ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD ASK
1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S GOAL?
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio is a stock fund whose goal is to seek
high total investment return.
2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
The fund invests mainly in domestic and foreign stocks of companies that
pay current dividends and offer potential growth of earnings. The fund may
also invest in other types of equity securities and debt securities.
3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS?
The performance of the fund depends on the value of its holdings. Stock
values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies, and
general market and economic conditions. In the short term, stock prices can
fluctuate dramatically in response to these factors. Bond values fluctuate
based on changes in interest rates, and in the credit quality of the
issuer. Lower-rated bonds may be particularly sensitive to these factors.
Investments in foreign securities involve risks that are in addition to
those of U.S. investments, including increased political and economic risk,
as well as exposure to currency fluctuations. When you sell your shares of
the fund, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them.
4. IS THE FUND APPROPRIATE FOR ME?
The fund may be appropriate for investors who are willing to ride out stock
market fluctuations in pursuit of potentially high long-term returns. The
fund is designed for those who seek a combination of growth and income from
equity and some bond investments. The fund is not by itself a balanced
investment plan.
5. WHAT ARE THE FUND'S EXPENSES?

EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual
return is 5% and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described.
For every $1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total
expenses if you close your account after the number of years indicated:
After 1 year After 3 years After 5 years After 10

$38 $55 $74 $128
These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
