PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets were fairly positive in 1995, no one can predict what
lies ahead for investors. The previous year, stocks posted below-average
returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This downturn
followed a period in which the investing environment was generally very
positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term. You also can help to manage some of the risks of investing
through diversification. A stock fund is already diversified because it
invests in many issues. You can diversify even further by placing some of
your money in several different types of stock funds or in other investment
categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total
return includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells securities that have grown in value). Effective October 20, 1995, the
fund's 3% sales charge was eliminated. If this sales charge had been taken
into account, total returns would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Growth & Income 16.53% 38.25% 147.89% 442.52%

Growth & Income Funds Average 11.28% 32.47% 100.70% 237.40%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one, five, or 10 years. For
example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare
the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite
Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure
how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the growth & income funds average, which reflects the performance of 498
growth & income funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services over the past six months. Both benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Growth &
Income Portfolio on January 31, 1986. As the chart shows, by January 31,
1996, the value of your investment would have grown to $54,252 - a 442.52%
increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P
500 did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to $41,187 - a 311.87% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks or bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Steven Kaye, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Growth &
Income Portfolio
Q. STEVE, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It has done very well. For the six months ended January 31, 1996, the
fund had a total return of 16.53%, compared to an 11.28% return for the
growth and income funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, and
14.54% for the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks. For the 12
months ended January 31, 1996, the fund had a total return of 38.25%, while
the average growth and income fund returned 32.47% and the S&P 500 had a
total return of 38.66%.
Q. WHAT WERE THE KEYS TO THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund's investments in the consumer nondurables sector - such as
food, beverage and tobacco companies - and the health care sector performed
well. These stocks attracted investor interest because they generally
sustain strong earnings growth regardless of the economic backdrop. As
evidence of an economic slowdown mounted throughout the year, investors
were attracted to these types of stocks and their prices appreciated. In
addition, some of the fund's investments in the financial sector were
strong contributors to performance, including Fannie Mae - the Federal
National Mortgage Association - American Express, Freddie Mac - the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation - and Sallie Mae - the Student Loan
Marketing Association. Sallie Mae bought back stock, reduced excess capital
and cut expenses. Finally, the fund's performance compared to the market
and other similar funds benefited from its relatively small weighting in
technology stocks. While this sector generally performed well through the
first half of 1995, it gave back some of its gains during this recent
six-month period.
Q. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUND'S CONSUMER NONDURABLES INVESTMENTS. WHAT
SPARKED THEM TO DO WELL DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Most of the strength in the nondurables sector - especially from
large-cap, blue chip stocks such as Philip Morris and PepsiCo - came from
investors' anticipation of potential earnings disappointments in 1996. The
market shifted much of its focus to "safe" stocks - those whose earnings
growth generally remains steady regardless of the economic backdrop. Philip
Morris - the fund's largest holding during this period - posted very strong
earnings due to strong sales of its Marlboro brand and increases in
international unit sales. The company raised its dividend and bought back
stock, helping the stock price show a significant increase. PepsiCo - also
one of the fund's top 10 holdings - saw share price gains on the heels of
beating earnings expectations and a stock buy-back program.
Q. YOU ALSO MENTIONED THE BENEFITS OF THE FUND'S HEALTH CARE INVESTMENTS.
WHAT WAS THE STORY THERE?
A. Many health care stocks - especially pharmaceutical companies -
performed well over the past six months, driven by steady earnings growth
and new product development. Many of them had been undervalued for some
time, but they saw solid share price gains over the period. Examples here
included American Home Products, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck and
Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson's earnings growth was helped by a new
product called "stents." These are metal devices that hold the walls of
arteries open after angioplasty is performed to open clogged arteries. In
addition, drug store chains - which are included in the retail sector -
were solid performers, including Walgreen's and Rite Aid.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DIDN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED?
A. Many retail stocks - with the exception of drug and grocery stores -
lagged during the period. This sector has been hurt for some time by
overcapacity - too many stores and too much square footage - in light of
only moderate growth in consumer spending. A weak Christmas shopping season
didn't help the situation. Wal-Mart was hurt by poor comparable store sales
- - existing stores didn't do as well compared to last year - and poor growth
in its Sam's Club division. In the basic industries sector, another
disappointment was James River, a paper manufacturer. Because its business
is perceived to be economically sensitive, this company's stock dropped
along with many other paper producers as data suggested an economic
slowdown. In addition, James River's management didn't follow through with
some expected changes, thereby hurting the stock.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. If interest rates continue the decline we've seen since the second
quarter of 1995, that could help the economy to turn around somewhat. For
the time being, the economy looks like it will have some difficulties.
We're already seeing rising commodity inventories and slumping retail
sales. While rates have come down and the economy has not gone into
recession, it's still weak. I don't foresee any turnaround until the latter
part of 1996.

STEVE KAYE ON INVESTOR
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE
STOCK MARKET:
"Investors currently are
putting a lot of money into the
stock market. That's typical
when the market shows the
kind of strength it has
demonstrated over the past
year. At the same time, we
should see what I call a
"digestion" phase, when stock
valuations consolidate to
reflect company prospects
more accurately than they do
at the moment, as valuations
are high on an historical
basis. Investors need to
maintain the perspective that
the market has averaged 12%
annual growth over extended
periods of time, not the more
than 30% we saw last year.
"Investors are best off having
a consistent investment
program as opposed to trying
to time the market or, even
worse, getting into the market
after it's had a big run. Those
investors who experienced
the crash of 1987 and stayed
in the market probably have
experienced strong growth in
their portfolios over the past
nine years. Those who invest
with a long-term view can
benefit from the sharp
upswings we've seen lately,
and withstand the kind of
"digestion" phase the market
goes through from time to
time. Long-term investing
can reduce the risk of
chasing the market on its way
up, only to suffer when there
is a market-wide price
correction."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1996 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles which permit management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days
of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates
of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income
receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original issue discount,
is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes
withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation
proceeds, paydown gains/losses on certain securities, foreign currency
transactions, market discount, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred
due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed
to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading
accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements
that mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $4,345,868,000 and $3,071,183,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .20%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .51%
of average net assets.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales
charges of $980,000 on sales of shares of the fund. Effective October 20,
1995, the fund's 3% sales charge was eliminated.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the
period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of
.21% of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting
records and administers the security lending program. The security lending
fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The
accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month
plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $2,309,000 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund negotiated
lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income. The fund
receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral against the
loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value
of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral
must be maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. At period end, the value of the
securities loaned and the value of collateral amounted to $37,800,000 and
$39,000,000, respectively.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$569,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its transfer
agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
offset a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
transfer agent fees were reduced by $353,000 under this arrangement.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period with
companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets were fairly positive in 1995, no one can predict what
lies ahead for investors. The previous year, stocks posted below-average
returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This downturn
followed a period in which the investing environment was generally very
positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term. You also can help to manage some of the risks of investing
through diversification. A stock fund is already diversified because it
invests in many issues. You can diversify even further by placing some of
your money in several different types of stock funds or in other investment
categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total
return includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells securities that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 PAST 6 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
MONTHS YEAR YEARS YEARS
OTC 3.22% 38.20% 131.04% 301.87%
OTC (incl. 3% sales charge) 0.12% 34.06% 124.11% 289.82%
NASDAQ 6.34% 41.77% 171.10% 261.56%
Mid-Cap Funds Average 6.24% 33.28% 129.75% 278.64%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one, five, or 10 years. For
example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare
the fund's returns to the performance of the NASDAQ Composite Index - a
common proxy for over-the-counter stocks. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the mid-cap
funds average, which reflects the performance of 119 mid-cap funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six
months. Unlike most other funds in this category, this fund invests in
large companies as well as small ones. Both benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity OTC
Portfolio on January 31, 1986 and paid a 3% sales charge. As the chart
shows, by January 31, 1996, the value of your investment would have grown
to $38,982 - a 289.82% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the NASDAQ did over the same period. The same $10,000
investment would have grown to $36,156 - a 261.56% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Abigail Johnson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity OTC
Portfolio
Q. ABBY, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's performance slowed toward the end of 1995. The fund had a
total return of 3.22% for the six months ended January 31, 1996. That
lagged the fund's benchmark - the NASDAQ Composite Index - which returned
6.34% during the same period. For the 12 months ended January 31, 1996, the
fund rose 38.20%, compared to 41.77% for the index.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND TRAIL THE INDEX DURING THE PERIOD?
A. A couple of reasons come to mind. First, the fund was still overweighted
in technology stocks relative to the index when their performance began to
slip in the fall. I did reduce the fund's exposure to the sector - which
had produced strong gains for the fund during 1995 - from 42.6% to 28.0%
over the past six months. As I searched for appropriate stocks in which to
invest the proceeds of those sales, the fund's cash position grew. It was
nearly 16% on January 31, 1996; typically, that figure is 10% or less. That
slowed the fund's performance somewhat relative to the OTC market toward
the end of the period. In addition, what the fund didn't own affected
relative performance. The fund wasn't heavily invested in some of the
strongest performing Internet and biotech stocks during the period. Some of
these stocks posted extraordinary gains. However, the Internet stocks as a
group were extremely expensive, while some of the smaller biotech companies
represented speculative "concept" stocks - built on dreams of new products
that may never make it to market. I wasn't comfortable with the high level
of risk inherent in these stocks.
Q. YOU MENTIONED CUTTING BACK ON TECHNOLOGY. WHAT FACTORS NEGATIVELY
AFFECTED THESE STOCKS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. First, their valuations - prices relative to earnings - had risen to
high levels. Second, signs of excess inventory of personal computers and
memory computer chips began to appear in the fall. These have been key
indicators of the overall health of the sector in past technology cycles.
Because the earnings prospects for some technology companies quickly
deteriorated, I took some profits and reduced the fund's exposure.
Q. DID ALL TECHNOLOGY STOCKS MOVE IN TANDEM?
A. No. We've actually seen a real divergence among the different industries
that make up the sector. For example, companies that manufacture computer
networking equipment generally have seen steadier earnings growth and have
tended to be less cyclical than those in the PC and semiconductor
industries. There's been a tremendous demand for more computer network
capacity, which has helped fuel strong profits for companies such as Cisco
Systems.
Q. YOU'VE CUT BACK THE FUND'S INVESTMENT IN THE LARGEST SOFTWARE COMPANY OF
THEM ALL, MICROSOFT . . .
A. I did lock in some of the strong gains Microsoft made during 1995. I had
concerns that the stock's valuation was getting excessive, and there
remained some big question marks in the company's future. For example,
Windows NT has done well, but still was only a small part of Microsoft's
business at the end of the period. However, Microsoft is a very powerful
player in the software industry, and it remained the fund's second largest
holding on January 31.
Q. ALTHOUGH IT REMAINED THE FUND'S LARGEST INVESTMENT AT THE END OF THE
PERIOD, YOU ALSO REDUCED THE FUND'S STAKE IN MICROPROCESSOR MANUFACTURER
INTEL. WERE THE REASONS SIMILAR?
A. They were. Intel's stock had posted strong advances, and I took some
profits. And like Microsoft, I had some concerns about the company's
business prospects going forward. I've already mentioned the slowdown in PC
sales near the end of the year. But the big picture for Intel revolves
around the company's product cycles. The company recently announced it will
launch the "Pentium Pro" - its newest chip -sooner than expected. It seems
the period of time between each new generation of microprocessor has been
shrinking, yet it costs the same amount or more to launch each new product.
Therein lies the concern: investors, including myself, are worried that
these compressed product cycles could negatively affect profitability.
However, it's difficult to count Intel out because it has dominated its
industry.
Q. WHAT OTHER SECTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE RECENTLY?
A. I mentioned not owning some of the very small biotech companies. But
those that the fund did own - larger stocks such as Amgen - boosted
performance. Amgen is one of the few biotech companies that actually has
products in the marketplace that can help produce a solid earnings stream.
In addition, health care stocks - which grew from 8.3% of the fund to 10.1%
over the past six months - generally were strong performers. I look for
companies that have products that have the potential to help the medical
community improve patient outcomes and keep costs down.
Q. YOU ALSO INCREASED THE FUND'S WEIGHTING IN FINANCIAL STOCKS DURING THE
PERIOD, FROM 8.0% TO 11.2%. WHERE DID YOU FIND OPPORTUNITIES?
A. Regional banks such as Northern Trust and Union Bank of San Francisco
benefited from falling interest rates, solid loan growth and
better-than-average balance sheets. In addition, the valuations of these
stocks were driven higher by the takeover mania that has swept the banking
industry. As the period progressed, I cut back somewhat on the regional
banks and moved more heavily into insurance stocks, which I felt also could
benefit from lower interest rates. Life USA Holding, Ohio Casualty and
Mercury General are examples.
Q. WHAT WILL BE THE KEYS TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE AS 1996 PROGRESSES?
A. I'm concerned about corporate earnings. I think many companies -
especially in the technology sector - will have difficulty matching 1995's
powerful earnings growth rates. That's mainly because of the sluggish U.S.
economy and the stronger U.S. dollar. Many technology companies produce
more than half of their sales overseas. Last year's weak dollar produced
favorable currency exchange rates, which positively affected earnings. I
would caution shareholders to temper their expectations in light of the
strength of the OTC market over the past 12 months. It's important to
remember that yearly returns that top 30% are far and away the historical
exception; the norm is far less.

ABIGAIL JOHNSON ON THE RECENT
ENVIRONMENT FOR SMALL- AND
MID-CAPITALIZATION STOCKS:
"The stocks of small- and
medium-sized companies
generally have lagged those
of larger companies for quite
some time now. For example,
for the three years ended
January 31, 1996, the Dow
Jones Industrial Average -
which measures the
performance of 30 large-cap
industrial companies - rose
76.46%, while the NASDAQ
index - which includes many
small- and mid-cap
companies - rose 57.26%.
Historically, small stocks have
tended to outperform large
stocks over longer periods,
but large companies generally
offer steadier earnings
growth, which attracts
investors during certain
economic and market cycles.
I have gone with the flow
somewhat, and increased the
fund's holdings in some larger
stocks over the past year.
While they've performed well,
the nucleus of the fund is still
small- and mid-cap stocks,
which dominate the OTC
market."
(solid bullet) The fund had roughly a
12% stake in cyclical stocks
at the end of the period. The
earnings of these stocks
tend to improve as the
economy expands. Examples
included railroad company
Wisconsin Central and
manufacturing conglomerate
Pentair.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1996 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity OTC Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund
(the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The
trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which permit
management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the
financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale
price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days
of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts and foreign currency options, disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates
on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net
investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The
effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign
currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets and to
fluctuations in interest rates and currency values. Buying futures, writing
puts, and buying calls tend to increase the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend
to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge
other fund investments. Written options involve, to varying degrees, risk
of loss in excess of the the option value reflected in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value is shown in the
schedule of investments under the caption "Purchased Options." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period
end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or
if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale,
the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using
dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,281,455,000 and $1,252,729,000, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $64,458,000 and $0,
respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%. The
basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared
to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .53% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received sales
charges of $472,000 on sales of shares of the fund.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the
period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of
.23% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the funds' accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $570,000 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$33,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its transfer
agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
offset a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's
transfer agent fees were reduced by $52,000 under this arrangement.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period with
companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets were fairly positive in 1995, no one can predict what
lies ahead for investors. The previous year, stocks posted below-average
returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This downturn
followed a period in which the investing environment was generally very
positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term. You also can help to manage some of the risks of investing
through diversification. A stock fund is already diversified because it
invests in many issues. You can diversify even further by placing some of
your money in several different types of stock funds or in other investment
categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total
return includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells investments that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 PAST 6 PAST 1 LIFE OF
MONTHS YEAR FUND
Dividend Growth 8.94% 40.81% 79.28%
S&P 500(registered trademark) 14.54% 38.66% 58.21%
Growth Funds Average 8.29% 32.65% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, or since the fund
started on April 27, 1993. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would
be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the
U.S. stock market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average, which reflects
the performance of 620 growth funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. Both benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Dividend Growth Fund on April 27, 1993, when the fund started. As the chart
shows, by January 31, 1996, the value of your investment would have grown
to $17,928 - a 79.28% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $15,821 - a
58.21% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Steve Wymer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Dividend
Growth Fund
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED, STEVE?
A. The fund had a total return of 8.94% for the six months ended January
31, 1996. That was slightly better than the growth funds average, which was
8.29% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. For the
12 months ended January 31, 1996, the fund had a total return of 40.81%,
compared to 32.65% for the Lipper average. Overall, I was pleased with the
fund's performance. Most growth funds have underperformed because the
market's advance has been concentrated in a few industries and among
larger-capitalization companies.
Q. WHAT HAS THE INVESTING ENVIRONMENT BEEN LIKE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. The stock market saw a strong rally throughout 1995, one that continued
through the end of the period. During the past six months, the market
initially was led by the technology sector, with strength throughout the
period from the finance sector, as well as large-cap and blue chip stocks -
with many growth funds underperforming indexes such as the Standard &
Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks.
Q. LET'S DISCUSS TECHNOLOGY AND THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN THAT SECTOR,
WHICH YOU'VE REDUCED OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS FROM 21.9% TO 6.1% OF THE
FUND . . .
A. Although technology was one of the best performing sectors for the
12-month period, it faltered over the past six months. Last summer,
technology was the place to be, driven largely by the strong performance of
Intel's Pentium microchip, the Microsoft Windows 95 launch and the strong
performance of Internet-related stocks. During the period, memory chip
companies encountered problems with overcapacity, or too much supply. There
were enough components, and shortages were ebbing. As a result, concerns
arose as to whether these companies could meet earnings estimates, and this
anxiety had a ripple effect throughout the technology sector. Even though
the fund benefited from a strong weighting in technology early in the
period, it suffered a bit, relatively speaking, because it didn't have as
much invested there as other funds in its category. In the second half of
the six-month period, though, the fund benefited relative to the market and
its competition from my reduction in investments in the technology sector.
Q. YOU INCREASED INVESTMENTS IN FINANCE AND NONDURABLES . . .
A. Yes. Financial stocks were appealing as interest rates declined and
there were increasing signs that the economy was slowing. Most of the
strength in the nondurables sector was in large-cap, blue chip stocks.
Investors anticipated potential earnings disappointments in 1996, so they
shifted much of their focus to "safe" stocks - those whose earnings growth
generally remains steady regardless of the economic backdrop, such as
Philip Morris, the fund's largest holding at the end of the period. While
the fund did increase investments in these sectors, it would have benefited
from even more exposure.
Q. WHAT KIND OF A STOCK-PICKING STRATEGY DID YOU PURSUE?
A. As a rule, I don't focus on sector rotation or investing in a particular
group of stocks. I tend to pick stocks one by one. If there's one theme I'm
attracted to, it's companies that are attempting to improve earnings
results through self-help measures, regardless of how the economy is doing.
This can include a company breaking itself into two parts, selling off a
division that isn't performing well, undergoing a restructuring or making a
valuable acquisition. These are the kinds of companies that are taking
positive action to enhance shareholder value.
Q. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF STOCKS THAT HELPED THE FUND BECAUSE OF THESE
KINDS OF MOVES?
A. Sallie Mae - the Student Loan Marketing Association - redeployed excess
capital to buy back stock and cut expenses. Dole Food spun off its real
estate business into a separate company, which allowed management to focus
exclusively on the fruit business to drive the company's earnings and share
price. Baxter International also started the process of breaking into two
divisions - medical and distribution - with management doing an excellent
job cutting costs, repurchasing shares and focusing on core businesses.
Ultramar, an oil refiner and marketer, started a major upgrade program
aiming to improve refining results regardless of industry conditions.
Q. WHAT WERE THE DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. BW/IP is a company that makes pumps and valves and one of its key
indicators is quotes to customers. The quotes have been high but haven't
translated into orders yet. Some of this has been tied to the international
power market, which has been a lot softer than expected. Another
disappointment was Apple Computer, a stock I've since sold. Apple had a
number of problems, which started with trouble executing the high number of
backlog orders during new product cycles.
Q. WHAT DO YOU SEE GOING FORWARD?
A. There are a lot of opportunities in the market. The key is picking the
right stocks. Poor retail sales at the end of the year indicate that
perhaps the economy is still weakening. However, it's important to keep in
mind that this is an election year; in the past, that has been a positive
backdrop for the stock market. It's not time to give up hope on the
economy. But I imagine the economy will continue to look difficult to most
companies. Given that, I think there will be many companies stepping up
self-help measures, creating fertile ground for me to find new investment
ideas.

STEVE WYMER ON INVESTING FOR
GROWTH AND DIVIDENDS:
"I primarily focus on
companies that are paying a
dividend already. More
importantly, however, I look
for companies that are going
to grow in the future, either
increasing their existing
dividend, or starting to pay a
dividend and seeking to
increase it in the future.
Typically, you won't see the
fund investing exclusively in
start-up companies - such as
some biotechnology stocks -
or in 5% to 7% yielding utilities
stocks. I'm looking more for
growth stocks that pay a
dividend or show the ability to
pay a dividend in the near
future."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1996 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities
Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which permit management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the
date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange)
are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures
under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates
of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income
receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for losses
deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and
are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $479,490,638 and $409,245,183, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates
and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds
advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the period. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect
during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they
resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund
fee rate is .30%. The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up
to a maximum of (plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment
performance as compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of
time. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized
rate of .67% of average net assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the
period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of
.23% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets were fairly positive in 1995, no one can predict what
lies ahead for investors. The previous year, stocks posted below-average
returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This downturn
followed a period in which the investing environment was generally very
positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term. You also can help to manage some of the risks of investing
through diversification. A stock fund is already diversified because it
invests in many issues. You can diversify even further by placing some of
your money in several different types of stock funds or in other investment
categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. A fund's total
return includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells securities that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 PAST 6 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
MONTHS YEAR YEARS FUND
Blue Chip Growth 3.62% 33.47% 171.28% 336.83%
Blue Chip Growth (incl. 3% sales 0.51% 29.47% 163.14% 323.73%
charge)
S&P 500(registered trademark) 14.54% 38.66% 113.54% 230.53%
Growth Funds Average 8.29% 32.65% 105.08% 205.31%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on December 31, 1987. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a
common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the growth
funds average, which reflects the performance of 620 growth funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six
months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

Growth Funds Average 32.65% 15.14% 14.40%

and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's
say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund on December 31,
1987, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. As the chart
shows, by January 31, 1996, the value of your investment would have grown
to $42,373 - a 323.73% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $33,053 - a
230.53% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Michael Gordon, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Blue Chip
Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, MIKE?
A. Not as well as I would have liked. For the six-month period ended
January 31, 1996, the fund had a total return of 3.62% as compared to the
8.29% return for the growth funds average, as tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services. For the same period, the fund's benchmark index - the S&P 500 -
returned 14.54%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS?
A. In the second half of 1995, as investors began to see more and more
signs of the economy slowing, they began to embrace many
large-capitalization, consumer-oriented stocks. Investors believed that
these companies - such as pharmaceutical firms, telephone companies and
beverage companies - would be able to perform well despite an economic
slowdown. The fund did not own or had small positions in many of these
stocks because I did not believe their high prices accurately reflected
their earnings growth potential.
Q. DID THE MARKET-WIDE SELL-OFF IN THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR NEAR THE END OF
1995 - AND THE FUND'S SUBSEQUENT REDUCTION IN ITS TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS -
HURT THE FUND AS WELL?
A. Yes, it certainly did. First, let me explain my thinking here. My goal
is to buy stocks that have the potential for attractive earnings growth
over the long term
and that are trading at a discount to the companies' perceived value. I
began aggressively buying technology stocks in April and May 1994.
Following such a strong technology rally in 1995, I began selling
technology stocks when it appeared investors' expectations had gotten too
high. Unfortunately, I did not reduce the fund's technology position
quickly enough and the fund gave back some previously unrealized profits.
Q. SO, WHY DO YOU BELIEVE TECHNOLOGY STOCKS REVERSED COURSE AFTER BEING THE
TOP PERFORMING AREA FOR MUCH OF 1995?
A. It's hard to generalize. However, I think a big part of the sell-off was
because the fundamentals of some of the technology companies began to
deteriorate. For example, if profits are down or demand for a company's
product is fading, it's often a sign that it is time to sell. That said,
there are still many technology companies that are doing well - such as
some of the large computer makers and software companies - and many of
these companies could lead the technology sector's next rally.
Q. IN THE SECOND HALF OF 1995 INVESTORS FAVORED CONSUMER-ORIENTED STOCKS.
WHY THEN DID THE FUND HAVE A LARGE POSITION IN CYCLICAL STOCKS?
A. As I said before, investors embraced consumer-oriented stocks based on
the belief that these companies would be successful through any economic
slowdown. Cyclicals - or stocks that are highly sensitive to changes in the
economy - are usually favored in an economic growth phase because, as
history has shown, people buy more cars and build more houses when the
economy is growing. I found that certain cyclical companies' stocks were
selling at attractive prices relative to their projected earnings, so I
bought them.
Q. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT CERTAINLY APPEARS THE FUND'S POSITION IN THE
FINANCIAL AREA WAS A BRIGHT SPOT . . .
A. Financial companies - banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies -
and their stocks tend to perform well in a falling interest rate
environment like we saw in 1995. During such times, borrowing costs are
lower and, therefore, there is more money for buying and selling goods and
services, as well as for investment.
Q. TURNING TO THE FUND'S NON-EQUITY POSITION, WHY DOES A STOCK FUND HAVE A
RELATIVELY LARGE POSITION IN U.S. TREASURY BONDS, U.S. TREASURY BILLS AND
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS?
A. First and foremost, I am committed to uncovering the most promising
stocks at an attractive valuation. Therein lies my reasoning for acquiring
the large bond and cash equivalent position after selling a big chunk of
the fund's technology holdings. I never dash headlong into a market just
for the sake of being fully invested. I prefer to take the time to look
carefully at the fundamentals of prospective companies and see if they fit
my buying criteria.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Despite a slowing economy, I think there are some positive signs for
equities: inflation and interest rates are low and U.S. companies are
becoming more efficient. Of course, with the stock market surpassing
historically high levels, there is always the possibility of some kind of
market correction when investors begin to view the market as overvalued.

STEVE KAYE ON INVESTOR
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE
STOCK MARKET:
"Investors currently are
putting a lot of money into the
stock market. That's typical
when the market shows the
kind of strength it has
demonstrated over the past
year. At the same time, we
should see what I call a
"digestion" phase, when stock
valuations consolidate to
reflect company prospects
more accurately than they do
at the moment, as valuations
are high on an historical
basis. Investors need to
maintain the perspective that
the market has averaged 12%
annual growth over extended
periods of time, not the more
than 30% we saw last year.
"Investors are best off having
a consistent investment
program as opposed to trying
to time the market or, even
worse, getting into the market
after it's had a big run. Those
investors who experienced
the crash of 1987 and stayed
in the market probably have
experienced strong growth in
their portfolios over the past
nine years. Those who invest
with a long-term view can
benefit from the sharp
upswings we've seen lately,
and withstand the kind of
"digestion" phase the market
goes through from time to
time. Long-term investing
can reduce the risk of
chasing the market on its way
up, only to suffer when there
is a market-wide price
correction."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1996 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities
Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which permit management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the
date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days
of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and
sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated
into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates
of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of
foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign
currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and
foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income
or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or
Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets and to
fluctuations in interest rates and currency values. Buying futures, writing
puts, and buying calls tend to increase the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend
to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge
other fund investments. The underlying face amount at value is shown in the
schedule of investments under the caption "Purchased Options." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period
end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or
if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale,
the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using
dealer-supplied valuations.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $7,000 or 0% of
net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $8,629,612,000 and $7,942,308,000, respectively, of which U.S.
government and government agency obligations aggregated $1,016,069,000 and
$241,568,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. The
basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus) .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared
to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period,
the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .68% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR,
is the general distributor of the fund. FDC is paid a 3% sales charge on
sales of shares of the fund. Prior to October 12, 1990, FDC was paid a 2%
sales charge and a 1% deferred sales charge. Shares purchased before
October 12, 1990 are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption.
For the period, FDC received sales charges and deferred sales charges of
$5,642,000 and $8,000, respectively, on sales of shares of the fund.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to
account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the
period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of
.26% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $3,184,000 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by
$874,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into certain arrangements with its
custodian and transfer agent whereby interest earned on univested cash
balances was used to offset a portion of the fund's expenses. During the
period, the fund's custody and transfer agent fees were reduced by $4,000
and $242,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period with
companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:
