Mr. John Costello, Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust)
Fidelity Short-Term World Income Fund
Fidelity Global Bond Fund

82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity Investment Trust is a Massachusetts business trust
originally created under the name "Fidelity International Fund"
pursuant to a written Declaration of Trust dated, executed, and
delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on April 20, 1984. The trust's
name was changed to "Fidelity International Trust" by vote of the
Board of Trustees on June 28, 1984, and an Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust was filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on August 2, 1984. The trust's
name was changed to "Fidelity Overseas Fund" by vote of the
Trustees on September 28, 1984, and a supplement to said
Declaration of Trust was filed with the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 18, 1984. The trust's
name was further changed to "Fidelity Investment Trust" by vote of
the Trustees on September 26, 1986, and a supplement to said
Declaration of Trust was filed with the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on November 3, 1986. A
supplement to the Declaration of Trust was dated and filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 3,
1987. Two additional supplements were filed on November 7,
1988 and November 22, 1989, respectively, with the Secretary of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Under Article III, Section 1, of the Declaration of Trust, the
beneficial interest in the trust shall be divided into such transferable
Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series as the Trustees
shall from time to time create and establish. The number of Shares
is unlimited and each Share shall be without par value and shall be
fully paid and nonassessable. The Trustees shall have full power
and authority, in their sole discretion and without obtaining any
prior authorization or vote of the Shareholders of the trust to create
and establish (and to change in any manner) Shares with such
preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges as the Trustees
may from time to time determine, to divide or combine the Shares
into a greater or lesser number, to classify or reclassify any issued
Shares into one or more Series of Shares, to abolish any one or
more Series of Shares, and to take such other action with respect to
the Shares as the Trustees may deem desirable.
Under Article III, Section 4, the Trustees shall accept investments
in the trust from such persons and on such terms as they may from
time to time authorize. Such investments may be in the form of cash
or securities in which the appropriate Series is authorized to invest,
valued as provided in Article X, Section 3. After the date of the
initial contribution of capital, the number of Shares to represent the
initial contribution may in the Trustees'
discretion be considered as outstanding and the amount received by
the Trustees on account of the contribution shall be treated as an
asset of the trust. Subsequent investments in the trust shall be
credited to each Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares at
the Net Asset Value per Share next determined after the investment
is received; provided, however, that the Trustees may, in their sole
discretion, (a) impose a sales charge upon investments in the trust
and (b) issue fractional Shares.
By a vote adopted on October 20, 1982, and amended on February
22, 1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the issue and sale, from
time to time, of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
of the trust in accordance with the terms included in the current
Registration Statement and subject to the limitations of the
Declaration of Trust and any amendments thereto.
I understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the trust has registered an
indefinite amount of shares of beneficial interest under the
Securities Act of 1933. I further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the trust intends to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a notice making definite the registration
of 159,634,005 shares of the trust (the "Shares") sold in reliance
upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.
I am of the opinion that all necessary trust action precedent to the
issue of Shares, has been duly taken, and that all Shares were
legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable
except as described in the Statement of Additional Information
under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability." In
rendering this opinion, I rely on the representation by the trust that
it or its agents received consideration for the Shares in accordance
with the trust's Declaration of Trust, and I express no opinion as to
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment
Company Act of 1940, or applicable state "Blue Sky" or securities
laws in connection with sales of the Shares.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with a Rule 24f-2 Notice
which you are about to file under the 1940 Act with said
commission.
Sincerely,
/s/Arthur S. Loring, Esq.
