Mr. John Costello, Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust):
Fidelity Short-Term World Income Fund
Fidelity Global Bond Fund
Fidelity New Markets Income Fund (the funds)
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business
trust initially created under the name Fidelity International Fund
upon a written Declaration of Trust dated, executed and delivered
in Boston, Massachusetts April 20, 1984. The trust's name was
changed to Fidelity International Trust by vote of the Board of
Trustees (the "Trustees") on June 28, 1984, and an Amended and
Restated Declaration of Trust was filed with the office of 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
the 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 changed from Fidelity Overseas Fund to Fidelity
Investment Trust by vote of the Trustees on September 26, 1986,
and a supplement to the 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
filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on
December 4, 1987. Two additional supplements were filed on
November 7, 1988 and November 22, 1989, respectively, with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A restated
Declaration of Trust dated February 16, 1995 was filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth on April 3, 1995.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise herein defined, are
used as defined in the Declaration of Trust.
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 non assessable. 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 of the trust 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 April 20, 1984 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 44,921,885 shares of the trust (the "Shares") sold in reliance
upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
I am of the opinion that all necessary trust action precedent to the
issue of Shares has been duly taken, and that all the Shares were
legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and non assessable,
except as described in the funds' 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 agent received consideration for the Shares in
accordance with the 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
