FUND SUMMARY

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

ADVISOR KOREA FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment
strategies include:

(small solid bullet) Normally investing at least 65% of net assets in
equity and debt securities of Korean issuers.

(small solid bullet) Investing principally in equity securities of
Korean issuers.

(small solid bullet) Potentially investing up to 35% of total assets
in securities of other Asian issuers (Hong Kong, Japanese, or
Taiwanese issuers).

(small solid bullet) Investing up to 35% of total assets in any
industry that accounts for more than 20% of the Korean market.

(small solid bullet) Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's
financial condition and industry position and market and economic
conditions to select investments.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

(small solid bullet) STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY. Stock markets are
volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer,
political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different
parts of the market can react differently to these developments.

(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign markets, particularly
emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to
increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or
economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S.
market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic,
regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

(small solid bullet) GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION IN KOREA. The Korean
economy is currently recovering from a recession and can be
significantly affected by continued capital outflows, currency
fluctuations, and corporate bankruptcy. The Korean economy is
dependent on international trade and the economies of other Asian
countries. Korea's economy can also be significantly affected by
fluctuations in international commodity prices and currency exchange
rates. A small number of companies and industries represent a large
portion of the Korean market, and these companies and industries can
be sensitive to adverse political, economic, or regulatory
developments.

(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from
the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities
(those of less than investment-grade quality) can be more volatile due
to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory,
market, or economic developments.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a
greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single
issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would
occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

PERFORMANCE

ON JUNE 30, 2000, FIDELITY ADVISOR KOREA FUND, INC. (CLOSED-END FUND),
A CLOSED-END FUND WITH THE SAME INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND SUBSTANTIALLY
SIMILAR INVESTMENT POLICIES AS THE FUND WAS REORGANIZED AS AN OPEN-END
FUND (THE FUND) THROUGH A TRANSFER OF ALL OF ITS ASSETS AND
LIABILITIES TO THE FUND. SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CLOSED-END FUND RECEIVED
CLASS A SHARES OF THE FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR SHARES OF THE
CLOSED-END FUND. THE RETURNS PRESENTED BELOW DO NOT REFLECT CLASS A,
CLASS T, CLASS B, OR CLASS C TOTAL EXPENSES. IF THE EFFECT OF EACH
CLASS'S TOTAL EXPENSES WERE REFLECTED, RETURNS MAY BE LOWER THAN THOSE
SHOWN BECAUSE EACH CLASS MAY HAVE HIGHER TOTAL EXPENSES THAN THE
CLOSED-END FUND.

The following information illustrates the changes in the Closed-End
Fund's performance from year to year and compares each class's
performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the
performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns are
based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

YEAR-BY-YEAR RETURNS

The returns in the chart do not include the effect of Class A's or
Class T's front-end sales charge or Class B's or Class C's contingent
deferred sales charge (CDSC). If the effect of the sales charge were
reflected, returns would be lower than those shown.

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

ADVISOR KOREA FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in equity
and debt securities of Korean issuers. Korean issuers are those
issuers (i) organized under the laws of Korea, (ii) that derive at
least 50% of their revenues or profits from goods produced or sold,
investments made, or services performed in Korea, or have at least 50%
of their assets located in Korea, (iii) that have the primary trading
market for their securities in Korea or (iv) that are the government,
or its agencies or instrumentalities or other political subdivisions,
of Korea. FMR intends to invest the fund's assets principally in
equity securities of Korean issuers.

FMR may invest up to 35% of the fund's total assets in issuers (i)
organized under the laws of Hong Kong, Japan or Taiwan, (ii) that
derive at least 50% of their revenues or profits from goods produced
or sold, investments made, or services performed in Hong Kong, Japan
or Taiwan, (iii) that have the primary trading market for their
securities in Hong Kong, Japan or Taiwan, or (iv) that are the
governments, or their agencies or instrumentalities or other political
subdivisions, of Hong Kong, Japan or Taiwan.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a
significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on
fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in
light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and
economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth
potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other
institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures
contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's
strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its
objective.

DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES

EQUITY SECURITIES represent an ownership interest, or the right to
acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity
securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority
in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities
include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and
warrants.

DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but
are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include
corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other
asset-backed securities.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price
changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates
and in response to other economic, political, or financial
developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be
affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the
financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic
location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the
securities of that issuer. Because FMR may invest a significant
percentage of the fund's assets in certain industries, the fund's
performance could be affected to the extent that the particular
industry or industries in which the fund invests are sensitive to
adverse changes in economic or political conditions. In addition,
because FMR concentrates the fund's investments in a particular
country, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to
economic and political conditions within that country and to be more
volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified
funds. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's
assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely
tied to the market value of that one issuer and could be more volatile
than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your
shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you
paid for them.

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY. The value of equity securities fluctuates in
response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In
the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response
to these developments. Different parts of the market and different
types of equity securities can react differently to these
developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from
small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from
"value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect
a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or
geographic region, or the market as a whole.

INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Debt securities have varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a
debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when
interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage
securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes.

FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and
securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations
can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or
regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include
fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes;
trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the
less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some
foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments,
especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially
less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can
perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and
greater than those generally associated with investing in more
developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development;
political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization;
and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets.
Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic,
regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make
emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid
than securities issued in more developed markets.

GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. Political and economic conditions and
changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country could
significantly affect the market in that country and in surrounding or
related countries.

KOREA. The Korean economy is currently recovering from a recession and
can be significantly affected by continued capital outflows, currency
fluctuations, and corporate bankruptcy. The Korean economy is
dependent on international trade and the economies of other Asian
countries. The United States is Korea's largest single trading
partner, but much of Korea's trade is conducted with developing
nations, almost all of which are in Southeast Asia. Korea is heavily
dependent on imports of natural resources such as oil, forest
products, and industrial metals. Accordingly, Korea's economy can also
be significantly affected by fluctuations in international commodity
prices and currency exchange rates. A small number of companies and
industries, including the [NAMES OF INDUSTRIES THAT CURRENTLY ACCOUNT
FOR 20% OF THE KOREAN MARKET] [industry/industries], represent a large
portion of the market in Korea.

ASIA. Asia includes countries in all stages of economic development,
from the highly developed economy of Japan to the emerging market
economy of the People's Republic of China. Most Asian economies are
characterized by over-extension of credit, currency devaluations and
restrictions, rising unemployment, high inflation, decreased exports,
and economic recessions. Currency devaluations in any one country can
have a significant effect on the entire region. Recently, the markets
in each Asian country have suffered significant downturns as well as
significant volatility. Increased political and social unrest in some
or all Asian countries could cause further economic and market
uncertainty.

The HONG KONG economy is dependent on the economies of other Asian
countries. The willingness and ability of the Chinese government to
support the Hong Kong economy and market is uncertain. Changes in
government policy could significantly affect the Hong Kong market.

The JAPANESE economy is currently in a recession. The economy is
characterized by government intervention and protectionism, an
unstable financial services sector, and relatively high unemployment.
Economic growth is dependent on international trade, government
support of the financial services sector and other troubled sectors,
and consistent government policy.

The TAIWANESE economy...

.ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general
economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or
value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller,
less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger
issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than
investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to these changes
than higher-quality debt securities.

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price
changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value
of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to
company, political, or economic developments and can decline
significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general
or regional economic difficulty.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR
may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's
performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change
only by shareholder approval.

ADVISOR KOREA FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation.

VALUING SHARES

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates each class's NAV as of the close
of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV
may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as
permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's
assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing each
class's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on
days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be
affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition,
trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the
fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of
amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available for a
security or if a security's value has been materially affected by
events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which
the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or
market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board
of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's
valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining
value.

BUYING SHARES

The price to buy one share of Class A or Class T is the class's
offering price or the class's NAV, depending on whether you pay a
front-end sales charge.

For Class B and Class C, the price to buy one share is the class's
NAV. Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales
charge, but may be subject to a CDSC upon redemption.

If you pay a front-end sales charge, your price will be Class A's or
Class T's offering price. When you buy Class A or Class T shares at
the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropriate sales charge and
invests the rest in Class A or Class T shares of the fund. If you
qualify for a front-end sales charge waiver, your price will be Class
A's or Class T's NAV.

The offering price of Class A or Class T is its NAV divided by the
difference between one and the applicable front-end sales charge
percentage. Class A has a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% of
the offering price. Class T has a maximum front-end sales charge of
3.50% of the offering price.

Your shares will be bought at the next offering price or NAV, as
applicable, calculated after your order is received in proper form.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit
your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on
the day you place your order.

Short-term or excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm
performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by
increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase
orders, including exchanges, particularly from market timers or
investors who, in FMR's opinion, have a pattern of short-term or
excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to
the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading
history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common
ownership or control.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only
on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

When you place an order to buy shares, note the following:

(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.

(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity reserves the right to limit the number
of checks processed at one time.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity must receive payment within three
business days after an order for shares is placed; otherwise your
purchase order may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses
or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will
be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or
Fidelity has incurred.

Shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an
automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees
payment for orders on a specified date.

Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria
established by Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter
confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with
payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business
day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be
canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.

SELLING SHARES

The price to sell one share of each class is the class's NAV, minus
THE REDEMPTION FEE (TRADING FEE), IF APPLICABLE, AND any applicable
CDSC.

IF YOU SELL CLASS A SHARES RECEIVED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
REORGANIZATION OF THE CLOSED-END FUND AFTER HOLDING THEM LESS THAN 200
DAYS AFTER JUNE 30, 2000. THIS FEE IS PAID TO THE FUND RATHER THAN
FIDELITY, AND IS DESIGNED TO OFFSET THE BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS, MARKET
IMPACT, AND OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FLUCTUATIONS IN FUND ASSET
LEVELS AND CASH FLOW CAUSED BY SHORT-TERM SHAREHOLDER TRADING.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, the fund may impose a
redemption fee on OTHER redemptions from the fund.

Any applicable CDSC is calculated based on your original redemption
amount.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order
is received in proper form, minus the trading fee, if applicable, and
any applicable CDSC.

It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit
your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on

than the one on your account (record address);
(small solid bullet) The check is being made payable to someone other

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank,

association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

(small solid bullet) If you are selling some but not all of your
shares, leave at least $1,000 worth of shares in the account to keep
it open, except accounts not subject to account minimums.

redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven
business days after a purchase.

(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays),

FEATURES

The following features are available to buy and sell shares of the
fund.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT AND WITHDRAWAL PROGRAMS. Fidelity offers
convenient services that let you automatically transfer money into
your account, between accounts, or out of your account. While
automatic investment programs do not guarantee a profit and will not
protect you against loss in a declining market, they can be an
excellent way to invest for retirement, a home, educational expenses,
and other long-term financial goals. Automatic withdrawal or exchange
programs can be a convenient way to provide a consistent income flow
or to move money between your investments.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its
investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to
shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from
its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to
shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in
December.

DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. The following options may be available for
each class's distributions:

1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividends and capital gain distributions
will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same
class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your
application, you will be assigned this option.

2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the
fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. CASH OPTION. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be
paid in cash.

4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividends
will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another
identically registered Fidelity Advisor fund or shares of certain
identically registered Fidelity funds. Your capital gain distributions
will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another
identically registered Fidelity Advisor fund or shares of certain
identically registered Fidelity funds, automatically reinvested in
additional shares of the same class of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the
option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you
want to change your current option, contact your investment
professional directly or call Fidelity.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the
U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution
option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not
receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution
checks.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax
consequences for you. If you are not investing through a
tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax
consequences.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions you receive from the fund are
subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or
local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, the fund's dividends and distributions of
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income, while
the fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you
generally as capital gains.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed
income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the
full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price
back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be
taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution
option.

TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may
result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital
gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the
difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive
when you sell them.

(ii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury
Fund.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. To receive a Class A or Class T front-end
sales charge reduction, if you are an existing shareholder, you may
add to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares the current value of
your holdings in: (i) Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares of
any Fidelity Advisor fund, (ii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C
Class shares of Treasury Fund and (iii) Daily Money Class shares of
Treasury Fund, Prime Fund or Tax-Exempt Fund acquired by exchange from
any Fidelity Advisor fund.

LETTER OF INTENT. You may receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales
charge reduction on your purchases of Class A and Class T shares made
during a 13-month period by signing a Letter of Intent (Letter). Each
Class A or Class T purchase you make after you sign the Letter will be
entitled to the reduced front-end sales charge applicable to the total
investment indicated in the Letter. Purchases of the following may be
aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter: (i) Class A and
Class T shares of any Fidelity Advisor fund (except those acquired by
exchange from Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund or
Tax-Exempt Fund that had been previously exchanged from a Fidelity
Advisor fund), (ii) Class B and Class C shares of any Fidelity Advisor
fund and (iii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of
Treasury Fund. Reinvested income and capital gain distributions will
not be considered purchases for the purpose of completing your Letter.

Class B shares may, upon redemption, be assessed a CDSC based on the
following schedule:

CLASS B

From Date of Purchase Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge

Less than 1 year 5%

1 year to less than 2 years 4%

2 years to less than 3 years 3%

3 years to less than 4 years 3%

4 years to less than 5 years 2%

5 years to less than 6 years 1%

6 years to less than 7 years A 0%

A AFTER A MAXIMUM OF SEVEN YEARS, CLASS B SHARES WILL CONVERT
AUTOMATICALLY TO CLASS A SHARES OF THE SAME FIDELITY ADVISOR FUND.

When exchanging Class B shares of one fund for Class B shares of
another Fidelity Advisor fund or Advisor B Class shares of Treasury
Fund, your Class B shares retain the CDSC schedule in effect when they
were originally bought.

Except as provided below, investment professionals receive as
compensation from FDC, at the time of sale, a concession equal to
4.00% of your purchase of Class B shares. For purchases of Class B
shares through reinvested dividends or capital gain distributions,
investment professionals do not receive a concession at the time of
sale.

Class C shares may, upon redemption within one year of purchase, be
assessed a CDSC of 1.00%.

Except as provided below, investment professionals will receive as
compensation from FDC, at the time of the sale, a concession equal to
1.00% of your purchase of Class C shares. For purchases of Class C
shares made for an employee benefit plan, 403(b) program or plan
covering a sole-proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan) or through
reinvested dividends or capital gain distributions, investment
professionals do not receive a concession at the time of sale.

The CDSC for Class B and Class C shares will be calculated based on
the lesser of the cost of the Class B or Class C shares, as
applicable, at the initial date of purchase or the value of those
Class B or Class C shares, as applicable, at redemption, not including
any reinvested dividends or capital gains. Class B and Class C shares
acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions will not be subject to a CDSC. In determining the
applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, Class B or Class C
shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be
redeemed first, followed by those Class B or Class C shares that have
been held for the longest period of time.

A front-end sales charge will not apply to the following Class A
shares:

Class A shares in amounts of $25 million or more, and (iii) Class T
shares in amounts of $1 million or more, investment professionals will
be compensated with a fee at the rate of 0.25% of the purchase amount.

Shares held by an insurance company separate account will be
aggregated at the client (e.g., the contract holder or plan sponsor)
level, not at the separate account level. Upon request, anyone
claiming eligibility for the 0.25% fee with respect to shares held by
an insurance company separate account must provide Fidelity access to
records detailing purchases at the client level.

Except as provided below, any assets on which a finder's fee has been
paid will bear a contingent deferred sales charge (Class A or Class T
CDSC) if they do not remain in Class A or Class T shares of the
Fidelity Advisor funds, or Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund,
Prime Fund or Tax-Exempt Fund, for a period of at least one
uninterrupted year. The Class A or Class T CDSC will be 0.25% of the
lesser of the cost of the Class A or Class T shares , as applicable,
at the initial date of purchase or the value of those Class A or Class
T shares, as applicable, at redemption, not including any reinvested
dividends or capital gains. Class A and Class T shares acquired
through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will
not be subject to a Class A or Class T CDSC. In determining the
applicability and rate of any Class A or Class T CDSC at redemption,
Class A or Class T shares representing reinvested dividends and
capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by those Class A or
Class T CDSC shares that have been held for the longest period of
time.

The Class A or Class T CDSC will not apply to the redemption of
shares:

1. Held by insurance company separate accounts;

2. For plan loans or distributions or exchanges to non-Advisor fund
investment options from employee benefit plans (except shares of
SIMPLE IRA, SEP, and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed
individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)
purchased on or after February 11, 1999) and 403(b) programs; or

3. For disability, payment of death benefits, or minimum required
distributions starting at age 70 from Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs,
SIMPLE IRAs, SEPs, SARSEPs and plans covering a sole-proprietor or
self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10
plans).

To qualify for a Class A or Class T finder's fee or CDSC waiver, you
must notify Fidelity in advance of your purchase or redemption,
respectively.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you have sold all or part of yourClass A,
Class T, Class B or Class C shares of the fund, you may reinvest an
amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption proceeds in the
same class of the fund or another Fidelity Advisor fund, at the NAV
next determined after receipt in proper form of your investment order,
provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption.
Under these circumstances, the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if
any, on shares will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in
Class A, Class T, Class B or Class C shares, as applicable. You must
reinstate your Class A, Class T, Class B or Class C shares into an
account with the same registration. This privilege may be exercised
only once by a shareholder with respect to the fund and certain
restrictions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding
period will continue as if the Class A, Class T, Class B or Class C
shares had not been redeemed.

To qualify for the reinstatement privilege, you must notify Fidelity
in writing in advance of your reinvestment.

CONVERSION FEATURE. After a maximum of seven years from the initial
date of purchase, Class B shares and any capital appreciation
associated with those shares, convert automatically to Class A shares
of the fund. Conversion to Class A shares will be made at NAV. At the
time of conversion, a portion of the Class B shares bought through the
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also
convert to Class A shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will
convert is determined by the ratio of your converting Class B
non-Dividend Shares to your total Class B non-Dividend Shares.

Class A of the fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under
the plan, Class A of the fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1
fee as compensation for providing services intended to result in the
sale of Class A shares and/or shareholder support services. Class A of
the fund may pay FDC a 12b-1 fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of its
average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may
determine from time to time. Class A of the fund currently pays FDC a
monthly 12b-1 fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets
throughout the month. Class A's 12b-1 fee rate for Advisor Korea may
be increased only when the Trustees believe that it is in the best
interests of Class A shareholders to do so.

Class T of the fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under
the plan, Class T of the fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1
fee as compensation for providing services intended to result in the
sale of Class T shares and/or shareholder support services. Class T of
the fund may pay FDC a 12b-1 fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of its
average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may
determine from time to time. Class T of the fund currently pays FDC a
monthly 12b-1 fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of its average net assets
throughout the month. Class T's 12b-1 fee rate for Advisor Korea may
be increased only when the Trustees believe that it is in the best
interests of Class T shareholders to do so.

FDC may reallow to intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers and
other service-providers), including its affiliates, up to the full
amount of the Class A and Class T 12b-1 fee, for providing services
intended to result in the sale of Class A or Class T shares and/or
shareholder support services.

Class B of the fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under
the plan, Class B of the fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1
(distribution) fee as compensation for providing services intended to
result in the sale of Class B shares. Class B of the fund currently
pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75%
of its average net assets throughout the month.

In addition, pursuant to the Class B plan, Class B pays FDC a monthly
12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class B's average
net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support
services.

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of the Class B 12b-1 (service)
fee to intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers) for providing shareholder support services.

Class C of the fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under
the plan, Class C of the fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly 12b-1
(distribution) fee as compensation for providing services intended to
result in the sale of Class C shares. Class C of the fund currently
pays FDC a monthly 12b-1 (distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75%
of its average net assets throughout the month.

In addition, pursuant to the Class C plan, Class C pays FDC a monthly
12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class C's average
net assets throughout the month for providing shareholder support
services.

Normally, after the first year of investment, FDC may reallow up to
the full amount of the Class C 12b-1 (distribution) fees to
intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers) for providing services intended to result in the
sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to the full amount of the
Class C 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries for providing
shareholder support services.

For purchases of Class C shares made for an employee benefit plan,
403(b) program or plan covering a sole-proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R.
10 plan) or through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions, during the first year of investment and thereafter, FDC
may reallow up to the full amount of the Class C 12b-1 (distribution)
fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its affiliates,
for providing services intended to result in the sale of Class C
shares and may reallow up to the full amount of the Class C 12b-1
(service) fee paid by such shares to intermediaries, including its
affiliates, for providing shareholder support services.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of each class's assets on an ongoing
basis, they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you
more than paying other types of sales charges.

In addition, each plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make
payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other
resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing
services intended to result in the sale of the applicable class's
shares and/or shareholder support services, including payments made to
intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of
Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Class A, Class
T, Class B and Class C.

To receive sales concessions, finder's fees and payments made pursuant
to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the
appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into
account the sale of shares of the Fidelity Advisor funds, provided
that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates
comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related
statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the
offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do
not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the
fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is
unlawful to make such offer.

PERFORMANCE

. ON JUNE 30, 2000, FIDELITY ADVISOR KOREA FUND, INC. (CLOSED-END
FUND), A CLOSED-END FUND WITH THE SAME INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR INVESTMENT POLICIES AS THE FUND WAS REORGANIZED
AS AN OPEN-END FUND (THE FUND) THROUGH A TRANSFER OF ALL OF ITS ASSETS
AND LIABILITIES TO THE FUND. SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CLOSED-END FUND
RECEIVED CLASS A SHARES OF THE FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR SHARES OF
THE CLOSED-END FUND. THE RETURNS PRESENTED BELOW DO NOT REFLECT
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS TOTAL EXPENSES. IF THE EFFECT OF INSTITUTIONAL
CLASS EXPENSES WERE REFLECTED, RETURNS MAY BE LOWER THAN THOSE SHOWN
BECAUSE INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES OF THE FUND MAY HAVE HIGHER TOTAL
EXPENSES THAN THE CLOSED-END FUND.

The following information illustrates the changes in the CLOSED-END
FUND's performance from year to year and compares the CLOSED-END
FUND's performance to the performance of a market index and an average
of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time.
Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future
performance.

A EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2000,, FMR HAS AGREED TO REIMBURSE THE
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS OF THE FUND TO THE EXTENT THAT TOTAL OPERATING
EXPENSES (EXCLUDING INTEREST, TAXES, CERTAIN SECURITIES LENDING FEES,
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS, AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES), AS A PERCENTAGE OF
ITS AVERAGE NET ASSETS, EXCEED 1.85%. THIS ARRANGEMENT CAN BE
DISCONTINUED BY FMR AT ANY TIME.

This EXAMPLE helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that Institutional Class's annual return is
5% and that your shareholder fees and Institutional Class's annual
operating expenses are exactly as described in the fee table. This
example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant
to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of
which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates Institutional Class's NAV as of
the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is
restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of
computing Institutional Class's NAV.

discretionary assets under management.

As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing the fund's investments
and handling its business affairs.

Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments:

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.

For _____ 2000, the group fee rate was __%. The individual fund fee
rate is 0.55.

FMR pays FMR U.K., FMR Far East and FIIA for providing sub-advisory
services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FMR or FMR Far East pays
FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR will pay FMRC for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the
ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified
limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements,
[which may be discontinued by FMR at any time,] can decrease a class's
expenses and boost its performance.

[As of ______, approximately ____% of the fund's total outstanding
shares were held by [FMR/FMR and [an] FMR affiliate[s]/[an] FMR
affiliate[s]].]

FUND DISTRIBUTION

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the
fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

FDC distributes the class's shares.

Institutional Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that
recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as
its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC
for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended
to result in the sale of Institutional Class shares and/or shareholder
support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay
intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for Institutional Class.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan,
intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in
advance.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that
may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:

(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;

(2) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;

(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;

(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in companies whose principal business
activities are in the same industry, EXCEPT THAT THE FUND MAY PURCHASE
THE SECURITIES OF ANY ISSUER IF, AS A RESULT, NO MORE THAN 35% OF THE
FUND'S TOTAL ASSETS WOULD BE INVESTED IN ANY INDUSTRY THAT ACCOUNTS
FOR MORE THAN 20% OF THE KOREAN MARKET AS A WHOLE, AS MEASURED BY AN
INDEX DETERMINED BY FMR TO BE AN APPROPRIATE MEASURE OF THE KOREAN
MARKET;

(5) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);

(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures
contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed
by physical commodities); or

(7) LEND ANY SECURITY OR make any loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.

(8) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity
Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.

THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.

(i) In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits
imposed by Subchapter M.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.

(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (2)).

(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as
a result, more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money, up to 15% of
the fund's net assets, to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)

(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company
managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or
successor with substantially the same fundamental investment
objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

FOR PURPOSES OF NORMALLY INVESTING AT LEAST 65% OF THE FUND'S TOTAL
ASSETS IN SECURITIES OF KOREAN ISSUERS, FMR INTERPRETS "TOTAL ASSETS"
TO EXCLUDE COLLATERAL RECEIVED FOR SECURITIES LENDING TRANSACTIONS.

For purposes of limitation (i), Subchapter M generally requires the
fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of
any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that
no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities
of any one issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments
in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter
M) and securities of other investment companies. These tax
requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the
fund's taxable year.

With respect to limitation (v), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 15% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 6.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve
its goal.

AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If
the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be
considered a form of leverage.

CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in
cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase
agreements or shares of money market funds. Generally, these
securities offer less potential for gains than other types of
securities.

CENTRAL CASH FUNDS are money market funds managed by FMR or its
affiliates that seek to earn a high level of current income (free from
federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The funds comply with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments.

COMMON STOCK represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer.
In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the
claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the
claims of those who own common stock.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks
or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder
or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash
or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A
convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion
by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances
(including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible
security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the
fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into
the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss
than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields
higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than
comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield,
convertible securities generally sell at prices above their
"conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to
be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion
value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time
depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and
interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value,
convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent
because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of
principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities.
However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of
the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same
extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the
underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible
securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time,
however, the difference between the market value of convertible
securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that
the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the
same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because
convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their
value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest
rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk,
and are often lower-quality securities.

DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay interest but are
sold at a deep discount from their face values. Debt securities
include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other
asset-backed securities.

EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks
inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political,
economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or
unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by
actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S.
investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization
of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or
on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S.
dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental
issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest
and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for
payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able
to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In
addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies
and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities
will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some
foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities
of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or
the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer,
securities depository or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs
associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes,
brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than
with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S.
markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and
standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available,
and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding
corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall
governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges,
brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets
tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain
countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be
influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have
difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the
United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less
liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject
to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of
ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global
Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of
shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by
depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the
United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by
a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home
country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the
underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various
services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate
actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying
foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However,
ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with
investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign
exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the
underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in
emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be
significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets,
reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established
markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets
may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of
nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and
prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less
protection of property rights than more developed countries. The
economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a
few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global
trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt
burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small
number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to
increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of
holdings difficult or impossible at times.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. A fund may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by
entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge
a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the
difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling
various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign
currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should
the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward
contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount
of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a
specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are
generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The
parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the
contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and
complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management
strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A
fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and
futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same
purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a
fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the
date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is
made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or
sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying
security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the
U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or
sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of
future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign
currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected
by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For
example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it
could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return
for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's
value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge,"
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations,
but would not offset changes in security values caused by other
factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another
currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This
type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would
not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S.
dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to
hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged
securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment
exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting
exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign
currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes
known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to
the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that
is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one
currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another.
Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the
hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of
fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's
skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may
substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in
currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if
currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a
currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling
that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in
the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through
proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge
and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem.
Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency
and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There
is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will
be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

FOREIGN REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Foreign repurchase agreements involve
an agreement to purchase a foreign security and to sell that security
back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price in either U.S.
dollars or foreign currency. Unlike typical U.S. repurchase
agreements, foreign repurchase agreements may not be fully
collateralized at all times. The value of a security purchased by a
fund may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to repurchase the security. In the event of default by the
counterparty, the fund may suffer a loss if the value of the security
purchased is less than the agreed-upon repurchase price, or if the
fund is unable to successfully assert a claim to the collateral under
foreign laws. As a result, foreign repurchase agreements may involve
higher credit risks than repurchase agreements in U.S. markets, as
well as risks associated with currency fluctuations. In addition, as
with other emerging market investments, repurchase agreements with
counterparties located in emerging markets or relating to emerging
markets may involve issuers or counterparties with lower credit
ratings than typical U.S. repurchase agreements.

FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however,
may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views
on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors,
and shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters
could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment
in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either
individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others,
supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate
structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's
directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or
policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a
portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing third-party takeover
efforts. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to
litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in
lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities
with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of
litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund
is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that
litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities
incurred.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures
Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and
Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put
and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option
in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options
positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction
costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely
that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's
current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in
options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price
fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.

FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future
date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a
specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price
at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer
and seller enter into the contract. Futures can be held until their
delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary
market is available.

Futures may be based on foreign indexes such as the CAC 40 (France),
DAX 30 (Germany), EuroTop 100 (Europe), IBEX (Spain), FTSE 100 (United
Kingdom), All Ordinary (Australia), Hang Seng (Hong Kong), and Nikkei
225, Nikkei 300 and TOPIX (Japan).

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.

FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the
fund.

Although futures exchanges generally operate similarly in the United
States and abroad, foreign futures exchanges may follow trading,
settlement and margin procedures that are different from those for
U.S. exchanges. Futures contracts traded outside the United States may
involve greater risk of loss than U.S.-traded contracts, including
potentially greater risk of losses due to insolvency of a futures
broker, exchange member or other party that may owe initial or
variation margin to a fund. Because initial and variation margin
payments may be measured in foreign currency, a futures contract
traded outside the United States may also involve the risk of foreign
currency fluctuation.

LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund INTENDS TO
FILE a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the
term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets, before engaging in any purchases or
sales of futures contracts or options on futures contracts. The fund
intends to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act,
which limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial
margin deposits and option premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase
put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of
the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under
normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options
if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or
exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would
exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c)
purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option
premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the
fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options
attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts
and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and
options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory
agencies permit.

LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.

OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except
that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and
are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency
futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The
underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency,
which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S.
dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency
call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the
purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying
currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to
options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed
above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase
and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to
different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased
or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or
forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected
to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors
that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for
example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in
the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting
from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value
of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to
many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to
match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the
fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded
on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the
other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement
allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option
to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than
exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing
organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for
this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option
(known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of
securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate
its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising
the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will
lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser
completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A
purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary
market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation
to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the
other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek
to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out
the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the
secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer
must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on
a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to
an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the prices at which they are
valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may
be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through
reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume
of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective
purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it
trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics
and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other
credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the
method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the
security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and
obligations of the security).

INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed to the
prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other
financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always,
are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate
is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to
intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest
rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more
specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S.
dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be
positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may
increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a
security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument,
or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase,
resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a
put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also
have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign
currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which
they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes
in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also
subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the
security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's
creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities
have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government
agencies.

INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will lend
through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from an investment in repurchase agreements, and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the
cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a
higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.
Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES. Investment-grade debt securities are
medium and high-quality securities. Some may possess speculative
characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to
changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is
considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by
Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit
Rating Co., or Fitch IBCA Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of
equivalent quality by FMR.

ISSUER LOCATION. FMR determines where an issuer [or its principal
activities] [is/are] located by looking at such factors as the
issuer's country of organization, the primary trading market for the
issuer's securities, and the location of the issuer's assets,
personnel, sales, and earnings. The issuer of a security is considered
to be located in a particular country if (1) the security is issued or
guaranteed by the government of the country or any of its agencies,
political subdivisions, or instrumentalities; (2) the security has its
primary trading market in that country; or (3) the issuer is organized
under the laws of that country, derives at least 50% of its revenues
or profits from goods sold, investments made, or services performed in
the country, or has at least 50% of its assets located in the country.

LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Direct debt instruments are
interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other
borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan
participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or
other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments
involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the
borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the
event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement
that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend
primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of
interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or
principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be
adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more
protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make
scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no
assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would
satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be
liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor
involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative.
Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off
their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount
owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk
that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the
debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal
when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial
institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional
risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could
become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and
liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In
addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of
lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender.
Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the
lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution
that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of
the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms
of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse
against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to
apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held
by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be
subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser
might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan
or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or
interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit
facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate
purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These
commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase
its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise
have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that
the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any
one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's
investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund
generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held
by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other
lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund
and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the
direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC
interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat
both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as
"issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an
issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in
indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of
intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying
borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities have poor
protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of
principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered
to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes
due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of
lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of
higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity
of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing
services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt
securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially
important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt
to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial
condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is
expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative
values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset
coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial
strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security
holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it
determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

PREFERRED STOCK represents an equity or ownership interest in an
issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence
over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer
is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds
take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common
stock.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve an agreement to purchase a security and
to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon
price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased
may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could
result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES are subject to legal restrictions on their sale.
Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to
a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately
negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering.
Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security
may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a
considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek
registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under
an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be
viewed as a form of leverage.

SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES, including shares of
closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end
investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed
portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in
other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as
investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve
additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio
management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment
companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed
number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at
a premium or a discount to their net asset value. Others are
continuously offered at net asset value, but may also be traded in the
secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other
investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

SECURITIES LENDING. A fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) and a subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower
provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the
value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to
obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving
material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults
on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of
insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs
in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the
collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign
securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a
fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in
the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value
of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment
is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be
in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would
justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested
in other eligible securities. Investing this cash subjects that
investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation
or depreciation.

SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX" are short sales of securities that a
fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to
the securities sold short). If a fund enters into a short sale against
the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities
convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required
to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The fund
will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in
connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against
the box.

SOVEREIGN DEBT OBLIGATIONS are issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments or their agencies, including debt of Latin American
nations or other developing countries. Sovereign debt may be in the
form of conventional securities or other types of debt instruments
such as loans or loan participations. Sovereign debt of developing
countries may involve a high degree of risk, and may be in default or
present the risk of default. Governmental entities responsible for
repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal
and pay interest when due, and may require renegotiation or
rescheduling of debt payments. In addition, prospects for repayment of
principal and payment of interest may depend on political as well as
economic factors. Although some sovereign debt, such as Brady Bonds,
is collateralized by U.S. Government securities, repayment of
principal and payment of interest is not guaranteed by the U.S.
Government.

SWAP AGREEMENTS can be individually negotiated and structured to
include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or
market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may
increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest
rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such
as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many
different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments
only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a
fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap
obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified
interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an
interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a
specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest
rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from
one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to
exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the
swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S.
interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and
interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or
writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may
increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments
and its share price.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is
the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors
that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a
swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be
prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the
counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap
agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.
A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement
either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an
offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly
creditworthy party.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POLICIES. The fund reserves the right to invest
without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt
instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

WARRANTS. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an
equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time.
Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to
changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a
warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying
security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital
appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with
respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in
the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if
it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can
make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make interest payments; instead, they are
sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of
fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a
fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon
bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ASIA PACIFIC REGION (EX JAPAN)

Many countries in the region have historically faced political
uncertainty, corruption, military intervention, and social unrest.
Examples include the ethnic, sectarian, and separatist violence found
in Indonesia, and the nuclear arms threats between India and Pakistan.
To the extent that such events continue in the future, they can be
expected to have a negative effect on economic and securities market
conditions in the region.

ECONOMIC. The economic health of the region depends, in great part, on
each country's respective ability to carry out fiscal and monetary
reforms and its ability to address the International Monetary Fund's
mandated benchmarks. The majority of the countries in the region can
be characterized as either developing or newly industrialized
economies, which tend to experience more volatile economic cycles than
developed countries. In addition, a number of countries in the region
have historically faced hyperinflation, a deterrent to productivity
and economic growth.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any currency entails an
additional risk that is not faced when investing in the domestic
market. Some countries in the region may impose restrictions on
converting local currency, effectively preventing foreigners from
selling assets and repatriating funds. While flexible exchange rates
through most of the region should allow greater control of domestic
liquidity conditions, the region's currencies generally face
above-average volatility with potentially negative implications for
economic and security market conditions.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The Asia Pacific region has been subjected to
periodic natural disasters such as earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal
waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic
disruption upon the populace and industry of the countries in that
region.

KOREA. Since 1997, Korea's robust economy has been buffeted by a
financial crisis marked by significant capital outflows, sharp
depreciation of the won, and severe distress in the corporate and
financial sectors. The severe disruption and loss of confidence
because of the crisis, however, led to Korea's worst recession in over
three decades. The nation's economic difficulties were a direct
result of Asia's economic and currency crisis and the way Korea
conducts its business at home and abroad. While steps have been
initiated to remedy many of the causes of Korea's recent economic
problems, their successful implementation is not assured. Investors
should be aware that investing in Korea involves risks not typically
associated with investing in the U.S. securities markets:

Korea's economy and the stability of its currency can be adversely
affected by any regional economic or currency turmoil. The economic
health of the Asian region depends, in great part, on each country's
respective ability to carry out fiscal and monetary reforms and its
ability to address the International Monetary Fund's mandated
benchmarks. The majority of the countries in the Asian region can be
characterized as either developing or newly industrialized economies,
which tend to experience more volatile economic cycles than developed
countries.

In addition, certain structural weaknesses have made Korea vulnerable
to the financial turbulence of the kind that recently swept through
Asia. First, the corporate sector has been characterized by low
levels of profitability and high levels of debt, reflecting the
tendency of the nation's business conglomerates to diversify into
capital-intensive businesses. Second, Korea has had a poorly
functioning financial system that has been further weakened by a
series of major corporate bankruptcies.

Since the 1997 economic and currency meltdown, Korea has instituted a
number of major reforms. The main objectives of these initiatives
were to stabilize the economy and restore sustainable growth through a
fundamental restructuring of the economy. However, the success of
these initiatives have been widely mixed and further progress is not
yet assured. The collapse of Korea's second largest conglomerate and
the resulting turmoil in financial markets in the second half of 1999
illustrates that there are lingering risks that could stand in the way
of sustaining rapid growth. Thus, despite the major progress made in
the area of structural reforms there is still a large unfinished
agenda, especially in the financial and corporate sectors.

Much of Korea's economy is dependent upon international trade. The
country is a leading exporter of industrial machinery as well as autos
and industrial and consumer electronics. While the United States is
the nations largest single trading partner, much of Korea's trade is
conducted with developing nations, almost all of which are in
Southeast Asia. For the past three years, Southeast Asia's economies
have been mired in economic stagnation, and Korea's exports to the
area have been in steep decline. Much of Korea's hopes for economic
recovery and renewed export growth are largely dependent upon the pace
of economic recovery in the region's emerging nations.

The division of the Korean Peninsula in 1945 left South Korea without
most of the peninsula's natural resources. Since then, this highly
industrialized nation is heavily dependent upon imports of essential
products such as oil, forest products, and industrial metals.
Accordingly, Korea's industrial sector and domestic economy are highly
sensitive to fluctuations in international commodity prices. In
addition, many of these commodities are traded in U.S. dollars and any
strength in the exchange rate between the won and the dollar can have
either a positive or negative effect upon corporate profits.

South Korea's location next to the heavily armed and unpredictable
North has been a constant cause of concern. Sundry military incidents
have continued to escalate the tensions that have existed between the
two countries since the signing of the 1953 Armistice Agreement that
ended the Korean War.

CHINA AND HONG KONG. As with all transition economies, China's ability
to develop and sustain a credible legal, regulatory, monetary, and
socioeconomic system could influence the course of outside investment.
Hong Kong is closely tied to China, economically and through China's
1997 acquisition of the country as a Special Autonomous Region (SAR).
Hong Kong's success depends, in large part, on its ability to retain
the legal, financial and monetary systems that allow economic freedom
and market expansion.

[The banking industry comprises a major segment of the Hong Kong and
Chinese market as a whole, as currently represented by the Hang Seng
Index. In recent years, Hong Kong has been subjected to speculative
attacks on its currency, which have sent interest rates soaring and
its stock markets into sharp declines. Companies in the banking
industry are particularly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations,
and, if the government continues its U.S. dollar peg policy, it risks
further attacks on its currency and possible upward pressure on
interest rates. While the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has implemented an
electronic order-matching system that has virtually eliminated front
running by brokers, there are still no specific regulations against
insider trading. Small, often family-run brokerages sometimes wield
undue influence or veto power over the largest overseas investment
banks operating in the market, and the Exchange has been criticized
for giving low priority to investor protection. The banking industry
in the Hong Kong and Chinese market has not been immune to economic
and currency turmoil that has periodically engulfed its Asian
neighbors, and any future disruptions in the Asian region could have a
derivative effect on this currency and interest rate sensitive
industry.]

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CANADA

POLITICAL. Canada's parliamentary system of government is, in general,
stable. However, from time to time, some provinces, but particularly
Quebec, have called for a revamping of the legal and financial
relationship between the federal government in Ottawa and the
provinces. To date, referendums on Quebec sovereignty have been
defeated, but the issue remains unresolved. The Supreme Court of
Canada decided in August 1998 that if there was a "clear answer" to a
"clear question" in a referendum, then the federal government would be
obliged to negotiate with Quebec.

ECONOMIC. Canada is a major producer of commodities such as forest
products, metals, agricultural products, and energy related products
like oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. Accordingly, changes in the
supply and demand of industrial and basic materials, both domestically
and internationally, can have a significant effect on Canadian market
performance.

In addition, Canada relies considerably on the health of the United
States' economy, its biggest trading partner and largest foreign
investor. The expanding economic and financial integration of the
United States and Canada will likely make the Canadian economy and
securities market increasingly sensitive to U.S. economic and market
events.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign currency
entails an additional risk that is not faced when investing in the
domestic market. Since Canada let its currency float in 1970, its
value has been in a steady decline against the U.S. dollar. While the
decline has helped Canada stay competitive in export markets, U.S.
investors have seen their investment returns eroded by the impact of
currency conversion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING EUROPE

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the
European Union (EU) fixed their currencies irrevocably to the euro,
the new unit of currency of the European Economic and Monetary Union
(EMU). At that time each member's currency was converted at a fixed
rate to the euro. Initially, use of the euro will be confined mainly
to the wholesale financial markets, while its widespread use in the
retail sector will follow the circulation of euro banknotes and coins
on January 1, 2002. At that time, the national banknotes and coins of
participating member countries will cease to be legal tender. In
addition to adopting a single currency, member countries will no
longer control their own monetary policies. Instead, the authority to
direct monetary policy will be exercised by the new European Central
Bank.

While economic and monetary convergence in the European Union may
offer new opportunities for those investing in the region, investors
should be aware that the success of the union is not wholly assured.
Europe must grapple with a number of challenges, any one of which
could threaten the survival of this monumental undertaking. Eleven
disparate economies must adjust to a unified monetary system, the
absence of exchange rate flexibility, and the loss of economic
sovereignty. The Continent's economies are diverse, its governments
decentralized, and its cultures differ widely. Unemployment is
historically high and could pose political risk. One or more member
countries might exit the union, placing the currency and banking
system in jeopardy.

POLITICAL. For those countries in Western and Eastern Europe that were
not included in the first round of the EU implementation, the
prospects for eventual membership serve as a strong political impetus
for many governments to employ tight fiscal and monetary policies.
Particularly for the Eastern European countries, aspirations to join
the EU are likely to push governments to act decisively.

At the same time, there could become an increasingly widening gap
between rich and poor within the aspiring countries, those countries
who are close to meeting membership criteria, and those who are not
likely to join the EMU. Realigning traditional alliances could alter
trading relationships and potentially provoke divisive socioeconomic
splits. Despite relative calm in Western Europe in recent years, the
risk of regional conflict or targeted terrorist activity could disrupt
European markets.

In the transition to the single economic system, significant political
decisions will be made which will effect the market regulation,
subsidization, and privatization across all industries, from
agricultural products to telecommunications.

ECONOMIC. As economic conditions across member states vary from robust
to dismal, there is continued concern about national-level support for
the currency and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage
policy among the eleven EMU member nations. According to the
Maastricht treaty, member countries must maintain inflation below
3.3%, public debt below 60% of GDP, and a deficit of 3% or less of GDP
to qualify for participation in the euro. These requirements severely
limit member countries' ability to implement monetary policy to
address regional economic conditions. Countries that did not qualify
for the euro, such as Greece, risk being left farther behind.

FOREIGN TRADE. The EU has recently been involved in a number of trade
disputes with major trading partners, including the United States.
Tariffs and embargoes have been levied upon imports of agricultural
products and meat that have resulted in the affected nation levying
retaliatory tariffs upon imports from Europe. These disputes can
adversely affect the valuations of the European companies that export
the targeted products.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign currency
entails an additional risk that is not faced when investing in the
domestic market. However, investing in euro-denominated securities
entails risk of being exposed to a new currency that may not fully
reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the disparate economies that
make up the Union. This has been the case in the first six months of
1999, when the initial exchange rates of the euro versus many of the
world's major currencies steadily declined. In this environment, U.S.
and other foreign investors experienced erosion of their investment
returns in the region. In addition, many European countries rely
heavily upon export dependent businesses and any strength in the
exchange rate between the euro and the dollar can have either a
positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

GERMANY. The German economy is heavily industrialized, with a strong
emphasis on manufacturing and exports. Therefore, Germany's economic
growth is heavily dependent on the prosperity of its trading partners
and on currency exchange rates. Germany is closely tied to a number of
Eastern European emerging market economies and weakness in these
economies will likely dampen demand for German exports. Germany
continues to struggle with its incorporation of former East Germany
and the country as a whole faces high labor costs and high
unemployment.

FRANCE. In recent years, the country's economic growth has been hit by
a series of general strikes. France's strong labor unions reacted
negatively to government cuts driven by the country's effort to meet
EMU membership criteria. Recently, unions have demanded a lower
retirement age and a shorter work week. Economic growth also is
limited by the country's pay-as-you-go pension system; spending on
pensions accounts for about 10% of GDP.

NORDIC COUNTRIES. Faced with stronger global competition, the Nordic
countries-Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden-have had to scale down
their historically generous welfare programs, resulting in drops in
domestic demand and increased unemployment. Major industries in the
region, such as forestry, agriculture, and oil, are heavily resource
dependent and face pressure as a result of high labor costs. Pension
reform, union regulation, and further cuts in liberal social programs
will likely need to be addressed as the Nordic countries face
increased international competition.

UNITED KINGDOM. The United Kingdom continues to be overtly less
enthusiastic about EMU than other countries in Europe and has not
committed itself to joining the euro. While the UK views independence
from the EMU as a competitive advantage, the country may not benefit
from its independence if economic conditions on the continent improve.
If the continental European stock markets make more compelling
prospects for economic growth, there is concern that the UK market may
lag its European counterparts.

EASTERN EUROPE. Investing in the securities of Eastern European
issuers is highly speculative and involves risks not usually
associated with investing in the more developed markets of Western
Europe.

The economies of the Eastern European nations are embarking on the
transition from communism at different paces with appropriately
different characteristics. Most Eastern European markets suffer from
thin trading activity, dubious investor protections, and often, a
dearth of reliable corporate information. Information and transaction
costs, differential taxes, and sometimes political or transfer risk
give a comparative advantage to the domestic investor rather than the
foreign investor. In addition, these markets are particularly
sensitive to political, economic, and currency events in Russia and
have recently suffered heavy losses as a result of their trading and
investment links to the troubled Russian economy and currency.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING JAPAN

Fueled by public investment, protectionist trade policies, and
innovative management styles, the Japanese economy has transformed
itself since World War II into the world's second largest economy.
Despite its impressive history, investors face special risks when
investing in Japan.

ECONOMIC. Since Japan's bubble economy collapsed eight years ago, the
nation has drifted between modest growth and recession. By mid-year
1998, the world's second largest economy had slipped into its deepest
recession since World War II. Much of the blame can be placed on
government inaction in implementing long-neglected structural reforms
despite strong and persistent prodding from the International Monetary
Fund and the G7 member nations. Steps have been taken to deregulate
and liberalize protected areas of the economy, but the pace of change
has been disappointedly slow.

The most pressing need for action is the daunting task of overhauling
the nation's financial institutions and securing public support for
taxpayer-funded bailouts. Banks, in particular, must dispose of their
huge overhang of bad loans and trim their balance sheets in
preparation for greater competition from foreign institutions as more
areas of the financial sector are opened. Successful financial sector
reform would allow Japan's financial institutions to act as a catalyst
for economic recovery at home and across the troubled Asian region.

FOREIGN TRADE. Much of Japan's economy is dependent upon international
trade. The country is a leading exporter of automobiles and industrial
machinery as well as industrial and consumer electronics. While the
United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, close to half
of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of
which are in Southeast Asia. For the past two years, Southeast Asia's
economies have been mired in economic stagnation causing a steep
decline in Japan's exports to the area. Japan's hope for economic
recovery and renewed export growth is largely dependent upon the pace
of economic recovery in Southeast Asia.

NATURAL RESOURCE DEPENDENCY. An island nation with limited natural
resources, Japan is also heavily dependent upon imports of essential
products such as oil, forest products, and industrial metals.
Accordingly, Japan's industrial sector and domestic economy are highly
sensitive to fluctuations in international commodity prices. In
addition, many of these commodities are traded in U.S. dollars and any
strength in the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar can have
either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The Japanese islands have been subjected to
periodic natural disasters including earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal
waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic
disruption upon the nation's populace and industries.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING LATIN AMERICA

As an emerging market, Latin America has long suffered from political,
economic, and social instability. For investors, this has meant
additional risk caused by periods of regional conflict, political
corruption, totalitarianism, protectionist measures, nationalization,
hyperinflation, debt crises, and currency devaluation. However, much
has changed in the past decade. Democracy is beginning to become well
established in some countries. A move to a more mature and accountable
political environment is well under way. Domestic economies have been
deregulated and have enjoyed sound levels of growth. Privatization of
state-owned companies is almost completed. Foreign trade restrictions
have been relaxed. Large fiscal deficits have been reduced and
inflation controlled. Nonetheless, the volatile stock markets of 1998
have clearly demonstrated that investors in the region continue to
face a number of potential risks.

POLITICAL. While investors recently have benefited from friendlier
forms of government, the Latin American political climate is still
vulnerable to sudden changes. Many countries in the region have been
in recession and have faced high unemployment. Corruption remains part
of the political landscape. This could lead to social unrest and
changes in governments that are less favorable to investors. The
investor friendly trends of social, economic, and market reforms seen
over the past several years could be reversed. Also, as has
historically been the case, the stock markets may be subject to
increased volatility as some countries approach elections: Argentina,
Chile, Mexico, and Peru.

SOCIAL UNREST. Latin America continues to suffer from one of the most
inequitable distributions of wealth in the world, as well as rampant
delinquency and street crime. The recent reforms and the move to
democracy, which were initially welcomed by the population, so far
have failed to significantly improve the living conditions of the
majority of people. This could lead to social unrest, occasional labor
strikes, rebellion, or civil war.

ECONOMIC. Many countries in the region have experienced periods of
hyperinflation which adversely impacted and may continue to impact
their economies and local stock markets. Despite signs that inflation
has been tamed, the risk of hyperinflation persists.

FOREIGN TRADE. One key to the recent economic growth in the region has
been the reduction of trade barriers and a series of free-trade
agreements. These are currently under pressure given the recent
macro-economic imbalances between many trading partners. One example
would be Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and
Paraguay. As long as the economies perform well and the regimes
maintain similar economic and currency policies, all will benefit from
this agreement. However, the recent devaluation of Brazil's currency,
combined with recessions in the region, has created tension between
the largest trading partners, Brazil and Argentina. This could
threaten the pace of vital trade integration and regional economic
stability.

CURRENCY. For U.S. investors, investing in any foreign market entails
the risk of currency fluctuations; any weakness in the local currency
could erode the investment returns to U.S. investors upon currency
conversion. As is typical of emerging markets, Latin America has a
long history of currency devaluation, evidenced by the Mexican peso
crisis and the more recent Brazilian devaluation. The region remains
exposed to currency speculators, particularly if the economic or
political conditions worsen. Countries where the currency is
artificially pegged to the dollar are most at risk. For example,
predatory speculation may shift to Argentina if the cost of
maintaining the currency board reaches an unsustainable level given
the negative impact of the Brazilian devaluation, the economic
recession, the deterioration of the foreign trade balances, and the
mounting fiscal deficit.

SOVEREIGN DEBT. Although austerity programs in many countries have
significantly reduced fiscal deficits, the region is still facing
significant debt. Interest on the debt is subject to market conditions
and may reach levels that would impair economic activity and create a
difficult and costly environment for borrowers. In addition,
governments may be forced to reschedule or freeze their debt
repayment, which could negatively impact the stock market.

NATURAL RESOURCES DEPENDENCY. Commodities such as agricultural
products, minerals, and metals account for a significant percentage of
exports of many Latin American countries. As a result, these economies
have been particularly sensitive to the fluctuation of commodity
prices. As an example, Chile has been affected by the change in the
prices of copper and pulp, which has adversely affected its economy
and stock market. Similarly, because the U.S. is Mexico's largest
trading partner - accounting for more than four-fifths of its exports
- - any economic downturn in the U.S. economy could adversely impact the
Mexican economy and stock market.

NATURAL DISASTERS. The region has been subjected to periodic natural
disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. These events have often
inflicted substantial damage upon the populations and the economy.
More recently, weather disorders attributed to the "El Nino" effect
have placed a serious drag on the economy of some countries, such as
Peru and Ecuador.

FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS. As is typical of many emerging markets,
many companies in the region are still controlled by families and
their associates. Accordingly, these owners may not always act in the
best interests of public shareholders. In addition, rules for
disclosing financial information are less stringent, which increases
the difficulty of accessing reliable and viable information.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING RUSSIA

Investing in Russian securities is highly speculative and involves
greater risks than generally encountered when investing in the
securities markets of the U.S. and most other developed countries.
Over the past century, Russia has experienced political and economic
turbulence and has endured decades of communist rule under which tens
of millions of its citizens were collectivized into state agricultural
and industrial enterprises. For most of the past decade, Russia's
government has been faced with the daunting task of stabilizing its
domestic economy, while transforming it into a modern and efficient
structure able to compete in international markets and respond to the
needs of its citizens. However, to date, many of the country's
economic reform initiatives have floundered as the proceeds of IMF and
other economic assistance have been squandered or stolen. In this
environment, there is always the risk that the nation's government
will abandon the current program of economic reform and replace it
with radically different political and economic policies that would be
detrimental to the interests of foreign investors. This could entail a
return to a centrally planned economy and nationalization of private
enterprises similar to what existed under the old Soviet Union. As
recently as 1998, the government imposed a moratorium on the repayment
of its international debt and the restructuring of the repayment
terms.

Foreign investors also face a high degree of currency risk when
investing in Russian securities. In a surprise move in August 1998,
Russia devalued the ruble, defaulted on short-term domestic bonds, and
declared a moratorium on commercial debt payments. In light of these
and other recent government actions, foreign investors face the
possibility of further devaluations. In addition, there is the risk
the government may impose capital controls on foreign portfolio
investments in the event of extreme financial or political crisis.
Such capital controls would prevent the sale of a portfolio of foreign
assets and the repatriation of proceeds.

Many of Russia's businesses have failed to mobilize the available
factors of production because the country's privatization program
virtually ensured the predominance of the old management teams that
are largely non-market-oriented in their management approach. A
combination of poor accounting standards, inept management, endemic
corruption, and limited shareholder rights pose a significant risk,
particularly to foreign investors.

Compared to most national stock markets, the Russian securities market
suffers from a variety of problems not encountered in more developed
markets. Among these are thin trading activity, inadequate regulatory
protection for the rights of investors, and lax custody procedures.
Additionally, there is a dearth of solid corporate information
available to investors.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent upon the export of a range of
commodities including most industrial metals, forestry products, oil,
and gas. Accordingly, it is strongly affected by international
commodity prices and is particularly vulnerable to any weakening in
global demand for these products.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING AFRICA

Africa is a highly diverse and politically unstable continent of over
50 countries and 840 million people. Civil wars, coups, and even
genocidal warfare have beset much of this region in recent years.
Nevertheless, the continent is home to an abundance of natural
resources, including natural gas, aluminum, crude oil, copper, iron,
bauxite, cotton, diamonds, and timber. Wealthier African countries
generally have strong connections to European partners; evidence of
these relationships is seen in the growing market capitalization and
foreign investment. Economic performance remains closely tied to world
commodity markets, particularly oil, as well as agricultural
conditions, such as drought.

Several Northern African countries have substantial oil reserves and,
accordingly, their economies react strongly to world oil prices. They
share a regional and sometimes religious identification with the oil
producing nations of the Middle East and can be strongly affected by
political and economic developments in those countries. As in the
south, weather conditions have a strong impact on many of their
natural resources, as was the case in 1995, when severe drought
adversely affected economic growth.

Several African countries have active equity markets, many established
since 1989. The oldest market, in Egypt, was established in 1883,
while the youngest, in Zambia, was established in 1994. The mean age
for all equity markets is 40 years old. A total of 1,830 firms are
listed on the respective exchanges. With the exception of the
relatively large and liquid South African stock market, sub-Saharan
Africa is probably the riskiest of all the world's emerging markets.

During the past two decades, sub-Saharan Africa has lagged behind
other developing regions in economic growth. The area attracts only a
modest share of foreign direct investment and remains highly dependent
on foreign aid. The financial markets are small and underdeveloped and
offer little regulatory protection for investors. Except for South
Africa, the most fundamental problem in all of the countries in the
region is the absence of an effective court system to ensure the
enforceability of contracts. Investors in the area generally face a
high risk of continuing political and economic instability as well as
currency exchange rate volatility.

SOUTH AFRICA. South Africa has a highly developed and industrialized
economy. It is rich in mineral resources and is the world's largest
producer and exporter of gold. The nation's new government has made
remarkable progress in consolidating the nation's peaceful transition
to democracy and in redressing the socioeconomic disparities created
by apartheid. It has a sophisticated financial structure with a large
and active stock exchange that ranks 19th in the world in terms of
market capitalization. Nevertheless, investors in South Africa face a
number of risks common to other developing regions. The nation's heavy
dependence upon the export of natural resources makes its economy and
stock market vulnerable to weak global demand and declines in
commodity prices. The country's currency reserves have been a constant
problem and its currency can be vulnerable to devaluation. There is
also the risk that ethnic and civic conflict could result in the
abandonment of many of the nation's free market reforms to the
detriment of shareholders.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and investment
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors,
including, but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction;
the nature and character of the markets for the security to be
purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability,
and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's
execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness
of any commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of
fund expenses.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other
investment accounts over which FMR or its affiliates exercise
investment discretion. Such services may include advice concerning the
value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or
selling securities; and the availability of securities or the
purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such broker-dealers
may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and
performance of investment accounts; and effect securities transactions
and perform functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and
settlement).

The selection of such broker-dealers for transactions in equity
securities is generally made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent
with execution considerations) in accordance with a ranking of
broker-dealers determined periodically by FMR's investment staff based
upon the quality of research and execution services provided.

For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.

The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.

Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.

Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, the
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause the fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund
or its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation
should be related to those services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, FMR is authorized to
allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account
assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or
other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and
other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may use research
services provided by and place agency transactions with National
Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity Brokerage Services
Japan LLC (FBSJ), indirect subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if the
commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions
charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar
services. Prior to December 9, 1997, FMR used research services
provided by and placed agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage
Services (FBS), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers (including
affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under
which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by
a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.

Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for investment accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless
certain requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the
Board of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio
transactions on national securities exchanges in accordance with
approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.

The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of
shareholder purchase and redemption orders or market conditions.

ON JUNE 30, 2000, THE CLOSED-END FUND WAS REORGANIZED AS AN OPEN-END
FUND THROUGH A TRANSFER OF ALL OF ITS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES TO THE
FUND. SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CLOSED-END FUND RECEIVED CLASS A SHARES OF
THE FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR SHARES OF THE CLOSED-END FUND.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS PAID BY THE CLOSED-END
FUND AND THOSE PAID BY ADVISOR KOREA MAY RESULT FROM ITS
REORGANIZATION AS AN OPEN-END FUND, WHICH MUST CONTINUOUSLY MEET
REDEMPTIONS.

[For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the
fund paid brokerage commissions of $________, $_________, and
$________, respectively. Significant changes in brokerage commissions
paid by the CLOSED-END FUND from year to year may have resulted from
changing asset levels throughout the year. The Closed-End Fund may
have paid both commissions and spreads in connection with the
placement of portfolio transactions. [For the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Closed-End Fund paid no
brokerage commissions.]

[During the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the
Closed-End Fund paid brokerage commissions of $_______, $_______, and
$_______, respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis.
[During the fiscal year ended [month] [day], [year], this amounted to
approximately __% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the
fund for transactions involving approximately __% of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage
commissions. [The difference between the percentage of aggregate
brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFSC is a result of
the low commission rates charged by NFSC.] [NFSC has used a portion of
the commissions paid by the fund to reduce that fund's custodian or
transfer agent fees.]

[During the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the
Closed-End Fund paid brokerage commissions of $_____, $_____, and
$_____, respectively, to FBS. FBS is paid on a commission basis.
[During the fiscal year ended [month] [day], [year], this amounted to
approximately __% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the
fund for transactions involving approximately __% of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage
commissions. [ The difference between the percentage of aggregate
brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions effected through, FBS is a result of the
low commission rates charged by FBS.] [FBS has used a portion of the
commissions paid by the fund to reduce that fund's custodian or
transfer agent fees.]

[During the fiscal years ended September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the
Closed-End Fund paid brokerage commissions of $_____, $_____, and
$_____, respectively, to FBSJ. FBSJ is paid on a commission basis.
[During the fiscal year ended [month] [day], [year], this amounted to
approximately __% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the
fund for transactions involving approximately __% of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage
commissions. [The difference between the percentage of aggregate
brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions effected through, FBSJ is a result of
the low commission rates charged by FBSJ.][FBSJ has used a portion of
the commissions paid by the fund to reduce that fund's custodian or
transfer agent fees.]

[During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the Closed-End Fund
paid $__ in brokerage commissions to firms that provided research
services involving approximately $__ of transactions. The provision of
research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all
this business with such firms.] [During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999, the Closed-End Fund paid no brokerage commissions
to firms that provided research services.]

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with
Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities
that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR
participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the fund could purchase in the underwriting.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
the fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of
other funds managed by FMR or investment accounts managed by FMR or
its affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is held in
the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and
investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment
objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

Each class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. The NAV of each class is computed by adding the class's pro
rata share of the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other
assets, subtracting the class's pro rata share of the fund's
liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to the class, and
dividing the result by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the
primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities
for which the primary market is the United States are valued at last
sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most
equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United
States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale
price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last
sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated
quote or closing bid price normally is used. Securities of other
open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Fixed-income securities and other assets for which market quotations
are readily available may be valued at market values determined by
such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets. Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may be
valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that
uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of
pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing
services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign
securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company (FSC)
gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the
last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value
of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars.
Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate
fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of
NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a
portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on
which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in
good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing
service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value
of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more
accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example,
securities and other assets for which there is no readily available
market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the
value of a security, the committee may review price movements in
futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask
quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

A class may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. Each class's share price and
return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors,
and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than
their original cost.

THE CLOSED-END FUND HAD THE SAME INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR INVESTMENT POLICIES AS THE FUND, ON JUNE 30,
2000, THE CLOSED-END FUND WAS REORGANIZED AS AN OPEN-END FUND THROUGH
A TRANSFER OF ALL OF ITS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES TO THE FUND.
SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CLOSED-END FUND RECEIVED CLASS A SHARES OF THE
FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR SHARES OF THE CLOSED-END FUND.

THE RETURNS PRESENTED BELOW DO NOT REFLECT CLASS A, CLASS T, CLASS B,
CLASS C, AND INSTITUTIONAL CLASS TOTAL EXPENSES. IF THE EFFECT OF
CLASS A, CLASS T, CLASS B, CLASS C, AND INSTITUTIONAL CLASS TOTAL
EXPENSES WERE REFLECTED, RETURNS MAY BE LOWER THAN THOSE SHOWN BECAUSE
CLASS A, CLASS T, CLASS B, CLASS C, AND INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES OF
THE FUND MAY HAVE HIGHER TOTAL EXPENSES THAN THE CLOSED-END FUND.

RETURN CALCULATIONS. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects
of a class's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends and
capital gain distributions, and any change in a class's NAV over a
stated period. A class's return may be calculated by using the
performance data of a previously existing class prior to the date that
the new class commenced operations, adjusted to reflect differences in
sales charges but not 12b-1 fees. A cumulative return reflects actual
performance over a stated period of time. Average annual returns are
calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a
hypothetical historical investment in a class over a stated period,
and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that
would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline
in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative
return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return
of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal
100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual
returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives,
investors should realize that a class's performance is not constant
over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of a class.

In addition to average annual returns, a class may quote unaveraged or
cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns
may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a
series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken
down into their components of income and capital (including capital
gains and changes in share price) in order to illustrate the
relationship of these factors and their contributions to return.
Returns may be quoted on a before-tax or after-tax basis. Returns may
or may not include the effect of a class's maximum sales charge or the
effect of the fund's trading fee ON CERTAIN CLASS A SHARES HELD LESS
THAN 200 DAYS AFTER JUNE 30, 2000. Excluding a class's sales charge
AND TRADING FEE from a return calculation produces a higher return
figure. Returns and other performance information may be quoted
numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.

NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using a class's NAVs, adjusted
NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An
adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects
all elements of a class's return. Unless otherwise indicated, a
class's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

MOVING AVERAGES. An equity fund may illustrate performance using
moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each
week's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term
moving average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a
specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted
closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving
averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an
NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. The
13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages for THE CLOSED-END FUND
are shown in the table below.

FUND).

ARETURNS ARE THOSE OF THE CLOSED-END FUND, WHICH HAD NO 12B-1 FEE.

The following tables show the income and capital elements of each
class's cumulative return. The tables compare each class's return to
the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living, as measured by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA
comparisons are provided to show how each class's return compared to
the record of a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks
and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies,
respectively, over the same period. The fund has the ability to invest
in securities not included in either index, and its investment
portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to the indexes. The
S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups
of stocks and, unlike each class's returns, do not include the effect
of brokerage commissions or other costs of investing.

The following tables show the growth in value of a hypothetical
$10,000 investment in each class of Advisor Korea during the period
from October 31, 1994 (commencement of operations OF THE CLOSED-END
FUND) to March 31, 2000, assuming all distributions were reinvested.
Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future
performance. Tax consequences of different investments (with the
exception of foreign tax withholdings) have not been factored into the
figures below.

During the period from October 31, 1994 (commencement of operations OF
THE CLOSED-END FUND) to September 30, 1999, a hypothetical $10,000
investment in Class A of Advisor Korea would have grown to $______,
including the effect of Class A's maximum sales charge.

INTERNATIONAL INDEXES, MARKET CAPITALIZATION, AND NATIONAL
STOCK MARKET RETURN

The following tables show the total market capitalization of certain
countries according to the Morgan Stanley Capital International
indexes database, the total market capitalization of Latin American
countries according to the International Finance Corporation Emerging
Markets database, and the performance of national stock markets as
measured in U.S. dollars by the Morgan Stanley Capital International
stock market indexes for the twelve months ended March 31, 2000. Of
course, these results are not indicative of future stock market
performance or the funds' performance. Market conditions during the
periods measured fluctuated widely. Brokerage commissions and other
fees are not factored into the values of the indexes.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION. Companies outside the United States now make up
nearly two-thirds of the world's stock market capitalization.
According to Morgan Stanley Capital International, the size of the
markets as measured in U.S. dollars grew from $____ billion in 19__ to

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A class's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Inc. (Lipper), an
independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on
return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales
charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared without
regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a
class's performance may be compared to stock, bond, and money market
mutual fund performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other
organizations. When comparing these indexes, it is important to
remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of
investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability
of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, a class's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, a class may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising.

A class's performance may also be compared to that of the index
representing the universe of securities in which the fund may invest.
The return of the index reflects reinvestment of all dividends and
capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike a
class's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage
commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in
the securities included in the index.

[Advisor Korea may compare its performance to that of the KOREA STOCK
EXCHANGE COMPOSITE PRICE INDEX . . .]

A class may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository
institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several
respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee your principal
or your return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the
same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to
that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made
available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; model portfolios or allocations; and saving for
college or other goals. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals, as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products.

The fund may be advertised as part of certain asset allocation
programs involving other Fidelity or non-Fidelity mutual funds. These
asset allocation programs may advertise a model portfolio and its
performance results.

The fund may be advertised as part of a no transaction fee (NTF)
program in which Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds are offered.
An NTF program may advertise performance results.

A class may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote the fund's current portfolio
manager.

VOLATILITY. A class may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the class may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare a class's historical share price fluctuations or
returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation
indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical
data.

MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate a class's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents a
class's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.

The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or
other programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes,
which may produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a
$1,000 investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have
an after-tax value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was
deducted from the return each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent
tax-deferred investment would have an after-tax value of $2,100 after
ten years, assuming tax was deducted at a 31% rate from the
tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year period.

As of March 31, 2000, FMR advised over $__ billion in municipal fund
assets, $__ billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $__ billion
in money market fund assets, $___ billion in equity fund assets, $__
billion in international fund assets, and $___ billion in
Spartan(registered trademark) fund assets. The fund may reference the
growth and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's
innovation and participation in the industry. The equity funds under
management figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets
under management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United
States, making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR,
its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and
communications network for the purpose of researching and managing
investments abroad.

professionals will be compensated with a fee at the rate of 0.25% of
the purchase amount. Except as provided below, Class A eligible
purchases are the following purchases made through broker-dealers and
banks: an individual trade of $25 million or more; an individual trade
of $1 million or more that is load waived; a trade which brings the
value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor (including an
employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering
self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R.
10 plan)) or 403(b) program) past $25 million; a load waived trade
that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor
(including an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a
plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly
a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)) or 403(b) program) past $1 million; a trade for
an investor with an accumulated account value of $25 million or more;

more; a trade which brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of

Shares held by an insurance company separate account will be
aggregated at the client (e.g., the contract holder or plan sponsor)
level, not at the separate account level. Upon request, anyone
claiming eligibility for the 0.25% fee with respect to shares held by
an insurance company separate account must provide FDC access to
records detailing purchases at the client level.

For the purpose of determining the availability of Class A or Class T
finder's fees, purchases of Class A or Class T shares made (i) with
the proceeds from the redemption of shares of any Fidelity fund or
(ii) by the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, will not be
considered "eligible purchases."

Except as provided below, any assets on which a finder's fee has been
paid will bear a contingent deferred sales charge (Class A or Class T
CDSC) if they do not remain in Class A or Class T shares of the
Fidelity Advisor Funds, or Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund,
Prime Fund or Tax-Exempt Fund, for a period of at least one
uninterrupted year. The Class A or Class T CDSC will be 0.25% of the
lesser of the cost of the Class A or Class T shares, as applicable, at
the initial date of purchase or the value of those Class A or Class T
shares, as applicable, at redemption, not including any reinvested
dividends or capital gains. Class A and Class T shares acquired
through distributions (dividends or capital gains) will not be subject
to a Class A or Class T CDSC. In determining the applicability and
rate of any Class A or Class T CDSC at redemption, Class A or Class T
shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be
redeemed first, followed by those Class A or Class T shares that have
been held for the longest period of time.

Investment professionals must notify FDC in advance of a purchase
eligible for a finder's fee, and may be required to enter into an
agreement with FDC in order to receive the finder's fee.

The Class A or Class T CDSC will not apply to the redemption of
shares:

1. Held by insurance company separate accounts;

3. For disability, payment of death benefits, or minimum required
distributions starting at age 70 1/2 from Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs,
SIMPLE IRAs, SEPs, SARSEPS and plans covering a sole proprietor or
self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10
plans).

A waiver form must accompany these transactions.

CLASS A AND CLASS T SHARES ONLY

COMBINED PURCHASE, RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION AND LETTER OF INTENT
PROGRAMS. The following qualify as an "individual" or "company" for
the purposes of determining eligibility for the Combined Purchase,
Rights of Accumulation or Letter of Intent program: an individual,
spouse and their children under age 21 purchasing for his/her or their
own account; a trustee, administrator or other fiduciary purchasing
for a single trust estate or a single fiduciary account or for a
single or parent-subsidiary group of "employee benefit plans" (except
SEP and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and
their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans)) and 403(b) programs;
and tax-exempt organizations (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code).

COMBINED PURCHASE. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose
of qualifying for the Combined Purchase program, they must be made on
the same day through one investment professional.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. The current value of your holdings is
determined at the NAV at the close of business on the day you purchase
the Class A or Class T shares to which the current value of your
holdings will be added. For your purchases and holdings to be
aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of
Accumulation program, they must have been made through one investment
professional.

LETTER OF INTENT. You must file your Letter of Intent (Letter) with
Fidelity within 90 days of the start of your purchases toward
completing your Letter. For your purchases to be aggregated for the
purpose of completing your Letter, they must be made through one
investment professional. Your initial purchase toward completing your
Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your
Letter. Class A and Class T shares acquired through an employee
benefit plan, a Traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, a rollover IRA, a 403(b)
program, or a plan covering a sole proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10
plan) will be included for purposes of completing your Letter but may
not be used to meet the initial investment minimum of 5% of the total
investment specified in your Letter. Fidelity will register Class A or
Class T shares equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your
Letter in your name and will hold those shares in escrow. You will
earn income, dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed
Class A and Class T shares. The escrow will be released when you
complete your Letter. You are not obligated to complete your Letter.
If you do not complete your Letter, you must pay the increased
front-end sales charges due. If you do not pay the increased front-end
sales charges within 20 days after the date your Letter expires,
Fidelity will redeem sufficient escrowed Class A or Class T shares to
pay any applicable front-end sales charges. If you purchase more than
the amount specified in your Letter and qualify for additional Class A
or Class T front-end sales charge reductions, the front-end sales
charge will be adjusted to reflect your total purchase at the end of
13 months and the surplus amount will be applied to your purchase of
additional Class A or Class T shares at the then-current offering
price applicable to the total investment.

ALL CLASSES

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily
marketable securities or other property, valued for this purpose as
they are valued in computing the fund's NAV, if FMR determines it is
in the best interests of the fund. Shareholders that receive
securities or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss
for tax purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the
associated inconveniences.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS. Because the fund invests significantly in foreign
securities, corporate shareholders should not expect fund dividends to
qualify for the dividends-received deduction. Short-term capital gains
are taxable as dividends, but do not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction.

CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund's long-term capital gain
distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as
capital gains.

RETURNS OF CAPITAL. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable
income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a
portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be
recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of
capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce
each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher
reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares
on which the distribution was received are sold.

FOREIGN TAX CREDIT OR DEDUCTION. Foreign governments may withhold
taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with respect to
foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other
payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. If, at the close
of its fiscal year, more than 50% of the fund's total assets is
invested in securities of foreign issuers, the fund may elect to pass
through eligible foreign taxes paid and thereby allow shareholders to
take a deduction or, if they meet certain holding period requirements
with respect to fund shares, a credit on their individual tax returns.

TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income
and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as
a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal
income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies.

OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine
whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or
loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income
taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund
distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal
property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to
determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of
the trust are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and
is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The
Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout
the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual
arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, and

+ Estimated

A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred,
and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the
calendar year ended December 31, 1999, the Trustees accrued required
deferred compensation from the funds as follows: Ralph F. Cox,
$75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates, $75,000; E.
Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk, $75,000; William O. McCoy,
$75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L. Mann, $75,000; and
Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the non-interested Trustees
elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as
follows: Ralph F. Cox, $53,735; William O. McCoy, $53,735; and Thomas
R. Williams, $62,319.

[B Compensation figures include cash, and may include amounts required
to be deferred and amounts deferred at the election of Trustees.]

[C The following amounts are required to be deferred by each
non-interested Trustee: Ralph F. Cox, $__; Phyllis Burke Davis, $__;
Robert M. Gates, $__; E. Bradley Jones, $__; Donald J. Kirk, $__;
William O. McCoy, $__; Gerald C. McDonough, $__; Marvin L. Mann, $__;
and Thomas R. Williams, $__.]

[D Certain of the non-interested Trustees' aggregate compensation from
the fund includes accrued voluntary deferred compensation as follows:
[trustee name, dollar amount of deferred compensation, fund name];
[trustee name, dollar amount of deferred compensation, fund name]; and
[trustee name, dollar amount of deferred compensation, fund name].]

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.

[As of _________, approximately __% of the fund's total outstanding
shares was held by [FMR] [[and] [an] FMR affiliate[s]]. FMR Corp. is
the ultimate parent company of [FMR] [[and] [this/these] FMR
affiliate[s]]. By virtue of their ownership interest in FMR Corp., as
described in the "Control of Investment Advisers" section on page ___,
Mr. Edward C. Johnson 3d, President and Trustee of the fund, and Ms.
Abigail P. Johnson, Member of the Advisory Board of the fund, may be
deemed to be a beneficial owner of these shares. As of the above date,
with the exception of Mr. Johnson 3d's and Ms. Johnson's deemed
ownership of the fund's shares, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory
Board, and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than __%
of the fund's total outstanding shares.]

5% or more (up to and including 25%) of [[Class Name(s)]/each class]'s
outstanding shares:]

[As of _____________, approximately ____% of the fund's total
outstanding shares were held by __________.]

[A shareholder owning of record or beneficially more than 25% of a
fund's outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That
shareholder's vote could have a more significant effect on matters
presented at a shareholders' meeting than votes of other
shareholders.]

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR,
Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity
Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc.
(FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual
or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in
1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International
Investment Advisors (FIIA), Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ)
and Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited
(FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and
various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or
indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. FIL
provides investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies
and institutional investors investing in securities throughout the
world.

The fund, FMR, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L,
and FDC have adopted a code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act
that sets forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the
fund, establishes procedures for personal investing, and restricts
certain transactions. Employees subject to the code of ethics,
including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for
their own investment accounts, including securities that may be
purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to
which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and
investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the
registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.

MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the
costs associated with securities lending , as applicable, the fund or
each class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its expenses that are
not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting,
printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal
expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested
Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the
fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses,
statements of additional information, notices, and reports to
shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent
agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of providing these
services to existing shareholders of the applicable classes. Other
expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and
Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares
under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state
securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the
fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

MANAGEMENT FEE. For the services of FMR under the management contract,
the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a
group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $___ billion of group net assets - the approximate level for
April 30, 2000 - was __%, which is the weighted average of the
respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $__
billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.55% . Based on the average
group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for _______ 2000, the
fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

</TABLE>

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's
average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the
fee for that month.

For the fiscal years ended ________, 199_, 199_, and 199_, the fund
paid FMR management fees of $_________, $____________, and
$__________, respectively.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
a class's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain
securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses) [, which [ , in the case of certain classes,] is subject to
revision or discontinuance]. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for
these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below
the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a class's returns, and
repayment of the reimbursement by a class will lower its returns.

SUB-ADVISERS. On January 1, 2001, FMR will enter into a sub-advisory
agreement with FMRC on behalf of the fund pursuant to which FMRC may
provide investment research and advice and may also provide investment
advisory services for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for the fund, FMR will
pay FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR with
respect to that portion of the fund's assets that will be managed by
FMRC. The fees paid to FMRC will not be reduced by any voluntary or
mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to
time.

On behalf of Advisor Korea, FMR has entered into sub-advisory
agreements with FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ, and FIIA. FIIA, in turn,
has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant
to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers
investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States
and on behalf of Advisor Korea, FMR may grant the sub-advisers
investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and
sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.

On behalf of the fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory
agreement with FIJ pursuant to which FMR Far East may receive from FIJ
investment research and advice relating to Japanese issuers (and such
other Asian issuers as FMR Far East may designate).

For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research
services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs
incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research
services.

(small solid bullet) FMR pays FIIA and FIJ fees equal to 30% of FMR's

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement
calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are
continuously offered. Promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of
Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class of the
fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule).
The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage
directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily
intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant
to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as
approved by the Trustees, allow Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and
Institutional Class and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be
considered to constitute direct or indirect payment by the fund of
distribution expenses.

Pursuant to the Class A Plan for the fund, FDC is paid a monthly 12b-1
fee at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of Class A's average net assets
determined at the close of business on each day throughout the month.
Currently, the Trustees have approved a monthly 12b-1 fee for Class A
of Advisor Korea at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets.
This fee rate may be increased only when, in the opinion of the
Trustees, it is in the best interests of the shareholders of the
applicable class to do so.

Currently, FDC may reallow to intermediaries (such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service-providers), including its affiliates,
up to the full amount of 12b-1 fees paid by Class A for providing
services intended to result in the sale of Class A shares and/or
shareholder support services.

Pursuant to the Class T Plan for the fund, FDC is paid a monthly 12b-1
fee at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of Class T's average net assets
determined at the close of business on each day throughout the month.
Currently, the Trustees have approved a monthly 12b-1 fee for Class T
of Advisor Korea at an annual rate of 0.50% of its average net
assets. This fee rate may be increased only when, in the opinion of
the Trustees, it is in the best interests of the shareholders of the
applicable class to do so.

Currently, FDC may reallow to intermediaries (such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service-providers), including its affiliates,
up to the full amount of 12b-1 fees paid by Class T for providing
services intended to result in the sale of Class T shares and/or
shareholder support services.

Pursuant to the Class B Plan for the fund, FDC is paid a monthly 12b-1
(distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of Class B's average net
assets determined at the close of business on each day throughout the
month.

Pursuant to the Class B Plan for the fund, FDC is also paid a monthly
12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class B's average
net assets determined at the close of business on each day throughout
the month.

Currently, FDC retains the full amount of 12b-1 (distribution) fees
paid by Class B as compensation for providing services intended to
result in the sale of Class B shares, and FDC may reallow up to the
full amount of 12b-1 (service) fees paid by Class B to intermediaries
(such as banks, broker-dealers and other service-providers) for
providing shareholder support services.

Pursuant to the Class C Plan for the fund, FDC is paid a monthly 12b-1
(distribution) fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of Class C's average
net assets determined at the close of business on each day throughout
the month.

Pursuant to the Class C Plan for the fund, FDC is also paid a monthly
12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of Class C's average
net assets determined at the close of business on each day throughout
the month.

Currently and except as provided below, for the first year of
investment, FDC retains the full amount of 12b-1 (distribution) fees
paid by Class C as compensation for providing services intended to
result in the sale of Class C shares and retains the full amount of
12b-1 (service) fees paid by Class C for providing shareholder
support services. Normally, after the first year of investment, FDC
may reallow up to the full amount of 12b-1 (distribution) fees paid by
Class C to intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers) for providing services intended to result in the
sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to the full amount of 12b-1
(service) fees paid by Class C to intermediaries for providing
shareholder support services. For purchases of Class C shares made for
an employee benefit plan, 403(b) program or plan covering a
sole-proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan) or through reinvestment
of dividends or capital gain distributions, during the first year of
investment and thereafter, FDC may reallow up to the full amount of
12b-1 (distribution) fees paid by such Class C shares to
intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing services
intended to result in the sale of Class C shares and may reallow up to
the full amount of 12b-1 (service) fees paid by such Class C shares to
intermediaries, including its affiliates, for providing shareholder
support services.

Under the Institutional Class Plan, if the payment of management fees
by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of
the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the
Plan. Institutional Class Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may
use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its
other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with
providing services intended to result in the sale of Institutional
Class shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, the
Institutional Class Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC,
may pay intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for Institutional Class
shares.

Under each Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C Plan, if the payment
of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect
financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment
is authorized by the Plan. Each Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C
Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee
revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay
FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services
intended to result in the sale of Class A, Class T, Class B and Class
C shares and/or shareholder support services, including payments made
to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of
Trustees has authorized such payments for Class A, Class T, Class B
and Class C shares.

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the applicable class of the fund and its shareholders. In
particular, the Trustees noted that the Institutional Class Plan does
not authorize payments by Institutional Class of the fund other than
those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the
extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of shares of the applicable class,
additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may
result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be
provided more effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom
shareholders have other relationships.

Each Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C Plan does not provide for
specific payments by the applicable class of any of the expenses of
FDC, or obligate FDC or FMR to perform any specific type or level of
distribution activities or incur any specific level of expense in
connection with distribution activities.

The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the fund might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria
established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of
services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of
significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

Each class of the fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement
with FIIOC, an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement,
FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder
services for each class of the fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives an account fee
and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each account
in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts,
these fees are based on account size and fund type. For certain
institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type.
For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are
based on account type and fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.

The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date
total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.

FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC, an
affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the
NAV and dividends for each class of the fund, maintains the fund's
portfolio and general accounting records, and administers the fund's
securities lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are
0.0600% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0440% of
average net assets between $500 million and $3 billion, 0.0021% of
average net assets between $3 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00075% of
average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee, not including
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of
$60,000 per year.

For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC is paid
based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series VIII, an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 23, 1983.
Currently, there are ten funds in the trust: Fidelity Advisor
Diversified International Fund, Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund,
Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Advisor Europe
Capital Appreciation Fund, Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund,
Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund, Fidelity
Advisor Japan Fund, Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund, Fidelity Advisor
Latin America Fund, and Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund. The Trustees
are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create
additional classes of the fund.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of
each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets
of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and
expenses attributable to such fund, except that liabilities and
expenses may be allocated to a particular class. Any general expenses
of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of
the funds or classes.

SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY. The trust is an entity commonly known as a
"Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders
of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally
liable for the obligations of the trust.

[The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of
shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and
expenses of the trust or fund.] The Declaration of Trust provides that
the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the
payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each
agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees relating to the trust [or to a fund] shall
include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby [ to the
trust and its assets/to the trust or to one or more funds and its or
their assets]. [The Declaration of Trust further provides that
shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any
assets belonging to any other fund.]

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each
fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of
his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his
or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote. Claims asserted against one class of shares may subject
holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.

VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each
dollar of net asset value that you own. The voting rights of
shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be
voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or, for Class A, Class T, Class C and
Institutional Class conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and
nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder
Liability" above.

[The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by a vote of
shareholders of the trust or the fund. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of [the/a] trust, shareholders of each of its funds are
entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for
distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a
fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to receive the underlying
assets of the fund available for distribution.]

[The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment
company or series thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its
assets. Generally, the merger of the trust or a fund with another
entity or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the trust or
a fund to another entity requires approval by a vote of shareholders
of the trust or the fund. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or
terminate the trust or any of its funds without prior shareholder
approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust,
shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the
underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund, shareholders of
that fund are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund
available for distribution.]

CUSTODIANS. The Chase Manhattan Bank, 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, New
York, New York, is custodian of the assets of Fidelity Advisor Korea
Fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the fund's
assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing
agencies. The Bank of New York, headquartered in New York, also may
serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection
with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and members
of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions
with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain
funds advised by FMR. The Boston branch of the fund's custodian leases
its office space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which,
when entered into, was consistent with prevailing market rates.
Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal
and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and
conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or
potential custodial or other fund relationships.

AUDITOR. _________________________, serves as independent accountant
for the fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the fund
and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (p)(1) of Fidelity
Aberdeen Street Trust's (File No. 33-43529) Post-Effective
Amendment No. 23.

Item 24. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other
Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research
Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the
officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the
other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that
it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the
power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the
result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 25. Indemnification

Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the
reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification
shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states
that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer
to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all
expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any
claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by
virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any
amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be
provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to
be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his
or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have
acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action
was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement,
no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a
determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the
officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its
directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against
any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the
reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss,
liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees
incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person
acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration
statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information,
shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the
Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading
under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However,
the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it
harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in
reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the
Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity
of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to
be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any
liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the
Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed transfer agent, the
Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other
than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC
and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not
result from FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or
reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with
FIIOC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent
contributed to by FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of
the Registrant, or from FIIOC's acting upon any instruction(s)
reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any
person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's
acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have
been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's
acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably
believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or
executed by the proper person.

EXHIBIT D(8)

FORM OF
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY ADVISOR SERIES VIII:
FIDELITY ADVISOR KOREA FUND
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY

AGREEMENT made this __ day of ____ 200_, by and between Fidelity
Advisor Series VIII, a business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the
"Fund"), on behalf of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund (hereinafter called
the "Portfolio"), and Fidelity Management & Research Company, a
Massachusetts corporation (hereinafter called the "Adviser") as set
forth in its entirety below.

1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act
as investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the
supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of
the Portfolio in accordance with the investment objective, policies
and limitations as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other
governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time
(the "1940 Act"), and such other limitations as the Portfolio may
impose by notice in writing to the Adviser. The Adviser shall also
furnish for the use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary
office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the
investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of
all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all
personnel of the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to
research, statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is
authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the
Portfolio, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds
and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the
Portfolio. The investment policies and all other actions of the
Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the control and
direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for
the performance by its affiliates of) the management and
administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The
Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
perform various services for the Portfolio, including but not limited
to: (i) providing the Portfolio with office space, equipment and
facilities (which may be its own) for maintaining its organization;
(ii) on behalf of the Portfolio, supervising relations with, and
monitoring the performance of, custodians, depositories, transfer and
pricing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and
dealers, insurers and other persons in any capacity deemed to be
necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general shareholder
communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered,
maintaining the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's
shares under federal and state law; and (vii) investigating the
development of and developing and implementing, if appropriate,
management and shareholder services designed to enhance the value or
convenience of the Portfolio as an investment vehicle.

The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information
or analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request
from time to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The
Adviser shall make recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees
with respect to Fund policies, and shall carry out such policies as
are adopted by the Trustees. The Adviser shall, subject to review by
the Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Adviser
shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform
its obligations under this Contract.

(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or
dealers selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers
affiliated with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts
to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are
advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are
reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers
or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or
dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research
services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the other
accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess
of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in
good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to
the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either
that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the
Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which
they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of the Fund shall
periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine
if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor.
The Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.

2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of
the Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as
directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and
stockholders of the Adviser are or may be or become similarly
interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser may be or become
interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.

3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the
services and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall
receive a monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as
practicable after the last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee
and an Individual Fund Fee.

(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the
monthly average of the net assets of the registered investment
companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the
Adviser (computed in the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of
Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of
business on each business day throughout the month. The Group Fee
Rate shall be determined on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
following schedule:

(b) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be
0.55%.

The sum of the Group Fee Rate, calculated as described above to the
nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute
the Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management
Fee Rate shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the
Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration
of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close
of business on each business day throughout the month.

(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the
number of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee
computed upon the average net assets for the business days it is so in
effect for that month.

4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses,
which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and
other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and
other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's
Trustees other than those who are "interested persons" of the Fund or
the Adviser; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar
and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related
to the registration and qualification of the Fund and the Portfolio's
shares for distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii)
expenses of printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy
material to shareholders of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses
incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's shareholders,
including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a pro rata share, based
on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered
investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management
Contracts with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity
and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing
Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and supplements
thereto; (xii) expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto sent to
existing shareholders; and (xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary
expenses as may arise, including those relating to actions, suits or
proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party and the legal obligation
which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Fund's Trustees and
officers with respect thereto.

5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and
engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other
services and activities do not, during the term of this Contract,
interfere, in a material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet
all of its obligations with respect to rendering services to the
Portfolio hereunder. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties
hereunder on the part of the Adviser, the Adviser shall not be subject
to liability to the Portfolio or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the
purchase, holding or sale of any security or other investment
instrument.

6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d)
of this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July
31, ____ and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the
continuance after such date shall be specifically approved at least
annually by vote of the Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.

(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent subject to the
provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or
interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations
adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission.

(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this
Contract must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those
Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested
persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval.

(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior
written notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment
of any penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as
the case may be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This
Contract shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust
or other organizational document and agrees that the obligations
assumed by the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all
cases to the Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek
satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any
shareholder of the Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In
addition, the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such
obligations from the Trustees or any individual Trustee. The Adviser
understands that the rights and obligations of any Portfolio under the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document are separate and

BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY

FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY ADVISOR SERIES VIII ON BEHALF OF FIDELITY ADVISOR KOREA FUND

AGREEMENT made this __ day of ____, 200_, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research
(U.K.) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity
Advisor Series VIII, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue
one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter
called the "Trust") on behalf of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund
(hereinafter called the "Portfolio").

WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management
Contract on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is
to act as investment manager of the Portfolio; and

WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated
persons have personnel in various locations throughout the world and
have been formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling
information and recommendations with respect to the economies of
various countries, and securities of issuers located in such
countries, and providing investment advisory services in connection
therewith;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the
Sub-Advisor to perform one or more of the following services with
respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The
services and the portion of the investments of the Portfolio to be
advised or managed by the Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from
time to time by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor
shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the Sub-Advisor
performing services for the Portfolio relating to research,
statistical and investment activities.

(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the
Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the
Portfolio and the Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the
investments of the Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall
furnish the Portfolio and the Advisor such factual information,
research reports and investment recommendations as the Advisor may
reasonably require. Such information may include written and oral
reports and analyses.

(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the
Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the
Advisor, manage all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio
in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments,
as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act") and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time, and
such other limitations as the Trust or Advisor may impose with respect
to the Portfolio by notice to the Sub-Advisor. With respect to the
portion of the investments of the Portfolio under its management, the
Sub-Advisor is authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of
the Portfolio with regard to any stock, bond, other security or
investment instrument, and to place orders for the purchase and sale
of such securities through such broker-dealers as the Sub-Advisor may
select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only to the
extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to provide
additional investment management services to the Portfolio, including
but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction
of the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.

(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or
all of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through
such of its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the
Sub-Advisor shall determine; provided, however, that performance of
such services through such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons
shall have been approved by the Trust to the extent required pursuant
to the 1940 Act and rules thereunder.

2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees
or the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the
Sub-Advisor may deem to be desirable.

3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor
shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Sub-Advisor, which may include brokers or dealers
affiliated with the Advisor or Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use
its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices
which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which
are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting
brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction,
brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and
research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to the other
accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise investment
discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or dealer
who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess
of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines
in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation
to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either
that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the
Sub-Advisor has with respect to accounts over which it exercises
investment discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall periodically
review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the
commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable
in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on
the following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under
subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees
to pay the Sub-Advisor a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory
Fee shall be equal to 110% of the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in
connection with rendering the services referred to in subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be
reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the
Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.

(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees
to pay the Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The
Investment Management Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly
management fee rate (including performance adjustments, if any) that
the Portfolio is obligated to pay the Advisor under its Management
Contract with the Advisor, multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to
the net assets of the Portfolio as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided investment management services divided by the net assets of
the Portfolio for that month. If in any fiscal year the aggregate
expenses of the Portfolio exceed any applicable expense limitation
imposed by any state or federal securities laws or regulations, and
the Advisor waives all or a portion of its management fee or
reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent required to
satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to the
Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements
and the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such
waivers or reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to
receive from the Advisor a proportionate share of the amount
recovered. To the extent that waivers and reimbursements by the
Advisor required by such limitations are in excess of the Advisor's
management fee, the Investment Management Fee paid to the Sub-Advisor
will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no event shall the
Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or a portion
of such excess reimbursements.

(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1)
for the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same
period, the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such
investments shall be calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of
this paragraph 4.

5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of
its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the
Sub-Advisor hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract
with the Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall
include, without limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage
commissions and other costs in connection with the purchase or sale of
securities and other investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses
of the Trust's Trustees other than those who are "interested persons"
of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit
expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and
expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and
qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for distribution
under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing
and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of
the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding
meetings of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy
solicitations therefore; (ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net
assets of the Portfolio and other registered investment companies
having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Advisor,
of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other coverage; (x) its
proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi) expenses of
typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing and
mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and
supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such
non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those
relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to
indemnify the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.

6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers,
and shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in
the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and
that directors, officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor are or may be or become similarly interested in the Trust,
and that the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in
the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in
other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its
obligations hereunder. The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an
independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Advisor or
the Trust.

8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties
hereunder on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be
subject to liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder
of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that
may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:

(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of
this paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July

the Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio subject to the provisions of Section
15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable

Agreement must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those
Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or
interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any
time on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties,
terminate this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of
its Board of Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio
by vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities. This
Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment.

10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly
put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth
in the Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the
Trust and agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio
arising in connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all
cases to the Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not
seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any
shareholder of the Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek
satisfaction of any such obligation from the Trustees or any
individual Trustee.

11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of laws provisions
thereof.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth, the Sub-Advisor and the U.K.
Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1. Duties: The Sub-Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the U.K.
Sub-Advisor to perform one or more of the following services with
respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio, in
connection with the Sub-Advisor's duties under the Sub-Advisory
Agreement. The services and the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio advised or managed by the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall be as
agreed upon from time to time by the Sub-Advisor and the U.K.
Sub-Advisor. The U.K. Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of
all personnel of the U.K. Sub-Advisor performing services for the
Portfolio relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the
Sub-Advisor, the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to
the Sub-Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of
the Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the
Sub-Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such
information may include written and oral reports and analyses.

(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the
Sub-Advisor, the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall manage all or a portion of the
investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the investment
objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to
time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time, and such other limitations
as the Trust or Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by
notice to the U.K. Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the
investments of the Portfolio under its management, the U.K.
Sub-Advisor is authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of
the Portfolio with regard to any stock, bond, other security or
investment instrument, and to place orders for the purchase and sale
of such securities through such broker-dealers as the U.K. Sub-Advisor
may select. The U.K. Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only to
the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign
currency investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and
options contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of
the Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of
the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and
direction of the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor and the Trust's Board of
Trustees.

2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
U.K. Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information
or analyses to the Trust, the Advisor, and the Sub-Advisor as the
Trust's Board of Trustees, the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor may
reasonably request from time to time, or as the U.K. Sub-Advisor may
deem to be desirable.

3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the U.K.
Sub-Advisor shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or
dealers selected by the U.K. Sub-Advisor, which may include brokers or
dealers affiliated with the Advisor, Sub-Advisor or U.K. Sub-Advisor.
The U.K. Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to
the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to
execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected
who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are
defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to
the Portfolio and/or to the other accounts over which the U.K.
Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise investment
discretion. The U.K. Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission
for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in
excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction if the U.K. Sub-Advisor
determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed
in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the U.K. Sub-Advisor and the Sub-Advisor have
with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment
discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall periodically review the
commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid
over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the
benefits to the Portfolio.

4. Compensation: The Sub-Advisor shall compensate the U.K.
Sub-Advisor on the following basis for the services to be furnished
hereunder.

subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor
agrees to pay the U.K. Sub-Advisor a monthly U.K. Sub-Advisory Fee.
The U.K. Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 110% of the U.K.
Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
U.K. Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense
reimbursements or fee waivers by the Sub-Advisor or Advisor, if any,
in effect from time to time.

(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor
agrees to pay the U.K. Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management

referred to in subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
U.K. Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense
reimbursements or fee waivers by the Sub-Advisor or Advisor, if any,

have provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a)
and investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph
1 for the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the
same period, the fees paid to the U.K. Sub-Advisor with respect to
such investments shall be calculated exclusively under subparagraph
(b) of this paragraph 4.

5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of
its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the
U.K. Sub-Advisor hereunder, by the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory

and shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in

become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor or the U.K. Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the
Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The Services of the
U.K. Sub-Advisor to the Sub-Advisor are not to be deemed to be
exclusive, the U.K. Sub-Advisor being free to render services to
others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such
other services and activities do not, during the term of this
Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the U.K.
Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder. The
U.K. Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor
and not an agent or employee of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the
Trust.

8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties
hereunder on the part of the U.K. Sub-Advisor, the U.K. Sub-Advisor
shall not be subject to liability to the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor, the
Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission

of any security.

expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as

of the Trust and agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the
Portfolio arising in connection with this Agreement shall be limited
in all cases to the Portfolio and its assets, and the U.K. Sub-Advisor
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the
shareholders or any shareholder of the Portfolio. Nor shall the U.K.
Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the Trustees
or any individual Trustee.

to the economies of various countries, and securities of issuers
located in such countries, and providing investment advisory services
in connection therewith;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1. DUTIES: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the
Sub-Advisor to perform one or more of the following services with
respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The
services and the portion of the investments of the Portfolio to be
advised or managed by the Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from
time to time by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor
shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the Sub-Advisor
performing services for the Portfolio relating to research,

provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments,
as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the"1940 Act") and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time,
and such other limitations as the Trust or Advisor may impose with
respect to the Portfolio by notice to the Sub-Advisor. With respect
to the portion of the investments of the Portfolio under its

on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock, bond, other
security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as
the Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized,
but only to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the
Advisor, to provide additional investment management services to the
Portfolio, including but not limited to services such as managing
foreign currency investments, purchasing and selling or writing
futures and options contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities
on behalf of the Portfolio. All investment management and any other
activities of the Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the
control and direction of the Advisor and the Trust's Board of
Trustees.

4. COMPENSATION: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on
the following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under
subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees
to pay the Sub-Advisor a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 30% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is
obligated to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the
Advisor, multiplied by (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of
the Portfolio as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided
investment advice divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that
month. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense
reimbursements or fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from
time to time.

(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees
to pay the Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The

Contract with the Advisor, multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to
the net assets of the Portfolio as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided investment management services divided by the net assets of
the Portfolio for that month. If in any fiscal year the aggregate
expenses of the Portfolio exceed any applicable expense limitation
imposed by any state or federal securities laws or regulations, and
the Advisor waives all or a portion of its management fee or
reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent required to
satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to the
Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 57% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements
and the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such
waivers and reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to
receive from the Advisor a proportionate share of the amount
recovered. To the extent that waivers and reimbursements by the
Advisor required by such limitations are in excess of the Advisor's
management fee, the Investment Management Fee paid to the Sub-Advisor
will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no event shall the
Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or a portion
of such excess reimbursements.

(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1
for the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same
period, the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such
investments shall be calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of
this paragraph 4.

9. DURATION AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this instrument to
be signed in their behalf by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized, all as of the date written above.

adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated to pay the
Adviser under the Portfolio's Management Contract with the Adviser in
respect of that portion of the Portfolio's assets managed by the
Sub-Adviser during such month. Such fee shall not be reduced to
reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the Adviser, if any,

Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser or the
Sub-Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser are or may
be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser or
the Sub-Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a
shareholder or otherwise.

proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party and the legal obligation
which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the Fund's Trustees and
officers with respect thereto.

5. The Services of the Sub-Adviser to the Adviser are not to be
deemed to be exclusive, the Sub-Adviser being free to render services
to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such
other services and activities do not, during the term of this
Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Sub-Adviser's
ability to meet all of its obligations with respect to rendering
investment advice hereunder. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes
be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the
Adviser or the Fund.

6. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence
or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part
of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser shall not be subject to liability
to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for
any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the
purchase, holding or sale of any security.

7. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d)
of this paragraph 7, this Agreement shall continue in force until July
31, ____, and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the
continuance after such period shall be specifically approved at least
annually by vote of the Fund's Board of Trustees or by vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.

(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent subject to the
provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, as modified by or
interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations
adopted by, or interpretive releases of, the Commission.

(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this paragraph 7, the terms of any continuance or modification of the
Agreement must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those
Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to such Agreement or
interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

(d) Either the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or the Portfolio may, at any
time on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties,
terminate this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of
its Board of Trustees or Directors, or by vote of a majority of its
outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon the termination of the Management Contract between
the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser. This Agreement
shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

8. The Sub-Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the
limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of
Trust or other organizational document of the Fund and agrees that any
obligations of the Fund or the Portfolio arising in connection with
this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the Portfolio and its
assets, and the Sub-Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Portfolio.
Nor shall the Sub-Adviser seek satisfaction of any such obligation
from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.

9. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF.

FORM OF
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
between
FIDELITY ADVISOR SERIES VIII
and
FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION

Agreement made this ___ day of , , between Fidelity
Advisor Series VIII, a Massachusetts business trust having its
principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts and which may
issue one or more series of beneficial interest ("Issuer"), with
respect to shares of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund, a series of the
Issuer, and Fidelity Distributors Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation having its principal place of business in Boston,
Massachusetts ("Distributors").

In consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein
contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. Sale of Shares - The Issuer grants to Distributors the right to
sell shares on behalf of the Issuer during the term of this Agreement
and subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), and of the laws governing the sale of
securities in the various states ("Blue Sky Laws") under the following
terms and conditions: Distributors (i) shall have the right to sell,
as agent on behalf of the Issuer, shares authorized for issue and
registered under the 1933 Act, and (ii) may sell shares under offers
of exchange, if available, between and among the funds advised by
Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") or any of its
affiliates.

2. Sale of Shares by the Issuer - The rights granted to Distributors
shall be nonexclusive in that the Issuer reserves the right to sell
its shares to investors on applications received and accepted by the
Issuer. Further, the Issuer reserves the right to issue shares in
connection with the merger or consolidation, or acquisition by the
Issuer through purchase or otherwise, with any other investment
company, trust, or personal holding company.

3. Shares Covered by this Agreement - This Agreement shall apply to
unissued shares of the Issuer, shares of the Issuer held in its
treasury in the event that in the discretion of the Issuer treasury
shares shall be sold, and shares of the Issuer repurchased for resale.

4. Public Offering Price - Except as otherwise noted in the Issuer's
current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, all
shares sold to investors by Distributors or the Issuer will be sold at
the public offering price. The public offering price for all accepted
subscriptions will be the net asset value per share, as determined in
the manner described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or
Statement of Additional Information, plus a sales charge (if any)
described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of
Additional Information. The Issuer shall in all cases receive the net
asset value per share on all sales. If a sales charge is in effect,
Distributors shall have the right subject to such rules or regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission as may then be in effect
pursuant to Section 22 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to pay a
portion of the sales charge to dealers who have sold shares of the
Issuer. If a fee in connection with shareholder redemptions is in
effect, the Issuer shall collect the fee on behalf of Distributors
and, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Issuer and Distributors,
Distributors shall be entitled to receive all of such fees.

5. Suspension of Sales - If and whenever the determination of net
asset value is suspended and until such suspension is terminated, no
further orders for shares shall be processed by Distributors except
such unconditional orders as may have been placed with Distributors
before it had knowledge of the suspension. In addition, the Issuer
reserves the right to suspend sales and Distributors' authority to
process orders for shares on behalf of the Issuer if, in the judgment
of the Issuer, it is in the best interests of the Issuer to do so.
Suspension will continue for such period as may be determined by the
Issuer.

6. Solicitation of Sales - In consideration of these rights granted to
Distributors, Distributors agrees to use all reasonable efforts,
consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of
the Issuer. This shall not prevent Distributors from entering into
like arrangements (including arrangements involving the payment of
underwriting commissions) with other issuers. This does not obligate
Distributors to register as a broker or dealer under the Blue Sky Laws
of any jurisdiction in which it is not now registered or to maintain
its registration in any jurisdiction in which it is now registered.
If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right to
enter into sales agreements with dealers of its choice for the sale of
shares of the Issuer to the public at the public offering price only
and fix in such agreements the portion of the sales charge which may
be retained by dealers, provided that the Issuer shall approve the
form of the dealer agreement and the dealer discounts set forth
therein and shall evidence such approval by filing said form of dealer
agreement and amendments thereto as an exhibit to its currently
effective Registration Statement under the 1933 Act.

7. Authorized Representations - Distributors is not authorized by the
Issuer to give any information or to make any representations other
than those contained in the appropriate registration statements or
Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act (as these
registration statements, Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information may be amended from time to time), or contained in
shareholder reports or other material that may be prepared by or on
behalf of the Issuer for Distributors' use. This shall not be
construed to prevent Distributors from preparing and distributing
sales literature or other material as it may deem appropriate.

8. Portfolio Securities - Portfolio securities of the Issuer may be
bought or sold by or through Distributors, and Distributors may
participate directly or indirectly in brokerage commissions or
"spreads" for transactions in portfolio securities of the Issuer.

9. Registration of Shares - The Issuer agrees that it will take all
action necessary to register shares under the 1933 Act (subject to the
necessary approval of its shareholders) so that there will be
available for sale the number of shares Distributors may reasonably be
expected to sell. The Issuer shall make available to Distributors
such number of copies of its currently effective Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information as Distributors may reasonably
request. The Issuer shall furnish to Distributors copies of all
information, financial statements and other papers which Distributors
may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of
shares of the Issuer.

10. Expenses - The Issuer shall pay all fees and expenses (a) in
connection with the preparation, setting in type and filing of any
registration statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information under the 1933 Act and amendments for the issue of its
shares, (b) in connection with the registration and qualification of
shares for sale in the various states in which the Board of Trustees
of the Issuer shall determine it advisable to qualify such shares for
sale (including registering the Issuer as a broker or dealer or any
officer of the Issuer as agent or salesman in any state), (c) of
preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing any report or other
communication to shareholders of the Issuer in their capacity as such,
and (d) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing
Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and any supplements
thereto sent to existing shareholders.

As provided in the Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the
Issuer, it is recognized by the Issuer that FMR may make payment to
Distributors with respect to any expenses incurred in the distribution
of shares of the Issuer, such payments payable from the past profits
or other resources of FMR including management fees paid to it by the
Issuer.

11. Indemnification - The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Distributors and each of its directors and officers and each person,
if any, who controls Distributors within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense
(including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any
alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable
counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of
any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the
registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional
Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made
public by the Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not
misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law.
However, the Issuer does not agree to indemnify Distributors or hold
it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in
reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the
Issuer by or on behalf of Distributors. In no case (i) is the
indemnity of the Issuer in favor of Distributors or any person
indemnified to be deemed to protect Distributors or any person against
any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which
Distributors or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of
wilful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Issuer to
be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph
with respect to any claim made against Distributors or any person
indemnified unless Distributors or person, as the case may be, shall
have notified the Issuer in writing of the claim within a reasonable
time after the summons or other first written notification giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon
Distributors or any such person (or after Distributors or such person
shall have received notice of service on any designated agent).
However, failure to notify the Issuer of any claim shall not relieve
the Issuer from any liability which it may have to Distributors or any
person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account
of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. The Issuer
shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense,
or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any claims, but if the Issuer elects to assume the defense,
the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and
satisfactory to Distributors or person or persons, defendant or
defendants in the suit. In the event the Issuer elects to assume the
defense of any suit and retain counsel, Distributors, officers or
directors or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in
the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel
retained by them. If the Issuer does not elect to assume the defense
of any suit, it will reimburse Distributors, officers or directors or
controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit,
for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them.
The Issuer agrees to notify Distributors promptly of the commencement
of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or
trustees in connection with the issuance or sale of any of the shares.

Distributors also covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and
hold harmless the Issuer and each of its Board members and officers
and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, damages,
claim or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or
defending any alleged loss, liability, damages, claim or expense and
reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by
reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the 1933 Act or
any other statute or common law, alleging any wrongful act of
Distributors or any of its employees or alleging that the registration
statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information,
shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the
Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading,
insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in
conformity with information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of
Distributors. In no case (i) is the indemnity of Distributors in
favor of the Issuer or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect
the Issuer or any person against any liability to which the Issuer or
such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is Distributors to be liable
under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect
to any claim made against the Issuer or any person indemnified unless
the Issuer or person, as the case may be, shall have notified
Distributors in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after
the summons or other first written notification giving information of
the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Issuer or any
such person (or after the Issuer or such person shall have received
notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to
notify Distributors of any claim shall not relieve Distributors from
any liability which it may have to the Issuer or any person against
whom the action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity
agreement contained in this paragraph. In the case of any notice to
Distributors, it shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense,
in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit
brought to enforce the claim, but if Distributors elects to assume the
defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and
satisfactory to the Issuer, to its officers and Board and to any
controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit.
In the event that Distributors elects to assume the defense of any
suit and retain counsel, the Issuer or controlling persons, defendant
or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expense of any
additional counsel retained by them. If Distributors does not elect
to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Issuer,
officers and Board or controlling person or persons, defendant or
defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any
counsel retained by them. Distributors agrees to notify the Issuer
promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against
it in connection with the issue and sale of any of the shares.

12. Effective Date - This agreement shall be effective upon its
execution, and unless terminated as provided, shall continue in force
until March 31, ____ and thereafter from year to year, provided
continuance is approved annually by the vote of a majority of the
Board members of the Issuer, and by the vote of those Board members of
the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and, if a
plan under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is in
effect, by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not
"interested persons" of the Issuer and who are not parties to the
Distribution and Service Plan or this Agreement and have no financial
interest in the operation of the Distribution and Service Plan or in
any agreements related to the Distribution and Service Plan, cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment. As used in this paragraph, the terms "assignment" and
"interested persons" shall have the respective meanings specified in
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as now in effect or as hereafter
amended. In addition to termination by failure to approve continuance
or by assignment, this Agreement may at any time be terminated by
either party upon not less than sixty days' prior written notice to
the other party.

13. Notice - Any notice required or permitted to be given by either
party to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving notice
to the other party at the last address furnished by the other party to
the party giving notice: if to the Issuer, at 82 Devonshire Street,
Boston, Massachusetts, and if to Distributors, at 82 Devonshire
Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

14. Limitation of Liability - Distributors is expressly put on notice
of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Issuer
and agrees that the obligations assumed by the Issuer under this
contract shall be limited in all cases to the Issuer and its assets.
Distributors shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from
the shareholders or any shareholder of the Issuer. Nor shall
Distributors seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the
Trustees or any individual Trustee of the Issuer. Distributors
understands that the rights and obligations of each series of shares
of the Issuer under the Issuer's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any
and all other series.

15. This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving
effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has executed this instrument in its
name and behalf, and its seal affixed, by one of its officers duly
authorized, and Distributors has executed this instrument in its name
and behalf by one of its officers duly authorized, as of the day and
year first above written.

FORM OF
CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made as of the __ day of _____ between each of the
Investment Companies Listed on Appendix "A" hereto, as the same may be
amended from time to time (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds")
and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (the "Custodian").

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, each Fund is or may be organized with one or more series of
shares, each of which shall represent an interest in a separate
portfolio of cash, securities and other assets (all such existing and
additional series now or hereafter listed on Appendix "A" being
hereinafter referred to individually, as a "Portfolio," and
collectively, as the "Portfolios"); and

WHEREAS, each Fund desires to appoint the Custodian as custodian on
behalf of each of its Portfolios in accordance with the provisions of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and
the rules and regulations thereunder, under the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, and the Custodian has agreed so to act as
custodian.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIAN

On behalf of each of its Portfolios, each Fund hereby employs and
appoints the Custodian as a custodian, subject to the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. Each Fund shall deliver to the
Custodian, or shall cause to be delivered to the Custodian, cash,
securities and other assets owned by each of its Portfolios from time
to time during the term of this Agreement and shall specify to which
of its Portfolios such cash, securities and other assets are to be
specifically allocated.

ARTICLE II

POWERS AND DUTIES OF CUSTODIAN

As custodian, the Custodian shall have and perform the powers and
duties set forth in this Article II. Pursuant to and in accordance
with Article IV hereof, the Custodian may appoint one or more
Subcustodians (as hereinafter defined) to exercise the powers and
perform the duties of the Custodian set forth in this Article II and
references to the Custodian in this Article II shall include any
Subcustodian so appointed.

Section 2.01. Safekeeping. The Custodian shall keep safely all
cash, securities and other assets of each Fund's Portfolios delivered
to the Custodian and, on behalf of such Portfolios, the Custodian
shall, from time to time, accept delivery of cash, securities and
other assets for safekeeping.

Section 2.02. Manner of Holding Securities.

(a) The Custodian shall at all times hold securities of each Fund's
Portfolios either: (i) by physical possession of the share
certificates or other instruments representing such securities in
registered or bearer form; or (ii) in book-entry form by a Securities
System (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.22 below.

(b) The Custodian shall at all times hold registered securities of
each Portfolio in the name of the Custodian, the Portfolio or a
nominee of either of them, unless specifically directed by Proper
Instructions to hold such registered securities in so-called street
name; provided that, in any event, all such securities and other
assets shall be held in an account of the Custodian containing only
assets of a Portfolio, or only assets held by the Custodian as a
fiduciary or custodian for customers; and provided further, that the
records of the Custodian shall indicate at all times the Portfolio or
other customer for which such securities and other assets are held in
such account and the respective interests therein.

Section 2.03. Security Purchases. Upon receipt of Proper
Instructions (as hereinafter defined), the Custodian shall pay for and
receive securities purchased for the account of a Portfolio, provided
that payment shall be made by the Custodian only upon receipt of the
securities: (a) by the Custodian; (b) by a clearing corporation of a
national securities exchange of which the Custodian is a member; or
(c) by a Securities System. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
receipt of Proper Instructions: (i) in the case of a repurchase
agreement, the Custodian may release funds to a Securities System
prior to the receipt of advice from the Securities System that the
securities underlying such repurchase agreement have been transferred
by book-entry into the Account (as hereinafter defined) maintained
with such Securities System by the Custodian, provided that the
Custodian's instructions to the Securities System require that the
Securities System may make payment of such funds to the other party to
the repurchase agreement only upon transfer by book-entry of the
securities underlying the repurchase agreement into the Account; (ii)
in the case of time deposits, call account deposits, currency
deposits, and other deposits, foreign exchange transactions, futures
contracts or options, pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.12 and 2.13
hereof, the Custodian may make payment therefor before receipt of an
advice or confirmation evidencing said deposit or entry into such
transaction; (iii) in the case of the purchase of securities, the
settlement of which occurs outside of the United States of America,
the Custodian may make payment therefor and receive delivery of such
securities in accordance with local custom and practice generally
accepted by Institutional Clients (as hereinafter defined) in the
country in which the settlement occurs, but in all events subject to
the standard of care set forth in Article V hereof; and (iv) in the
case of the purchase of securities in which, in accordance with
standard industry custom and practice generally accepted by
Institutional Clients with respect to such securities, the receipt of
such securities and the payment therefor take place in different
countries, the Custodian may receive delivery of such securities and
make payment therefor in accordance with standard industry custom and
practice for such securities generally accepted by Institutional
Clients, but in all events subject to the standard of care set forth
in Article V hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, an
"Institutional Client" shall mean a major commercial bank,
corporation, insurance company, or substantially similar institution,
which, as a substantial part of its business operations, purchases or
sells securities and makes use of custodial services.

Section 2.04. Exchanges of Securities. Upon receipt of Proper
Instructions, the Custodian shall exchange securities held by it for
the account of a Portfolio for other securities in connection with any
reorganization, recapitalization, split-up of shares, change of par
value, conversion or other event relating to the securities or the
issuer of such securities, and shall deposit any such securities in
accordance with the terms of any reorganization or protective plan.
The Custodian shall, without receiving Proper Instructions: surrender
securities in temporary form for definitive securities; surrender
securities for transfer into the name of the Custodian, a Portfolio or
a nominee of either of them, as permitted by Section 2.02(b); and
surrender securities for a different number of certificates or
instruments representing the same number of shares or same principal
amount of indebtedness, provided that the securities to be issued will
be delivered to the Custodian or a nominee of the Custodian.

Section 2.05. Sales of Securities. Upon receipt of Proper
Instructions, the Custodian shall make delivery of securities which
have been sold for the account of a Portfolio, but only against
payment therefor in the form of: (a) cash, certified check, bank
cashier's check, bank credit, or bank wire transfer; (b) credit to the
account of the Custodian with a clearing corporation of a national
securities exchange of which the Custodian is a member; or (c) credit
to the Account of the Custodian with a Securities System, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) in the case of the sale of
securities, the settlement of which occurs outside of the United
States of America, such securities shall be delivered and paid for in
accordance with local custom and practice generally accepted by
Institutional Clients in the country in which the settlement occurs,
but in all events subject to the standard of care set forth in Article
V hereof; (ii) in the case of the sale of securities in which, in
accordance with standard industry custom and practice generally
accepted by Institutional Clients with respect to such securities, the
delivery of such securities and receipt of payment therefor take place
in different countries, the Custodian may deliver such securities and
receive payment therefor in accordance with standard industry custom

ARTICLE III

PROPER INSTRUCTIONS, SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 3.01. Proper Instructions and Special Instructions.

(a) Proper Instructions. As used herein, the term "Proper
Instructions" shall mean: (i) a tested telex, a written (including,
without limitation, facsimile transmission) request, direction,
instruction or certification signed or initialed by or on behalf of
the applicable Fund by one or more Authorized Persons (as hereinafter
defined); (ii) a telephonic or other oral communication by one or more
Authorized Persons; or (iii) a communication effected directly between
an electro-mechanical or electronic device or system (including,
without limitation, computers) by or on behalf of the applicable Fund
by one or more Authorized Persons; provided, however, that
communications of the types described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above
purporting to be given by an Authorized Person shall be considered
Proper Instructions only if the Custodian reasonably believes such
communications to have been given by an Authorized Person with respect
to the transaction involved. Proper Instructions in the form of oral
communications shall be confirmed by the applicable Fund by tested
telex or in writing in the manner set forth in clause (i) above, but
the lack of such confirmation shall in no way affect any action taken
by the Custodian in reliance upon such oral instructions prior to the
Custodian's receipt of such confirmation. Each Fund and the Custodian
are hereby authorized to record any and all telephonic or other oral
instructions communicated to the Custodian. Proper Instructions may
relate to specific transactions or to types or classes of
transactions, and may be in the form of standing instructions.

(b) Special Instructions. As used herein, the term "Special
Instructions" shall mean Proper Instructions countersigned or
confirmed in writing by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of
the applicable Fund or any other person designated by the Treasurer of
such Fund in writing, which countersignature or confirmation shall be
(i) included on the same instrument containing the Proper Instructions
or on a separate instrument relating thereto, and (ii) delivered by
hand, by facsimile transmission, or in such other manner as the
applicable Fund and the Custodian agree in writing.

(c) Address for Proper Instructions and Special Instructions. Proper
Instructions and Special Instructions shall be delivered to the
Custodian at the address and/or telephone, telecopy or telex number
agreed upon from time to time by the Custodian and the applicable
Fund.

Section 3.02. Authorized Persons. Concurrently with the execution
of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, as appropriate,
each Fund shall deliver to the Custodian, duly certified as
appropriate by a Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer of such Fund, a
certificate setting forth: (a) the names, titles, signatures and
scope of authority of all persons authorized to give Proper
Instructions or any other notice, request, direction, instruction,
certificate or instrument on behalf of such Fund (collectively, the
"Authorized Persons" and individually, an "Authorized Person"); and
(b) the names, titles and signatures of those persons authorized to
issue Special Instructions. Such certificate may be accepted and
relied upon by the Custodian as conclusive evidence of the facts set
forth therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect
until delivery to the Custodian of a similar certificate to the
contrary. Upon delivery of a certificate which deletes the name(s) of
a person previously authorized by a Fund to give Proper Instructions
or to issue Special Instructions, such persons shall no longer be
considered an Authorized Person or authorized to issue Special
Instructions for that Fund.

Section 3.03. Persons Having Access to Assets of the Portfolios.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
no Authorized Person, Trustee, officer, employee or agent of any Fund
shall have physical access to the assets of any Portfolio of that Fund
held by the Custodian nor shall the Custodian deliver any assets of a
Portfolio for delivery to an account of such person; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 3.03 shall prohibit (a) any
Authorized Person from giving Proper Instructions, or any person
authorized to issue Special Instructions from issuing Special
Instructions, so long as such action does not result in delivery of or
access to assets of any Portfolio prohibited by this Section 3.03; or

ARTICLE IV

SUBCUSTODIANS

The Custodian may, from time to time, in accordance with the relevant
provisions of this Article IV, appoint one or more Domestic
Subcustodians, Foreign Subcustodians, Interim Subcustodians and
Special Subcustodians to act on behalf of a Portfolio. (For purposes
of this Agreement, all duly appointed Domestic Subcustodians, Foreign
Subcustodians, Interim Subcustodians, and Special Subcustodians are
hereinafter referred to collectively, as "Subcustodians.")

Section 4.01. Domestic Subcustodians. The Custodian may, at any
time and from time to time, appoint any bank as defined in Section
2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under
Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, to act on behalf of one or more Portfolios as a
subcustodian for purposes of holding cash, securities and other assets
of such Portfolios and performing other functions of the Custodian
within the United States (a "Domestic Subcustodian"); provided, that,
the Custodian shall notify each applicable Fund in writing of the
identity and qualifications of any proposed Domestic Subcustodian at
least thirty (30) days prior to appointment of such Domestic
Subcustodian, and such Fund may, in its sole discretion, by written
notice to the Custodian executed by an Authorized Person disapprove of
the appointment of such Domestic Subcustodian. If, following notice
by the Custodian to each applicable Fund regarding appointment of a
Domestic Subcustodian and the expiration of thirty (30) days after the
date of such notice, such Fund shall have failed to notify the
Custodian of its disapproval thereof, the Custodian may, in its
discretion, appoint such proposed Domestic Subcustodian as its
subcustodian.

Section 4.02. Foreign Subcustodians and Interim Subcustodians.

(a) Foreign Subcustodians. The Custodian may, at any time and from
time to time, appoint: (i) any bank, trust company or other entity
meeting the requirements of an "eligible foreign custodian" under
Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
or by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission exempted
therefrom, or (ii) any bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940
Act meeting the requirements of a custodian under Section 17(f) of the
1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to act on behalf of
one or more Portfolios as a subcustodian for purposes of holding cash,
securities and other assets of such Portfolios and performing other
functions of the Custodian in countries other than the United States
of America (a "Foreign Subcustodian"); provided, that, prior to the
appointment of any Foreign Subcustodian, the Custodian shall have
obtained written confirmation of the approval of the Board of Trustees
or other governing body or entity of each applicable Fund on behalf of
its applicable Portfolio(s) (which approval may be withheld in the
sole discretion of such Board of Trustees or other governing body or
entity) with respect to (i) the identity and qualifications of any
proposed Foreign Subcustodian, (ii) the country or countries in which,
and the securities depositories or clearing agencies, if any, through
which, any proposed Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to hold
securities and other assets of the applicable Portfolio(s), and (iii)
the form and terms of the subcustodian agreement to be entered into
between such proposed Foreign Subcustodian and the Custodian. Each
such duly approved Foreign Subcustodian and the countries where and
the securities depositories and clearing agencies through which they
may hold securities and other assets of the applicable Portfolios
shall be listed on Appendix "B" attached hereto, as it may be amended,
from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.05(c) hereof. Each Fund shall be responsible for informing the
Custodian sufficiently in advance of a proposed investment by one of
its Portfolios which is to be held in a country in which no Foreign
Subcustodian is authorized to act, in order that there shall be
sufficient time for the Custodian to effect the appropriate
arrangements with a proposed foreign subcustodian, including obtaining
approval as provided in this Section 4.02(a). The Custodian shall not
amend any subcustodian agreement entered into with a Foreign
Subcustodian, or agree to change or permit any changes thereunder, or
waive any rights under such agreement, which materially affect a
Fund's rights or the Foreign Subcustodian's obligations or duties to
a Fund under such agreement, except upon prior approval pursuant to
Special Instructions.

(b) Interim Subcustodians. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that a Portfolio shall invest in a security or other asset to be
held in a country in which no Foreign Subcustodian is authorized to
act, the Custodian shall promptly notify the applicable Fund in
writing by facsimile transmission or in such other manner as such Fund
and Custodian shall agree in writing of the unavailability of an
approved Foreign Subcustodian in such country; and the Custodian
shall, upon receipt of Special Instructions, appoint any Person
designated by the applicable Fund in such Special Instructions to hold
such security or other asset. (Any Person appointed as a subcustodian
pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) is hereinafter referred to as an
"Interim Subcustodian.")

Section 4.03. Special Subcustodians. Upon receipt of Special
Instructions, the Custodian shall, on behalf of one or more
Portfolios, appoint one or more banks, trust companies or other
entities designated in such Special Instructions to act as a
subcustodian for purposes of: (i) effecting third-party repurchase
transactions with banks, brokers, dealers or other entities through
the use of a common custodian or subcustodian; (ii) establishing a
joint trading account for the applicable Portfolio(s) and other
registered open-end management investment companies for which Fidelity
Management & Research Company serves as investment adviser, through
which such Portfolios and such other investment companies shall
collectively participate in certain repurchase transactions; (iii)
providing depository and clearing agency services with respect to
certain variable rate demand note securities; and (iv) effecting any
other transactions designated by each applicable Fund in Special
Instructions. (Each such designated subcustodian is hereinafter
referred to as a "Special Subcustodian.") Each such duly appointed
Special Subcustodian shall be listed on Appendix "B" attached hereto,
as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.05(c) hereof. In connection with the
appointment of any Special Subcustodian, the Custodian shall enter
into a subcustodian agreement with the Special Subcustodian in form
and substance approved by each applicable Fund, provided that such
agreement shall in all events comply with the provisions of the 1940
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and the terms and
provisions of this Agreement. The Custodian shall not amend any
subcustodian agreement entered into with a Special Subcustodian, or
agree to change or permit any changes thereunder, or waive any rights
under such agreement, except upon prior approval pursuant to Special
Instructions.

Section 4.04. Termination of a Subcustodian. The Custodian shall
(i) cause each Domestic Subcustodian and Foreign Subcustodian to, and
(ii) use its best efforts to cause each Interim Subcustodian and
Special Subcustodian to, perform all of its obligations in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the subcustodian agreement between
the Custodian and such Subcustodian. In the event that the Custodian
is unable to cause such Subcustodian to fully perform its obligations
thereunder, the Custodian shall forthwith, upon the receipt of Special
Instructions, terminate such Subcustodian with respect to each
applicable Fund and, if necessary or desirable, appoint a replacement
Subcustodian in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 or
Section 4.02, as the case may be. In addition to the foregoing, the
Custodian (A) may, at any time in its discretion, upon written
notification to each applicable Fund, terminate any Domestic
Subcustodian, Foreign Subcustodian or Interim Subcustodian, and (B)
shall, upon receipt of Special Instructions, terminate any
Subcustodian with respect to each applicable Fund, in accordance with
the termination provisions under the applicable subcustodian
agreement.

Section 4.05. Certification Regarding Foreign Subcustodians. Upon
request of a Fund, the Custodian shall deliver to such Fund a
certificate stating: (i) the identity of each Foreign Subcustodian
then acting on behalf of the Custodian for such Fund and its
Portfolios; (ii) the countries in which and the securities
depositories and clearing agents through which each such Foreign
Subcustodian is then holding cash, securities and other assets of any
Portfolio of such Fund; and (iii) such other information as may be
requested by such Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17(f)-5 under
the 1940 Act.

ARTICLE V

STANDARD OF CARE; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 5.01. Standard of Care.

(a) General Standard of Care. The Custodian shall exercise
reasonable care and diligence in carrying out all of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement, and shall be liable to each Fund for
all loss, damage and expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or its
Portfolios resulting from the failure of the Custodian to exercise
such reasonable care and diligence.

(b) Actions Prohibited by Applicable Law, Etc. In no event shall the
Custodian incur liability hereunder if the Custodian or any
Subcustodian or Securities System, or any subcustodian, securities
depository or securities system utilized by any such Subcustodian, or
any nominee of the Custodian or any Subcustodian (individually, a
"Person") is prevented, forbidden or delayed from performing, or omits
to perform, any act or thing which this Agreement provides shall be
performed or omitted to be performed, by reason of: (i) any provision
of any present or future law or regulation or order of the United
States of America, or any state thereof, or of any foreign country, or
political subdivision thereof or of any court of competent
jurisdiction; or (ii) any act of God or war or other similar
circumstance beyond the control of the Custodian, unless, in each
case, such delay or nonperformance is caused by (A) the negligence,
misfeasance or misconduct of the applicable Person, or (B) a
malfunction or failure of equipment operated or utilized by the
applicable Person other than a malfunction or failure beyond such
Person's control and which could not reasonably be anticipated and/or
prevented by such Person.

(c) Mitigation by Custodian. Upon the occurrence of any event which
causes or may cause any loss, damage or expense to any Fund or
Portfolio, (i) the Custodian shall, (ii) the Custodian shall cause any
applicable Domestic Subcustodian or Foreign Subcustodian to, and (iii)
the Custodian shall use its best efforts to cause any applicable
Interim Subcustodian or Special Subcustodian to, use all commercially
reasonable efforts and take all reasonable steps under the
circumstances to mitigate the effects of such event and to avoid
continuing harm to the Funds and the Portfolios.

(d) Advice of Counsel. The Custodian shall be entitled to receive
and act upon advice of counsel on all matters. The Custodian shall be
without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted in good
faith pursuant to the advice of (i) counsel for the applicable Fund or
Funds, or (ii) at the expense of the Custodian, such other counsel as
the applicable Fund(s) and the Custodian may agree upon; provided,
however, with respect to the performance of any action or omission of
any action upon such advice, the Custodian shall be required to
conform to the standard of care set forth in Section 5.01(a).

(e) Expenses of the Funds. In addition to the liability of the
Custodian under this Article V, the Custodian shall be liable to each
applicable Fund for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such
Fund in connection with any claim by such Fund against the Custodian
arising from the obligations of the Custodian hereunder, including,
without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred by such Fund in asserting any such claim, and all expenses
incurred by such Fund in connection with any investigations, lawsuits
or proceedings relating to such claim; provided, that such Fund has
recovered from the Custodian for such claim.

(f) Liability for Past Records. The Custodian shall have no
liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by a
Fund, insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the
performance of the Custodian's duties hereunder by reason of the
Custodian's reliance upon records that were maintained for such Fund
by entities other than the Custodian prior to the Custodian's
appointment as custodian for such Fund.

Section 5.02. Liability of Custodian for Actions of Other Persons.

(a) Domestic Subcustodians and Foreign Subcustodians. The Custodian
shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any Domestic
Subcustodian or any Foreign Subcustodian to the same extent as if such
action or omission were performed by the Custodian itself. In the
event of any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by a Fund
caused by or resulting from the actions or omissions of any Domestic
Subcustodian or Foreign Subcustodian for which the Custodian would
otherwise be liable, the Custodian shall promptly reimburse such Fund
in the amount of any such loss, damage or expense.

(b) Interim Subcustodians. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
5.01 to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be liable to a Fund for
any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or any
of its Portfolios resulting from the actions or omissions of an
Interim Subcustodian unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by,
or results from, the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the
Custodian; provided, however, in the event of any such loss, damage or
expense, the Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to enforce such
rights as it may have against such Interim Subcustodian to protect the
interests of the Funds and the Portfolios.

(c) Special Subcustodians and Additional Custodians. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5.01 to the contrary and except as otherwise
provided in any subcustodian agreement to which the Custodian, a Fund
and any Special Subcustodian or Additional Custodian are parties, the
Custodian shall not be liable to a Fund for any loss, damage or
expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or any of its Portfolios
resulting from the actions or omissions of a Special Subcustodian or
Additional Subcustodian, unless such loss, damage or expense is caused
by, or results from, the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the
Custodian; provided, however, that in the event of any such loss,
damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to
enforce such rights as it may have against any Special Subcustodian or
Additional Custodian to protect the interests of the Funds and the
Portfolios.

(d) Securities Systems. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
5.01 to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be liable to a Fund for
any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by such Fund or any
of its Portfolios resulting from the use by the Custodian of a
Securities System, unless such loss, damage or expense is caused by,
or results from, the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the
Custodian; provided, however, that in the event of any such loss,
damage or expense, the Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to
enforce such rights as it may have against the Securities System to
protect the interests of the Funds and the Portfolios.

(e) Reimbursement of Expenses. Each Fund agrees to reimburse the
Custodian for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Custodian on behalf of such Fund in connection with the fulfillment of
its obligations under this Section 5.02; provided, however, that such
reimbursement shall not apply to expenses occasioned by or resulting
from the negligence, misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian.

Section 5.03. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Obligations. Subject to the limitations set
forth in this Agreement, each Fund severally and not jointly agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian and its nominees from all
loss, damage and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
suffered or incurred by the Custodian or its nominee caused by or
arising from actions taken by the Custodian on behalf of such Fund in
the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that such indemnity shall not apply to loss, damage
and expense occasioned by or resulting from the negligence,
misfeasance or misconduct of the Custodian or its nominee. In
addition, each Fund agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify any
Person against any liability incurred by reason of taxes assessed to
such Person, or other loss, damage or expenses incurred by such
Person, resulting from the fact that securities and other property of
such Fund's Portfolios are registered in the name of such Person;
provided, however, that in no event shall such indemnification be
applicable to income, franchise or similar taxes which may be imposed
or assessed against any Person.

(b) Notice of Litigation, Right to Prosecute, Etc. No Fund shall be
liable for indemnification under this Section 5.03 unless a Person
shall have promptly notified such Fund in writing of the commencement
of any litigation or proceeding brought against such Person in respect
of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 5.03. With
respect to claims in such litigation or proceedings for which
indemnity by a Fund may be sought and subject to applicable law and
the ruling of any court of competent jurisdiction, such Fund shall be
entitled to participate in any such litigation or proceeding and,
after written notice from such Fund to any Person, such Fund may
assume the defense of such litigation or proceeding with counsel of
its choice at its own expense in respect of that portion of the
litigation for which such Fund may be subject to an indemnification
obligation; provided, however, a Person shall be entitled to
participate in (but not control) at its own cost and expense, the
defense of any such litigation or proceeding if such Fund has not
acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Person with
respect to such litigation or proceeding. If such Fund is not
permitted to participate or control such litigation or proceeding
under applicable law or by a ruling of a court of competent
jurisdiction, such Person shall reasonably prosecute such litigation
or proceeding. A Person shall not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement in any such litigation or
proceeding without providing each applicable Fund with adequate notice
of any such settlement or judgment, and without each such Fund's prior
written consent. All Persons shall submit written evidence to each
applicable Fund with respect to any cost or expense for which they are
seeking indemnification in such form and detail as such Fund may
reasonably request.

Section 5.04. Investment Limitations. If the Custodian has
otherwise complied with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in
performing its duties generally, and more particularly in connection
with the purchase, sale or exchange of securities made by or for a
Portfolio, the Custodian shall not be liable to the applicable Fund
and such Fund agrees to indemnify the Custodian and its nominees, for
any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Custodian and
its nominees arising out of any violation of any investment or other
limitation to which such Fund is subject.

Section 5.05. Fund's Right to Proceed. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, each Fund shall have, at its election
upon reasonable notice to the Custodian, the right to enforce, to the
extent permitted by any applicable agreement and applicable law, the
Custodian's rights against any Subcustodian, Securities System, or
other Person for loss, damage or expense caused such Fund by such
Subcustodian, Securities System, or other Person, and shall be
entitled to enforce the rights of the Custodian with respect to any
claim against such Subcustodian, Securities System or other Person,
which the Custodian may have as a consequence of any such loss, damage
or expense, if and to the extent that such Fund has not been made
whole for any such loss or damage. If the Custodian makes such Fund
whole for any such loss or damage, the Custodian shall retain the
ability to enforce its rights directly against such Subcustodian,
Securities System or other Person. Upon such Fund's election to
enforce any rights of the Custodian under this Section 5.05, such Fund
shall reasonably prosecute all actions and proceedings directly
relating to the rights of the Custodian in respect of the loss, damage
or expense incurred by such Fund; provided that, so long as such Fund
has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Custodian
under Section 5.03 hereof with respect to such claim, such Fund shall
retain the right to settle, compromise and/or terminate any action or
proceeding in respect of the loss, damage or expense incurred by such
Fund without the Custodian's consent and provided further, that if
such Fund has not made an acknowledgement of its obligation to
indemnify, such Fund shall not settle, compromise or terminate any
such action or proceeding without the written consent of the
Custodian, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. The Custodian agrees to cooperate with each Fund and take
all actions reasonably requested by such Fund in connection with such
Fund's enforcement of any rights of the Custodian. Each Fund agrees
to reimburse the Custodian for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Custodian on behalf of such Fund in connection with
the fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 5.05; provided,
however, that such reimbursement shall not apply to expenses
occasioned by or resulting from the negligence, misfeasance or
misconduct of the Custodian.

ARTICLE VI

COMPENSATION

On behalf of each of its Portfolios, each Fund shall compensate the
Custodian in an amount, and at such times, as may be agreed upon in
writing, from time to time, by the Custodian and such Fund.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Termination of Agreement as to One or More Funds.
With respect to each Fund, this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect until the first to occur of: (a) termination by the
Custodian by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed to such
Fund, such termination to take effect not sooner than ninety (90) days
after the date of such delivery; (b) termination by such Fund by an
instrument in writing delivered or mailed to the Custodian, such
termination to take effect not sooner than thirty (30) days after the
date of such delivery; or (c) termination by such Fund by written
notice delivered to the Custodian, based upon such Fund's
determination that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the
Custodian is insolvent or that the financial condition of the
Custodian is deteriorating in any material respect, in which case
termination shall take effect upon the Custodian's receipt of such
notice or at such later time as such Fund shall designate. In the
event of termination pursuant to this Section 7.01 by any Fund (a
"Terminating Fund"), each Terminating Fund shall make payment of all
accrued fees and unreimbursed expenses with respect to such
Terminating Fund within a reasonable time following termination and
delivery of a statement to the Terminating Fund setting forth such
fees and expenses. Each Terminating Fund shall identify in any notice
of termination a successor custodian or custodians to which the cash,
securities and other assets of its Portfolios shall, upon termination
of this Agreement with respect to such Terminating Fund, be delivered.
In the event that no written notice designating a successor custodian
shall have been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date when
termination of this Agreement as to a Terminating Fund shall become
effective, the Custodian may deliver to a bank or trust company doing
business in Boston, Massachusetts, of its own selection, having an
aggregate capital, surplus, and undivided profits, as shown by its
last published report, of not less than $25,000,000, all securities
and other assets of such Terminating Fund's Portfolios held by the
Custodian and all instruments held by the Custodian relative thereto
and all other property of the Terminating Fund's Portfolios held by
the Custodian under this Agreement. Thereafter, such bank or trust
company shall be the successor of the Custodian with respect to such
Terminating Fund under this Agreement. In the event that securities
and other assets of such Terminating Fund's Portfolios remain in the
possession of the Custodian after the date of termination hereof with
respect to such Terminating Fund owing to failure of the Terminating
Fund to appoint a successor custodian, the Custodian shall be entitled
to compensation for its services in accordance with the fee schedule
most recently in effect, for such period as the Custodian retains
possession of such securities and other assets, and the provisions of
this Agreement relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian
and the Terminating Fund shall remain in full force and effect. In
the event of the appointment of a successor custodian, it is agreed
that the cash, securities and other property owned by a Terminating
Fund and held by the Custodian, any Subcustodian or nominee shall be
delivered to the successor custodian; and the Custodian agrees to
cooperate with such Terminating Fund in the execution of documents and
performance of other actions necessary or desirable in order to
substitute the successor custodian for the Custodian under this
Agreement.

Section 7.02. Termination as to One or More Portfolios. This
Agreement may be terminated as to one or more of a Fund's Portfolios
(but less than all of its Portfolios) by delivery of an amended
Appendix "A" deleting such Portfolios pursuant to Section 9.05(b)
hereof, in which case termination as to such deleted Portfolios shall
take effect thirty (30) days after the date of such delivery. The
execution and delivery of an amended Appendix "A" which deletes one or
more Portfolios shall constitute a termination of this Agreement only
with respect to such deleted Portfolio(s), shall be governed by the
preceding provisions of Section 7.01 as to the identification of a
successor custodian and the delivery of cash, securities and other
assets of the Portfolio(s) so deleted, and shall not affect the
obligations of the Custodian and any Fund hereunder with respect to
the other Portfolios set forth in Appendix "A," as amended from time
to time.

Dated as of ____________

PROCEDURES RELATING TO CUSTODIAN'S SECURITY INTEREST

As security for any Overdrafts (as defined in the Custodian
Agreement) of any Portfolio, the applicable Fund, on behalf of such
Portfolio, shall pledge, assign and grant to the Custodian a security
interest in Collateral (as hereinafter defined), under the terms,
circumstances and conditions set forth in this Appendix "C".

Section 1. Defined Terms. As used in this Appendix "C" the
following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) "Business Day" shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, a
Sunday or a day on which the Custodian is closed for business.

(b) "Collateral" shall mean, with respect to any Portfolio,
securities held by the Custodian on behalf of the Portfolio having a
fair market value (as determined in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the prospectus for the Portfolio) equal to the aggregate of
all Overdraft Obligations of such Portfolio: (i) identified in any
Pledge Certificate executed on behalf of such Portfolio; or (ii)
designated by the Custodian for such Portfolio pursuant to Section 3
of this Appendix C. Such securities shall consist of marketable
securities held by the Custodian on behalf of such Portfolio or, if no
such marketable securities are held by the Custodian on behalf of such
Portfolio, such other securities designated by the applicable Fund in
the applicable Pledge Certificate or by the Custodian pursuant to
Section 3 of this Appendix C.

(c) "Overdraft Obligations" shall mean, with respect to any
Portfolio, the amount of any outstanding Overdraft(s) provided by the
Custodian to such Portfolio together with all accrued interest
thereon.

(d) "Pledge Certificate" shall mean a Pledge Certificate in the form
attached to this Appendix "C" as Schedule 1 executed by a duly
authorized officer of the applicable Fund and delivered by such Fund
to the Custodian by facsimile transmission or in such other manner as
the applicable Fund and the Custodian may agree in writing.

(e) "Release Certificate" shall mean a Release Certificate in the
form attached to this Appendix "C" as Schedule 2 executed by a duly
authorized officer of the Custodian and delivered by the Custodian to
the applicable Fund by facsimile transmission or in such other manner
as such Fund and the Custodian may agree in writing.

(f) "Written Notice" shall mean a written notice executed by a duly
authorized officer of the party delivering the notice and delivered by
facsimile transmission or in such other manner as the applicable Fund
and the Custodian shall agree in writing.

Section 2. Pledge of Collateral. To the extent that any Overdraft
Obligations of a Portfolio are not satisfied by the close of business
on the first Business Day following the Business Day on which the
applicable Fund receives Written Notice requesting security for such
Overdraft Obligation and stating the amount of such Overdraft
Obligation, the applicable Fund, on behalf of such Portfolio, shall
pledge, assign and grant to the Custodian a first priority security
interest, by delivering to the Custodian, a Pledge Certificate
executed by such Fund on behalf of such Portfolio describing the
applicable Collateral. Such Written Notice may, in the discretion of
the Custodian, be included within or accompany the Overdraft Notice
relating to the applicable Overdraft Obligations.

Section 3. Failure to Pledge Collateral. In the event that the
applicable Fund shall fail: (a) to pay, on behalf of the applicable
Portfolio, the Overdraft Obligation described in such Written Notice;
(b) to deliver to the Custodian a Pledge Certificate pursuant to
Section 2; or (c) to identify substitute securities pursuant to
Section 6 upon the sale or maturity of any securities identified as
Collateral, the Custodian may, by Written Notice to the applicable
Fund specify Collateral which shall secure the applicable Overdraft
Obligation. Such Fund, on behalf of any applicable Portfolio, hereby
pledges, assigns and grants to the Custodian a first priority security
interest in any and all Collateral specified in such Written Notice;
provided that such pledge, assignment and grant of security shall be
deemed to be effective only upon receipt by the applicable Fund of
such Written Notice.

Section 4. Delivery of Additional Collateral. If at any time the
Custodian shall notify a Fund by Written Notice that the fair market
value of the Collateral securing any Overdraft Obligation of one of
such Fund's Portfolios is less than the amount of such Overdraft
Obligation, such Fund, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, shall
deliver to the Custodian, within one (1) Business Day following the
Fund's receipt of such Written Notice, an additional Pledge
Certificate describing additional Collateral. If such Fund shall fail
to deliver such additional Pledge Certificate, the Custodian may
specify Collateral which shall secure the unsecured amount of the
applicable Overdraft Obligation in accordance with Section 3 of this
Appendix C.

Section 5. Release of Collateral. Upon payment by a Fund, on behalf
of one of its Portfolios, of any Overdraft Obligation secured by the
pledge of Collateral, the Custodian shall promptly deliver to such
Fund a Release Certificate pursuant to which the Custodian shall
release Collateral from the lien under the applicable Pledge
Certificate or Written Notice pursuant to Section 3 having a fair
market value equal to the amount paid by such Fund on account of such
Overdraft Obligation. In addition, if at any time a Fund shall notify
the Custodian by Written Notice that such Fund desires that specified
Collateral be released and: (a) that the fair market value of the
Collateral securing any Overdraft Obligation shall exceed the amount
of such Overdraft Obligation; or (b) that the Fund has delivered a
Pledge Certificate substituting Collateral for such Overdraft
Obligation, the Custodian shall deliver to such Fund, within one (1)
Business Day following the Custodian's receipt of such Written Notice,
a Release Certificate relating to the Collateral specified in such
Written Notice.

Section 6. Substitution of Collateral. A Fund may substitute
securities for any securities identified as Collateral by delivery to
the Custodian of a Pledge Certificate executed by such Fund on behalf
of the applicable Portfolio, indicating the securities pledged as
Collateral.

Section 7. Security for Individual Portfolios' Overdraft
Obligations. The pledge of Collateral by a Fund on behalf of any of
its individual Portfolios shall secure only the Overdraft Obligations
of such Portfolio. In no event shall the pledge of Collateral by one
of a Fund's Portfolios be deemed or considered to be security for the
Overdraft Obligations of any other Portfolio of such Fund or of any
other Fund.

Section 8. Custodian's Remedies. Upon (a) a Fund's failure to pay
any Overdraft Obligation of an applicable Portfolio within thirty (30)
days after receipt by such Fund of a Written Notice demanding security
therefore, and (b) one (1) Business Day's prior Written Notice to such
Fund, the Custodian may elect to enforce its security interest in the
Collateral securing such Overdraft Obligation, by taking title to (at
the then prevailing fair market value), or selling in a commercially
reasonable manner, so much of the Collateral as shall be required to
pay such Overdraft Obligation in full. Notwithstanding the provisions
of any applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform
Commercial Code, the remedy set forth in the preceding sentence shall
be the only right or remedy to which the Custodian is entitled with
respect to the pledge and security interest granted pursuant to any
Pledge Certificate or Section 3. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Custodian hereby waives and relinquishes all contractual and common
law rights of set off to which it may now or hereafter be or become
entitled with respect to any obligations of any Fund to the Custodian
arising under this Appendix "C" to the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Appendix to
be executed in its name and behalf on the day and year first above
written.

listed on Appendix "A" attached thereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement shall serve as an addendum to the Custodian
Agreement (the "Custodian Agreement"), effective as of August 1, 1994,
between The Chase Manhattan Bank (the "Custodian") and each of the
Investment Companies listed on Appendix "A" attached thereto, as the
same may be amended from time to time (each a "Fund" and collectively,
the "Funds"), on behalf of each of their respective series portfolios
listed on such Appendix "A" (each a "Portfolio" and collectively, the
"Portfolios"). This Addendum shall also apply to any future Fund or
Portfolio added to Appendix A in accordance with the terms of the
Custodian Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings specified in the Custodian Agreement.

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 16, 1996, each Portfolio may invest up to 25% of
its total net assets in shares of certain other open-end mutual funds
(the "Central Funds") managed by Fidelity Management & Research
Company ("FMR") or its affiliates or successors. The Funds, on behalf
of each of their respective Portfolios, and the Custodian hereby agree
that the Custodian shall maintain custody of the Portfolios'
investments in Central Fund shares in accordance with the following
provisions:

1. Manner of Holding Central Fund Shares. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 2.02 of the Custodian Agreement, the Custodian
is hereby authorized to maintain the shares of the Central Funds owned
by the Portfolios in book entry form directly with the transfer agent
or a designated sub-transfer agent of each such Central Fund (a
"Central Fund Transfer Agent"), subject to and in accordance with the
following provisions:

a. Such Central Fund shares shall be maintained in separate
custodian accounts for each such Portfolio in the Custodian's name or
Custodian's nominee, as custodian for such Portfolio.

b. The Custodian will implement written procedures (the "Control
Procedures") to ensure that (i) only authorized personnel of the
Custodian will be authorized to give instructions to a Central Fund
Transfer Agent in connection with a Portfolio's purchase or sale of
Central Fund shares, (ii) that trade instructions sent to a Central
Fund Transfer Agent are properly acknowledged by the Central Fund
Transfer Agent, and (iii) the Central Fund Transfer Agent's records of
each Portfolio's holdings of Central Fund shares are properly
reconciled with the Custodian's records.

2. Purchases of Central Fund Shares. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2.03 of the Custodian Agreement, upon receipt of Proper
Instructions, the Custodian shall pay for and receive Central Fund
shares purchased for the account of a Portfolio, provided that (i) the
Custodian shall only send instructions to purchase such shares to the
Central Fund's transfer agent in accordance with the Control
Procedures ("Purchase Instructions") upon receipt of Proper
Instructions from FMR's trading operations, and (ii) the Custodian
shall release funds to the Central Fund Transfer Agent only after
receiving acknowledgment from the Central Fund Transfer Agent that it
has received the Purchase Instructions.

3. Sales of Underlying Fund Shares. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 2.05 of the Custodian Agreement, upon receipt of Proper
Instructions, the Custodian shall release Central Fund shares sold for
the account of a Portfolio, provided that (i) the Custodian shall only
send instructions to sell such shares to the Central Fund Transfer
Agent in accordance with the Control Procedures ("Sell Instructions")
upon receipt of Proper Instructions from FMR's trading operations, and
(ii) such Sell Instructions shall be properly confirmed by the Central
Fund Transfer Agent.

4. Fee Schedule. Notwithstanding the provisions of the fee schedule
currently in effect pursuant to Article VI of the Custodian Agreement,
the Custodian will charge each Portfolio $5.00 for each transaction in
Central Fund shares by such Portfolio. Such $5.00 transaction fees
will cover all services (including corresponding wire transfers) to be
performed by the Custodian in connection with transactions in Central
Fund shares by the Portfolios. All other account activity by the
Portfolios will be charged in accordance with the fee schedule in
effect from time to time in accordance with the terms of Article VI of
the Custodian Agreement, provided that, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Custodian will not charge any Asset Fee
with respect to the assets of the Portfolios invested in the Central
Funds.

5. Other Provisions of the Custodian Agreement Remain in Effect.
The terms of this Addendum apply solely to shares of the Central Funds
held in custody by the Custodian on behalf of the Portfolios.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Addendum shall
have no force or effect upon the terms and conditions of the Custodian
Agreement, except to the extent such terms and conditions are
expressly modified or supplemented by the provisions of this Addendum
in respect of shares of the Central Funds held by the Portfolios.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please execute the
enclosed counterpart to this letter and return it to the undersigned,
whereupon this letter shall become an binding Addendum to the
Custodian Agreement, enforceable by the Custodian and the Fund in
accordance with its terms.

Participating Funds in the Securities and Cash Collateral.

(c) Any requirement to "deliver" or "transfer" cash or Cash

made in immediately available funds. If Repo Custodian is required to
"deliver" or "transfer" Securities to the Participating Funds under
this or any other paragraph of this Agreement, Repo Custodian shall
take, or cause to be taken, the following actions to perfect the
Participating Funds' interest in such Securities as an outright
purchaser: (i) in the case of certificated securities and instruments
held by Seller, by physical delivery of the share certificates or
other instruments representing the Securities and by physical
segregation of such certificates or instruments from the Repo
Custodian's other assets in a manner indicating that the Securities
are being held for the Participating Funds (such securities and
instruments to be delivered in form suitable for transfer or
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in
blank and accompanied by such other documentation as the Participating
Funds may request), (ii) in the case of Securities held in a customer
only account in a clearing agency or federal book-entry system
authorized for use by the Funds and meeting the requirements of Rule
17f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act") (such authorized agency or system being referred to herein as a
"Securities System"), by appropriate entry on the books and records of
Repo Custodian identifying the Securities as belonging to the
Participating Funds, or (iii) in the case of Securities held in Repo
Custodian's own account in a Securities System, by transfer to a
customer only account in the Securities System and by appropriate
entry on the books and records of Repo Custodian identifying such
Securities as belonging to the Participating Funds; provided, further,
that Repo Custodian shall confirm to the Participating Funds the
identity of the Securities transferred or delivered. Acceptance of a
"due bill", "trust receipt" or similar receipt or notification of
segregation issued by a third party with respect to Securities held by
such third party shall not constitute good delivery of Securities to
Repo Custodian for purposes of this Agreement or the Master Agreement
and shall expressly violate the terms of this Agreement and the Master
Agreement. The Funds shall identify by notice to Repo Custodian and
Seller those agencies or systems which have been approved by the Funds
for use under this Agreement and the Master Agreement. The Funds
hereby notify Repo Custodian and Seller that the following agencies
and systems have been approved by the Funds for use under this
Agreement and the Master Agreement, until such time as Repo Custodian
and Seller shall have been notified by the Funds to the contrary: (i)
Participants Trust Company; (ii) The Depository Trust Company; and
(iii) any book-entry system as provided in (A) Subpart O of Treasury
Circular No. 300, 31 CFR 306.115, (B) Subpart B of Treasury Circular
Public Debt Series No. 27-76, 31 CFR 350.2, or (C) the book-entry
regulations of federal agencies substantially in the form of 31 CFR
306.115.

4. Repurchase Transactions.

(a) Repo Custodian shall make all credits and debits to the
Transaction Account and effect the transfer of Securities to or from
the Participating Funds upon proper instructions received from the
Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating
Funds, and shall make all credits and debits to the Seller Account and
effect the transfer of Securities to or from the Seller upon proper
instructions received from Seller. In the event that Repo Custodian
receives conflicting proper instructions from Seller and the
Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating
Funds, Repo Custodian shall follow the Participating Funds' or the
Custodian's proper instructions. The Participating Funds shall give
Repo Custodian only such instructions as shall be permitted by the
Master Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating
Funds, may from time to time instruct Repo Custodian to transfer cash
from the Transaction Account to Custodian.

(b) (i) Whenever on any Banking Day one or more Funds and Seller agree
to enter into a repurchase transaction, Seller and the Participating
Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, will
give Repo Custodian proper instructions by telephone or otherwise on
the Sale Date, specifying the Transaction Category, Repurchase Date,
Sale Price, Repurchase Price or the applicable Pricing Rate and the
Margin Percentage for each such repurchase transaction.

(ii) In the case of repurchase transactions in which the Repurchase
Date is the Banking Day next following the Sale Date (x) the
Participating Funds may increase or decrease the Sale Price for any
such repurchase transaction by no more than 10% of the initial Sale
Price by causing to be delivered further proper instructions by
telephone or otherwise to Repo Custodian prior to the close of
business on the Sale Date and (y) Seller and the Participating Funds
may by mutual consent agree to increase or decrease the Sale Price by
more than 10% of the initial Sale Price by causing to be provided
further proper instructions to Repo Custodian by the close of business
on the Sale Date. In any event, Repo Custodian shall not be
responsible for determining whether any such increase or decrease of
the Sale Price exceeds the 10% limitation.

(c) Seller will take such actions as are necessary to ensure that on
the Sale Date the aggregate Market Value of all Securities held by
Repo Custodian for Seller and cash in the Seller Account equals or
exceeds the Margin Percentage of the Sale Price. Seller shall give
Repo Custodian proper instructions specifying with respect to each of
the Securities which is to be the subject of a repurchase transaction
(a) the name of the issuer and the title of the Securities, and (b)
the Market Value of such Securities. Such instructions shall
constitute Seller's instructions to Repo Custodian to transfer the
Securities to the Participating Funds and/or Cash Collateral from the
Seller Account to the Transaction Account.

(d) Prior to the close of business on the Sale Date, the
Participating Funds shall transfer to, or maintain on deposit with,
Repo Custodian in the Transaction Account immediately available funds
in an amount equal to the Sale Price with respect to a particular
repurchase transaction.

(e) Prior to the close of business on the Sale Date, Repo Custodian
shall transfer Securities from Seller to the Participating Funds
and/or cash held in the Seller Account to the Transaction Account and
shall transfer to the Seller Account immediately available funds from
the Transaction Account in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Repo Custodian shall determine that all securities to be
transferred by Seller to the Participating Funds are Eligible
Securities. Any securities which are not Eligible Securities for a
particular repurchase transaction hereunder shall not be included in
the calculations set forth below and shall not be transferred to the
Participating Funds.

(ii) Repo Custodian shall then calculate the aggregate Market Value
of the Securities and cash, if any, to be so transferred.

(iii) Repo Custodian shall notify Seller in the event that the
aggregate Market Value of Securities and cash, if any, applicable to
the repurchase transaction is less than the Margin Percentage of the
Sale Price and Seller shall transfer, by the close of business on the
Sale Date, to Repo Custodian additional Securities and/or cash in the
amount of such deficiency. If Seller does not, by the close of
business on the Sale Date, transfer additional Securities and/or cash,
the Market Value of which equals or exceeds such deficiency, Repo
Custodian may, at its option, without notice to Seller, advance the
amount of such deficiency to Seller in order to effectuate the
repurchase transaction. It is expressly agreed that Repo Custodian is
not obligated to make an advance to Seller to enable it to complete
any repurchase transaction.

(iv) Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph (v) below, Repo
Custodian shall cause the Securities applicable to the repurchase
transaction received from Seller to be transferred to the
Participating Funds and shall cause any cash received from Seller to
be transferred to the Transaction Account, against transfer of the
Sale Price from the Transaction Account to the Seller Account, such
transfers of Securities and/or cash and funds to occur simultaneously
on a delivery versus payment basis.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if, for any repurchase
transaction, the amount of immediately available funds in the
Transaction Account is less than the agreed upon Sale Price in
connection with the repurchase transaction immediately prior to
effectuating such repurchase transaction, or if the aggregate Market
Value of the Securities and cash, if any, applicable to such
repurchase transaction is less than the Sale Price multiplied by the
Margin Percentage immediately prior to effectuating such repurchase
transaction, Repo Custodian shall effect the repurchase transaction to
the best of its ability by transferring Securities from Seller to the
Participating Funds and/or cash from the Seller Account to the
Transaction Account with an aggregate Market Value equal to the lesser
of (x) the amount of immediately available funds in the Transaction
Account multiplied by the Margin Percentage and (y) the aggregate
Market Value of the Securities available for transfer from Seller to
the Participating Funds and cash, if any, in the Seller Account,
against the transfer of immediately available funds from the
Transaction Account to the Seller Account in an amount equal to the
aggregate Market Value of the Securities and/or cash to be transferred
divided by the Margin Percentage; provided, however, that in either
such event Repo Custodian shall have the right not to transfer to the
Participating Funds such Securities and not to transfer such cash, if
any, to the Transaction Account and not to transfer from the
designated Transaction Account such funds as Repo Custodian
determines, in its sole discretion, will not be the subject of a
repurchase transaction. The actions of Repo Custodian pursuant to
this subparagraph (e)(v) shall not affect the obligations and
liabilities of the parties to each other pursuant to the Master
Agreement with regard to such repurchase transaction.

(f) In the event that on a Banking Day Seller desires to substitute
Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction with Eligible
Securities and/or Cash Collateral (to the extent provided in the
Master Agreement), Repo Custodian shall perform such substitution in
accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Repo Custodian shall determine that all securities to be
transferred to the Participating Funds are Eligible Securities. Any
securities which are not eligible for repurchase transactions
hereunder shall not be included in the calculations set forth below
and shall not be transferred to the Participating Funds.

(ii) Repo Custodian shall then calculate the aggregate Market Value
of the Eligible Securities and/or Cash Collateral to be transferred.
Repo Custodian shall not make any substitution if, at the time of
substitution, the aggregate Market Value of all Securities and any
Cash Collateral applicable to such repurchase transaction immediately
after such substitution would be less than the Margin Percentage of
the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were the
date of substitution).

(iii) Repo Custodian shall then deliver to the Seller, subject to the
qualifications set forth above, the Securities to be substituted
against the delivery by Repo Custodian of substitute Eligible
Securities to the Participating Funds and/or the crediting of the
Transaction Account with Cash Collateral.

(iv) In the event Seller has caused Repo Custodian to credit the
Transaction Account with Cash Collateral in lieu of substitute
Eligible Securities, and has failed to deliver Eligible Securities
against such Cash Collateral not later than the close of business on
such Banking Day in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreement,
Repo Custodian shall promptly, but in no event later than 10:00 a.m.
the following Banking Day, notify the Participating Funds and Seller
of such failure.

(g) With respect to each repurchase transaction, at 10:00 a.m. New
York time, or at such other time as specified in proper instructions
of the Participating Funds (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Participating Funds) on the Repurchase Date, Repo Custodian shall
debit the Seller Account and credit the Transaction Account in the
amount of the Repurchase Price and shall transfer Securities from the
Participating Funds to the Seller and Cash Collateral, if any, from
the Transaction Account to the Seller Account in accordance with the
following provisions:

(i) If the amount of available funds in the Seller Account equals or
exceeds the Repurchase Price, Repo Custodian shall debit the Seller
Account and credit the Transaction Account in the amount of the
Repurchase Price and shall transfer all Securities applicable to such
repurchase transaction from the Participating Funds to the Seller and
debit the Transaction Account and credit the Seller Account in the
amount of any Cash Collateral applicable to such repurchase
transaction.

(ii) If the amount of available funds in the Seller Account is less
than the Repurchase Price, then Repo Custodian shall notify the Seller
of the amount of the deficiency and Seller shall promptly cause such
amount to be transferred to the Seller Account. If Seller fails to
cause the transfer of the entire amount of the deficiency to the
Seller Account, then Repo Custodian may, at its option and without
notice to Seller, advance to Seller the amount of such remaining
deficiency. It is expressly agreed that Repo Custodian is not
obligated to make any advance to Seller. If, following such transfer
and/or advance, the amount of available funds in the Seller Account
equals or exceeds the Repurchase Price then Repo Custodian shall debit
the Seller Account and credit the Transaction Account in the amount of
the Repurchase Price and shall transfer from the Participating Funds
to the Seller all Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction
and debit the Transaction Account and credit the Seller Account in the
amount of any Cash Collateral applicable to such repurchase
transaction.

(iii) If the Seller fails to cause the transfer of the entire amount
of the deficiency, as required by (ii) above, and Repo Custodian fails
to advance to Seller an amount sufficient to eliminate the entire
deficiency, then Repo Custodian shall debit the Seller Account in the
amount of all immediately available funds designated by Seller as
applicable to the repurchase transaction and credit the Transaction
Account in such amount (such amount being referred to as the "Partial
Payment") and shall transfer Securities from the Participating Funds
to the Seller such that the aggregate Market Value of all remaining
Securities and Cash Collateral in the Transaction Account with respect
to such repurchase transaction shall at least equal the difference
between Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price and the Partial
Payment.

5. Payments on Securities. Repo Custodian shall credit to the Seller
Account as soon as received, all principal, interest and other sums
paid by or on behalf of the issuer in respect of the Securities and
collected by Repo Custodian, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph
8 of the Master Agreement.

6. Daily Statement. On each Banking Day on which any Participating
Funds have an outstanding repurchase transaction, Repo Custodian shall
deliver by facsimile to Custodian and to the Participating Funds a
statement identifying the Securities held by Repo Custodian with
respect to such repurchase transaction and the cash and Cash
Collateral, if any, held by Repo Custodian in the Transaction Account,
including a statement of the then current Market Value of such
Securities and the amounts, if any, credited to the Transaction
Account as of the close of trading on the previous Banking Day. Repo
Custodian shall also deliver to Custodian and the Participating Funds
such additional statements as the Participating Funds may reasonably
request.

7. Valuation.

(a) Repo Custodian shall confirm the Market Value of Securities and
the amount of Cash Collateral, if any (i) on the Sale Date prior to
transferring the Sale Price out of the Transaction Account to the
Seller Account against the receipt from Seller of the Securities and
Cash Collateral, if any, and (ii) on each Banking Day on which such
repurchase transaction is outstanding. If on any Banking Day the
aggregate Market Value of the Securities and Cash Collateral with
respect to any repurchase transaction is less than the Margin
Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase
Date were such Banking Day) for such transaction, Repo Custodian shall
promptly, but in any case no later than 10:00 a.m. the following
Banking Day, notify Seller. If on any Banking Day the aggregate
market value of the Securities and Cash Collateral with respect to any
repurchase transaction is less than the Margin Percentage of the
Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such
Banking Day) for such transaction, and Seller fails to deliver
additional Eligible Securities applicable to such repurchase
transaction or an additional amount of Cash Collateral by the close of
business on such Banking Day such that the aggregate market value of
the Securities and Cash Collateral at least equals the Margin
Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase
Date were such Banking Day), Repo Custodian shall promptly, but in any
event no later than 10:00 a.m. the following Banking Day, notify the
Participating Funds of such failure. For purposes of determining
Seller's margin maintenance requirements on the Sale Date for
repurchase transactions in which the Repurchase Date is the Banking
Day immediately following the Sale Date, such aggregate market value
shall equal at least the Margin Percentage of the Sale Price.

(b) Repo Custodian shall determine the bid side portion of the Market
Value of the Securities by reference to the independent pricing
services ("Pricing Services") set forth on Schedule B. It is
understood and agreed that Repo Custodian shall use the prices made
available by the Pricing Services on the Banking Day of such
determination unless Seller and the Participating Funds mutually agree
that some other prices shall be used and so notify Repo Custodian by
proper instructions of the sum of the prices of all such Securities
priced in such different manner. In the event that Repo Custodian is
unable to obtain a valuation of any Securities from the Pricing
Services, Repo Custodian shall request a bid quotation from a broker's
broker or a broker dealer, set forth in Schedule B, other than Seller.
In the event Repo Custodian is unable to obtain a bid quotation for
any Securities from such a broker's broker or a broker dealer, Repo
Custodian (i) shall not include any such Securities in the
determination of whether the aggregate Market Value of the Securities
and any Cash Collateral equals at least the Margin Percentage of the
Repurchase Price and (ii) shall redeliver such Securities to Seller if
the Market Value of all other Securities and any Cash Collateral with
respect to such repurchase transaction equals at least the Margin
Percentage of the Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase
Date were such Banking Day). The Repo Custodian may rely on prices
quoted by Pricing Services, broker's brokers or broker dealers, except
Seller, as set forth in Schedule B.

(c) (i) If, on any Banking Day, the aggregate Market Value of the
Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to a repurchase
transaction is less than the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price
(calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day)
applicable to such repurchase transaction, Repo Custodian shall
deliver to the Participating Funds an amount of additional Eligible
Securities applicable to such repurchase transaction and/or debit the
Seller Account and credit the Transaction Account with an additional
amount of Cash Collateral, such that the aggregate Market Value of all
Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to such repurchase
transaction shall equal at least the Margin Percentage of the
Repurchase Price (calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such
Banking Day) applicable to such repurchase transaction; except that,
for purposes of determining Seller's margin maintenance requirements
on the Sale Date for repurchase transactions in which the Repurchase
Date is the Banking Day immediately following the Sale Date, such
aggregate market value shall equal at least the Margin Percentage of
the Sale Price.

(ii) If, on any Banking Day, the aggregate Market Value of the
Securities and any Cash Collateral with respect to a repurchase
transaction exceeds the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price
(calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day)
applicable to such repurchase transaction, Repo Custodian shall return
to the Seller all or a portion of such Securities or Cash Collateral,
if any; provided that the Market Value of the remaining Securities and
any Cash Collateral with respect to the repurchase transaction shall
be at least equal to the Margin Percentage of the Repurchase Price
(calculated as if the Repurchase Date were such Banking Day)
applicable to such repurchase transaction. At any time and from time
to time with respect to any repurchase transaction, if authorized by
the Participating Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the
Participating Funds, the Repo Custodian shall debit the Transaction
Account by an amount of Cash Collateral and credit the Seller Account
by the same amount of Cash Collateral against simultaneous delivery
from Seller to the Participating Funds of Eligible Securities
applicable to such repurchase transaction with a Market Value at least
equal to the amount of Cash Collateral credited and debited.

8. Authorized Persons. Schedule C hereto sets forth those persons
who are authorized to act for Repo Custodian, Custodian, Seller and
the Funds, respectively, under this Agreement.

9. Proper Instructions. Proper instructions shall mean a tested
telex, facsimile, a written request, direction, instruction or
certification signed or initialed by or on behalf of the party giving
the instructions by one or more authorized persons (as provided in
Paragraph 8); provided, however, that no instructions directing the
delivery of Securities or the payment of funds to any individual who
is an authorized signatory of Custodian or Repo Custodian shall be
signed by that individual. Telephonic, other oral or
electro-mechanical or electronic instructions (including the code
which may be assigned by Repo Custodian to Custodian from time to
time) given by one of the above authorized persons shall also be
considered proper instructions if the party receiving such
instructions reasonably believes them to have been given by an
authorized person with respect to the transaction involved. Oral
instructions will be confirmed by tested telex, facsimile or in
writing in the manner set forth above. The Funds authorize Repo
Custodian to tape record any and all telephonic or other oral
instructions given to Repo Custodian. Proper instructions may relate
to specific transactions or to types or classes of transactions, and
may be in the form of standing instructions.

10. Standard of Care.

(a) Repo Custodian shall be obligated to exercise reasonable care and
diligence in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and the
Master Agreement and shall be liable to each of the Funds and Seller
for any expenses or damages to the Funds or Seller for breach of Repo
Custodian's standard of care in this Agreement, as further provided in
this Paragraph. Repo Custodian assumes responsibility for loss to any
property held by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement which
is occasioned by the negligence of, or conversion, misappropriation or
theft by, Repo Custodian's officers, employees and agents. Repo
Custodian, at its option, may insure itself against loss from any
cause but shall be under no obligation to obtain insurance directly
for the benefit of the Funds. So long as and to the extent that Repo
Custodian exercises reasonable care and diligence and acts without
negligence, misfeasance or misconduct, Repo Custodian shall not be
liable to Seller or the Funds for (i) any action taken or omitted in
good faith in reliance upon proper instructions, (ii) any action taken
or omitted in good faith upon any notice, request, certificate or
other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to be
signed by the proper party or parties, (iii) any delay or failure to
act as may be required under this Agreement or under the Master
Agreement when such delay or failure is due to any act of God or war,
(iv) the actions or omissions of a Securities System, (v) the title,
validity or genuineness of any security received, delivered or held by
it pursuant to this Agreement or the Master Agreement, (vi) the
legality of the purchase or sale of any Securities by or to the
Participating Funds or Seller or the propriety of the amount for which
the same are purchased or sold (except to the extent of Repo
Custodian's obligations hereunder to determine whether securities are
Eligible Securities and to calculate the Market Value of Securities
and any Cash Collateral), (vii) the due authority of any person listed
on Schedule C to act on behalf of Custodian, Seller or the Funds, as

money to be used in a repurchase transaction, whether or not such
money is represented by any check, draft, or other instrument for the
payment of money, until the Eligible Securities have been delivered in
accordance with Paragraph 3 or until Repo Custodian actually receives
and collects such money on behalf of Seller or the Funds directly or
by the final crediting of the Seller Account or a Transaction Account
through the Securities System, except that this Paragraph 10(b) shall
not be deemed to limit the liability of Repo Custodian to Seller or
the Funds if the non-delivery of such Eligible Securities or the
failure to receive and collect such money results from the breach by
Repo Custodian of its obligations under this Agreement or the Master
Agreement.

(c) Repo Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to
ascertain whether any Securities at any time delivered to or held by
it are such as properly may be held by the Participating Funds;
provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Repo
Custodian shall be obligated to act in accordance with the guidelines
and proper instructions of the Participating Funds, or the Custodian
on behalf of the Participating Funds, with respect to the types of
Eligible Securities and the issuers of such Eligible Securities that
may be used in specific repurchase transactions.

(d) Repo Custodian promptly shall notify the Fund Agent and the
Custodian if Securities held by Repo Custodian are in default or if
payment on any Securities has been refused after due demand and
presentation and Repo Custodian shall take action to effect collection
of any such amounts upon the proper instructions of the Participating
Funds, or the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Funds, and
assurances satisfactory to it that it will be reimbursed for its costs
and expenses in connection with any such action.

(e) Repo Custodian shall have no duties, other than such duties as
are necessary to effectuate repurchase transactions in accordance with
this Agreement and the Master Agreement within the standard of care
set forth in Paragraph 10(a) above and in a commercially reasonable
manner.

12. Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding the Participating Fund's obligation to the Repo
Custodian under Paragraph 12(b) below, so long as and to the extent
that Repo Custodian is in the exercise of reasonable care and
diligence and acts without negligence, misfeasance or misconduct,
Seller will indemnify Repo Custodian and hold it harmless against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions to which it
may become subject, and reimburse it for any expenses (including
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection therewith,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise
out of or are based upon or in any way related to this Agreement, the
Master Agreement or those arrangements. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing indemnification, Repo Custodian shall be
indemnified by Seller for all costs and expenses, including attorneys'
fees, for its successful defense against claims that Repo Custodian

misfeasance or misconduct.

(b) So long as and to the extent that Repo Custodian is in the
exercise of reasonable care and diligence and acts without negligence,
misconduct or misfeasance, the Participating Funds will indemnify Repo
Custodian and hold it harmless against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions to which it may become subject, and
reimburse it for any expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by it in connection therewith, insofar as such losses,

misconduct or misfeasance of the Participating Funds under this
Agreement.

13. Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies conferred upon the
parties hereto shall be cumulative, and the exercise or waiver of any
thereof shall not preclude or inhibit the exercise of any additional
rights and remedies.

14. Modification or Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in this
Paragraph 14, no modification, waiver or amendment of this Agreement
shall be binding unless in writing and executed by the parties hereto.
Schedule A, listing the Funds, may be amended from time to time to add
or delete Funds by the Funds (i) delivering an executed copy of an
addendum to Schedule A to Seller and Repo Custodian, and (ii)
amending Schedule A to the Master Agreement in accordance with the
provisions therein. The amendment of Schedule A as provided above
shall constitute appointment of Repo Custodian as a custodian for such
Fund. Schedule B may be amended from time to time by an instrument in
writing, or counterpart thereof, executed by Repo Custodian, Seller
and the Funds. Schedule C may be amended from time to time to change
an authorized person of: (i) the Funds, by written notice to Repo

D may be amended from time to time by any party hereto by delivery of
written notice to the other parties hereto. Repo Custodian shall
receive notice of any amendment to the Master Agreement at the address
set forth in Schedule D hereto; and, if such amendment would have a
material adverse effect on the rights of, or would materially increase
the obligations of Repo Custodian under this Agreement, any such
amendment shall also require the consent of Repo Custodian. Any such
amendment shall be deemed not to be material if Repo Custodian fails
to object in writing within 21 days after receipt of notice thereof.
No amendment to this Agreement shall affect the rights or obligations
of any Fund with respect to any outstanding repurchase transaction
entered into under this Agreement and the Master Agreement prior to
such amendment or with respect to any actions or omissions by any
party hereto prior to such amendment. In the event of conflict
between this Agreement and the Master Agreement, the Master Agreement
shall control.

15. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate forthwith upon
termination of the Master Agreement or may be terminated by any party
hereto on ten Banking Days' written notice to the other parties;
provided, however, that any such termination shall not affect any
repurchase transaction then outstanding or any rights or obligations
under this Agreement or the Master Agreement with respect to any
actions or omissions of any party hereto prior to termination. In the
event of termination, Repo Custodian will deliver any Securities, Cash
Collateral or cash held by it or any agent to Custodian or to such
successor custodian or custodian or subcustodian as the Participating
Funds shall instruct.

for the services to be rendered hereunder, based upon rates which
shall be agreed upon from time to time.

except as otherwise provided herein or as the parties to the Agreement
shall from time to time otherwise agree, all instructions, notices,
reports and other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall
be given to the party entitled to receive such notice at the telephone
number and address listed on Schedule D hereto.

18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable as a matter of law, the other terms and provisions
hereof shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force
and effect.

19. Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and
assignees; provided that, no party hereto may assign this Agreement or
any of the rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other parties.

20. Headings. Section headings are for reference purposes only and
shall not be construed as a part of this Agreement.

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one
instrument.

22. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

23. Limitation of Liability. Seller is hereby expressly put on
notice that the Declarations of Trust or the Certificates and
Agreements of Limited Partnership, as the case may be, of each
Participating Fund contain a limitation of liability provision
pursuant to which the obligations assumed by such Participating Fund
hereunder shall be limited in all cases to such Participating Fund and
its assets or, in the case of a series Fund, to the assets of that
series only, and neither Seller nor its respective agents or assigns
shall seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the officers,
employees, agents, directors, trustees, shareholders or partners of
any such Participating Fund or series.

24. Rights and Obligations of Each Fund. The rights and obligations
set forth in this Agreement with respect to each repurchase
transaction shall accrue only to the Participating Funds in accordance
with their respective interests therein. No other Fund shall receive
any rights or have any liabilities arising from any action or inaction
of any Participating Fund under this Agreement with respect to such
repurchase transaction.

25. General Provisions. This Agreement supersedes any other
custodian agreement by and among Seller, the Funds, and Repo Custodian
concerning repurchase transactions effected through the Joint Trading
Account. It is understood and agreed that time is of the essence with
respect to the performance of each party's respective obligations
hereunder.

26. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) In the case of transactions in which one of the parties is a
broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the
Exchange Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken
the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection
Act of 1970 (the "SIPA") do not protect the other party with respect
to any transaction hereunder; and

(b) In the case of transactions in which one of the parties is a
government securities broker or a government securities dealer
registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the Exchange Act, SIPA
will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any
transaction hereunder.
