"Reductions" heading in the
"Sales Charge Reductions and
Waivers" section on page 21.
REDUCTIONS. The fund's sales
charge may be reduced if you
invest directly with Fidelity or
through prototype or
prototype-like retirement plans
sponsored by FMR or FMR
Corp. Purchases made with
assistance or intervention from
a financial intermediary are not
eligible. The amount you invest,
plus the value of your account,
must fall within the ranges
shown below. Call Fidelity to
see if your purchase qualifies.

The sales charge will also be

available. These sales charge
credits only apply if you
continuously owned Fidelity
fund shares or a Fidelity
brokerage core account, or
participated in The

to purchases made in one of
the following ways:
1. By exchange from another
Fidelity fund.
2. With proceeds of a
transaction within a Fidelity
brokerage core account,
including any free credit

FIDELITY GROWTH & INCOME PORTFOLIO
SUPPLEMENT TO THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
DATED SEPTEMBER 25, 1993
The following paragraph replaces the first paragraph under the heading
"Valuation of Portfolio Securities" on page 11.
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 U.S. 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 U.S. are valued using the official
closing price or the last sale price in the principal market where they are
traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the
last evaluated quote or last bid price is normally used. Short-term
securities are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Convertible and
fixed-income securities are valued primarily by a pricing service that uses
a vendor security valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. This twofold
approach is believed to more accurately reflect fair value because it takes
into account appropriate factors such as institutional trading in similar
groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue,
trading characteristics, and other market data, without exclusive reliance
upon quoted, exchange, or over-the counter prices. Use of pricing services
has been approved by the Board of Trustees.
The following paragraph supplements that found in the "Performance"
section, beginning on page 12.
The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or
other investments issued by banks. The fund differs from bank investments
in several respects. The fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs; but unlike CDs, the fund does not guarantee
your principal or your return.
The following paragraph supplements the section entitled "Additional
Purchase and Redemption Information" beginning on page 14.
The fund's sales charge may be reduced to reflect sales charges previously
paid, or that would have been paid absent a reduction as noted in the
prospectus, in connection with investments in other Fidelity funds. This
includes reductions for investments in prototype or prototype-like
retirement plans sponsored by FMR or FMR Corp., which are listed on page
14.
The following information replaces example 8 found in the section
entitled "Additional Purchase and Redemption Information" beginning on page
14.
(8) if you are a current or former Trustee or officer of a Fidelity fund
or a current or retired officer, director, or regular employee of FMR Corp.
or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a Fidelity Trustee or employee),
the spouse of a Fidelity Trustee or employee, a Fidelity Trustee or
employee acting as custodian for a minor child, or a person acting as
trustee of a trust for the sole benefit of the minor child of a Fidelity
Trustee or employee;
The following informationsupplements the section entitled "Additional
Purchase and Redemption Information" beginning on page 14.
(12) if you are a registered investment adviser (RIA) purchasing for
your discretionary accounts, provided you execute a Fidelity RIA load
waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating
provisions. This waiver is available only for shares purchased directly
from Fidelity, without a broker, and is unavailable if the RIA is part of
an organization principally engaged in the brokerage business;
(13) if you are a trust institution or bank trust department purchasing
for your non-discretionary, non-retirement fiduciary accounts, provided you
execute a Fidelity Trust load waiver agreement which specifies certain
aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only
for shares purchased either directly from Fidelity or through a
bank-affiliated broker, and is unavailable if the trust department or
institution is part of an organization not principally engaged in banking
or trust activities.
