ 0
CLASS T 1,006,151 5,633
CLASS B 471,079 353,487
$ 1,487,532 $ 359,120
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six years of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B, 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 is paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 50,022 $ 12,778
CLASS T 60,066 17,764
CLASS B 94,328 94,328*
$ 204,416 $ 124,870
* WHEN CLASS B SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS COMMISSIONS FROM
ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and
Institutional Class Shares. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for the Initial Class Shares.
FIIOC and FSC receive 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. FIIOC and FSC pay for
typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except
proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to
FIIOC or FSC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 14,383 .35 *
CLASS T 434,388 .22 *
CLASS B 120,873 .26 *
INITIAL CLASS 15,138 .16 *
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 5,068 .21 *
$ 589,850
* ANNUALIZED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. 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 $25,604 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $2,443,425. The fund received cash collateral of
$2,698,700 which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. 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. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
loans were outstanding amounted to $1,926,278. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.96%.
7. 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 $21,752 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the each class' transfer
agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were
used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period, Class T's
expenses were reduced by $1,070 under its transfer agent arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 VALUE STRATEGIES 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). The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place
on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible
investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3,
1995 are those of Initial Class. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been
lower. Prior to July 1, 1999, Advisor Value Strategies operated under
certain different investment policies. Accordingly, the fund's
historical performance may not represent its current investment
policies.

</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, 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 Russell Midcap Value Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of medium-capitalization value-oriented
stocks of U.S. corporations. To measure how Institutional Class'
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
capital appreciation funds average, which reflects the performance of
mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past
six months average represents a peer group of 302 mutual funds. These
benchmarks reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new
comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio
characteristics and capitalization. These averages are listed on page
5 of this report.*

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies Fund - Institutional
Class on May 31, 1990. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the value
of the investment would have grown to $33,269 - a 232.69% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell Midcap
Value Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $38,407 - a 284.07% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Value Strategies Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRIS?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's
Institutional Class shares returned 2.43%, trailing the Russell Midcap
Value Index, which returned 5.92%. During the same period, the capital
appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 8.57%. For
the 12 months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Institutional Class
shares returned 4.78%. The Russell index and Lipper average returned
-3.25% and 27.58%, respectively, during the same time frame.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. The fund fared well during the first four months of the period,
driven by strong performance in a number of our top holdings in an
environment where investors were paying up for stocks with good growth
stories. However, many of these same stocks began to unravel in the
spring, as the market grew increasingly concerned that further
interest-rate hikes would send the economy into a recession. Investors
dumped small- to mid-cap value names, choosing instead to focus their
sights on a smaller group of larger-sized, richly valued tech stocks.
Narrowing market breadth prevented the fund from keeping pace with its
index during the period. The fund suffered from its considerable
overweighting in small-cap tech players Midway Games and Performance
Technologies. However, our limited exposure to poorly performing
financial stocks, along with some good picks in the insurance sector,
helped buoy fund returns. The fund lagged its Lipper peers, a highly
growth-oriented group that was invested primarily in technology.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE STRATEGIES YOU EMPLOYED DURING THE PERIOD?
A. I stayed on the sidelines during the run-up in technology stocks.
High valuations and deteriorating long-term fundamentals influenced my
decision not to increase the fund's tech position dramatically, a move
that prevented us from losing even more in the spring. I remained
bearish on many of the popular tech stocks, given my feeling that many
of them had unsustainable business models and were driven by hype more
than anything fundamental. The fact is, I felt that there was just too
much competition in the tech space and too little business to justify
an extended move into the sector. This strategy proved successful
toward the end of the period, as technology stocks collapsed in April,
and liquidations and bankruptcies of dot-coms began to accelerate. Our
overexposure to weak retail and cyclical - or economically sensitive -
stocks also made life difficult for the fund. These names fell sharply
out of favor as the market narrowed, despite having fairly strong
business fundamentals. The problem was compounded for the retailing
sector by declining sales traced to a colder-than-normal spring in the
U.S.
Q. CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT A FEW STOCKS THAT PERFORMED WELL?
A. Certainly. Alliance Pharmaceutical was by far the fund's top
contributor, more than quadrupling in price at its peak in March, as
the biotechnology firm successfully pushed three of its products into
the third stage of clinical trials. The company got another boost late
in the period after it signed a marketing agreement with Baxter
International for Oxygent, an innovative oxygen-carrying molecule used
as a blood substitute. Cable Design Technology, a provider of
high-speed network connectivity products, trended higher on record
sales and markedly higher earnings. Insurance stocks such as MetLife
and XL Capital got a lift from tech-weary investors in search of
strong names elsewhere with actual earnings.
Q. WHICH STOCKS HURT THE MOST?
A. Midway Games - a maker of video game software - slipped on sluggish
sales and falling prices. Shares of telecommunications equipment
provider Performance Technologies collapsed in May after warning of
lower-than-expected earnings related to shipment delays and an order
backlog. Retailing stocks Ames, Big Dog and Shopko also detracted from
returns.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm optimistic about the fund's prospect. Never in my career have I
seen a market that presents more value opportunities over such a broad
array of capitalizations than the one we're in now. But it's probably
going to be a little difficult to see sustained outperformance from
value stocks until we get into an environment where the interest-rate
outlook is more favorable. Many of the companies in which the fund
invests have been delivering good results for some time now and should
be poised to benefit if the market were to broaden.

HARRIS LEVITON ON
FINDING VALUE IN
TODAY'S MARKETPLACE:
"In their haste to find the next hot
tech stock, the mob of day traders
increasingly neglects things that
they don't understand or can't get
excited about, which has created a
number of great opportunities for
the fund of late. Take insurance
stocks, for example. Insurance
fundamentals were beginning to
show signs of material
improvement - based on our
analysts' work as well as the
conversations we had with
companies earlier in the year -
after literally 10 years of subpar
results. At the same time, these
stocks continued to trade at
rock-bottom valuations, having
been ignored for so long by much of
the investment community. The
story was far too compelling to
pass up, so we added names such
as MetLife, PartnerRe and ACE
Limited into the mix, which
garnered us tremendous returns
in the span of just a few months.
The fact that we were able to do so
well in such a short period of time
tells me that there are abundant
opportunities for stock picking
today. This type of environment
feeds right into our strength -
bottom-up research - and, thus,
bodes well for us going forward.
We just have to get through a
period when people stop playing
these macro trends and become a
little less enamored with tech
stocks."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies Fund (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, Class T, Class B, Initial Class, 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. Class B shares will
automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of
seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends,
net operating losses 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $129,534,867 and $161,146,611, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic 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 .2167% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted
average return of all classes as compared to the appropriate index
over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annualized rate of .36% of average net assets
after the performance adjustment. Effective July 1, 1999, the fund's
performance adjustment will be phased out over an 18 month period.
During the phase out period the performance adjustment can decrease,
but not increase, the management fee owed by the fund.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service Plans with respect to each class of shares, except for the
Initial Class (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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of each class of shares and providing shareholder support
services. For the period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 10,302 $ 0
CLASS T 1,006,151 5,633
CLASS B 471,079 353,487
$ 1,487,532 $ 359,120
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six years of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B, 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 is paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 50,022 $ 12,778
CLASS T 60,066 17,764
CLASS B 94,328 94,328*
$ 204,416 $ 124,870
* WHEN CLASS B SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS COMMISSIONS FROM
ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and
Institutional Class Shares. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for the Initial Class Shares.
FIIOC and FSC receive 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. FIIOC and FSC pay for
typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except
proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to
FIIOC or FSC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 14,383 .35 *
CLASS T 434,388 .22 *
CLASS B 120,873 .26 *
INITIAL CLASS 15,138 .16 *
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 5,068 .21 *
$ 589,850
* ANNUALIZED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. 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 $25,604 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $2,443,425. The fund received cash collateral of
$2,698,700 which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. 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. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
loans were outstanding amounted to $1,926,278. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.96%.
7. 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 $21,752 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the each class' transfer
agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were
used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period, Class T's
expenses were reduced by $1,070 under its transfer agent arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The technology sell-off that began in mid-March continued to hamper
equity markets, driving the tech-heavy NASDAQ index down more than 16%
year to date through the end of May. Broader equity indexes, including
the S&P 500(registered trademark), also were down, but not as much as
more concentrated performance measures. In bond markets, Treasuries
got a boost late in the period as economic reports showed the first
signs of a slowing economy.
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.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories 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, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
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 VALUE STRATEGIES FUND - INITIAL 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past 10 year total returns would have been lower. Total returns do not
include the effect of the 3.50% sales load which was eliminated as of
September 30, 1998. Prior to July 1, 1999, Advisor Value Strategies
operated under certain different investment policies. Accordingly, the
fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment
policies.

</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Initial Class' performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months 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 Initial Class' returns to those of
the Russell Midcap Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of medium-capitalization value-oriented stocks of U.S.
corporations. To measure how Initial Class' performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 302 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the
effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories
that group funds according to portfolio characteristics and
capitalization. These averages are listed on page 5 of this report.*

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Value Strategies Fund - Initial Class on May 31,
1990. As the chart shows, by May 31, 2000, the value of the investment
would have grown to $33,486 - a 234.86% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell Midcap Value Index
did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $38,407 -
a 284.07% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
MARKET RECAP
U.S. equity investors faced a steadily
declining market during the latter
part of the six-month period that
ended May 31, 2000, after
experiencing continued growth the
prior three months. Two chief
catalysts - a tightening of monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve Board
and the bursting of a speculative
bubble in technology stocks -
sparked a sustained pullback among
the major U.S. equity indexes that
began in March. The tech-heavy
NASDAQ Composite Index reached
a high of 5048 on March 10 before
quickly retreating below the 4000
level. The NASDAQ dropped to
3401 on the final day of the period,
gaining a modest 2.05% return for
the six-month period. The Standard
& Poor's 500SM Index - an index
of 500 widely held stocks - fared
slightly better in returning 2.90%.
Another index of well-established
stocks - the blue chips' Dow Jones
Industrial Average - surged higher
during the NASDAQ's sharp
plummet in April, but the brief rally
wasn't enough to significantly offset
earlier losses, and the Dow returned
-2.55% for the period. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a barometer of
small-cap stocks - outperformed the
major indexes of larger companies
with a 5.50% return. As the period
drew to a close, weaker trading
volume suggested investors were
mixed about the direction of U.S.
stocks, and whether the three
interest-rate hikes levied by the
Fed during the period had begun
to cool off the overheated economy.

An interview with Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Value Strategies Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, HARRIS?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Initial
Class shares returned 2.42%, trailing the Russell Midcap Value Index,
which returned 5.92%. During the same period, the capital appreciation
funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 8.57%. For the 12 months
that ended May 31, 2000, the fund's Initial Class shares returned
4.80%. The Russell index and Lipper average returned -3.25% and
27.58%, respectively, during the same time frame.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. The fund fared well during the first four months of the period,
driven by strong performance in a number of our top holdings in an
environment where investors were paying up for stocks with good growth
stories. However, many of these same stocks began to unravel in the
spring, as the market grew increasingly concerned that further
interest-rate hikes would send the economy into a recession. Investors
dumped small- to mid-cap value names, choosing instead to focus their
sights on a smaller group of larger-sized, richly valued tech stocks.
Narrowing market breadth prevented the fund from keeping pace with its
index during the period. The fund suffered from its considerable
overweighting in small-cap tech players Midway Games and Performance
Technologies. However, our limited exposure to poorly performing
financial stocks, along with some good picks in the insurance sector,
helped buoy fund returns. The fund lagged its Lipper peers, a highly
growth-oriented group that was invested primarily in technology.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE STRATEGIES YOU EMPLOYED DURING THE PERIOD?
A. I stayed on the sidelines during the run-up in technology stocks.
High valuations and deteriorating long-term fundamentals influenced my
decision not to increase the fund's tech position dramatically, a move
that prevented us from losing even more in the spring. I remained
bearish on many of the popular tech stocks, given my feeling that many
of them had unsustainable business models and were driven by hype more
than anything fundamental. The fact is, I felt that there was just too
much competition in the tech space and too little business to justify
an extended move into the sector. This strategy proved successful
toward the end of the period, as technology stocks collapsed in April,
and liquidations and bankruptcies of dot-coms began to accelerate. Our
overexposure to weak retail and cyclical - or economically sensitive -
stocks also made life difficult for the fund. These names fell sharply
out of favor as the market narrowed, despite having fairly strong
business fundamentals. The problem was compounded for the retailing
sector by declining sales traced to a colder-than-normal spring in the
U.S.
Q. CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT A FEW STOCKS THAT PERFORMED WELL?
A. Certainly. Alliance Pharmaceutical was by far the fund's top
contributor, more than quadrupling in price at its peak in March, as
the biotechnology firm successfully pushed three of its products into
the third stage of clinical trials. The company got another boost late
in the period after it signed a marketing agreement with Baxter
International for Oxygent, an innovative oxygen-carrying molecule used
as a blood substitute. Cable Design Technology, a provider of
high-speed network connectivity products, trended higher on record
sales and markedly higher earnings. Insurance stocks such as MetLife
and XL Capital got a lift from tech-weary investors in search of
strong names elsewhere with actual earnings.
Q. WHICH STOCKS HURT THE MOST?
A. Midway Games - a maker of video game software - slipped on sluggish
sales and falling prices. Shares of telecommunications equipment
provider Performance Technologies collapsed in May after warning of
lower-than-expected earnings related to shipment delays and an order
backlog. Retailing stocks Ames, Big Dog and Shopko also detracted from
returns.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm optimistic about the fund's prospect. Never in my career have I
seen a market that presents more value opportunities over such a broad
array of capitalizations than the one we're in now. But it's probably
going to be a little difficult to see sustained outperformance from
value stocks until we get into an environment where the interest-rate
outlook is more favorable. Many of the companies in which the fund
invests have been delivering good results for some time now and should
be poised to benefit if the market were to broaden.

HARRIS LEVITON ON
FINDING VALUE IN
TODAY'S MARKETPLACE:
"In their haste to find the next hot
tech stock, the mob of day traders
increasingly neglects things that
they don't understand or can't get
excited about, which has created a
number of great opportunities for
the fund of late. Take insurance
stocks, for example. Insurance
fundamentals were beginning to
show signs of material
improvement - based on our
analysts' work as well as the
conversations we had with
companies earlier in the year -
after literally 10 years of subpar
results. At the same time, these
stocks continued to trade at
rock-bottom valuations, having
been ignored for so long by much of
the investment community. The
story was far too compelling to
pass up, so we added names such
as MetLife, PartnerRe and ACE
Limited into the mix, which
garnered us tremendous returns
in the span of just a few months.
The fact that we were able to do so
well in such a short period of time
tells me that there are abundant
opportunities for stock picking
today. This type of environment
feeds right into our strength -
bottom-up research - and, thus,
bodes well for us going forward.
We just have to get through a
period when people stop playing
these macro trends and become a
little less enamored with tech
stocks."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Value Strategies Fund (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, Class T, Class B, Initial Class, 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. Class B shares will
automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of
seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment 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. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities (including restricted 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. 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.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends,
net operating losses 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. 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 foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
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 for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency,
or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred
to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a bank
custodian. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at
a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase
agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment
adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $129,534,867 and $161,146,611, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic 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 .2167% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. 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 basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted
average return of all classes as compared to the appropriate index
over a specified period of time. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annualized rate of .36% of average net assets
after the performance adjustment. Effective July 1, 1999, the fund's
performance adjustment will be phased out over an 18 month period.
During the phase out period the performance adjustment can decrease,
but not increase, the management fee owed by the fund.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted separate Distribution and
Service Plans with respect to each class of shares, except for the
Initial Class (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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of each class of shares and providing shareholder support
services. For the period, this fee was based on the following annual
rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .25%
CLASS T .50%
CLASS B 1.00%*
* .75% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER
SERVICE FEE.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, a portion
of which was retained by FDC:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 10,302 $ 0
CLASS T 1,006,151 5,633
CLASS B 471,079 353,487
$ 1,487,532 $ 359,120
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 3.50% 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 six years of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 5% to 1% for Class B, 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 is paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO FDC RETAINED BY FDC
CLASS A $ 50,022 $ 12,778
CLASS T 60,066 17,764
CLASS B 94,328 94,328*
$ 204,416 $ 124,870
* WHEN CLASS B SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS COMMISSIONS FROM
ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to
as the transfer agent) for the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and
Institutional Class Shares. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for the Initial Class Shares.
FIIOC and FSC receive 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. FIIOC and FSC pay for
typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except
proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to
FIIOC or FSC:
AMOUNT % OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS
CLASS A $ 14,383 .35 *
CLASS T 434,388 .22 *
CLASS B 120,873 .26 *
INITIAL CLASS 15,138 .16 *
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS 5,068 .21 *
$ 589,850
* ANNUALIZED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. 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 $25,604 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $2,443,425. The fund received cash collateral of
$2,698,700 which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. 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. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
loans were outstanding amounted to $1,926,278. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.96%.
7. 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 $21,752 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the each class' transfer
agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were
used to reduce a portion of expenses. During the period, Class T's
expenses were reduced by $1,070 under its transfer agent arrangement.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
