KEY FACTS

THE FUND AT A GLANCE
GOAL: Capital appreciation (increase in the value of the fund's
shares). As with any mutual fund, there is no assurance that the fund
will achieve its goal.
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in equity securities of companies that have
the potential to increase their current dividend, or begin paying a
dividend.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the
man ageme nt arm of Fidelity Investments(registered trademark),
which was established in 1946 and is now America's largest mutual fund
manager. Foreign affiliates of FMR may help choose investments for the
fund.
SIZE: As of July 31, 1998, the fund had over $ 7.3
billion in assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
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 consider dividends to be
an indication of a company's growth potential. It is important to note
that the fund does not invest for income.
The value of the fund's investments will vary from day to day, and
generally reflect market conditions, interest rates, and other
company, political, or economic news. In the short-term, stock prices
can fluctuate dramatically in response to these factors. Over time,
however, stocks have shown greater growth potential than other types
of securities. When you sell your shares, they may be worth more or
less than what you paid for them. By itself, the fund does not
constitute a balanced investment plan.

EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy
or sell shares of the fund. In addition, you may be charged an
annual account maintenance fee if your account balance falls below
$2,500. See "Transaction Details," page , for an explanation of how
and when these charges apply.

Sales charge on purchases None
and reinvested distributions

Deferred sales charge on redemptions None

Annual account maintenance fee $12.00
(for accounts under $2,500)

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The
fund pays a management fee to FMR that varies based on its
performance. It also incurs other expenses for services such as
maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements
and financial reports. The fund's expenses are factored into its share
price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses ," page ).
The following figures are based on historical expenses of the fund and
are calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the fund. A
portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to
reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, the fund has entered into
arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce
custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the
total fund operating expenses presented in the table would have been
0.86 %.

Management fee 0.65%

12b-1 fee None

Other expenses 0.24%

Total fund operating expenses 0.89%

1 year $ 9

3 years $ 28

5 years $ 49

10 years $ 110

These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected expenses or returns, all of which may vary.

THE FUND IN DETAIL

CHARTER
DIVIDEND GROWTH IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools
shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal. The fund
is a diversified fund of Fidelity Securities Fund, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on October 2, 1984.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the
fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that
provide services to the fund, and review the fund's performance. The
trustees serve as trustees for other Fidelity funds. The majority of
trustees are not otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY
MATERIALS. These meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees,
change fundamental policies, approve a management contract, or for
other purposes. Shareholders not attending these meetings are
encouraged to vote by proxy. Fidelity will mail proxy materials in
advance, including a voting card and information about the proposals
to be voted on. The number of votes you are entitled to is based upon
the dollar value of your investment.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The fund is managed by FMR, which chooses the fund's investments
and handles its business affairs.
Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments:
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.)
Inc. (FMR U.K.), in London, England, serves as a sub-advisor for the
fund.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (FMR Far East), in Tokyo, Japan, serves as a sub-advisor
for the fund.
Charles Mangum is Vice President and manager of Dividend Growth, which
he has managed since January 1997. Previously, he managed other
Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1990, Mr. Mangum has worked
as an analyst and manager.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services.
Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) performs transfer agent servicing
functions for the fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR, FMR U.K., and FMR Far
East. Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant
owners of a class of shares of common stock representing approximately
49% of the voting power of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the 1940 Act), control of a company is presumed where one
individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company; therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed
under the 1940 Act to form a controlling group with respect to FMR
Corp.
FMR may use its broker-dealer affiliates and other firms that sell
fund shares to carry out the fund's transactions, provided that the
fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to
those of other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
THE FUND seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in
companies that FMR believes have the potential for dividend growth by
either increasing their dividends or commencing dividends, if none are
currently paid. FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total
assets in equity securities of these companies.
The fund's strategy is based on the premise that dividends are an
indication of a company's financial health and companies that are
commencing or increasing their dividends have an enhanced potential
for capital growth. Although the fund uses income to evaluate its
investments, it is important to recognize that the fund does not
invest for income.
The value of the fund's investments varies in response to many
factors. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of
individual companies and general market and economic conditions.
FMR may use various investment techniques to hedge a portion of the
fund's risks, but there is no guarantee that these strategies will
work as FMR intends. As a mutual fund, the fund seeks to spread
investment risk by diversifying its holdings among many companies and
industries. When you sell your shares of the fund, they may be worth
more or less than what you paid for them.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The fund also reserves the right to invest without
limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments
for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in
this section. A complete listing of the fund's limitations and more
detailed information about the fund's investments are contained in the
fund's SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that they are consistent with the fund's
investment objective and policies and that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal. Fund holdings and recent investment strategies are
detailed in the fund's financial reports, which are sent to
shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
1-800-544-8888.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks,
convertible securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar
type, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation.
Although equity securities have a history of long-term growth in
value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company's
financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.
Smaller companies are especially sensitive to these factors.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund
may not invest in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of a single issuer.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers
to borrow money from investors. The issuer generally pays the investor
a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the
amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon
bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from
their face values.
Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in
interest rates and varying degrees of credit quality. In general, bond
prices rise when interest rates fall, and fall when interest rates
rise. Longer-term bonds and zero coupon bonds are generally more
sensitive to interest rate changes.
Lower-quality debt securities are considered to have speculative
characteristics, and involve greater risk of default or price changes
due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness, or they may already
be in default. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate
more than higher-quality securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general or regional economic difficulty.
The table on page provides a summary of ratings assigned to debt
holdings (not including money market instruments) in the fund's
portfolio. These figures are dollar-weighted averages of month-end
portfolio holdings during the fiscal year ended July 1998, and
are presented as a percentage of total security investments. These
percentages are historical and do not necessarily indicate the fund's
current or future debt holdings.
RESTRICTIONS: Purchase of a debt security is consistent with the
fund's debt quality policy if it is rated at or above the stated level
by Moody's Investors Service or rated in the equivalent categories by
Standard & Poor's, or is unrated but judged to be of equivalent
quality by FMR. The fund currently intends to limit its investments in
lower than Baa-quality debt securities (sometimes called "junk
bonds") to less than 35% of its assets.
EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve additional risks and considerations. These
include risks relating to politica l, economic, or regulatory
conditions in foreign countries; fluctua tions in foreign
currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement,
custodial , and other operational risks; and the potentially less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign
markets. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities
may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may
require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. All of these
factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging
markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S.
investments.

GOVERNMENT.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a
security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the
agreement defaults or becomes insolvent.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. The fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices,
interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other
factors that affect security values. These techniques may involve
derivative transactions such as buying and selling options and futures
contracts, entering into currency exchange contracts or swap
agreements, and purchasing indexed securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return
characteristics of the fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges
market conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not
correlate well with the fund's investments, these techniques could
result in a loss, regardless of whether the intent was to reduce risk
or increase return. These techniques may increase the volatility of
the fund and may involve a small investment of cash relative to the
magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these techniques could
result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not
perform as promised.
DIRECT DEBT. Loans and other direct debt instruments are interests in
amounts owed to another party by a company, government, or other
borrower. They have additional risks beyond conventional debt
securities because they may entail less legal protection for the fund,
or there may be a requirement that the fund supply additional cash to
a borrower on demand.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined
by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at
an acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities, and some
other securities, may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in
selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to the fund.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not invest more than 10% of its
assets in illiquid securities.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS may include real estate-related instruments.
CASH MANAGEMENT. The fund may invest in money market securities, in
repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to
funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to
seek a high level of current income while maintaining a stable $1.00
share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on the
money market fund's investments could cause its share price to change.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one
industry. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all
securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not invest more than 5% in the securities of any one issuer. This
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities.
The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government
securities.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase
agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject
to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund
makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this
may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI), an affiliate of FMR, is a
means of earning income. This practice could result in a loss or a
delay in recovering the fund's securities. The fund may also lend
money to other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the
fund's total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages
are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder
approval. The following paragraphs restate all those that are
fundamental. All policies stated throughout this prospectus, other
than those identified in the following paragraphs, can be changed
without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks capital appreciation.
With respect to 75% of total assets, the fund may not invest more
than 5% in the securities of any one issuer and may not invest in
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer.
This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities.
The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government
securities.
The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not
in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the fund's total
assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily
operations. Expenses paid out of the fund's assets are reflected in
its share price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to
shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to affiliates who provide
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES,
which are explained on page .
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the
ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified
limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements,
which may be terminated at any time without notice, can decrease the
fund's expenses and boost its performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
T he management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The
fee is determined by cal culating a BASIC FEE and then applying a
PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The performance adjustment either increases or
decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has
performed relative to the S&P 500.

Management = Basic +/- Performance
fee fee adjustment

(checkmark)
UNDERSTANDING THE
MANAGEMENT FEE
The basic fee FMR receives is
designed to be responsive to
changes in FMR's total assets
under management. Building
this variable into the fee
calculation assures
shareholders that they will pay
a lower rate as FMR's assets
under management increase.
Another variable, the
performance adjustment,
rewards FMR when the fund
outperforms the S&P 500 (an
established index of stock
market performance) and
reduces FMR's fee when the
fund underperforms this index.

The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied
by the fund's average net assets throughout the month, and the
resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic
fee. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is
(plus/minus)0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the
performance period.
The total management fee for the fiscal yea r ended July 31,
1998, was 0.65% of the fund's averag e net assets.
FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. These
sub-advisers provide FMR with investment research and advice on
issuers based outside the United States. Under the sub-advisory
agreements, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and
105%, respectively, of the costs of providing these services.
The sub-advisers may also provide investment management services. In
return, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its
management fee rate with respect to the fund's investments that the
sub-adviser manages on a discretionary basis.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's
annual operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
The fund contracts with FSC to perform transfer agency, dividend
disbursing, shareholder servicing, and accounting functions. These
services include processing shareholder transactions, valuing the
fund's investments, handling securities loans, and calculating the
fund's share price and dividends.
For t he fiscal year ended July 1998, the fund paid transfer
agency and pricing and bookkeeping fees equal to 0.22% of its average
net assets. This amount is before expense reductions, if any.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the
compensation of trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity. A
broker-dealer may use a portion of the commissions paid by the fund to
reduce the fund's custodian or transfer agent fees.
The fund has adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. This plan
recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as
its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC
for expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of fund
shares. FMR directly, or through FDC, may make payments to third
parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that engage in the sale of,
or provide shareholder support services for, the fund's shares.
Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments.
The fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended
July 1998 was 109%. This rate varies from year to year. High turnover
rates increase transaction costs and may increase taxable capital
gains. FMR considers these effects when evaluating the anticipated
benefits of short-term investing.

APPROPRIATE CHOICE FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES

(CHECKMARK)
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
AS A FUND SHAREHOLDER, YOU ARE
ENTITLED TO YOUR SHARE OF THE
FUND'S NET INCOME AND GAINS
ON ITS INVESTMENTS. THE FUND
PASSES ITS EARNINGS ALONG TO ITS
INVESTORS AS DISTRIBUTIONS.
THE FUND EARNS DIVIDENDS FROM
STOCKS AND INTEREST FROM BOND,
MONEY MARKET, AND OTHER
INVESTMENTS. THESE ARE PASSED
ALONG AS DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE FUND REALIZES
CAPITAL GAINS WHENEVER IT SELLS
SECURITIES FOR A HIGHER PRICE
THAN IT PAID FOR THEM. THESE
ARE PASSED ALONG AS CAPITAL
GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS.

TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the
fund will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-ad vantaged
retirement account, you should be aware of these tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income
tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions could also be taxed by
the country in which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when
they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are
taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's in come and short-term capital
gains are distributed as dividends and taxed as ordinary income;
capital gain distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every
January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the previous
year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or
loss is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price
you receive when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of the fund, Fidelity will send you a
confirmation statement showing how many shares you sold and at what
price. You will also receive a consolidated transaction statement
every January. However, it is up to you or your tax preparer to
determine whether this sale resulted in a capital gain and, if so, the
amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your regular account
statements; the information they contain will be essential in
calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares when the fund has realized but
not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will pay the full
price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in
the form of a taxable distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may impose taxes on the
fund and its investments, and these taxes generally will reduce
the fund's distribu tions. However, if you meet certain holding
period requirements with respect to your fund shares, an offsetting
tax credit may be available to you. If you do not meet such holding
period requirements, you may still be entitled to a deduction for
certain foreign taxes. In either case, your tax statement will
show more taxable income or capital gains than were actually
distributed by the fund, but will also show the amount of the
available offsetting credit or deduction.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements,
the fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. FSC normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close
of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
THE FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the
number of shares outstanding.
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
on the basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of
changes in a security's market value. Foreign securities are valued on
the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are
traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars
using current exchange rates. In addition, if quotations are not
readily available, or if the values have been materially affected by
events occurring after the closing of a foreign market, assets may be
valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require the fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR
ELECTRONICALLY. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses
resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable
security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor.
Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other
information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted
through the In ternet, Fidelity recom mends the use of an
Internet browser with 1 28-bit encryption. You should verify the
accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive
them. If you do not want the ability to redeem and exchange by
telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during
periods of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by
mail or by visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT to suspend the offering of shares for a
period of time.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be
purchased at the next NAV calculated after your investment is
received in proper form. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number
of checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will
be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or
its transfer agent has incurred.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money
order, U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit
instead.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements
with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by
phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is
priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by
that time, the financial institution could be held liable for
resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at
the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper
form. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to
you on the next business day, but if making immediate payment could
adversely affect the fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day
after your phone call.
(small solid bullet) The fund may hold payment on redemptions until it
is reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity
Money Line have been collected, which can take up to seven business
days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays),
when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
(small solid bullet) You will not receive interest on amounts
represented by uncashed redemption checks.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an
annual maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that
accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year.
Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for
that year. The fee, which is payable to the transfer agent, is
designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing
smaller accounts. This fee will not be deducted from Fidelity
brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except non-prototype
retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if
total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the $30,000
waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number
or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $2,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send
the proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the
day your account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to
qualified recipients who support the sale of shares of the fund
without reimbursement from the fund. Qualified recipients are
securities dealers who have sold fund shares or others, including
banks and other financial institutions, under special arrangements in
connection with FDC's sales activities. In some instances, these
incentives may be offered only to certain institutions whose
representatives provide services in connection with the sale or
expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the
fund for shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the
following:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be
available for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification
number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its
prospectus.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge,
you pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales
charge and any sales charge you have previously paid in connection
with the shares you are exchanging. For example, if you had already
paid a sales charge of 2% on your shares and you exchange them into a
fund with a 3% sales charge, you would pay an additional 1% sales
charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund
performance and shareholders, the fund reserves the right to
temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any
investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per
calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control, including
accounts with the same taxpayer identification number, will be counted
together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
(small solid bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts
in certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange
limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials
for further information.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be
adversely affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if
the fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting
significant portions of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of
exchanges that coincides with a "market timing" strategy may be
disruptive to the fund.
Although the fund will attempt to give you prior notice whenever it is
reasonably able to do so, it may impose these restrictions at any
time. The fund reserves the right to terminate or modify the exchange
privilege in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may
im pose administrative fees of up to 1.00% and trading fees of up to
3.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for
details.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that
may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.
The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the
securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities)
if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be
invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures
contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed
by physical commodities); or
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.
(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment advisor or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase
agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of
fundamental investment limitation (3)). The fund will not borrow from
other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding
borrowings immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the
fund's total assets.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 5% of
the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions " on page .
The following pages contain more detailed information about types
of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ
in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of
related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of
these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions
with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to
be , "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
CLOSED-END INVESTMENT COMPANIES are in vestment companies that
issue a fixed number of shares which trade on a stock exchange or
over-the-counter. Closed-end investment companies are professionally
managed and may invest in any type of security. Shares of
closed-end investment companies may trade at a premium or a discount
to their net asset value. A fund ma y purchase shares of closed-end
investment companies to facilitate investment in certain foreign
countries.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds, debentures, notes,
preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted or
exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the
underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at
a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for
redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and
under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established
upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for
redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for
redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to
a third party.
Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or
loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide
yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower
than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher
yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their
"conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to
be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion
value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time
depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and
interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value,
convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent
because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of
principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities.
However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of
the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same
extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the
underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible
securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time,
however, the difference between the market value of convertible
securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that
the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the
same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because
convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their
value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest
rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk,
and are often lower-quality securities.
EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks
inherent in U.S. investments.
Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political,
economic, regulatory, or social instability, military actio n or
unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by
actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S.
investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization
of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or
on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S.
dollars, or other government intervention. There is no assurance
that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter
their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in
foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to
such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of
the U.S. dollar.
It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some
foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities
of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or
the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer,
securities depository or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs
associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes,
brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than
with U.S. investments.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S.
markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and
standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available,
and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding
corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall
governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges,
brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets
tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain
countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be
influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have
difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.
Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the
United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less
liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject
to such restrictions.
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid"
forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and
Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing
ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued
by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in
the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in
trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the
issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical
custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees
for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and
corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the
underlying foreign securities in their national markets and
currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks
associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks
include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic
risks of the underlying issuer's country.
The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in
emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be
significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets,
reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established
markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets
may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of
nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and
prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less
protection of property rights than more developed countries. The
economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a
few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global
trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt
burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small
number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to
increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of
holdings difficult or impossible at times.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. A fund may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by
entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge
a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the
difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling
various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign
currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should
the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward
contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount
of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a
specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are
generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The
parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the
contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and
complete the contemplated currency exchange.
The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management
strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A
fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and
futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same
purposes.
A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a
fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the
date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is
made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or
sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying
security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the
U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or
sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of
future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign
currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected
by FMR.
A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For
example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it
could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return
for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's
value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge,"
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations,
but would not offset changes in security values caused by other
factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another
currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This
type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would
not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S.
dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to
hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged
securities are denominated.
A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment
exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting
exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign
currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes
known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to
the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that
is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one
currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another.
Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the
hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of
fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set
aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to
cover currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, a
fund will segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if
any, whose purpose is essentially speculative. A fund will not
segregate assets to cover forward contracts entered into for hedging
purposes, including settlement hedges, position hedges, and proxy
hedges.
Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's
skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may
substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in
currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if
currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a
currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling
that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in
the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through
proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge
and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem.
Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency
and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There
is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will
be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund,
however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate
its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of
Directors, and shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such
matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's
investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage,
either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among
others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's
corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a
company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's
direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the
company or a portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing
third-party takeover efforts. This area of corporate activity is
increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could
be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor
such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the
risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if
a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however,
that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities
incurred.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions, Combined
Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures
Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions,
Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures
Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call
Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. The fund will comply
with guidelines established by the SEC with re spect to coverage
of options and futures strategies by mutual funds and, if the
guidelines so require, will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities held
in a segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or option
strategy is outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable
assets. As a result, there is a possibility that segregation of a
large percentage of the fund's assets could impede portfolio
management or the fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other
current obligations.
COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a
call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call
option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined
options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher
transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is
likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a
fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest
in options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily
price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer
agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified
future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell
a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The
price at which the pur chase and sale will take place is fixed when
the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available
futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S.
Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities
prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500). Futures can
be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then
if a liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be
entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the
amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in
losses to the fund.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund has filed a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the equity fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts,
purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than
25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and
options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or
write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon
settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and
written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under
normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the
current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the
fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do
not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with
their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that
incorporate features similar to options.
The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts
and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and
options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, may be changed as regulatory
agencies permit.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except
that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and
are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency
futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The
underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency,
which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S.
dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency
call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the
purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying
currency.
The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to
options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed
above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase
and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure
to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be
purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency
futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can
be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect
other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A
currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security
from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price
decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness.
Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes
in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be
possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the
value of the fund's investments exactly over time.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options
(options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through
negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this
type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater
flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally
involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are
guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they
are traded.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return
for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the
option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, in dices
of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may
terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by
exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the
purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised,
the pu rchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument
at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option
position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current
price, if a liquid secondary market exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option
takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's
purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes
the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying
instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it.
The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before
exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its
current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option,
however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike
price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes,
and must continue to set aside assets to cover its position. When
writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to
make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures
contracts.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed
of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the
prices at which they are valued. Under the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's
investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors
investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the liquidity of a
fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1)
the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and
prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to
make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including any demand or
tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for trades
(including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by FMR to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to repayment of
principal and payment of interest within seven days,
over-the-counter options, and non-government stripped fixed-rate
mortgage-backed securities. Also, FMR may determine some restricted
securities, government-stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities,
loans and other direct debt instruments, emerging market securities,
and swap agreements to be illiquid. However, with respect to
over-the-counter options a fund writes, all or a portion of the value
of the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the assets
held to cover the option and the nature and terms of any agreement the
fund may have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are priced
at fair value as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees.
INDEXED SECURITIES a re in struments whose prices are indexed to
the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies,
precious metals or other commodities, or other financial indicators.
Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or
deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by
reference to a specific instrument or statistic.
Gold-indexed securities typically provide for a maturity value that
depends on the price of gold, resulting in a security whose price
tends to rise and fall together with gold prices. Currency-indexed
securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt
securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by
reference to the values of one or more specified foreign
curre ncies, and may offer higher yields than U.S.
dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be
positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may
increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a
security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument,
or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase,
resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a
put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also
have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign
currencies relative to each other.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instru ment to which
they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes
in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also
subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the
security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's
creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities
have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government
agencies.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FM R or its affiliates. A fund will
lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from an investment in repurchase agreements, and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than
the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans
may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a
bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not
renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a
lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Direct debt instruments are
interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other
borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan
participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or
other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments are
subject to a fund's policies regarding the quality of debt securities.
Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend
primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of
interest and repayment of principal. Direct debt instruments may not
be rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating service. If
scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of
the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans t hat are fully
secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event
of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However,
there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a
secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the
collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose
creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may
be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or
restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a
small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing
countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities
responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling,
to pay interest and repay principal when due.
Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial
institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve
addition al risks . For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the
purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear
the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the
collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal
theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a
co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of
insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary. Direct debt
instruments that are not in the form of securities may offer less
legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or
misrepresentation. In the absence of definitive regulatory guidance,
FMR uses its research to at tempt to avoid situations where
fraud or misrepresentation could adversely affect a fund.
A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution
that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of
the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms
of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse
against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to
apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets
held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be
subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the
purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on
the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or
interest.
Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit
facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate
purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These
commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to
increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not
otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it
unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid. A fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover
its potential obligations under standby financing commitments.
The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in
any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's
inv estment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund
generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held
by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other
lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund
and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the
direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC
interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat
both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as
"issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an
issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in
indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of
intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying
borrowers represent many different companies and industries.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities
have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and
repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are
often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or
price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The
market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than
those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly
in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.
While the market for high-yield corporate debt securities has been in
existence for many years and has weathered previous economic
downturns, the 1980s brought a dramatic increase in the use of such
securities to fund highly leveraged corporate acquisitions and
restructurings. Past experience may not provide an accurate indication
of the future performance of the high-yield bond market, especially
during periods of economic recession.
The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. If market
quotations are not available, lower-quality debt securities will be
valued in accordance with procedures established by the Board of
Trustees, including the use of outside pricing services. Judgment
plays a greater role in valuing high-yield debt securities than is the
case for securities for which more external sources for quotations
and last-sale information are available. Adverse publicity and
changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of
lower-qualit y debt securities and the ability of outside pricing
services to value lower-quality debt securities.
Since the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities,
FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of
managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those
issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is
adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to
improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based
on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage,
earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the
issuer.
A fund m ay choose, at its expense or in conjunction with
others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a
security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders
if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's
shareholders.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS. Equity real estate investment
trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate
investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term
mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of
the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the
issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory
requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of
trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and
are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers,
self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for
tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing
to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to sell that security back to the
original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is
unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As
protection against the risk that the original seller will not
fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account
at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least
equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. While it
does not presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these
transactions (particularly the possibility that the value of the
underlying security will be less than the resale price, as well as
delays and costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy proceedings),
the fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with
parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part
of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse
between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may
be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration
statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to
develop, a fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed
when it decided to seek registration of the security.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. While a reverse repurchase
agreement is outstanding, a fund will maintain appropriate liquid
assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under
the agreement. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in
the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of
leverage.
SECURITIES LENDING. A fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity
Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York
Stock Exchange and a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Since there
may be delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of
rights in collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially,
loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good
standing. Furthermore, they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment,
the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that a
fund may engage in loan transactions only under the following
conditions: (1) the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of
cash or cash equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the
borrower; (2) the borrower must increase the collateral whenever the
market value of the securities loaned (determined on a daily basis)
rises above the value of the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the
fund must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (4) the fund must
receive reasonable interest on the loan or a flat fee from the
borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest, or
other distributions on the securities loaned and to any increase in
market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable custodian fees in
connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees must be able
to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by terminating the
loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in other
eligible securities. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as
well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." A fund may sell securities short
when it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind
or amount to the securities sold short. Such short sales are known
as short sales "against the box." If a fund enters into a short sale
against the box, it will be required to set aside securities
equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or
securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will
be required to hold such securities while the short sale is
outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short
sales against the box.
SWAP AGREEMENTS can be individually negotiated and structured to
include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or
market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may
increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest
rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such
as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many
different forms and are known by a variety of names.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments
only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a
fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap
obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified
interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an
interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a
specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest
rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.
Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from
one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to
exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the
swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S.
interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and
interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or
writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may
increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments
and its share price.
The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is
the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors
that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a
swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be
prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the
counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap
agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.
A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement
either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an
offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly
creditworthy party.
A fund w ill maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated
custodial account to cover its current obligations under swap
agreements. If a fund enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it
will segregate assets with a daily value at least equal to the excess,
if any, of the fund's accrued obligations under the swap agreement
over the accrued amount the fund is entitled to receive under the
agreement. If a fund enters into a swap agreement on other than a net
basis, it will segregate assets with a value equal to the full amount
of the fund's accrued obligations under the agreement.
WARRANTS. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder
to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of
time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond
to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a
warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying
security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital
appreciation as well as capital loss.
Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with
respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in
the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if
it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can
make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and accounts for
which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In selecting
broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the federal
securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors, including,
but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction; the nature
and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold;
the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial
condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution
services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any
commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of fund
expenses.
If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.
Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other accounts
over which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such
services may include advice concerning the value of securities; the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and
the availability of securities or the purchasers or sellers of
securities. In addition, such broker-dealers may furnish analyses and
reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and
effect securities transactions and perform functions incidental
thereto (such as clearance and settlement).
The s election of such broker-dealers for transactions in equity
securities is generally made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent
with execution considerations) in accordance with a ranking of
broker-dealers determined periodically by FMR's investment staff based
upon the quality of research and execution services provided.
For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.
Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, the
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause the fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund
or its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation
should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided
assistance in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of
other Fidelity funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use
research services provided by and place agency transactions with
National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity
Brokerage Services Japan LLC (FBSJ), indirect subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. Prior to December 9, 1997, FMR used research
services provided by and placed agency transactions with Fidelity
Brokerage Services (FBS), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers
(including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with
FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the
commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's
expenses. The transaction quality must, however, be comparable to
those of other qualified broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain
requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board
of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio transactions on
national securities exchanges in accordance with approved procedures
and applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For th e fiscal periods ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, the fund's
portfolio turnover rates were 109% and 14 1 %, respectively.
Because a high turnover rate increases transaction costs and may
increase taxable gains, FMR carefully weighs the anticipated benefits
of short-term investing against these consequences.
For the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund paid
brokerage commissions of $ 7,748,000 , $ 6,605,000 , and
$ 2,075,000 , respectively. Significant changes in brokerage
commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from
changing asset levels throughout the year. The fund may pay both
commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions.
During the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund paid
brokerage commissions of $ 1,502,000 , $ 1,531,000 , and
$ 620,000 , respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission
basis. During the fiscal year ended July 1998, this amounted to
approximately 19.4 % of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid
by the fund for transactions involving approximately 29.4 % of
the aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid
brokerage commissions. The difference between the percentage of
aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the
aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFSC is a
result of the low commission rates charged by NFSC.
During the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997 and 1996, the fund paid
brokerage commissions of $ 0 , $ 3,000 and $ 3,000 ,
respectively, to FBS. FBS is paid on a commission basis.
During the fiscal year ended July 1998, the fund paid
$ 7,448,000 in brokerage commissions to firms that provided
research services involving approximately $ 9,325,076,000 of
transactions. The provision of research services was not necessarily a
factor in the placement of all this business with such firms.
The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity
with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase
securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of
FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the fund could purchase in the underwriting.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
the fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of
other funds managed by FMR or accounts managed by FMR affiliates. It
sometimes happens that the same security is held in the portfolio of
more than one of these funds or accounts. Simultaneous transactions
are inevitable when several funds and accounts are managed by the same
investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable
for the investment objective of more than one fund or account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
FSC normally determines the fund's net asset value per share (NAV) as
of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (normally 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time). The valuation of portfolio securities is determined as
of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.
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 United States 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 United
States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale
price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last
sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated
quote or last bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end
investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
Fixed-income securities and other assets for which market quotations
are readily available may be valued at market values determined by
such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets. Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may be
valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that
uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of
pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing
services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available.
Foreign securities are valued based on prices furnished by independent
brokers or quotation services which express the value of securities in
their local currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates daily at the
close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency
and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local
currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward
contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are
included in the calculation of NAV. If an extraordinary event that is
expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs
after the close of an exchange on which that security is traded, then
that security will be valued as determined in good faith by a
committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing
service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value. In addition, securities and other assets for which
there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith
by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. The procedures set
forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities
owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the
fair market value of such securities.
PERFORMANCE
The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price and
total return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other
factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or
less than their original cost.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect
all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's
NAV over a stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated
by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative total return
of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual total return of
7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100%
growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual total
returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives,
investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant
over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the fund may quote
unaveraged or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in
value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and
cumulative total returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar
amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of
investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Total
returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital
(including capital gains and changes in share price) in order to
illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions
to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a before-tax or
after-tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to
exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid
by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise
indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales
charges, if any.
MOVING AVERAGES. A growth fund may illustrate performance using moving
averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's
adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving
average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a
specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted
closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving
averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an
NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving
average. On July 31, 1998, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving
averages were $28.0 7 and $25. 87 , respectively.
CALCULATING HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table
shows performance for the fund calculated including certain fund
expenses.

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the
fund's cumulative total return. The table compares the fund's return
to the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the Dow
Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living, as measured
by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The CPI
information is as of the month-end closest to the initial investment
date for the fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to
show how the fund's total return compared to the record of a broad
unmanaged index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major
industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund has
the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and
its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to
the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of
unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not
include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of
investing.
During the period from April 27, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to July 31, 1998, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in
Dividend Growth would have grown to $35,096, assuming all
distributions were reinvested. Total returns are based on past
results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax
consequences of different investments have not been factored into the

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund
on April 27, 1993, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000.
The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the
aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions
for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were
reinvested) amounted to $14,737. If distributions had not been
reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time
would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have
amounted to $350 for dividends and $3 , 920 for capital gain
distributions.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on total return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do
not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are
prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual
fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond,
and money market mutual fund performance indices prepared by Lipper or
other organizations. When comparing these indices, it is important to
remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of
investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability
of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to
other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising.
The fund's performance may also be compared to that of a benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The total return of a benchmark index reflects reinvestment of
all dividends and capital gains paid by securities included in the
index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index returns do not
reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of
investing directly in the securities included in the index.
The fund may compare its performance to that of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks.
The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository
institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several
respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee your principal
or your return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in
the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance
to that of other compilations or indices that may be developed and
made available in the future.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(Registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
total returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark
correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All
measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages
of historical data.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the
fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.
The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.
The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or
other programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes,
which may produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a
$1,000 investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have
an after-tax value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was
deducted from the return each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent
tax-deferred investment would have an after-tax value of $2,100 after
ten years, assuming tax was deducted at a 31% rate from the
tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year period.
As of July 31, 1998, FMR advised over $ 31 billion in
municipal fund assets, $ 107 billion in money market fund
assets, $ 460 billion in equity fund assets, $ 71 billion
in international fund assets, and $ 27 billion in Spartan fund
assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market
mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the
industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates
maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the
purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The fund is open for business and its NAV is calculated each day the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for tr ading. The NYSE
has designated the following holiday closings for 1998: New Year's
Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday, Presidents' Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Independence Day (observed), Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day, and Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule
to be observed in the future, the NYSE may modify its holiday
sched ule at any time. In addition, on days when the Federal
Reserve Wire System is closed, federal funds wires cannot be sent.
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculated
earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the
SEC. To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other
markets on days when the NYSE is closed, the fund's NAV may be
affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of a fund's
portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is open for
business.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, the fund is required to
give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or
modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day
notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a
modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the
time of an exchange, or (ii) the fund suspends the redemption of the
shares to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules
and regulations thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the
sale of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively
in accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, the fund has notified shareholders that it reserves
the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. A port ion of the fund's income may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to
the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying
dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as
interest, income from securities loans, non-qualifying dividends, and
short-term capital gains, the percentage of dividends from the fund
that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. The
fund will notify corporate shareholders annually of the percentage of
fund dividends that qualifies for the dividends-received deduction. A
portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government
securities may be exempt from state and local taxation. Gains (losses)
attributable to foreign currency fluctuations are generally taxable as
ordinary income, and therefore will increase (decrease) dividend
distributions. If the fund's distributions exceed its net
investment company taxable income during a taxable year, all or a
portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year would be
recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders, thereby
reducing each shareholder's cost basis in the fund. Short-term
capital gains are distributed as dividend income. The fund will send
each shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of
dividends and capital gain distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length
of time shareholders have held their shares. If a share holder
receives a capital gain distribution on shares of the fund, and such
shares are held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the
portion of the loss equal to the amount of the capital gain
distribution will be considered a long-term loss for tax purposes.
Short-term capital gains distributed by the fund are taxable to
shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains.
As of July 31, 1998, the fund hereby designates approximately
$ 150,121,000 as a capital gain dividend for the purpose of the
dividend-paid deduction.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign
governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with
respect to foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently
anticipate that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more
than 50% of its total assets at the end of its fiscal year,
shareholders should not expect to claim a foreign tax credit or
deduction on their federal income tax returns with respect to foreign
taxes withheld.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company
and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund
level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net
investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar
year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with
other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of
Fidelity Securities Fund for tax purposes.
If a fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities,
defined as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in the
Internal Revenue Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on
a portion of any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of
such shares. Interest charges may also be imposed on a fund with
respect to deferred taxes arising from such dis tributions or gains.
Generally, the fund will elect to mark-to-market any PFIC shares.
Unrealized gains will be recognized as income fo r tax purposes and
must be distributed to shareholders as dividends.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be
subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may
be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors
should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is
suitable to their particular tax situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures
for personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For
example, all personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance,
and participation in initial public offerings is prohibited. In
addition, restrictions on the timing of personal investing in relation
to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term trading have been
adopted.

* Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 1997 for
230 funds in the complex.
** Interested Trustees of the fund and Mr. Burkhead are compensated by
FMR.
A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be
deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of
Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 1997, the Trustees
accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows:
Ralph F. Cox, $75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates,
$62,500; E. Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk, $75,000; William
O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L. Mann,
$75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the
non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $53,699; Marvin L. Mann,
$53,699; and Thomas R. Williams, $62,462.
B Compensation figures include cash .
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred
under the Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though
equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a
cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major
investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets
under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately
received by the Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to
the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of
fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a
fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not
obligate a fund to retain the services of any Trustee or to pay any
particular level of compensation to the Trustee. A fund may invest in
the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.
As of July 31, 1998, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and
officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1 % of
the fund's total outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant
to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract
with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and
limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters, and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the
registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and
securities lending agent, as applicable, the fund pays all of its
expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the
typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to
shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor
and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further
provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing
prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and
reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's
transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of
providing these services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid
by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEE. For the services of FMR under the management contract,
the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a
basic fee, which is the sum of a group fee rate and an individual fund
fee rate, and a performance adjustment based on a comparison of the
fund's performance to that of the S&P 500.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $ 648 billion of group net assets - the approx imate
level for July 1998 - was 0.2875 %, which is the weighted
average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets
up to $ 648 billion.
The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.30%. Based on the
average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for July 1998,
the fund's annual basic fee rate would be calculated as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Basic Fee Rate

Dividend Growth 0. 2875 % + 0.30% = 0. 5875 %

</TABLE>

One-twelfth of this annual basic fee rate is applied to the fund's net
assets averaged for the most recent month, giving a dollar amount,
which is the fee for that month.
COMPUTING THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The basic fee for Dividend
Growth is subject to upward or downward adjustment, depending upon
whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the
performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record of the S&P
500 (the Index) over the same period. The performance period consists
of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.
Each percentage point of difference, calculated to the nearest 1.00%
(up to a maximum difference of (plus/minus)10.00) is multiplied by a
performance adjustment rate of 0.02%.
The performance comparison is made at the end of each month. One
twelfth (1/12) of this rate is then applied to the fund's average net
assets for the entire performance period, giving a dollar amount which
will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.
The maximum annualized adjustment rate is (plus/minus)0.20% of the
fund's average net assets over the performance period.
The fund's performance is calculated based on change in NAV. For
purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or
capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if
reinvested in that fund's shares at the NAV as of the record date for
payment. The record of the Index is based on change in value and is
adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose
securities compose the Index.
Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on the fund's
performance compared to the investment record of the Index, the
controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down
per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of
the Index. Moreover, the comparative investment performance of the
fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard
to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid FMR management fees of $ 34,480,000 , $ 17,498,000 and
$ 4,908,000 , respectively. The amount of these management fees
include both the basic fee and the amount of the performance
adjustment, if any. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997,
and 1996 the upward performance adjustments amounted to
$ 3,114,000 , $ 1,411,000, and $408,000 ,
respectively.
During the reporting period, FMR voluntarily modified the
breakpoints in the group fee rate schedule on January 1, 1996 to
provide for lower management fee rates as FMR's assets under
management increase.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision
or termination. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense
reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior
to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's total returns,
and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its total
returns.
SUB-ADVISERS. On behalf of Dividend Growth, FMR has entered into
sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. Pursuant to
the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive investment advice and
research services outside the United States from the sub-advisers.
On behalf of the fund, FMR may also grant the sub-advisers investment
management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell
securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in
countries other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia,
and the Pacific Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East, which were organized in 1986, are wholly
owned subsidiaries of FMR. Under the sub-advisory agreements FMR pays
the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. For providing non-discretionary
investment advice and research services, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far
East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR
Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment
advice and research services.
On behalf of the fund, for providing discretionary investment
management and executing portfolio transactions, FMR pays FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee rate
(including any performance adjustment) with respect to the fund's
average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary
basis.
For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to
the sub-advisers by FMR for the past three fiscal years are shown in
the table below.
Fiscal Year Ended FMR U.K. FMR Far East
July 31

1998 $ 148,066 $ 141,169

1997 $ 76,840 $ 77,069

1996 $ 17,294 $ 17,735

For discretionary investment management and execution of portfolio
transactions, no fees were paid to FMR U.K. and FMR Far East by FMR on
behalf of the fund for the past three fiscal years.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf
of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not
engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the fund of distribution expenses.
Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of fund shares.
In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
make payments to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that
engage in the sale of fund shares, or provide shareholder support
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such
payments for Dividend Growth shares.
FMR made no payments either directly or through FDC to third parties
for the fiscal year ended 1998.
Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than
those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the
extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support
services may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local
entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling, or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the fund might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an
affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs
transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the
fund.
For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account
fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each
a ccount in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional
accounts, these fees are based on account size and fund type. For
certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on
fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these
f ees are based on account type (i.e., omnibus or non-omnibus) and,
for non-omnibus accounts, fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.
The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date
total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.
FSC also collects small account fees from certain accounts with
balances of less than $2,500.
In ad dition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer
agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified state
tuition program (QSTP), as defined under the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and each
Fidel ity Freedom Fund, a fund of funds managed by an FMR
affiliate, according to the percentage of the QSTP's or Freedom Fund's
assets that is invested in the fund.
FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC.
Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends
for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting
records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.
For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.
The annual fee rates for pricing and bookkeeping services are 0.0600%
of the first $500 million of average net assets and 0.0300% of average
net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee, not including
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of
$60,000 and a maximum of $800,000 per year.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the
fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement
for related out-of-pocket expenses, of $ 812,000 ,
$ 742,000 , and $ 374,000 , respectively.
For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC receives
fees based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid no securities lending fees.
The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR organized as a Massachusetts corporation on July 18,
1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all
reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure
purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at
NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the
offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund is a fund of
Fidelity Securities Fund, an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 2, 1984.
Currently, there are four funds of the trust: Fidelity OTC Portfolio,
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio, Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund,
and Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund. The Declaration of Trust permits
the Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the trust
or a fund, the right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name
"Fidelity" may be withdrawn.
The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of
each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject only to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund are segregated on the books of account,
and are to be charged with the liabilities with respect to such fund
and with a share of the general expenses of the trust. Expenses with
respect to the trust are to be allocated in proportion to the asset
value of the respective funds, except where allocations of direct
expense can otherwise be fairly made. The officers of the trust,
subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees, have the
power to determine which expenses are allocable to a given fund, or
which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the event of
the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each fund
are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is an entity of the type
commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under
Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
trust. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have
any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase
price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or
instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees
include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the
trust and its assets. The Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they
have exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects Trustees
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their
office.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you receive one vote for each dollar value
of net asset value you own. The shares have no preemptive or
conversion rights; the voting and dividend rights, the right of
redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the
Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set
forth under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability" above.
Shareholders representing 10% or more of the trust or a fund may, as
set forth in the Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the trust or a
fund for any purpose related to the trust or fund, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose
of voting on removal of one or more Trustees. The trust or any fund
may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to another open-end
management investment company, or upon liquidation and distribution of
its assets, if approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
trust or the fund, as determined by the current value of each
shareholder's investment in the fund or trust. If not so terminated,
the trust and its funds will continue indefinitely. Each fund may
invest all of its assets in another investment company.
CUSTODIAN. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian
is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the
appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The
custodian takes no part in determining the investment policies of a
fund or in deciding which securities are purchased or sold by a fund.
However, a fund may invest in obligations of the custodian and may
purchase securities from or sell securities to the custodian. The Bank
of New York and The Chase Manhattan Bank, each headquartered in New
York, also may serve as special purpose custodians of certain assets
in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the
Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with
various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds
advised by FMR. The Boston branch of the fund's custodian leases its
office space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when
entered into, was consistent with prevailing market rates.
Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal
and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and
conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or
potential custodial or other fund relationships.
AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP , One Post Office Square,
Boston, Massachusetts serves as the trust's independent accountant.
The auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides
other audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The f und's financial statements and financial highlights for
the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998 , and report of the auditor, are
included in the fund's Annual Report, which is a separate report
supplied with this SAI. The fund's financial statements, including the
financial highlights, and report of the auditor are incorporated
herein by reference. For a free additional copy of the fund's Annual
Report, contact Fidelity at 1-800-544-8888, 82 Devonshire Street,
Boston, MA 02109.
APPENDIX
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS
Moody's ratings for obligations with an original remaining maturity in
excess of one year fall within nine categories. They range from Aaa
(highest quality) to C (lowest quality). Moody's applies numerical
modifiers of 1, 2, or 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa
through B. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the
higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a
mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks
on the lower end of its generic rating category.
AAA - Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
referred to as "gilt edged." Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.
While the various protective elements are likely to change, such
changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are
generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the
best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than the Aaa securities.
A - Bonds that are rated A possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered
adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to
impairment sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds that are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade
obligations, (i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly
secured). Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for
the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such
bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds that are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements;
their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the
future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds that are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or
of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of
time may be small.
CAA - Bonds that are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may
be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect
to principal or interest.
CA - Bonds that are rated Ca represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have
other marked short-comings.
C - Bonds that are rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of
ever attaining any real investment standing.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS
Debt issues may be designated by Standard & Poor's as either
investment grade ("AAA" through "BBB") or speculative grade ("BB"
through "D"). While speculative grade debt will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions. Ratings from
AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus sign (+) or minus
sign (-) to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt
in higher rated categories.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in
higher-rated categories.
BB - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than
other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely
interest and principal payments. The BB rating category is also used
for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied BBB- rating.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently
has the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments.
Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair
capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to
default, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and
economic conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment
of principal. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions, it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. The CCC rating category is also used for debt
subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B or
B- rating.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C
rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition
has been filed but debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest
is being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used
when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date
due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The
D rating will also be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if
debt service payments are jeopardized.

KEY FACTS

THE FUND AT A GLANCE
GOAL: Capital appreciation (increase in the value of the fund's
shares). As with any mutual fund, there is no assurance that the fund
will achieve its goal.
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in equity securities traded on the
over-the-counter market.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the
management arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946
and is now America's largest mutual fund manager. Foreign
affiliates of FMR may help choose investments for the fund.
SIZE: As of July 31, 1998 , the fund had over $ 4.4
billion in assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
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 are looking for an
investment that focuses on the over-the-counter market. The strategy
may lead to investments in smaller companies.
The value of the fund's investments will vary from day to day, and
generally reflect market conditions, interest rates, and other
company, political, or economic news. In the short-term, stock prices
can fluctuate dramatically in response to these factors. The
securities of small, less well-known companies may be more volatile
than those of larger companies. Over time, however, stocks have shown
greater growth potential than other types of securities. When you sell
your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for
them. By itself, the fund does not constitute a balanced investment
plan.

EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy
or sell shares of the fund. In addition, you may be charged an annual
account maintenance fee if your account balance falls below $2,500.
See "Transaction Details," page , for an explanation of how and
when these charges apply.
Sales charge on purchases None
and reinvested distributions

Deferred sales charge on redemptions None

Annual account maintenance fee $12.00
(for accounts under $2,500)

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The
fund pays a management fee to FMR that varies based on its
performance. It also incurs other expenses for services such as
maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements
and financial reports. The fund's expenses are factored into its share
price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses" page ).
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to
reflect current fees, of the fund and are calculated as a
percentage of average net assets of the fund. A portion of the
brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to reduce the fund's
expenses. In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its
custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of
uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian and transfer
agent expenses. Including these reductions, the total fund operating
expenses presented in the table would have been 0.75%.

UNDERSTANDING
EXPENSES
Operating a mutual fund
involves a variety of expenses
for portfolio management,
shareholder statements, tax
reporting, and other services.
These expenses are paid from
the fund's assets, and their
effect is already factored into
any quoted share price or
return. Also, as an investor,
you may pay certain expenses
directly.

Management fee 0.50 %

12b-1 fee None

Other expenses 0.26 %

Total fund operating expenses 0.76 %

1 year $ 8

3 years $ 24

5 years $ 42

10 years $ 94

These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected expenses or returns, all of which
may vary.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights table that follows has been audited by
PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants. The fund's

PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance is commonly measured as TOTAL RETURN. The
total returns that follow are based on historical fund results and do
not reflect the effect of taxes.
The fund's fiscal year runs from August 1 through July 31. The tables

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated
period of time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate
of return that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same
cumulative total return if performance had been constant over the
entire period. Average annual total returns smooth out variations in
performance; they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.
NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX is an unmanaged index of the National Market
System which includes over 5,000 stocks traded only over-the-counter
and not on an exchange.
Unlike the fund's returns, the total returns of the comparative index
do not include the effect of any brokerage commissions, transaction
fees, or other costs of investing.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. Government.
THE COMPETITIVE FUNDS AVERAGE is the Lipper Mid-Cap Funds Average. As
of July 31, 1998 , the average reflected the performance of
294 mutual funds with similar investment objectives. This
average, published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., excludes the
effect of sales loads.

THE FUND IN DETAIL

CHARTER
OTC IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money and
invests it toward a specified goal. The fund is a diversified fund of
Fidelity Securities Fund, an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 2, 1984.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the
fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that
provide services to the fund, and review the fund's performance. The
trustees serve as trustees for other Fidelity funds. The majority of
trustees are not otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY
MATERIALS. These meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees,
change fundamental policies, approve a management contract, or for
other purposes. Shareholders not attending these meetings are
encouraged to vote by proxy. Fidelity will mail proxy materials
in advance, including a voting card and information about the
proposals to be voted on. The number of votes you are entitled to is
based upon the dollar value of your investment.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The fund is managed by FMR, which chooses the fund's investments and
handles its business affairs.
Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments:
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc.
(FMR U.K.), in London, England, serves as a sub-adviser for the fund.

(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research Far East Inc.
(FMR Far East), in Tokyo, Japan, serves as a sub-adviser for the
fund.
Robert Bertelson is Vice President and manager of OTC, which he
has managed since January 1997. Previously, he managed other Fidelity
funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1991, Mr. Bertelson has worked as an
analyst and manager.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services.
Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) performs transfer agent servicing
functions for the fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR, FMR U.K. and FMR Far
East. Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant
owners of a class of shares of common stock representing approximately
49% of the voting power of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the 1940 Act), control of a company is presumed where one
individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company; therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed
under the 1940 Act to form a controlling group with respect to FMR
Corp.
FMR may use its broker-dealer affiliates and other firms that sell
fund shares to carry out the fund's transactions, provided that the
fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to
those of other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
THE FUND seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in
securities traded on the over-the-counter (OTC) market. FMR normally
invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in securities
principally traded on the OTC market. The fund focuses on common stock
but may invest in securities of all types.
In the OTC market, securities are traded through a telephone or
computer network that connects securities dealers. A security that
trades solely on the OTC market is not traded on the floor of an
organized exchange. Securities that begin to trade principally on an
exchange after purchase continue to be considered OTC securities for
the purposes of the 65% policy.
The fund does not place any emphasis on income, except when FMR
believes income will have a favorable influence on the
security's market value.
The value of t he fund's investments varies in response to many
factors. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of
individual companies and general market and economic conditions.
FMR may use various investment techniques to hedge a portion of the
fund's risks, but there is no guarantee that these strategies will
work as FMR intends. As a mutual fund, the fund seeks to spread
investment risk by diversifying its holdings among many companies and
industries. When you sell your shares of the fund, they may be worth
more or less than what you paid for them.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The fund also reserves the right to invest without
limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments
for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in
this section. A complete listing of the fund's limitations and more
detailed information about the fund's investments are contained in the
fund's SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that they are consistent with the fund's
investment objective and policies and that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal. Fund holdings and recent investment strategies are
detailed in the fund's financial reports, which are sent to
shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
1-800-544-8888.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks,
convertible securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar
type, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation.
Although equity securities have a history of long-term growth in
value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company's
financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.
Smaller companies are especially sensitive to these factors.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not invest in more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of a single issuer.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers
to borrow money from investors. The issuer generally pays the investor
a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the
amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon
bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from
their face values.
Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in
interest rates and varying degrees of credit quality. In general, bond
prices rise when interest rates fall, and fall when interest rates
rise. Longer-term bonds and zero coupon bonds are generally more
sensitive to interest rate changes.
In addition, bond prices are also affected by the credit quality of
the issuer. Investment-grade debt securities are medium- and
high-quality securities. Some, however, may possess speculative
characteristics, and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to
changes in the financial condition of issuers.
RESTRICTIONS: Purchase of a debt security is consistent with the
fund's debt quality policy if it is rated at or above the stated level
by Moody's Investors Service or rated in the equivalent categories by
Standard & Poor's, or is unrated but judged to be of equivalent
quality by FMR. The fund currently intends to limit its investments in
lower than Baa-quality debt securities (sometimes called "junk bonds")
to 5% of its assets.
EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve additional risks and considerations. These
include risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory
conditions in foreign countries; fluctuations in foreign currencies;
withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and
other operational risks; and the potentially less stringent
investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be
unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require
that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. All of these factors
can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging
markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S.
investments.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a
security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the
agreement defaults or becomes insolvent.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. The fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices,
interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other
factors that affect security values. These techniques may involve
derivative transactions such as buying and selling options and futures
contracts, entering into currency exchange contracts or swap
agreements, and purchasing indexed securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return
characteristics of the fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges
market conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not
correlate well with the fund's investments, these techniques could
result in a loss, regardless of whether the intent was to reduce risk
or increase return. These techniques may increase the volatility of
the fund and may in volve a small investment of cash relative to
the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these techniques could
result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not
perform as promised.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined
by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at
an acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities, and some
other securities, may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in
selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to the fund.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not invest more than 10% of its
assets in illiquid securities.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS may includ e r eal estate-related instruments.
CASH MANAGEMENT. The fund may invest in money market securities, in
repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to
funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to
seek a high level of current income while maintaining a stable $1.00
share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on the
money market fund's investments could cause its share price to change.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one
industry. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all
securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not invest more than 5% in the securities of any one issuer.
This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities.
The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry.
This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates , or through reverse repurchase
agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject
to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund
makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this
may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI), an affiliate of FMR, is a
means of earning income. This practice could result in a loss or a
delay in recovering the fund's securities. The fund may also lend
money to other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the
fund's total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages
are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder
approval. The following paragraphs restate all those that are
fundamental. All policies stated throughout this prospectus, other
than those identified in the following paragraphs, can be changed
without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks cap ital appreciation by investing primarily in
securities traded on the over-the-counter securities market. OTC
securities mean securities principally traded on the over-the-counter
market which may be listed for trading on the New York or American
Stock Exchange, or a foreign exchange, and may include American
Depositary Receipts and securities eligible for unlisted trading
privileges on such exchanges. No emphasis is placed on dividend income
except when FMR believes this income will have a favorable influence
on the market value of the security. The fund may also make
substantial temporary investments in debt obligations for defensive
purposes when FMR believes market conditions warrant.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may not invest
more than 5% in the securities of any one issuer and may not
invest in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
a single issuer. These limitations do not apply to U.S. Government
securities.
The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government
securities.
The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not
in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the fund's total
assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily
operations. Expenses paid out of the fund's assets are reflected in
its share price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to
shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to affiliates who provide
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES,
which are explained on page .
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the
ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified
limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements,
which may be terminated at any time without notice, can decrease the
fund's expenses and boost its performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee
is determined by calculating a BASIC FEE and then applying a
PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The performance adjustment either increases or
decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has
performed relative to the NASDAQ Composite Index.

(checkmark)
UNDERSTANDING THE
MANAGEMENT FEE
The basic fee FMR receives is
designed to be responsive to
changes in FMR's total assets
under management. Building
this variable into the fee
calculation assures
shareholders that they will pay
a lower rate as FMR's assets
under management increase.
Another variable, the
performance adjustment,
rewards FMR when the fund
outperforms the NASDAQ
Composite Index (an
established index of stock
market performance) and
reduces FMR's fee when the
fund underperforms this index.

Management = Basic +/- Performance
fee fee adjustment

THE BASIC FEE is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an
individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying
the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the
month.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.
For July 1998 , the group fee rate was 0 .2875 %. The
individual fund fee rate is 0.35%. The basic fee for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1998 was 0.64 % of the fund's average
net assets.
THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT rate is calculated monthly by comparing the
fund's performance to that of the NASDAQ Composite Index over the
performance period.
The performance period is the most recent 36-month period.
The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied
by the fund's average net assets throughout the month and the
resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic
fee. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is
(plus/minus)0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the
performance period.
The total management fee for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998
was 0.50 % of the fund's average net assets.
FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. These
sub-advisers provide FMR with investment research and advice on
issuers based outside the United States. Under the sub-advisory
agreements, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and
105%, respectively, of the costs of providing these services.
The sub-advisers may also provide investment management services. In
return, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its
management fee rate with respect to the fund's investments that the
sub-adviser manages on a discretionary basis.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's
annual operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
The fund contracts with FSC to perform transfer agency, dividend
disbursing, shareholder servicing, and accounting functions. These
services include processing shareholder transactions, valuing the
fund's investments, handling securities loans, and calculating the
fund's share price and dividends.
For the fiscal year ended July 1998 , the fund paid transfer
agency and pricing and bookkeeping fees equal to 0.24 % of its
average net assets. This amount is before expense reductions, if
any.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the
compensation of trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity. A
broker-dealer may use a portion of the commissions paid by the fund to
reduce the fund's custodian or transfer agent fees.
The fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended July
1998 was 125%. This rate varies from year to year. High turnover
rates increase transaction costs and may increase taxable capital
gains. FMR considers these effects when evaluating the anticipated
benefits of short-term investing.

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES

TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the
fund will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-advantaged
retirement account, you should be aware of these tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income
tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions could also be taxed by
the country in which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when
they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are
taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital
gains are distributed as dividends and taxed as ordinary income;
capital gain distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains.
Every January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement
showing the tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the
previous year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or
loss is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price
you receive when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of the fund, Fidelity will send you a
confirmation statement showing how many shares you sold and at what
price. You will also receive a consolidated transaction statement
every January. However, it is up to you or your tax preparer to
determine whether this sale resulted in a capital gain and, if so, the
amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your regular account
statements; the information they contain will be essential in
calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares when the fund has realized but
not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will pay the full
price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in
the form of a taxable distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may impose taxes on the
fund and its investments, and these taxes generally will reduce the
fund's distributions.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements,
the fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. FSC normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close
of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
THE FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the
number of shares outstanding.
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
on the basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of
changes in a security's market value. Foreign securities are valued on
the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are
traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars
using current exchange rates. In addition, if quotations are not
readily available, or if the values have been materially affected by
events occurring after the closing of a foreign market, assets may be
valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require the fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONICALLY.
Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from
unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures
designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request
personalized security codes or other information, and may also record
calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity
recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption.
You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements
immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to
redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during
periods of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by
mail or by visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT to suspend the offering of shares for a
period of time.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be
purchased at the next NAV calculated after your investment is
received in proper form . Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number
of checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will
be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or
its transfer agent has incurred.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money
order, U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit
instead.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements
with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by
phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is
priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by
that time, the financial institution could be held liable for
resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at
the next NAV calculated after your order is received in
proper form . Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to
you on the next business day, but if making immediate payment could
adversely affect the fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day
after your phone call.
(small solid bullet) The fund may hold payment on redemptions until it
is reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity
Money Line have been collected, which can take up to seven business
days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays),
when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
(small solid bullet) You will not receive interest on amounts
represented by uncashed redemption checks.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an
annual maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that
accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year.
Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for
that year. The fee, which is payable to the transfer agent, is
designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing
smaller accounts. This fee will not be deducted from Fidelity
brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except non-prototype
retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if
total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the $30,000
waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number
or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $2,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send
the proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the
day your account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to
qualified recipients who support the sale of shares of the fund
without reimbursement from the fund. Qualified recipients are
securities dealers who have sold fund shares or others, including
banks and other financial institutions, under special arrangements in
connection with FDC's sales activities. In some instances, these
incentives may be offered only to certain institutions whose
representatives provide services in connection with the sale or
expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the
fund for shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the
following:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be
available for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification
number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its
prospectus.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge,
you pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales
charge and any sales charge you have previously paid in connection
with the shares you are exchanging. For example, if you had already
paid a sales charge of 2% on your shares and you exchange them into a
fund with a 3% sales charge, you would pay an additional 1% sales
charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund
performance and shareholders, the fund reserves the right to
temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any
investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per
calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control, including
accounts with the same taxpayer identification number, will be counted
together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
(small solid bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts
in certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange
limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials
for further information.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be
adversely affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if
the fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting
significant portions of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of
exchanges that coincides with a "market timing" strategy may be
disruptive to the fund.
Although the fund will attempt to give you prior notice whenever it is
reasonably able to do so, it may impose these restrictions at any
time. The fund reserves the right to terminate or modify the exchange
privilege in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to 1.00% and trading fees of up to 3.00%
of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. Because the market for most OTC securities is
made by market makers or dealers, rather than on an exchange,
FMR will place most of its orders with dealers. Ordinarily commissions
are not charged on such orders. Thus, the fund should incur a
relatively small amount of commission expenses. When the fund places
an order with a dealer, it pays a spread, which is included in the
cost of the security, and is the difference between the dealer's cost
and the cost to the fund. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and accounts for
which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In selecting
broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the federal
securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors, including,
but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction; the nature
and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold;
the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial
condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution
services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any
commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of fund
expenses.
If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.
Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other accounts
over which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such
services may include advice concerning the value of securities; the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and
the availability of securities or the purchasers or sellers of
securities. In addition, such broker-dealers may furnish analyses and
reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and
effect securities transactions and perform functions incidental
thereto (such as clearance and settlement).
The selection of such broker-dealers for transactions in equity
securities is generally made by FMR (to the extent possible
consistent with execution considerations) in accordance with a ranking
of broker-dealers determined periodically by FMR's investment staff
based upon the quality of research and execution services provided.
For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering
investment management services to that fund or its other
clients, and conversely, such research provided by broker-dealers who
have executed transaction orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be
useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations to a fund. The
receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal independent
research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the additional
expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop comparable
information through its own efforts.
Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
the fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency
transactions that are in excess of the amount of commissions charged
by other broker-dealers in recognition of its research and execution
services. In order to cause the fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that
fund or its other clients. In reaching this determination,
FMR will not attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage
and research services provided, or to determine what portion of the
compensation should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided
assistance in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of
other Fidelity funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use
research services provided by and place agency transactions with
National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity
Brokerage Services Japan LLC (FBSJ) , indirect subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. Prior to December 9, 1997, FMR used research
services provided by and placed agency transactions with Fidelity
Brokerage Services (FBS), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers
(including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into
arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a
portion of the commissions paid by a fund toward the
reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction quality must,
however, be comparable to those of other qualified broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain
requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board
of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio transactions on
national securities exchanges in accordance with approved procedures
and applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal periods ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 , the
fund's portfolio turnover rates were 125 % and 147%,
respectively. Because a high turnover rate increases transaction costs
and may increase taxable gains, carefully weighs the anticipated
benefits of short-term investing against these consequences.
Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of
shareholder purchase and redemption orders, market conditions, or
changes in FMR's investment outlook .
For the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $1,982,000, $2,038,000, and
$1,373,000, respectively. Significant changes in brokerage
commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from
changing asset levels throughout the year. The fund may pay both
commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions.
During the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $147,000, $240,000, and $244,000 ,
respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis.
During the fiscal year ended July 1998 , this amounted to
approximately 7% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by
the fund for transactions involving approximately 10% of the
aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid
brokerage commissions. The difference between the percentage of
aggregate brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of
the aggregate dollar amount of transactions effected through,
NFSC is a result of the low commission rates charged by NFSC.
During the fiscal years ended July 1998, July 1997, and July 1996,
the fund paid brokerage commissions of $0, $26,000 and $13,000,
respectively, to FBS. FBS is paid on a commission basis. During the
fiscal year ended July 1998, this amounted to approximately
0% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for
transactions involving approximately 0% of the aggregate dollar
amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions.
During the fiscal year ended July , 199 8 , the fund paid
$ 1,795,000 in brokerage commissions to firms that
provided research services involving approximately
$ 1,718,998,000 of transactions. The provision of research
services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all this
business with such firms.
The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity
with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase
securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of
FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the fund could purchase in the underwriting.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
the fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates ,
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of
other funds managed by FMR or accounts managed by FMR affiliates. It
sometimes happens that the same security is held in the portfolio of
more than one of these funds or accounts. Simultaneous transactions
are inevitable when several funds and accounts are managed by the same
investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable
for the investment objective of more than one fund or account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) normally determines the fund's
net asset value per share (NAV) as of the close of the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The valuation of
portfolio securities is determined as of this time for the purpose of
computing the fund's NAV.
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 United States 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 United
States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale
price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last
sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated
quote or last bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end
investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
Fixed-income securities and other assets for which market quotations
are readily available may be valued at market values determined by
such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets. Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may be
valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that
uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of
pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing
services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available.
Foreign securities are valued based on prices furnished by independent
brokers or quotation services which express the value of securities in
their local currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates daily at the
close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency
and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local
currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward
contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are
included in the calculation of NAV. If an extraordinary event that is
expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs
after the close of an exchange on which that security is traded, then
that security will be valued as determined in good faith by a
committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing
service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value. In addition, securities and other assets for which
there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith
by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. The procedures set
forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities
owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the
fair market value of such securities.
PERFORMANCE
The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price, and
total return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other
factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or
less than their original cost.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect
all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's
NAV over a stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated
by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative total return
of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual total return of
7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100%
growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual total
returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives,
investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant
over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the fund may quote
unaveraged or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in
value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and
cumulative total returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar
amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of
investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Total
returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital
(including capital gains and changes in share price) in order to
illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions
to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a before-tax or
after-tax basis . Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to
exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid
by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise
indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales
charges, if any.
MOVING AVERAGES. A fund may illustrate performance using moving
averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's
adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving
average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a
specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted
closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving
averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an
NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On
July 31, 1998, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were
$ 39.26 and $ 37.19 , respectively, for OTC.
CALCULATING HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table
shows performance for the fund calculated including certain fund
expenses.

return for the periods ended July 31, 1998.

</TABLE>

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the
fund's cumulative total return. The table compares the fund's return
to the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the Dow
Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living, as measured
by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The CPI
information is as of the month-end closest to the initial investment
date for the fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to
show how the fund's total return compared to the record of a broad
unmanaged index of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major
industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. The fund has
the ability to invest in securities not included in either index, and
its investment portfolio may or may not be similar in composition to
the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns are based on the prices of
unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, do not
include the effect of brokerage commissions or other costs of
investing.
During the 10-year period ended July 31, 1998 , a hypothetical
$10,000 investment in OTC would have grown to $50,596 , assuming
all distributions were reinvested. Total returns are based on past
results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax
consequences of different investments have not been factored into the
figures below.

</TABLE>

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund
on August 1, 1988 , the net amount invested in fund shares was
$ 10,0 00. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together
with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain
distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the time
they were reinvested) amounted to $ 28,678 . If distributions had
not been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund
over time would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period
would have amounted to $914 for dividends and $11,031
for capital gain distributions. The figures in the table do not
include the effect of the fund's 3% sales charge (which was in effect
until September 29, 1998).
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on total return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do
not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are
prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual
fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond,
and money market mutual fund performance indices prepared by Lipper or
other organizations. When comparing these indices, it is important to
remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of
investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability
of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to
other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising.
The fund's performance may also be compared to that of a benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The total return of a benchmark index reflects reinvestment of
all dividends and capital gains paid by securities included in the
index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index returns do not
reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of
investing directly in the securities included in the index.
OTC may compare its performance to that of the NASDAQ Composite Index,
an unmanaged index of the National Market System which includes over
5,000 stocks traded only over-the-counter and not on an exchange.
The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository
institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several
respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee your principal
or your return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in
the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance
to that of other compilations or indices that may be developed and
made available in the future.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(Registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
total returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark
correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All
measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages
of historical data.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the
fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.
The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.
The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or
other programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes,
which may produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a
$1,000 investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have
an after-tax value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was
deducted from the return each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent
tax-deferred investment would have an after-tax value of $2,100 after
ten years, assuming tax was deducted at a 31% rate from the
tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year period.
As of July 31, 1998 , FMR advised over $31 billion in
municipal fund assets, $107 billion in money market fund
assets, $460 billion in equity fund assets, $71 billion
in international fund assets, and $27 billion in Spartan fund
assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market
mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the
industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates
maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the
purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE , EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV)
is calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for
trading. The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for
1998 : New Year's Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday ,
P residents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Although
FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be observed in the future,
the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. In addition,
on days when the Federal Reserve Wire System is closed, federal funds
wires cannot be sent.
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculated
earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the
SEC . To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in
other markets on days when the NYSE is closed, the fund's NAV may be
affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of a
fund's portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is
open for business.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, the fund is required to
give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or
modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day
notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a
modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the
time of an exchange, or (ii) the fund suspends the redemption of the
shares to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules
and regulations thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the
sale of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively
in accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, the fund has notified shareholders that it reserves
the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to
the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying
dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as
interest, income from securities loans, non-qualifying dividends, and
short-term capital gains, the percentage of dividends from the fund
that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. The
fund will notify corporate shareholders annually of the percentage of
fund dividends that qualifies for the dividends-received deduction. A
portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government
securities may be exempt from state and local taxation. Gains
(losses) attributable to foreign currency fluctuations are generally
taxable as ordinary income, and therefore will increase (decrease)
dividend distributions. If the fund's distributions exceed its net
investment company taxable income during a taxable year, all or a
portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year would be
recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders, thereby
reducing each shareholder's cost basis in the fund. Short-term
capital gains are distributed as dividend income. The fund will send
each shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of
dividends and capital gain distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length
of time shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder
receives a capital gain distribution on shares of the fund, and
such shares are held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the
portion of the loss equal to the amount of the capital gain
distribution will be considered a long-term loss for tax purposes.
Short-term capital gains distributed by the fund are taxable to
shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains.
As of July 31, 199 8 , the fund hereby designates approximately
$ 238,906,000 as a capital gain dividend for the purpose of the
dividend-paid deduction.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments
may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to
foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate
that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of
its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should
not expect to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal
income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company
and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund
level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net
investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar
year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with
other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of
Fidelity Securities Fund for tax purposes.
If a fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities,
defined as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in the
Internal Revenue Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on
a portion of any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of
such shares. Interest charges may also be imposed on a fund with
respect to deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains.
Generally, the fund will elect to mark-to-market any PFIC shares.
Unrealized gains will be recognized as income for tax purposes and
must be distributed to shareholders as dividends.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be
subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may
be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors
should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is
suitable to their particular tax situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures
for personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For
example, all personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance,
and participation in initial public offerings is prohibited. In
addition, restrictions on the timing of personal investing in relation
to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term trading have been
adopted.

A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be
deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of
Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 1997, the Trustees
accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows:
Ralph F. Cox, $75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates,
$62,500; E. Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk, $75,000; William
O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L. Mann,
$75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the
non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $53,699; Marvin L. Mann,
$53,699; and Thomas R. Williams, $62,462.
B Compensation figures include cash, and may include amounts
required to be deferred and amounts deferred at the election of
Trustees.
C The following amounts are required to be deferred by each
non-interested Trustee: Ralph F. Cox, $707; Phyllis Burke Davis, $707;
Robert M. Gates, $707; E. Bradley Jones, $707; Donald J. Kirk, $707;
William O. McCoy, $707; Gerald C. McDonough, $825; Marvin L. Mann,
$707; and Thomas R. Williams, $707.
D Certain of the non-interested Trustees' aggregate compensation
from the fund includes accrued voluntary deferred compensation as
follows: Ralph F. Cox, $600; Marvin L. Mann, $600; William O. McCoy,
$336; and Thomas R. Williams, $600.
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.
As of July 31, 1998, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board,
and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of the
fund's total outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant
to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract
with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and
limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters, and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the
registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and
securities lending agent, the fund pays all of its expenses that are
not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting,
printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal
expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor and non-interested
Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the
fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses,
statements of additional information, notices, and reports to
shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent
agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of providing these
services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid by the fund
include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEE. For the services of FMR under the management contract,
the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a
basic fee, which is the sum of a group fee rate and an individual fund
fee rate, and a performance adjustment based on a comparison of the
fund's performance to that of the NASDAQ Composite Index.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.
During the reporting period, FMR voluntarily modified the
breakpoints in the group fee rate schedule on January 1, 1996 to
provide for lower management fee rates as FMR's assets under
management increase.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $648 billion of group net assets - the approximate
level for July 1998 - was 0.2875% , which is the weighted
average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets
up to $648 billion.
The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.35% . Based on the average
group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for July 1998 , the
fund's annual basic fee rate would be calculated as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Basic Fee Rate

OTC Portfolio 0.2875% + 0.35% = 0.6375%

</TABLE>

One-twelfth of this annual basic fee rate is applied to the fund's net
assets averaged for the most recent month, giving a dollar amount,
which is the fee for that month.
COMPUTING THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The basic fee for OTC is subject
to upward or downward adjustment, depending upon whether, and to what
extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period
exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record of the NASDAQ Composite Index
(the Index) over the same period. The performance period consists of
the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.
Each percentage point of difference, calculated to the nearest 1.00%
(up to a maximum difference of +10.00) is multiplied by a performance
adjustment rate of 0.02%.
The performance comparison is made at the end of each month. One
twelfth (1/12) of this rate is then applied to the fund's average net
assets for the entire performance period, giving a dollar amount which
will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.
The maximum annualized adjustment rate is +0.20% of the fund's
average net assets over the performance period.
The fund's performance is calculated based on change in NAV. For
purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or
capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if
reinvested in that fund's shares at the NAV as of the record date for
payment. The record of the Index is based on change in value and is
adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose
securities compose the Index.
Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on the fund's
performance compared to the investment record of the Index, the
controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down
per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of
the Index. Moreover, the comparative investment performance of the
fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard
to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the
fund paid FMR management fees of $21,165,000, $18,522,000 and
$13,044,000 , respectively. The amount of these management fees
includes both the basic fee and the amount of the performance
adjustment, if any. For the fiscal year s ended July 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996, the downward performance adjustments
amounted to $5,851,000, $3,175,000, and $3,099,000,
respectively.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to
revision or termination . FMR retains the ability to be repaid for
these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below
the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's total returns,
and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its total
returns.
SUB-ADVISERS. On behalf of OTC, FMR has entered into sub-advisory
agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. Pursuant to the
sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive investment advice and
research services outside the United States from the sub-advisers.
On behalf of the fund, FMR may also grant the sub-advisers investment
management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell
securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in
countries other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia,
and the Pacific Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East, which were organized in 1986, are wholly
owned subsidiaries of FMR. Under the sub-advisory agreements FMR pays
the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. For providing non-discretionary
investment advice and research services, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far
East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR
Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment
advice and research services.
On behalf of the fund, for providing discretionary investment
management and executing portfolio transactions, FMR pays FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee rate
(including any performance adjustment) with respect to the fund's
average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary
basis.
For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to
the sub-advisers by FMR for the past three fiscal years are shown in
the table below.

For discretionary investment management and execution of portfolio
transactions, no fees were paid to the sub-advisers by FMR on behalf
of the fund for the past three fiscal years.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an
affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs
transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the
fund.
For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account
fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each
account in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional
accounts, these fees are based on account size and fund type. For
certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on
fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these
fees are based on account type (i.e., omnibus or non-omnibus) and, for
non-omnibus accounts, fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.
The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date
total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.
FSC also collects small account fees from certain accounts with
balances of less than $2,500.
In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer
agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified state
tuition program (QSTP), as defined under the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and each
Fidelity Freedom Fund, a fund of funds managed by an FMR affiliate,
according to the percentage of the QSTP's or Freedom Fund's
assets that is invested in the fund.
FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC.
Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends
for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting
records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.
For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.
The annual fee rates for p ricing and bookkeeping services are
.0600% of the first $500 million of average net assets and .0300% of
average net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee, not including
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of
$60,000 and a maximum of $800,000 per year.
For the fiscal years ended July 31 , 199 8, 1997, and
1996, the fund paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including
reimbursement for related out-of-pocket expenses, of $811,000,
$812,000, and $780,000, respectively.
For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC receives
fees based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid no securities lending fees.
The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR organized as a Massachusetts corporation on July 18,
1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all
reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure
purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered.
Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer
and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
During the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, FDC
collected sales charge revenue of $594,000, $567,000, and $887,000,
respectively on purchases of fund shares, all of which was retained by
FDC.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity OTC Portfolio is a fund of Fidelity
Securities Fund, an open-end management investment company organized
as a Massachusetts business trust on October 2, 1984 .
Currently, there are four funds of the trust: Fidelity OTC Portfolio,
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio , Fidelity Blue Chip Growth
Fund, and Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the trust
or a fund, the right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name
"Fidelity" may be withdrawn.
The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of
each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject only to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund are segregated on the books of account,
and are to be charged with the liabilities with respect to such fund
and with a share of the general expenses of the trust. Expenses with
respect to the trust are to be allocated in proportion to the asset
value of the respective funds, except where allocations of direct
expense can otherwise be fairly made. The officers of the
trust , subject to the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to
a given fund, or which are general or allocable to all of the funds.
In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust,
shareholders of each fund are entitled to receive as a class the
underlying assets of such fund available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is an entity of the type
commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under
Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
trust. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have
any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase
price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or
instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees
include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the
trust and its assets. The Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they
have exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects Trustees
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their
office.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you receive one vote for each dollar value
of net asset value you own. The shares have no preemptive or
conversion rights; the voting and dividend rights, the right of
redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the
Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set
forth under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability" above.
Shareholders representing 10% or more of the trust or a fund may, as
set forth in the Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the trust or a
fund for any purpose related to the trust or fund, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose
of voting on removal of one or more Trustees. The trust or any fund
may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to another open-end
management investment company, or upon liquidation and distribution of
its assets, if approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
trust or the fund, as determined by the current value of each
shareholder's investment in the fund or trust. If not so terminated,
the trust and its funds will continue indefinitely. Each fund may
invest all of its assets in another investment company.
CUSTODIAN. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian
is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the
appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The
custodian takes no part in determining the investment policies of a
fund or in deciding which securities are purchased or sold by a fund.
However, a fund may invest in obligations of its custodian and may
purchase securities from or sell securities to the custodian. The Bank
of New York and The Chase Manhattan Bank, each headquartered in New
York, also may serve as special purpose custodians of certain assets
in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the
Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with
various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds
advised by FMR. The Boston branch of the fund's custodian leases its
office space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when
entered into, was consistent with prevailing market rates.
Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal
and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and
conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or
potential custodial or other fund relationships.
AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, One Post Office Square, Boston,
Massachusetts serves as the fund's independent accountant. The
auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other
audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1998 , and report of the auditor, are
included in the fund's Annual Report, which is a separate report
supplied with this SAI. The fund's financial statements, including the
financial highlights, and report of the auditor are incorporated
herein by reference. For a free additional copy of the fund's Annual
Report, contact Fidelity at 1-800-544-8888, 82 Devonshire Street,
Boston, MA 02109.
APPENDIX
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS
Moody's ratings for obligations with an original remaining maturity in
excess of one year fall within nine categories. They range from Aaa
(highest quality) to C (lowest quality). Moody's applies numerical
modifiers of 1, 2, or 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa
through B. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the
higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a
mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks
on the lower end of its generic rating category.
AAA - Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
referred to as "gilt edged." Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.
While the various protective elements are likely to change, such
changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are
generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the
best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than the Aaa securities.
A - Bonds that are rated A possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered
adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to
impairment sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds that are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade
obligations, (i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly
secured). Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for
the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such
bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds that are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements;
their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the
future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds that are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or
of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of
time may be small.
CAA - Bonds that are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may
be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect
to principal or interest.
CA - Bonds that are rated Ca represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have
other marked short-comings.
C - Bonds that are rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of
ever attaining any real investment standing.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS
Debt issues may be designated by Standard & Poor's as either
investment grade ("AAA" through "BBB") or speculative grade ("BB"
through "D"). While speculative grade debt will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions. Ratings from
AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus sign (+) or minus
sign (-) to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt
in higher rated categories.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in
higher-rated categories.
BB - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than
other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely
interest and principal payments. The BB rating category is also used
for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied BBB- rating.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently
has the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments.
Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair
capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to
default, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and
economic conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment
of principal. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions, it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. The CCC rating category is also used for debt
subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B or
B- rating.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C
rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition
has been filed but debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest
is being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used
when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date
due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The
D rating will also be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if
debt service payments are jeopardized.

KEY FACTS

THE FUND AT A GLANCE
GOAL: Long-term growth of capital. As with any mutual fund, there is
no assurance that the fund will achieve its goal.
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in common stocks of well-known and
established companies.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the
management arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946
and is now America's largest mutual fund manager. Foreign affiliates
of FMR may help choose investments for the fund.
SIZE: As of July 31, 1998, the fund had over $17.0 billion
in assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
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 are looking for an
investment that focuses on well-known, established (blue chip)
companies.
The value of the fund's investments will vary from day to day, and
generally reflect market conditions, interest rates, and other
company, political, or economic news. In the short-term, stock prices
can fluctuate dramatically in response to these factors. Over time,
however, stocks have shown greater growth potential than other types
of securities. When you sell your shares, they may be worth more or
less than what you paid for them. By itself, the fund does not
constitute a balanced investment plan.
THE SPECTRUM OF

EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy
or sell shares of a fund. In addition, you may be charged an annual
account maintenance fee if your account balance falls below $2,500.
See "Transacti on Details," page for an explanation of how and when
these charges a pply.
SALES CHARGE ON PURCHASES NONE
AND REINVESTED DISTRIBUTIONS

DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ON REDEMPTIONS NONE

ANNUAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE FEE $12.00
(FOR ACCOUNTS UNDER $2,500)

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The
fund pays a management fee to FMR that varies based on its
performance. It also incurs other expenses for services such as
maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements
and financial reports. The fund's expenses are factored into its share
price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses" page ) .
The following figures are based on historical expenses of the fund and
are calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the fund. A
portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is use d
to reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, the fund has entered into
arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce
custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including this reduction, the
total fund operating expenses presented in the table would have been
0.70% .
MANAGEMENT FEE 0.47%

12B-1 FEE NONE

OTHER EXPENSES 0.25%

TOTAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES 0.72>%

EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is
5% and that your shareholder transaction expen ses and the
fund's annual 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:
UNDERSTANDING
EXPENSES
Operating a mutual fund
involves a variety of expenses
for portfolio management,
shareholder statements, tax
reporting, and other services.
These expenses are paid from
the fund's assets, and their
effect is already factored into
any quoted share price or
return. Also, as an investor,
you may pay certain expenses
directly.
(checkmark)
1 YEAR $ 7

3 YEARS $ 23

5 YEARS $ 40

10 YEARS $ 89

These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected expenses or returns, all of which may vary.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
Because this fund invests in
stocks, its performance is
related to that of the overall
stock market. Historically, stock
market performance has been
characterized by volatility in
the short run and growth in the
long run. You can see these
two characteristics reflected in
the fund's performance; the
year-by-year total returns on
p age 9 show that short-term
returns can vary widely, while
the returns in the mountain
chart show long-term growth.
(checkmark)
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated
period of time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate
of return that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same
cumulative total return if performance had been constant over the
entire period. Average annual total returns smooth out variations in
performance; they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.
STANDARD & POOR'S 500 INDEX (S&P 500(registered trademark)) is a
widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks.
Unlike the fund's returns, the total returns of the comparative index
do not include the effect of any brokerage commissions, transaction
fees, or other costs of investing.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. Government.
THE COMPETITIVE FUNDS AVERAGE is the Lipper Growth Funds Average. As
of July 31, 1998, the average reflected the pe rformance of 908
mutual funds with similar investment objectives. This average,
published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., excludes the effect of
sales loads.
Other illustrations of fund performance may show moving averages over
specified periods.

THE FUND IN DETAIL

CHARTER
BLUE CHIP GROWTH IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools
shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal. The fund
is a diversified fund of Fidelity Securities Fund, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on October 2, 1984.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the
fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that
provide services to the fund, and review the fund's performance. The
trustees serve as trustees for other Fidelity funds. The majority of
trustees are not otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY
MATERIALS. These meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees,
change fundamental policies, approve a management contract, or for
other purposes. Shareholders not attending these meetings are
encouraged to vote by proxy. Fidelity will mail proxy materials in
advance, including a voting card and information about the proposals
to be voted on. The number of votes you are entitled to is based upon
the dollar value of your investment.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The fund is managed by FMR, which chooses the fund's investments and
handles its business affairs. Affiliates assist FMR with foreign
investmen t:
(small solid bullet) F idelity Management & Research
( U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), in London, England, serves as a
sub-adviser for the fund.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc.
(FMR Far East), in Tokyo, Japan, serves as a sub-adviser for the
fund.

Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services.
Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) performs transfer agent servicing
functions for the fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR, FMR U.K., and FMR Far
East. Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant
owners of a class of shares of common stock representing approximately
49% of the voting power of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the 1940 Act), control of a company is presumed where one
individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company; therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed
under the 1940 Act to form a controlling group with respect to FMR
Corp.
FMR may use its broker-dealer affiliates and other firms that sell
fund shares to carry out the fund's transactions, provided that the
fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to
those of other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
BLUE CHIP GROWTH seeks growth of capital over the long term by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of
well-known and established companies. FMR normally invests at least
65% of the fund's total assets in the common stock of blue chip
companies. FMR defines blue chip companies to include those with a
market capitalization of at least $200 million, if the company's stock
is included in the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or $1
billion if not included in either index.
Blue chip companies typically have a large number of publicly held
shares and a high trading volume, resulting in a high degree of
liquidity. These tend to be quality companies with strong management
organizations. Companies that demonstrate the potential to become blue
chip companies in the future may also be selected by FMR for the
fund's investments.
When choosing the fund's domestic or foreign investments, FMR seeks
companies that it expects will demonstrate greater long-term earnings
growth than the average company included in the S&P 500. This method
of selecting stocks is based on the belief that growth in a company's
earnings will eventually translate into growth in the price of its
stock. FMR looks at strong market sectors and then identifies those
companies that offer the most attractive values based on earnings
prospects. The fund's sector emphasis may shift based on changes in
the sectors' earnings outlook.
Th e value of the fund's investments varies in response to many
factors. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of
individual companies and general market and economic conditions.
FMR may use various investment techniques to hedge a portion of the
fund's risks, but there is no guarantee that these strategies will
work as FMR intends. As a mutual f und, the fund seeks to spread
investment risk by diversifying its holdings among many companies and
industries. When you sell your shares of the fund, they may be worth
more or less than what you paid for them.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The fund also reserves the right to invest without
limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments
for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in
this section. A complete listing of the fund's limitations and more
detailed information about the fund's investments are contained in the
fund's SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that they are consistent with the fund's
investment objective and policies and that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal. Fund holdings and recent investment strategies are
detailed in the fund's financial reports, which are sent to
shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
1-800-544-8888.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks,
convertible securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar
type, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation.
Although equity securities have a history of long-term growth in
value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company's
financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.
Smaller companies are especially sensitive to these factors.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not inves t in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of a single issuer.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers
to borrow money from investors. The issuer generally pays the investor
a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the
amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon
bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from
their face values.
Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in
interest rates and varying degrees of credit quality. In general, bond
prices rise when interest rates fall, and fall when interest rates
rise. Longer-term bonds and zero coupon bonds are generally more
sensitive to interest rate changes.
In addition, bond prices are also affected by the credit quality of
the issuer. Investment-grade debt securities are medium- and
high-quality securities. Some, however, may possess speculative
characteristics, and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to
changes in the financial condition of issuers.
RESTRICTIONS: Purchase of a debt security is consistent with the
fund's debt quality policy if it is rated at or above the stated level
by Moody's Investors Service or rated in the equivalent categories
by Standard & Poor's , or is unrated but judged to be of equivalent
quality by FMR. The fund currently does not intend to invest in lower
than Baa-quality debt securities.
EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve additional risks and considerations. These
include risks relating to political, economic, or re gulatory
conditions in foreign countries, fluc tuations in foreign
currencies, withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement,
custodial, and other operational risks , and the potentially less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign
markets. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities
may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may
require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. All of these
factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging
markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S.
investments.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a
security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the
agreement defaults or becomes insolvent.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. The fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices,
interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other
factors that affect security values. These techniques may involve
derivative transactions such as buying and selling options and futures
contracts, entering into currency exchange contracts or swap
agreements, and purchasing indexed securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return
characteristics of the fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges
market conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not
correlate well with the fund's investments, these techniques could
result in a loss, regardless of whether the intent was to reduce risk
or increase return. These techniques may increase the volatility of
the fund and may involve a small investment of cash relative to the
magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these techniques could
result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not
perform as promised.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined
by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at
an acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities, and some
other securities, may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in
selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to the fund.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not invest more than 10% of its
assets in illiquid securities.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS may include re al estate-related instruments.
CASH MANAGEMENT. The fund may invest in money market securities, in
repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to
funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to
seek a high level of current income while maintaining a stable $1.00
share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on the
money market fund's investments could cause its share price to change.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one
industry. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all
securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not invest more than 5% in the securities of any o ne issuer. This
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities.
The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government
securities.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or th rough reverse repurchase
agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject
to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund
makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this
may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI), an affiliate of FMR, is a
means of earning income. This practice could result in a loss or a
delay in recovering the fund's securities. The fund may also lend
money to other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the
fund's total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages
are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder
approval. The following paragraphs restate all those that are
fundamental. All policies stated throughout this prospectus, other
than those identified in the following paragraphs, can be changed
without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks growth of capital over the long term by investing
primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of well-known
and established companies.
With respect to 75% of total assets, the fund may not invest more
than 5% in the securities of any one issuer and may not invest in
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer.
This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities.
The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government
securities.
The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not
in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the fund's total
assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily
operations. Expenses paid out of the fund's assets are reflected in
its share price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to
shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to affiliates who provide
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES,
which are explained on page .
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the
ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified
limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements
can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The
amount of the fee is determined by taking a BASIC FEE and then
applying a PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The performance adjustment either
increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the
fund has performed relative to the S&P 500.
MANAGEMENT = BASIC +/- PERFORMANCE
FEE FEE ADJUSTMENT

THE BASIC FEE (calculated monthly) is calculated by adding a group fee
rate to an individual fund fee rate, and multiplying the result by the
fund's average net assets.
UNDERSTANDING THE
MANAGEMENT FEE
The basic fee FMR receives is
designed to be responsive to
changes in FMR's total assets
under management. Building
this variable into the fee
calculation assures
shareholders that they will pay
a lower rate as FMR's assets
under management increase.
Another variable, the
performance adjustment,
rewards FMR when the fund
outperforms the S&P 500 (an
established index of stock
market performance) and
reduces FMR's fee when the
fund underperforms this index.
(checkmark)
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.
For July 1998, the group fee rate was 0.2875%. The individual
fund fee rate is 0.30%. The basic fee rate for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1998 was 0.59 %.
THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT rate is calculated monthly by comparing the
fund's performance to that of the S&P 500 over the performance period.
The performance period is the most recent 36-month period.
The difference is translated into a dollar amount that is added to or
subtracted from the basic fee. The maximum annualized performance
adjustment rate is (plus/minus)0.20% of the fund's average net assets
over the performance period.
The total management fee rate for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1998 was 0.47%
FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. These
sub-advisers provide FMR with investment research and advice on
issuers based outside the United States. Under the sub-advisory
agreements, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and
105%, respectively, of the costs of providing these services.
The sub-advisers may also provide investment management services. In
return, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its
management fee rate with respect to the fund's investments that the
sub-adviser manages on a discretionary basis.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's
annual operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
The fund contracts with FSC to perform transfer agency, dividend
disbursing, shareholder servicing, and accounting functions. These
services include processing shareholder transactions, valuing the
fund's investments, handling securities loans, and calculating the
fund's share price and dividends.
For the fiscal year ended July 31 1998, the fund paid transfer
agency and pricing and bookkeeping fees equal to 0.24% o f its
average net assets.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the
compensation of trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity. A
broker-dealer may use a portion of the commissions paid by the fund to
reduce the fund's custodian or transfer agent fees.
The fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended July
31, 1998 was 49%. This rate varies from year to year.

A BECAUSE ITS SHARE PRICE FLUCTUATES, THE FUND MAY NOT BE AN
APPROPRIATE CHOICE FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES

DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its ne t investment
income and capital gains to shareholders each year. Normally,
dividends and capital gains are distributed in September and December.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on
the application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. The fund offers
four options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions
will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If
you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned
this option.
2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested, but you will be sent a check for each
dividend distribution.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital
gain distributions.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in another
identically registered Fidelity fund.
If you select distribution option 2 or 3 and the U.S. Postal
Service does not deliver your checks, your election may be converted
to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts
represented by uncashed distribution checks. To change your
distribution option, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-6666.
When the fund deducts a distribution from its NAV, the reinvestment
price is the fund's NAV at the close of business that day. Cash
distribution checks will be mailed within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the
fund will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-advantaged
retiremen t account, you should be aware of these tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income
tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions could also be taxed by
the country in which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when
they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are
taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital
gains are distributed as dividends and taxed as ordinary income;
capital gain distributions are taxed as long-term cap ital gains.
Every January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing
the tax characterization of distribu tions paid to you in the
previous year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or
loss is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price
you receive when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of the fund, Fidelity will send you a
confirmation statement showing how many shares you sold and at what
price. You will also receive a consolidated transaction statement
every January. However, it is up to you or your tax preparer to
determine whether this sale resulted in a capital gain and, if so, the
amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your regular account
statements; the information they contain will be essential in
calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares when the fund has realized but
not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will pay the full
price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in
the form of a taxable distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may impose taxes on the
fund and its investments, and these taxes generally will reduce the
fund's distributions. However, if you meet certain holding period
requirements with respect to your fund shares, an offsetting tax
credit may be available to you. If you do not meet such holding period
requirements, you may still be entitled to a deduction for certain
foreign taxes. In either case, your tax statement will show more
taxable income or capital gains than were actually distributed by the
fund, but will also show the amount of the available offsetting credit
or deduction.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements,
the fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. FSC normally calculates the fund's NAV as of
the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
THE FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the
number of shares outstanding.
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
on the basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of
changes in a security's market value. Foreign securities are valued on
the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are
traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars
using current exchange rates. In addition, if quotations are not
readily available, or if the values have been materially affected by
events occurring after the closing of a foreign market, assets may be
valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require the fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONICALLY.
Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from
unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security
procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor.
Fidelit y will request personalized security codes or other
information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted
through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet
browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of
your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If
you do not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone,
call Fidelity for instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during
periods of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by
mail or by visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT to suspend the offering of shares for a
period of time.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be
purchased at the NAV calculated after your investment is received in
proper form. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number
of checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will
be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or
its transfer agent has incurred.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money
order, U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit
instead.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements
with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by
phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is
priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by
that time, the financial institution could be held liable for
resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at
the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper
form. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to
you on the next business day, but if making immediate payment could
adversely affect the fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day
after your phone call.
(small solid bullet) The fund may hold payment on redemptions until it
is reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity
Money Line have been collected, which can take up to seven business
days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays),
when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
(small solid bullet) You will not receive interest on amounts
represented by uncashed redemption checks.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an
annual maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that
accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year.
Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for
that year. The fee, which is payable to the transfer agent, is
designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing
smaller accounts. This fee will not be deducted from Fidelity
brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except non-prototype
retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if
total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the $30,000
waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number
or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $2,000, you will be given
30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not
increase your balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your
account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at
the NAV on the day your account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to
qualified recipients who support the sale of shares of the fund
without reimbursement from the fund. Qualified recipients are
securities dealers who have sold fund shares or others, including
banks and other financial institutions, under special arrangement in
connection with FDC's sales activities . In some instances, these
incentives may be offered only to certain institutions whose
representatives provide services in connection with the sale or
expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the
fund for shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the
following:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be
available for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification
number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its
prospectus.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge,
you pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales
charge and any sales charge you have previously paid in connection
with the shares you are exchanging. For example, if you had already
paid a sales charge of 2% on your shares and you exchange them into a
fund with a 3% sales charge, you would pay an additional 1% sales
charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund
performance and shareholders, the fund reserves the right to
temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any
investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per
calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control, including
accounts with the same taxpayer identification number, will be counted
together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
(small solid bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts
in certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange
limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials
for further information.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be
adversely affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if
the fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting
significant portions of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of
exchanges that coincides with a "market timing" strategy may be
disruptive to the fund.
Although the fund will attempt to give you prior notice whenever it is
reasonably able to do so, it may impose these restrictions at any
time. The fund reserves the right to terminate or modify the exchange
privilege in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to 1.00% and trading fees of up to 3.00%
of the amount exchanged . Check fund's prospectus for details.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that
may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.
The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder ap proval.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the
securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities)
if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be
invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others (except to the extent that
the fund may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities);
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures
contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed
by physical commodities); or
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.
(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iii) The fund may borrow only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves
as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase
agreements with any party (reverse repurchase a greements are
treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (3)). The fund will not borrow from other fund s advised
by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 5% of
the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as an investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions" on page .
The following pages contain more detailed information about types
of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ
in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of
related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of
these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agre ements with custodian
banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the
50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities;
U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that
are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency
transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive
orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the
Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures
applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial
institutions.
CLOSED-END INVESTMENT COMPANIES are investment companies
that issue a fixed number of shares which trade on a stock exchange or
over-the-counter. Closed-end investment companies are professionally
managed and may invest in any type of security. Shares of closed-end
investment companies may trade at a premium or a discount to their net
asset value. A fund may purchase shares of closed-end investment
companies to facilitate investment in certain foreign countries.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds, debentures, notes,
preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted or
exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the
underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at
a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for
redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and
under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established
upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for
redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for
redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to
a third party.
Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss
than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields
higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than
comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield,
convertible securities generally sell at prices above their
"conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to
be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion
value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time
depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and
interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value,
convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent
because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of
principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities.
However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of
the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same
extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the
underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible
securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time,
however, the difference between the market value of convertible
securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that
the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the
same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because
convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their
value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest
rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk,
and are often lower-quality securities.
EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks
inherent in U.S. investments.
Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political,
economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or
unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by
actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S.
investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization
of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or
on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S.
dollars, or other government intervention. There is no assurance that
FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their
effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign
currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such
securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S.
dollar.
It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some
foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities
of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or
the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer,
securities depository or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs
associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes,
brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than
with U.S. investments.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S.
markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and
standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available,
and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding
corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall
governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges,
brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets
tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain
countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be
influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have
difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.
Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the
United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less
liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject
to such restrictions.
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of
ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global
Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of
shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by
depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the
United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by
a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home
country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the
underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various
services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate
actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying
for eign securities in their national markets and currencies.
However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated
with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include
foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of
the underlying issuer's country.
The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in
emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be
significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets,
reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established
markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets
may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of
nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and
prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less
protection of property rights than more developed countries. The
economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a
few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global
trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt
burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small
number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to
increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of
holdings difficult or impossible at times.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. A fund may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by
entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge
a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the
difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling
various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign
currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should
the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward
contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount
of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a
specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are
generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The
parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the
contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity
and complete the contemplated currency exchange.
The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management
strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A
fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and
futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same
purposes.
A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a
fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the
date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is
made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or
sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying
security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the
U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or
sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of
future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign
currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected
by FMR.
A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For
example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it
could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return
for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's
value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge,"
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations,
but would not offset changes in security values caused by other
factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another
currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This
type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would
not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S.
dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to
hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged
securities are denominated.
A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment
exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting
exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign
currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes
known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to
the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that
is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one
currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another.
Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the
hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of
fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set
aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to
cover currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, a
fund will segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if
any, whose purpose is essentially speculative. A fund will not
segregate assets to cover forward contracts entered into for hedging
purposes, including settlement hedges, position hedges, and proxy
hedges.
Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's
skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may
substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in
currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if
currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a
currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling
that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in
the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through
proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge
and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem.
Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency
and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There
is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will
be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The fund does not intend to direct
or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund,
however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate
its views on important matters of po licy to management, the Board
of Directors, and shareholders of a company when FMR determines that
such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the
fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may
engage, e ither individually or in conjunction with others, may
include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a
company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes
in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a
company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization
of the company or a portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing
third-party takeover efforts. This area of corporate activity is
increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible t hat a fund
could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will
monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent
possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of
actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guaran tee
can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be
undertaken or liabilities incurred.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS. T he following paragraphs pertain to futures
and options: Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions,
Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts,
Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and
Futures Relating to Forei gn Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing
Put and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. T he fund will
comply with guidelines established by the SEC with respect to coverage
of options and futures strategies by mutual funds and, if the
guidelines so require, will set as ide appropriate liquid assets in
a segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities
held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or
option strategy is outstanding, unless they are replaced with other
suitable assets. As a result, there is a possibility that segregation
of a large percentage of the fund's assets could impede portfolio
management or the fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other
current obligations.
COMBINED POSITIONS in volve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option
in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined
options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher
transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is
likely that the standardized contracts available will not matc h a
fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest
in options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities
in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not tr ack the performance of the
fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily
price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and f utures contracts with a greater or lesser value than
the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fu nd's options or futures
positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the
positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses
that are not offset by gains in other investments.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer
agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified
future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell
a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The
price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
buyer and seller enter into t he contract. Some currently available
futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S.
Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities
prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500). Futures can
be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then
if a liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's
exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by co ntrast, the
value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction
contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will
tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much
as if the underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to
the fund.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. Th e fund has filed
a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the defi nition of the
term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase
put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of
the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under
normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options
if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or
exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options
would exceed 25% of its total assets, under normal co nditions or
(c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option
premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the
fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options
attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
The above limitations on the f und's investments in futures
contracts and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures
contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, are not
fundamental policies and may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a
fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures
positions could also be impaired.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except
that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and
are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency
futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The
underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency,
which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S.
dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency
call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the
purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying
currency.
The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to
options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed
above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase
and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to
different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased
or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures
or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be
expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect
other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A
currency hedge, fo r example, should protect a Yen-denominated
security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund
against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the
issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's
foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many
factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the
amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's
investments exactly over time.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options
(options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through
negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this
type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility
to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve
greater credit risk than e xchange-traded options, which are
guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they
are traded.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obliga tion) to sell
the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In
return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market p rice
for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various
types of underlying instruments, including specific securities,
indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser
may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or
by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the
purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised,
the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the
strike price. A purchaser may also terminat e a put option position
by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a
liquid secondary market exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs) .
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call
option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's
purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes
the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying
instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it.
The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before
exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its
current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option,
however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike
price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes,
and must continue to set aside assets to cover its position. When
writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to
make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures
contracts.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the writer to s ell or deliver
the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price,
upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call
options are similar to those of writing put options, except that
writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the
same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer
mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a
call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in
return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a
call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price
increases.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed
of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and,
through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
instruments. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments,
FMR ma y consider various factors, including (1) the frequency of
trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective
purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market, (4) the nature of the security (including any demand or tender
features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for trades (including
the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and obligations
relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by FMR to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitl ing the holder to repayment of
principal and payment of interest within seven days, over-the-counter
options, and non-government stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed
securities. Also, FMR may determine some restricted securities,
government-stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, loans and
other direct debt instruments, emerging market securities, and swap
agreements to be illiquid. However, with respect to
over-the-counter o ptions a fund writes, all or a portion of the
value of the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the
assets held to cover the option and the nature and terms of any
agreement the fund may have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are priced
at fair value as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees.
INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed
to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies,
precious metals or other commodities, or other financial indicators.
Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or
deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by
reference to a specific instrument or statistic.
Gold-indexed securities typically provide for a maturity value that
depends on the price of gold, resulting in a security whose price
tends to rise and fall together with gold prices. Currency-indexed
securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt
securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by
reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies,
and may offer high er yields than U.S. dollar-denominated
securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or
negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when
the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that
performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their
maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting
in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the
underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices
that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies
relative to each other.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which
they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes
in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also
subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the
security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's
creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of in dexed securities
have included b anks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government
agencies.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursua nt to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will
lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from an investment in repurchase agreements, and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the
cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a
higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.
Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS. Equity real estate investment
trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate
investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term
mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of
the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the
issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory
requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of
trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and
are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers,
self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for
tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing
to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repu rchase agreement, a fund
purchase s a security and simultaneously commits to sell that
security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The
resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon
incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. While it does not presently appear
possible to eliminate all risks from these transactions (particularly
the possibility that the value of the underlying security will be
less than the resale price, as well as delays and costs to a
fund in connection with bankruptcy proceedings), the fund will engage
in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose
creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Ac t of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part
of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse
between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may
be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration
statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to
develop, a fu nd might obtain a less favorable price than
prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchas e that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. While a reverse repurchase
agreement is outstanding, a fund will maintain appropriate liquid
assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its obligation
under the agreement. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase
agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed
and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase
fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a
form of leverage.
SECURITIES LENDING. The fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity
Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York
Stock Exchange and a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities l ending allows a fund to retain ownership of the
securities loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income.
Since there may be delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or
even a loss of rights in collateral supplied should the borrower fail
financially, loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of
good standing. Furthermore, they will only be made if, in FMR's
judgment, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify
the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that a
fund may engage in loan transactions only under the following
conditions: (1) the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of
cash or cash equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the
borrower; (2) the borrower must increase the collateral whenever the
market value of the securities loaned (determined on a daily basis)
rises above the value of the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the
fund must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (4) the fund must
receive reasonable interest on the loan or a flat fee from the
borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest, or
other distributions on the securities loaned and to any increase in
market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable custodian fees in
connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees must be able
to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by terminating the
loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in other
eligible securities. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as
well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." A fund m ay sell securities short
when it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind
or amount to the securities sold short. Such sho rt sales are known
as short sales "against the box." If a fund enters into a short sale
against the box, it will be required to set aside securities
equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or
securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will
be required to hold such securities while the short sale is
outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short

SWAP AGREEMENTS can be individually negotiated and structured to
include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or
market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may
increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest
rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors
such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take
many different forms and are known by a variety of names.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments
only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a
fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap
obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified
interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an
interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a
specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest
rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.
Swa p agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure
from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund
agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign
currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's
exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign
currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to
buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap
agreements may increase or decrease the overall volat ility o f a
fund's investments and its share price.
The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is
the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other
factors that de termine the amounts of payments due to and from
a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund
must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the
counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap
agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.
A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap
a greement either by assignment or other disposition, or by
entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a
similarly creditworthy party.
A fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated
custodial account to cover its current obligations under swap
agreemen ts. If a fund enters into a swap agreement on a net
basis, it will segregate assets with a daily value at least equal to
the excess, if any, of the fund's accrued obligations under the swap
agreement over the accrued amount the fund is entitled to receive
under the agreement. If a fund enters into a swap agreement on
other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a value equal to
the full amount of the fund's accrued obligations under the agreement.
WARRANTS. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder
to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of
time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond
to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a
warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying
security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital
appreciation as well as capital loss.
Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with
respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in
the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if
it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can
make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
mana gement contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and accounts for
which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In selecting
broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the federal
securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors, including,
but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction; the nature
and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold;
the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial
condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution
services rendered on a continuing basis; t he reasonableness of
any commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of fund
expenses.
If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.
Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other accounts
over which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such
services may include advice concerning the value of securities; the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and
the availability of securities or the purchasers or sellers of
securities. In addition, such broker-dealers may furnish analyses and
reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and
effect securities transactions and perform functions incidental
thereto (such as clearance and settlement).
The selection of such broker-dealers for transactions in equity
securities is generally made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent
with execution considerations) in accordance with a ranking of
broker-dealers determined periodically by FMR's investment staff based
upon the quality of research and execution services provided.
For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute
transactions on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering
investment managem ent services to that fund or its other clients,
and conversely, such research provided by broker-dealers who have
executed transaction orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be
useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations to a fund. The receipt
of such research has not reduced FMR's normal independent research
activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses
that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop comparable information
through its own efforts.
Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.
Subject to a pplicable limitations of the federal securities
laws, the fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency
transactions that are in excess of the amount of commissions charged
by other broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause the fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in te rms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund
or its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation
should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided
assistance in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of
other Fidelity funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use
research services provided by and place agency transactions with
National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity Brokerage
Services Japan LLC (FBSJ), indirect subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if the
commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions
charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar
services. Prior to December 9, 1997, FMR used research services
provided by and placed agency tra nsactions with Fidelity Brokerage
Services (FBS), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers
(including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with
FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the
commissions paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's
expenses. The transaction quality must, however, be comparable to
those of other qualified broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain
requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board
of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio transactions on
national securities exchanges in accordance with approved procedures
and applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal periods ended July 31 , 1998 and 1997, the
fund's portfolio turnover rates were 49% and 51%, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $10,325,000, $7,623,000, and
$20,101,000, respectively. Significant changes in brokerage
commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from
changing asset levels throughout the year. The fund may pay both
commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions.
During the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the
fund paid brokerage commissions of $1,864,000, $1,328,000, and
$4,945,000, respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998, this amounted to
approximately 18% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the
fund for transactions involving approximately 26.8% of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage
commissions. The difference between the percentage of aggregate
brokerage commissions paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions effected through, NFSC is a result of
the low commission rates charged by NFSC.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998, the fund paid
$9,947,000 in brokerage commissions to firms that provided research
services involving approximately $11,613,778,000 of transactions. The
provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the
placement of all this business with such firms.
The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity
with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase
securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of
FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the fund could purchase in the underwriting.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
the fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially
the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of
other funds managed by FMR or accounts managed by FMR affiliates.
It sometimes happens that the same security is held in the portfolio
of more than one of these funds or accounts. Simultaneous transactions
are inevitable when several funds and accounts are managed by the same
investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable
for the investment objective of more than one fund or account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
FSC normally determines the fund's net asset value per share (NAV) as
of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (normally 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time). The valuation of portfolio securities is determined as
of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.
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 United States 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 United
States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale
price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last
sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated
quote or last bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end
investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
Fixed-income securities and other assets for which market quotations
are readily available may be valued at market values determined by
such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets. Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may be
valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that
uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of
pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing
services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available.
Foreign securities are valued based on prices furnished by independent
brokers or quotation services which express the value of securities in
their local currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates daily at the
close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency
and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local
currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward
contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are
included in the calculation of NAV. If an extraordinary event that is
expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs
after the close of an exchange on which that security is traded, then
that security will be valued as determined in good faith by a
committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing
service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value. In addition, securities and other assets for which
there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith
by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. The procedures set
forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities
owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the
fair market value of such securities.
PERFORMANCE
The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund in advertising is historic al
and is not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price
and total return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other
factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or
less than their original cost.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect
all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's
NAV over a stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated
by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative total return
of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual total return of
7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100%
growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual total
returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives,
investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant
over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the fund may quote
unaveraged or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in
value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and
cumulative total returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar
amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of
investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period.
Total returns may be broken down into their components of income
and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) in
order to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their
contributions to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis . Total returns, yields, and
other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table,
graph, or similar illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to
exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid
by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise
indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales
charges, if any.
MOVING AVERAGES. A fund may illustrate performance using moving
averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's
adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving
average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a
specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted
closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving
averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an
NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On
July 31, 1998, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were
$46.39 and $43.13, respective ly.
CALCULATING HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table
shows performance for the fund calculated including certain fund
expenses.

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the
fund's cumulative total return. The table compares the fund's return
to the record of the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA),
and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI),
over the same period. The CPI information is as of the month-end
closest to the initial investment date for the fund. The S&P 500 and
DJIA comparisons are provided to show how the fund's total return
compared to the record of a broad unmanaged index of common stocks and
a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively,
over the same period. The fund has the ability to invest in securities
not included in either index, and its investment portfolio may or may
not be similar in composition to the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA
returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and,
unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage
commissions or other costs of investing.
During the ten year period ended July 31, 1998, a hypothetical
$10,000 investment in Blue Chip Growth would have grown to $71,941,
and assuming all distributions were reinvested. Total returns are
based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.
Tax consequences of different investments have not been factored into
the figures below. The figures in the table do not include the effect
of the fund's 2% sales charge (which was in effect during the period
December 31, 1987 (commencement of operations) through October 11,
1990), or the fund's 3% sales charge (which was in effect during the
period October 12, 1990 through September 29, 1998).

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund
on August 1, 1988, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000.
The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the
aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions
for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were
reinvested) amounted to $26,005. If distributions had not been
reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time
would have been sm aller, and cash payments for the period would
have amounted to $1,137 for dividends and $11,423 for capital gain
distributions.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on total return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do
not take sales charg es or trading fees into consideration, and
are prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the
mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock,
bond, and money market mutual fund performance indices prepared by
Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indices, it is
important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type
of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability
of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to
other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising.
The fund's performance may also be compared to that of a benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The total return of a benchmark index reflects reinvestment of
all dividends and capital gains paid by securities included in the
index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index returns do not
reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of
investing directly in the securities included in the index.
The fund may compare its performance to that of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common
stocks.
The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository
institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several
respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee your principal
or your return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
gove rnment bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation
(based on the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The
performance of these capital markets is based on the returns of
different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in
the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance
to that of other compilations or indices that may be developed and
made available in the future.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitab le giving. In addi tion, Fidelity may quo te or
reprint financial or business publications and periodicals as they
relate to current economic and political conditions, fund management,
portfolio composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques,
the desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity
services and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as
ad vertising and sales litera ture, articles from Fidelity
Focus(Registered trademark), a quarterly magazine provided free of
charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.
The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
total returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark
correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All
measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages
of historical data.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the
fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.
The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.
The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or
other programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes,
which may produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a
$1,000 investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have
an after-tax value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was
deducted from the return each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent
tax-deferred investment would have an after-tax value of $2,100 after
ten years, assuming tax was deducted at a 31% rate from the
tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year period.
As of July 31, 1998, FMR advised over $31 billion in municipal fund
assets, $107 billion in money market fund assets, $460 billion in
equity fund assets, $71 billion in international fund assets, and $27
billion in Sparta n fund assets. The fund may reference the growth
and variety of money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation
and participation in the industry. The equity funds under management
figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under
management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States,
making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its
subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and
communications network for the purpose of researching and managing
investments abroad.
For illustrative purposes only, B lue Chip Growth may use the
names of companies in its advertising as examples of blue chip
companies. Such companies will only be mentioned if they meet the
criteria for "blue chip" as set forth in the fund's investment
objectives and policies. These companies will not ne cessarily
reflect the portfolio composition of the fund, nor does the mention of
these companies indicate a recommendation to purchase their stock.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
On October 12, 1990, Blue Chip Growth changed its sales charge policy
from a 2% sales charge upon purchase and a 1% deferred sales charge
upon redemption, to a 3% sales charge upon purchase. If you purchased
your shares prior to that date, when you redeem those shares a
deferred sales charge of 1% of the redemption amount will be deducted.
The fund is open for business and its NAV is calculated each day the
NYSE is open for trading. The NYSE has designated the following
holiday closings for 1998: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King's
Birthday, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial D ay, Independence
Day (observed), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be observed in the
future, the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. In
addition, on days when the Federal Reserve Wire System is closed,
federal funds wires cannot be sent.
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculate d
earlier if tradi ng on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by
the SEC. To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other
markets on days when the NYSE is closed, the fund's NAV may be
affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of a fund's
portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is open for
business.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under th e 1940 Act, the fund is required
to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or
modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day
notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a
modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the
time of an exchange, or (ii) the fund suspends the redemption of the
shares to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules
and regulations thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the
sale of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively
in accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, the fund has notified shareholders that it reserves
the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to
the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying
dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as
interest, income from securities loans, non-qualifying dividends, and
short-term capital gains, the percentage of dividends from the fund
that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. The
fund will notify corporate shareholders annually of the percentage of
fund dividends that qualifies for the dividends-received deduction. A
portion of the fund's dividends derived f rom certain U.S.
Government securities may be exempt from state and local taxation.
Gains (losses) attributable to foreign currency fluctuations are
generally taxable as ordinary income, and therefore will increase
(decrease) dividend distributions. If the fund's distributions exceed
its net investment company taxable income during a taxable year, all
or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year would
be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders, thereby
reducing each shareholder's cost basis in the fund. Short-term capital
gains are distributed as dividend income. The fund will send each
shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of
dividends and capital gain distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length
of time shareholders have held their shares. If a share holder
receives a capital gain distribution on shares of the fund, and such
shares are held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion
of the loss e qual to the amount of the capital gain distribution
will be considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term
capital gains distributed by the fund are taxable to shareholders as
dividends, not as capital gains.
As of July 31, 1998, the fund hereby designates approximately
$431,972,000 as a capital gain dividend for the purpose of the
dividend-paid deduction.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments
may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to
foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate
that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of
its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should
not expect to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal
income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated invest ment company
and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund
level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net
investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar
year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with
other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of
Fidelity Securities Fund for tax purposes.
If a fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities,
defined as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in the
Internal Revenue Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on
a portion of any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of
such shares. Interest charges may also be imposed on a fund with
respect to deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains.
Generally, the fund will elect to mark-to-market any PFIC shares.
Unrealized gains will be recognized as income for tax purposes and
must be distributed to shareholders as dividends.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be
subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may
be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors
should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is
suitable to their particular tax situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures
for personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For
example, all personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance,
and participation in initial public offerings is prohibited. In
addition, restrictions on the timing of personal investing in relation
to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term trading have been
adopted.

* Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 1997 for
230 funds in the complex.
** Interested Trustees of the fund and Mr. Burkhead are compensated
by FMR.
A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be
deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of
Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 1997, the Trustees
accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows:
Ralph F. Cox, $75,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $75,000; Robert M. Gates,
$62,500; E. Bradley Jones, $75,000; Donald J. Kirk, $75,000; William
O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L. Mann,
$75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the
non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $53,699; Marvin L. Mann,
$53,699; and Thomas R. Williams, $62,462.
B Compensation figures include cash, and may include amounts
required to be deferred and amounts deferred at the election of
Trustees.
C The following amounts are required to be deferred by each
non-interested Trustee: Ralph F. Cox, $2,391; Phyllis Burke Davis,
$2,391; Robert M. Gates, $2,392; E. Bradley Jones, $2,391; Donald J.
Kirk, $2,391; William O. McCoy, $2,392; Gerald C. McDonough, $2,790;
Marvin L. Mann, $2,391; and Thomas R. Williams, $2,391.
D Certain of the non-interested Trustees' aggregate compensation
from the fund includes accrued voluntary deferred compensation as
follows: Ralph F. Cox, $2,030; Marvin L. Mann, $2,030; William O.
McCoy, $1,209; and Thomas R. Williams, $2,030.
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
d efer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt
of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under
the Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.
As of July 31, 1998, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board,
and officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of the
fun d's total outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant
to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract
with the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and
limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters, and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaini ng the fund's r ecords and the
registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addit ion to the manag ement fee
payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping
agent, and securities lending agent, the fund pays all of its expenses
that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the
typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to
sh areholder s, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian,
auditor and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract
further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and
mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices,
and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's
transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of
providing these services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid
by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEE. For the service s of FMR under the management
contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two
components: a basic fee, which is the sum of a group fee rate and an
individual fund fee rate, and a performance ad justment based on a
comparison of the fund's performance to that of the S&P 500.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to
the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $647 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for
July 1998 - was 0.2875%, which is the weighted average of the
respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $647
billion.
The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.30%. Based on the average
group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for July 1998, the fund's
annual basic fee rate would be calculated as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Basic Fee Rate

Blue Chip Growth 0.2875% + 0.30% = 0.5875%

</TABLE>

One-twelfth of this annual basic fee rate is applied to the fund's net
assets averaged for the most recent month, giving a dollar amount,
which is the fee for that month.
COMPUTING THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT. The basic f ee for t he
fund is subject to upward or downward adjustment, depending upon
whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the
performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record of the S&P
500 (the Index) over the same period. The performance period consists
of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.
Each percentage point of difference, calculated to the nearest 1.00%
(up to a maximum difference of (plus/minus)10.00) is multiplied by a
performance adjustment rate of 0.02%.
The performance comparison is made at the end of each month. One
twelfth (1/12) of this rate is then applied to the fund's average net
assets for the entire performance period, giving a dollar amount which
will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.
The maximum annualized adjustment rate is (plus/minus)0.20% of the
fund's average net assets over the performance period.
The fund's performance is calculated based on change in NAV. For
purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or
capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if
reinvested in that fund's shares at the NAV as of the record date for
pa ym ent. The record of the Index is based on change in value
and is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose
securities compose the Index.
Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on the fund's
performance compared to the investment record of the Index, the
controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down
per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of
the Index. Moreover, the comparative investment performance of the
fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard
to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.
For the fiscal years ended July 31 , 1998, 1997, and 1996,
the fund paid FMR management fees of $67,420,000, $50,927,000 and
$52,307,000, respectively. The amount of these management fees include
both the basic fee and the amount of the performance adjustment, if
any. For the fiscal years ended July 31 , 1998 and 1997, the
downward performance adjustments amounted to $18,210,000 and
$9,479,000, respectively. For the fiscal year ended July 31 ,
1996 the upward performance adjustment amounted to $4,936,000.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes,
brok erage commissions, and extraordinary expenses). FMR retains
the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the
amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the
fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements b y FM R will increase the fund's total
returns, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its
total returns.
SUB-ADVISERS. On behalf o f the fund, FMR has entered into
sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. Pursuant to
the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive investment advice and
research services outside the United States from the sub-advisers.
On behalf of the fund, FMR may a lso g rant investment management
authority as well as the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR
believes it would be beneficial to the fund.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in
countries other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia,
and the Pacific Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East, which were organized in 1986, are wholly
owned subsidiaries of FMR. Under the sub-advisory agreements FMR
pay s the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. For providing
non-discretionary investment advice and research services, FMR pays
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively,
of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with
providing investment advice and research services.
On behalf of the fund, for providing discretionary investment
management and executing portfolio transactions, FMR pays FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% o f its monthly management fee
rate (including any performance adjustment) with respect to the fund's
average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary
basis.
For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to
the sub-advisers by FMR for the past three fiscal years are shown in
the table below.

KEY FACTS

THE FUND AT A GLANCE
GOAL: High total return through a combination of current income and
capital appreciation. As with any mutual fund, there is no assurance
that the fund will achieve its goal.
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in equity securities of companies that pay
current dividends and offer potential growth of earnings.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the
management arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946
and is now America's largest mutual fund manager. Foreign affiliates
of FMR may help choose investments for the fund.
SIZE: As of July 31, 1998 the fund had over $ 44.3 billion in
assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Effective the close of business on April 3, 1998, the fund's shares
are no longer available to new accounts. Shareholders of the
fund on that date may continue to purchase shares in accounts existing
on that date. Investors who did not own shares of the fund on April 3,
1998, generally will not be allowed to purchase shares of the fund
except that new accounts may be established: 1) by participants
in most group employer retirement plans (and their successor plans) in
which the fund had been established as an investment option by April
3, 1998 ; and 2) for accounts managed on a discretionary basis
by certain registered investment advisors that have discretionary
assets of at least $ 500 m illion invested in mutual funds and
have included the fund in their discretionary account program since
April 3, 1998. These restrictions generally will apply to investments
made directly with Fidelity and investments made through
intermediaries. Investors may be required to demonstrate eligibility
to purchase shares of the fund before an investment is accepted.
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 SPECTRUM OF
FIDELITY FUNDS
Broad categories of Fidelity
funds are presented here in
order of ascending risk.
Generally, investors seeking to
maximize return must assume
greater risk. Growth & Income
is in the GROWTH AND INCOME
category.
(solid bullet) MONEY MARKET Seeks
income and stability by
investing in high-quality,
short-term investments.
(solid bullet) INCOME Seeks income by
investing in bonds.
(right arrow) GROWTH AND INCOME Seeks
long-term growth and income
by investing in stocks and
bonds.
(solid bullet) GROWTH Seeks long-term
growth by investing mainly in
stocks.
(checkmark)
The value of the fund's investments and the income they generate will
vary from day to day, and generally reflect market conditions,
interest rates, and other company, political, or economic news both
here and abroad. In the short-term, stock prices can fluctuate
dramatically in response to these factors. Over time, however, stocks
have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities.
The prices of bonds generally move in the opposite direction from
interest rates. When you sell your shares, they may be worth more or
less than what you paid for them. By itself, the fund does not
constitute a balanced investment plan.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy
or sell shares of the fund. In addition, you may be charged an annual
account maintenance fee if your account balance falls below $2,500.
See "Transaction Details," page , for an explanation of how and
when these charges apply.
SALES CHARGE ON PURCHASES AND REINVESTED DISTRIBUTIONS NONE

DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ON REDEMPTIONS NONE

ANNUAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE FEE (FOR ACCOUNTS UNDER $2,500) $12.00

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The
fund pays a management fee to FMR. It also incurs other expenses for
services such as maintaining shareholder records and furnishing
shareholder statements and financial reports. The fund's expenses are
factored into its share price or dividends and are not charged
directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of Expenses" page ).
The following figures are based on historical expenses of the fund and
are calculated as a percentage of average net assets of the fund. A
portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to
reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, the fund has entered into
arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce
custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the
total fund operating expenses presented in the table would have been
0.6 8 %.
MANAGEMENT FEE 0.49 %

12B-1 FEE NONE

OTHER EXPENSES 0.20 %

TOTAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES 0.69 %

EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is
5% and that your shareholder transaction expenses and the fund's
annual 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:
UNDERSTANDING
EXPENSES
Operating a mutual fund
involves a variety of expenses
for portfolio management,
shareholder statements, tax
reporting, and other services.
These expenses are paid from
the fund's assets, and their
effect is already factored into
any quoted share price or
return. Also, as an investor, you
may pay certain expenses
directly.
(checkmark)
1 YEAR $ 7

3 YEARS $ 22

5 YEARS $ 38

10 YEARS $ 86

These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected expenses or returns, all of which may vary.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights table that follows has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP , independent accountants. The fund's
financial highlights, financial statements, and report of the auditor
are included in the fund's Annual Report, and are incorporated by

PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance is commonly measured as TOTAL RETURN. The
total returns that follow are based on historical fund results and do
not reflect the effect of taxes.
The fund's fiscal year runs from August 1 through July 31. The tables

the fund on August 1, 1988. From that date through July 31,1998, the
fund's total return was 494.68 %. Your $10,000 would have grown
to $ 59,468 (the initial investment plus 494.68% of $10,000).

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
Because this fund invests in
stocks, its performance is
related to that of the overall
stock market. Historically, stock
market performance has been
characterized by volatility in
the short run and growth in the
long run. You can see these
two characteristics reflected in
the fund's performance; the
year-by-year total returns on
page 8 show that short-term
returns can vary widely, while
the returns in the mountain
chart show long-term growth.
(checkmark)
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated
period of time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate
of return that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same
cumulative total return if performance had been constant over the
entire period. Average annual total returns smooth out variations in
performance; they are not the same as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in the fund over
a given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. Yields
are calculated according to a standard that is required for all stock
and bond funds. Because this differs from other accounting methods,
the quoted yield may not equal the income actually paid to
shareholders.

THE FUND IN DETAIL

CHARTER
GROWTH & INCOME IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools
shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal. The fund
is a diversified fund of Fidelity Securities Fund, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on October 2, 1984.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the
fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that
provide services to the fund, and review the fund's performance. The
trustees serve as trustees for other Fidelity funds. The majority of
trustees are not otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY
MATERIALS. These meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees,
change fundamental policies, approve a management contract, or for
other purposes. Shareholders not attending these meetings are
encouraged to vote by proxy. Fidelity will mail proxy materials in
advance, including a voting card and information about the proposals
to be voted on. The number of votes you are entitled to is based upon
the dollar value of your investment.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The fund is managed by FMR, which chooses the fund's investments and
handles its business affairs.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.)
Inc. (FMR U.K.), in London, England, serves as a sub-adviser for the
fund.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Management & Research Far East
Inc. (FMR Far East), in Tokyo, Japan, serves as a sub-adviser for the
fund.
Steven Kaye is Vice President and manager of Growth & Income, which he
has managed since January 1993. He also manages another Fidelity fund.
Since joining Fidelity in 1985, Mr. Kaye has worked as an analyst,
manager, and assistant director of equity research.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets
Fidelity's funds and services.
Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) performs transfer agent servicing
functions for the fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR, FMR U.K. and FMR Far
East. Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant
owners of a class of shares of common stock representing approximately
49% of the voting power of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the 1940 Act), control of a company is presumed where one
individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company; therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed
under the 1940 Act to form a controlling group with respect to FMR
Corp.
FMR may use its broker-dealer affiliates and other firms that sell
fund shares to carry out the fund's transactions, provided that the
fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to
those of other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
THE FUND seeks high total return through a combination of current
income and capital appreciation by investing mainly in equity
securities. FMR expects to invest the majority of the fund's assets in
domestic and foreign equity securities, with a focus on those that pay
current dividends and show potential earnings growth. However, FMR may
buy debt securities as well as equity securities that are not
currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for capital
appreciation or future income.
The value of the fund's investments varies in response to many
factors. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of
individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond
values fluctuate based on changes in interest rates and in the credit
quality of the issuer.
FMR may use various investment techniques to hedge a portion of the
fund's risks, but there is no guarantee that these strategies will
work as FMR intends. As a mutual fund, the fund seeks to spread
investment risk by diversifying its holdings among many companies and
industries. When you sell your shares of the fund, they may be worth
more or less than what you paid for them.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The fund also reserves the right to invest without
limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments
for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in
this section. A complete listing of the fund's limitations and more
detailed information about the fund's investments are contained in the
fund's SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that they are consistent with the fund's
investment objective and policies and that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal. Fund holdings and recent investment strategies are
detailed in the fund's financial reports, which are sent to
shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
1-800-544-8888.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks,
convertible securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar
type, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation.
Although equity securities have a history of long-term growth in
value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company's
financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.
Smaller companies are especially sensitive to these factors.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not invest in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a
single issuer.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers
to borrow money from investors. The issuer generally pays the investor
a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the
amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon
bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from
their face values.
Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in
interest rates and varying degrees of credit quality. In general, bond
prices rise when interest rates fall, and fall when interest rates
rise. Longer-term bonds and zero coupon bonds are generally more
sensitive to interest rate changes.
Lower-quality debt securities are considered to have speculative
characteristics, and involve greater risk of default or price changes
due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness, or they may already
be in default. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate
more than higher-quality securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general or regional economic difficulty.
The following table provides a summary of ratings assigned to debt
holdings (not including money market instruments) in the fund's
portfolio. These figures are dollar-weighted averages of month-end
portfolio holdings during the fiscal year ended July 1998, and are
presented as a percentage of total security investments. These
percentages are historical and do not necessarily indicate the fund's
current or future debt holdings.
RESTRICTIONS: Purchase of a debt security is consistent with the
fund's debt quality policy if it is rated at or above the stated level
by Moody's Investors Service or rated in the equivalent categories by
Standard & Poor's, or is unrated but judged to be of equivalent
quality by FMR. The fund currently intends to limit its investments in
lower than Baa-quality debt securities (sometimes called "junk bonds")
to less than 35% of its assets.

RATINGS.
FOR FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES NOT INDIVIDUALLY RATED BY A
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STATISTICAL RATING ORGANIZATION, FMR
ASSIGNS THE RATING OF THE SOVEREIGN CREDIT OF THE ISSUING GOVERNMENT.

EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve additional risks and considerations. These
include risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory
conditions in foreign countries; fluctuations in foreign currencies;
withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other
operational risks; and the potentially less stringent investor
protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Additionally,
governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to
pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the
conditions for payment be renegotiated. All of these factors can make
foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more
volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of debt securities,
commercial or consumer loans, or other receivables. The value of these
securities depends on many factors, including changes in interest
rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its
structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the market's
perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement
provided. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment
risk.
MORTGAGE SECURITIES include interests in pools of commercial or
residential mortgages, and may include complex instruments such as
collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed
securities. Mortgage securities may be issued by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government or by private entities.
The price of a mortgage security may be significantly affected by
changes in interest rates. Some mortgage securities may have a
structure that makes their reaction to interest rates and other
factors difficult to predict, making their price highly volatile.
Also, mortgage securities, especially stripped mortgage-backed
securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Securities subject to
prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains during a
declining interest rate environment, and similar or greater potential
for loss in a rising interest rate environment.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a
security at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a
higher price. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the
agreement defaults or becomes insolvent.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. The fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices,
interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other
factors that affect security values. These techniques may involve
derivative transactions such as buying and selling options and futures
contracts, entering into currency exchange contracts or swap
agreements, purchasing indexed securities, and selling securities
short.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return
characteristics of the fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges
market conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not
correlate well with the fund's investments, these techniques could
result in a loss, regardless of whether the intent was to reduce risk
or increase return. These techniques may increase the volatility of
the fund and may involve a small investment of cash relative to the
magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these techniques could
result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not
perform as promised.
DIRECT DEBT. Loans and other direct debt instruments are interests in
amounts owed to another party by a company, government, or other
borrower. They have additional risks beyond conventional debt
securities because they may entail less legal protection for the fund,
or there may be a requirement that the fund supply additional cash to
a borrower on demand.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined
by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at
an acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities, and some
other securities, may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in
selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to the fund.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not invest more than 10% of its assets in
illiquid securities.
OTHER INSTRUMENTS may include real estate-related instruments.
CASH MANAGEMENT. The fund may invest in money market securities, in
repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to
funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to
seek a high level of current income while maintaining a stable $1.00
share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on the
money market fund's investments could cause its share price to change.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce
the risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money
invested in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one
industry. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all
securities of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not invest more than 5% in the securities of any one issuer. This
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities. The fund may
not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry. This
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government securities.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised
by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If
the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be
considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI), an affiliate of FMR, is a
means of earning income. This practice could result in a loss or a
delay in recovering the fund's securities. The fund may also lend
money to other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the
fund's total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages
are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder
approval. The following paragraphs restate all those that are
fundamental. All policies stated throughout this prospectus, other
than those identified in the following paragraphs, can be changed
without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks high total return through a combination of current
income and capital appreciation.
With respect to 75% of total assets, the fund may not invest more than
5% in the securities of any one issuer and may not invest in more than
10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer. These
limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities.
The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry. This limitation does not apply to U.S. Government
securities.
The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not
in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its total assets.
Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of the fund's total
assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily
operations. Expenses paid out of the fund's assets are reflected in
its share price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to
shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs.
FMR in turn pays fees to affiliates who provide assistance with these
services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which are explained on
page .
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the
ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified
limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements,
which may be terminated at any time without notice, can decrease the
fund's expenses and boost its performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee
is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee
rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the
fund's average net assets throughout the month .
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it
drops as total assets under management increase.
For July 1998, the group fee rate was 0.2875 %. The individual
fund fee rate is 0.20% .
The total management fee rate for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1998 was 0.49%.
UNDERSTANDING THE
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee FMR
receives is designed to be
responsive to changes in FMR's
total assets under
management. Building this
variable into the fee
calculation assures
shareholders that they will pay
a lower rate as FMR's assets
under management increase.
(checkmark)
FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. These
sub-advisers provide FMR with investment research and advice on
issuers based outside the United States. Under the sub-advisory
agreements, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and
105%, respectively, of the costs of providing these services.
The sub-advisers may also provide investment management services. In
return, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its
management fee rate with respect to the fund's investments that the
sub-adviser manages on a discretionary basis.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's
annual operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
The fund contracts with FSC to perform transfer agency, dividend
disbursing, shareholder servicing, and accounting functions. These
services include processing shareholder transactions, valuing the
fund's investments, handling securities loans, and calculating the
fund's share price and dividends.
For the fiscal year ended July 1998 , the fund paid transfer
agency and pricing and bookkeeping fees equal to 0 .19% of its
average net assets. This amount is before expense reductions, if any.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; in some instances, proxy solicitation costs; and the
compensation of trustees who are not affiliated with Fidelity. A
broker-dealer may use a portion of the commissions paid by the fund to
reduce the fund's custodian or transfer agent fees.
The fund's portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended July 1998
wa s 32%. This rate varies from year to year.

retirement accounts. Call 1-800-544-6666 or visit Fidelity's Web

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES

DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income
and capital gains to shareholders each year. Normally, dividends are
distributed in March, June, September, and December. Capital gains are
normally distributed in September and December.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on
the application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. The fund offers
four options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions
will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If
you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned
this option.
2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested, but you will be sent a check for each
dividend distribution.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital
gain distributions.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in another
identically registered Fidelity fund.
If you select distribution option 2 or 3 and the U.S. Postal
Service does not deliver your checks, your election may be converted
to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts
represented by uncashed distribution checks. To change your
distribution option, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-6666.
When the fund deducts a distribution from its NAV, the reinvestment
price is the fund's NAV at the close of business that day. Cash
distribution checks will be mailed within seven days.
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
AS A FUND SHAREHOLDER, YOU ARE
ENTITLED TO YOUR SHARE OF THE
FUND'S NET INCOME AND GAINS
ON ITS INVESTMENTS. THE FUND
PASSES ITS EARNINGS ALONG TO ITS
INVESTORS AS DISTRIBUTIONS.
THE FUND EARNS DIVIDENDS FROM
STOCKS AND INTEREST FROM BOND,

INVESTMENTS. THESE ARE PASSED
ALONG AS DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE FUND REALIZES
CAPITAL GAINS WHENEVER IT SELLS
SECURITIES FOR A HIGHER PRICE
THAN IT PAID FOR THEM. THESE
ARE PASSED ALONG AS CAPITAL
GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS.
(CHECKMARK)
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the
fund will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-advantaged retirement
account, you should be aware of these tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income
tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions could also be taxed by
the country in which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when
they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are
taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital
gains are distributed as dividends and taxed as ordinary income;
capital gain distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every
January, Fidelity will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
tax characterization of distributions paid to you in the previous
year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or
loss is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price
you receive when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of the fund, Fidelity will send you a
confirmation statement showing how many shares you sold and at what
price. You will also receive a consolidated transaction statement
every January. However, it is up to you or your tax preparer to
determine whether this sale resulted in a capital gain and, if so, the
amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your regular account
statements; the information they contain will be essential in
calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares when the fund has realized but
not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will pay the full
price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in
the form of a taxable distribution.
EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may impose taxes on the
fund and its investments, and these taxes generally will reduce the
fund's distributions. However, if you meet certain holding period
requirements with respect to your fund shares, an offsetting tax
credit may be available to you. If you do not meet such holding period
requirements, you may still be entitled to a deduction for certain
foreign taxes. In either case, your tax statement will show more
taxable income or capital gains than were actually distributed by the
fund, but will also show the amount of the available offsetting credit
or deduction.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements,
the fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. FSC normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close
of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
THE FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the
number of shares outstanding.
The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
on the basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of
changes in a security's market value. Foreign securities are valued on
the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are
traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars
using current exchange rates. In addition, if quotations are not
readily available, or if the values have been materially affected by
events occurring after the closing of a foreign market, assets may be
valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify
that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct
and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can
require the fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and
redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR
ELECTRONICALLY. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses
resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable
security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor.
Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other
information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted
through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet
browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of
your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If
you do not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call
Fidelity for instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during
periods of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by
mail or by visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT to suspend the offering of shares for a
period of time.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased
at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper
form. Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S.
dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check,
each check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number
of checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your
purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or
fees the fund or its transfer agent has incurred.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money
order, U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit
instead.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements
with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by
phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is
priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by
that time, the financial institution could be held liable for
resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at
the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form.
Note the following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to
you on the next business day, but if making immediate payment could
adversely affect the fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day
after your phone call.
(small solid bullet) The fund may hold payment on redemptions until it
is reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity
Money Line have been collected, which can take up to seven business
days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays),
when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
(small solid bullet) You will not receive interest on
amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an
annual maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that
accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year.
Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for
that year. The fee, which is payable to the transfer agent, is
designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing
smaller accounts. This fee will not be deducted from Fidelity
brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except non-prototype
retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if
total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the $30,000
waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number
or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $2,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send
the proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the
day your account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to
qualified recipients who support the sale of shares of the fund
without reimbursement from the fund. Qualified recipients are
securities dealers who have sold fund shares or others, including
banks and other financial institutions, under special arrangements in
connection with FDC's sales activities. In some instances, these
incentives may be offered only to certain institutions whose
representatives provide services in connection with the sale or
expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the
fund for shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the
following:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be
available for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification
number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its
prospectus.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge,
you pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales
charge and any sales charge you have previously paid in connection
with the shares you are exchanging. For example, if you had already
paid a sales charge of 2% on your shares and you exchange them into a
fund with a 3% sales charge, you would pay an additional 1% sales
charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund
performance and shareholders, the fund reserves the right to
temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any
investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per
calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control, including
accounts with the same taxpayer identification number, will be counted
together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
(small solid bullet) The exchange limit may be modified for accounts
in certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange
limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials
for further information.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be
adversely affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or
refused if the fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders
affecting significant portions of the fund's assets. In particular, a
pattern of exchanges that coincides with a "market timing" strategy
may be disruptive to the fund.
Although the fund will attempt to give you prior notice whenever it is
reasonably able to do so, it may impose these restrictions at any
time. The fund reserves the right to terminate or modify the exchange
privilege in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to 1.00% and trading fees of up to 3.00% of
the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that
may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.
The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the
securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities)
if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be
invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite any issue of securities (except to the extent that the
fund may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities);
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures
contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed
by physical commodities); or
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.
(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company with substantially the
same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as
the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL:
(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (3)). The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by
FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 5% of
the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio
for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b)
acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt
instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund w as in a position
where more than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid
securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page .
The following pages contain more detailed information about types
of instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ
in pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of
related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of
these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund
achieve its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of mortgages,
loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment
of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by
the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by
letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Asset-backed security values may also be affected by the
creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator
of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit
enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to
prepayment risk.
CLOSED-END INVESTMENT COMPANIES are investment companies that issue a
fixed number of shares which trade on a stock exchange or
over-the-counter. Closed-end investment companies are professionally
managed and may invest in any type of security. Shares of closed-end
investment companies may trade at a premium or a discount to their net
asset value . A fund may purchase shares of closed-end
investment companies to facilitate investment in certain foreign
countries.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds, debentures, notes,
preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted or
exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the
underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at
a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for
redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and
under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established
upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for
redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for
redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to
a third party.
Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or
loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide
yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower
than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher
yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their
"conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to
be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion
value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time
depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and
interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value,
convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent
because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of
principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities.
However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of
the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same
extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the
underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible
securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time,
however, the difference between the market value of convertible
securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that
the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the
same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because
convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their
value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest
rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk,
and are often lower-quality securities.
EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks
inherent in U.S. investments.
Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political,
economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or
unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by
actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S.
investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization
of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or
on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S.
dollars, or other government intervention. There is no assurance that
FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their
effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign
currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such
securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S.
dollar.
It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for
foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC)
markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as
developed as those in the United States, and securities of some
foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities
of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and
custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement
where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are
often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in
increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or
the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer,
securities depository or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs
associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes,
brokerage commissions and custodial costs, are generally higher than
with U.S. investments.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S.
markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and
standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available,
and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding
corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall
governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges,
brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets
tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain
countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be
influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have
difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.
Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the
United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such
transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less
liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject
to such restrictions.
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of
ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global
Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of
shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by
depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the
United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by
a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home
country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the
underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various
services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate
actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying
foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However,
ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with
investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign
exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the
underlying issuer's country.
The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in
emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be
significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets,
reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established
markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets
may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of
nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and
prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less
protection of property rights than more developed countries. The
economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a
few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global
trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt
burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small
number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to
increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of
holdings difficult or impossible at times.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. A fund may conduct foreign currency
transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by
entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge
a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the
difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling
various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign
currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should
the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward
contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount
of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a
specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are
generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The
parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the
contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and
complete the contemplated currency exchange.
The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management
strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A
fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and
futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same
purposes.
A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a
fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the
date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is
made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or
sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying
security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the
U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or
sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of
future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign
currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected
by FMR.
A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in
the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For
example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it
could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return
for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's
value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge,"
would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations,
but would not offset changes in security values caused by other
factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another
currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This
type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer
advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would
not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S.
dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to
hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged
securities are denominated.
A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment
exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting
exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign
currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes
known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to
the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that
is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one
currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another.
Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the
hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of
fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set
aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to
cover currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, a
fund will segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if
any, whose purpose is essentially speculative. A fund will not
segregate assets to cover forward contracts entered into for hedging
purposes, including settlement hedges, position hedges, and proxy
hedges.
Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's
skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may
substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in
currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if
currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a
currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling
that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in
the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through
proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge
and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem.
Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency
and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There
is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will
be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however,
may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views
on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors,
and shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters
could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment
in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either
individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others,
supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate
structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's
directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or
policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a
portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing third-party takeover
efforts. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to
litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in
lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities
with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of
litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund
is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that
litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities
incurred.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions, Combined
Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures
Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions,
Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures
Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call
Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. The fund will comply
with guidelines established by the SEC with respect to coverage
of options and futures strategies by mutual funds and, if the
guidelines so require, will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities held
in a segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or option
strategy is outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable
assets. As a result, there is a possibility that segregation of a
large percentage of the fund's assets could impede portfolio
management or the fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other
current obligations.
COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lo wer price, to reduce the risk of the written call
option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined
options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher
transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely
that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's
current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest
in options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price
fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer
agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified
future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell
a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The
price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available
futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S.
Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities
prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500). Futures can
be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then
if a liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the
fund.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund has filed a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase
put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of
the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under
normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options
if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or
exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would
exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c)
purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option
premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the
fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options
attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts
and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and
options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, may be changed as regulatory
agencies permit.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except
that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and
are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency
futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The
underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency,
which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S.
dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency
call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the
purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying
currency.
The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to
options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed
above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase
and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to
different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased
or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or
forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected
to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors
that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for
example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in
the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting
from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value
of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to
many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to
match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the
fund's investments exactly over time.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options
(options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through
negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this
type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility
to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve
greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed
by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for
this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option
(known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of
securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate
its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising
the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will
lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser
completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A
purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary
market exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option
takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's
purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes
the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying
instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it.
The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before
exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its
current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option,
however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike
price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes,
and must continue to set aside assets to cover its position. When
writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to
make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures
contracts.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed
of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at
which they are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,
FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through
reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
instruments. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency of trades
and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers
in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, (4) the
nature of the security (including any demand or tender features), and
(5) the nature of the marketplace for trades (including the ability to
assign or offset the fund's rights and obligations relating to the
investment).
Investments currently considered by FMR to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to repayment of
principal and payment of interest within seven days, over-the-counter
options, and non-government stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed
securities. Also, FMR may determine some restricted securities,
government-stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, loans and
other direct debt instruments, emerging market securities, and swap
agreements to be illiquid. However, with respect to over-the-counter
options a fund writes, all or a portion of the value of the underlying
instrument may be illiquid depending on the assets held to cover the
option and the nature and terms of any agreement the fund may have to
close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are priced
at fair value as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by
the Board of Trustees.
INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed to
the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies,
precious metals or other commodities, or other financial indicators.
Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or
deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by
reference to a specific instrument or statistic.
Mortgage-indexed securities, for example, could be structured to
replicate the performance of mortgage securities and the
characteristics of direct ownership.
Gold-indexed securities typically provide for a maturity value that
depends on the price of gold, resulting in a security whose price
tends to rise and fall together with gold prices. Currency-indexed
securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt
securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by
reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies,
and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities.
Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed;
that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency
value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a
foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline
when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price
characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency.
Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the
values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each
other.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which
they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes
in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also
subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the
security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's
creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities
have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government
agencies.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will
lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from an investment in repurchase agreements, and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the
cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a
higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.
Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Direct debt instruments are
interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other
borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan
participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or
other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments are
subject to a fund's policies regarding the quality of debt securities.
Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend
primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of
interest and repayment of principal. Direct debt instruments may not
be rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating service. If
scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of
the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured
provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of
failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However,
there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a
secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the
collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose
creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may
be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or
restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a
small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing
countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities
responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling,
to pay interest and repay principal when due.
Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial
institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional
risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could
become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and
liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In
addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of
lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender.
Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the
lending bank or other intermediary. Direct debt instruments that are
not in the form of securities may offer less legal protection to the
purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation. In the absence
of definitive regulatory guidance, FMR uses its research to attempt to
avoid situations where fraud or misrepresentation could adversely
affect a fund.
A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution
that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of
the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms
of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct
recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the
agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If
assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were
determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general
creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in
realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a
loss of principal or interest.
Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit
facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate
purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand.
These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to
increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not
otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it
unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid. A fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover
its potential obligations under standby financing commitments.
The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any
one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's
investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a
fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness
held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or
other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a
fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund
the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC
interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat
both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as
"issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an
issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in
indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of
intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying
borrowers represent many different companies and industries.
LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities have
poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment
of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often
considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price
changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market
prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those
of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in
periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.
While the market for high-yield corporate debt securities has been in
existence for many years and has weathered previous economic
downturns, the 1980s brought a dramatic increase in the use of such
securities to fund highly leveraged corporate acquisitions and
restructurings. Past experience may not provide an accurate indication
of the future performance of the high-yield bond market, especially
during periods of economic recession.
The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less
active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. If market
quotations are not available, lower-quality debt securities will be
valued in accordance with procedures established by the Board of
Trustees, including the use of outside pricing services. Judgment
plays a greater role in valuing high-yield debt securities than is the
case for securities for which more external sources for quotations and
last-sale information are available. Adverse publicity and changing
investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt
securities a nd the ability of outside pricing services to value
lower-quality debt securities.
Since the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities,
FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of
managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those
issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is
adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to
improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based
on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage,
earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the
issuer.
A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with
others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a
security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders
if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's
shareholders.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES are issued by government and
non-government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other
institutions. A mortgage-backed security is an obligation of the
issuer backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest
in an underlying pool of mortgages. Some mortgage-backed securities,
such as collateralized mortgage obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments
of both principal and interest at a range of specified intervals;
others make semiannual interest payments at a predetermined rate and
repay principal at maturity (like a typical bond). Mortgage-backed
securities are based on different types of mortgages, including those
on commercial real estate or residential properties. Stripped
mortgage-backed securities are created when the interest and principal
components of a mortgage-backed security are separated and sold as
individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage-backed
security, the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives
the principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the
holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments
from the same underlying mortgage.
The value of mortgage-backed securities may change due to shifts in
the market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In
addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the
mortgage-backed securities market as a whole. Non-government
mortgage-backed securities may offer higher yields than those issued
by government entities, but also may be subject to greater price
changes than government issues. Mortgage-backed securities are subject
to prepayment risk, which is the risk that early principal payments
made on the underlying mortgages, usually in response to a reduction
in interest rates, will result in the return of principal to the
investor, causing it to be invested subsequently at a lower current
interest rate. Alternatively, in a rising interest rate environment,
mortgage-backed security values may be adversely affected when
prepayments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated,
resulting in the extension of the security's effective maturity and
the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term
instrument. The prices of stripped mortgage-backed securities tend to
be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than those
of non-stripped mortgage-backed securities.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS. Equity real estate investment trusts
own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment
trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans.
Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying
property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property
taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as
those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent
upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy
cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the
possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under
the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the
1940 Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to sell that security back to the
original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is
unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As
protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill
its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a
bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal
to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. While it does
not presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these
transactions (particularly the possibility that the value of the
underlying security will be less than the resale price, as well as
delays and costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy
proceedings), the fund will engage in repurchase agreement
transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and
found satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part
of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse
between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may
be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration
statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to
develop, a fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed
when it decided to seek registration of the security.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. While a reverse repurchase
agreement is outstanding, a fund will maintain appropriate liquid
assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under
the agreement. The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in
the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of
leverage.
SECURITIES LENDING. A fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity
Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) and a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Since there
may be delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of
rights in collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially,
loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good
standing. Furthermore, they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment,
the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that a
fund may engage in loan transactions only under the following
conditions: (1) the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of
cash or cash equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the
borrower; (2) the borrower must increase the collateral whenever the
market value of the securities loaned (determined on a daily basis)
rises above the value of the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the
fund must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (4) the fund must
receive reasonable interest on the loan or a flat fee from the
borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest, or
other distributions on the securities loaned and to any increase in
market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable custodian fees in
connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees must be able
to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by terminating the
loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in other
eligible securities. Investing this cash subjects that investment,
as well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
SHORT SALES. A fund may enter into short sales with respect to
stocks underlying its convertible security holdings. For example, if
FMR anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a
convertible security a fund holds, it may sell the stock short. If the
stock price subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale
could be expected to offset all or a portion of the effect of the
stock's decline on the value of the convertible security. The fund
currently intends to hedge no more than 15% of its total assets with
short sales on equity securities underlying its convertible security
holdings under normal circumstances.
When a fund enters into a short sale, it will be required to
set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short
(or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and
will be required to hold them aside while the short sale is
outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short
sales.
SWAP AGREEMENTS can be individually negotiated and structured to
include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or
market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may
increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest
rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such
as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many
different forms and are known by a variety of names.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments
only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a
fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap
obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified
interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an
interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a
specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest
rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.
Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from
one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to
exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the
swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S.
interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and
interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or
writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may
increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments
and its share price and yield.
The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is
the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors
that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a
swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be
prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the
counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap
agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in
losses. A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a
swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by
entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a
similarly creditworthy party.
A f und will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated
custodial account to cover its current obligations under swap
agreements. If a fund enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it
will segregate assets with a daily value at least equal to the excess,
if any, of the fund's accrued obligations under the swap agreement
over the accrued amount the fund is entitled to receive under the
agreement. If a fund enters into a swap agreement on other than a net
basis, it will segregate assets with a value equal to the full amount
of the fund's accrued obligations under the agreement.
WARRANTS. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder
to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of
time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond
to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a
warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying
security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital
appreciation as well as capital loss.
Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with
respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in
the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if
it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can
make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and accounts for
which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In selecting
broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the federal
securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors, including,
but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction; the nature
and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold;
the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial
condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution
services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any
commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of fund
expenses.
If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.
Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other accounts
over which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such
services may include advice concerning the value of securities; the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; and
the availability of securities or the purchasers or sellers of
securities. In addition, such broker-dealers may furnish analyses and
reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and
effect securities transactions and perform functions incidental
thereto (such as clearance and settlement).
The selection of such broker-dealers for transactions in equity
securities is generally made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent
with execution considerations) in accordance with a ranking of
broker-dealers determined periodically by FMR's investment staff based
upon the quality of research and execution services provided.
For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.
Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, the
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause the fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund
or its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation
should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided
assistance in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of
other Fidelity funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use
research services provided by and place agency transactions with
National Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity
Brokerage Services Japan LLC (FBSJ), indirect subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. Prior to December 9, 1997, FMR used research
services provided by and placed agency transactions with Fidelity
Brokerage Services (FBS), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.
FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers (including
affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under
which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by
a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain
requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board
of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio transactions on
national securities exchanges in accordance with approved procedures
and applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal periods ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, the fund's
portfolio turnover rates were 32 % and 38 %, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund paid
brokerage commissions of $ 18,684,000 , $18,560,000, and
$13,771,000, respectively. Significant changes in brokerage
commissions paid by the fund from year to year may result from
changing asset levels throughout the year. The fund may pay both
commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions.
During the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund paid
brokerage commissions of $ 2,825,000 , $4,124,000, and $4,197,000
respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis. During the
fiscal year ended July 1998, this amounted to approximately
15.12 % of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund
for transactions involving approximately 22.22 % of the
aggregate dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid
brokerage commissions.
During the fiscal years ended July 1998, 1997 , and 1996, the
fund paid brokerage commissions of $ 38,000 , $119,000 and
$129,000, respectively, to FBS. FBS is paid on a commission basis.
During the fiscal year ended July 1998, this amounted to approximately
0.20 % of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund
for transactions involving approximately 0.09 % of the aggregate
dollar amount of transactions for which the fund paid brokerage
commissions.
During the fiscal year ended July, 1998, the fund paid
$ 18,179,000 in brokerage commissions to firms that provided
research services involving approximately $ 20,280,981,000 of
transactions. The provision of research services was not necessarily a
factor in the placement of all this business with such firms.
The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity
with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase
securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of
FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the fund could purchase in the underwriting.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
the fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of
other funds managed by FMR or accounts managed by FMR affiliates. It
sometimes happens that the same security is held in the portfolio of
more than one of these funds or accounts. Simultaneous transactions
are inevitable when several funds and accounts are managed by the same
investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable
for the investment objective of more than one fund or account.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
FSC normally determines the fund's net asset value per share (NAV) as
of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The
valuation of portfolio securities is determined as of this time for
the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.
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 United States 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 United
States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale
price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last
sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated
quote or last bid price normally is used. Securities of other open-end
investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
Fixed-income securities and other assets for which market quotations
are readily available may be valued at market values determined by
such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets. Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may be
valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that
uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing
services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of
pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing
services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available.
Foreign securities are valued based on prices furnished by independent
brokers or quotation services which express the value of securities in
their local currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates daily at the
close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency
and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local
currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward
contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are
included in the calculation of NAV. If an extraordinary event that is
expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs
after the close of an exchange on which that security is traded, then
that security will be valued as determined in good faith by a
committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing
service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value. In addition, securities and other assets for which
there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith
by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. The procedures set
forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities
owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the
Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the
fair market value of such securities.
PERFORMANCE
The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price,
yield, if available, and total return fluctuate in response to
market conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when
redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the
fund's interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month
period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to
receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the
fund's NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result
(assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual
percentage rate. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations
in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and
bond funds. Dividends from equity investments are treated as if they
were accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield
calculations. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to
bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a
portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased
with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the
discount to daily income. For the fund's investments denominated in
foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their
respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either
when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one
month period, whichever is earlier. Capital gains and losses generally
are excluded from the calculation as are gains and losses from
currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield
differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes.
Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield
may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your account,
or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.
In calculating the fund's yield, a fund may from time to time use a
portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in
order to reflect the risk premium on that security. This practice will
have the effect of reducing the fund's yield.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance
and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing
market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield
will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling,
the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of
its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower
yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the
fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be expected to occur.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect
all aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's
NAV over a stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated
by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in the fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had
been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative total return
of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual total return of
7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal 100%
growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual total
returns are a convenient means of comparing investment alternatives,
investors should realize that the fund's performance is not constant
over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the fund may quote
unaveraged or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in
value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and
cumulative total returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar
amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of
investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Total
returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital
(including capital gains and changes in share price) in order to
illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions
to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a before-tax or
after-tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to
exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid
by the fund and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise
indicated, the fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales
charges, if any.
MOVING AVERAGES. A fund may illustrate performance using moving
averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's
adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving
average is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a
specified period. Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted
closing NAVs from the last business day of each week with moving
averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing when an
NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average. On
July 31, 1998, the 13-week and 39-week long-term moving averages were
$ 43.61 and $ 40.92 , respectively.
CALCULATING HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table
shows performance for the fund calculated including certain fund
expenses.

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the
fund's cumulative total return. The table compares the fund's return
to the record of the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA),
and the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI),
over the same period. The CPI information is as of the month-end
closest to the initial investment date for the fund. The S&P 500 and
DJIA comparisons are provided to show how the fund's total return
compared to the record of a broad unmanaged index of common stocks and
a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively,
over the same period. The fund has the ability to invest in securities
not included in either index, and its investment portfolio may or may
not be similar in composition to the indexes. The S&P 500 and DJIA
returns are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and,
unlike the fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage
commissions or other costs of investing.
During the 10-year period ended July 31, 1998, a hypothetical $10,000
investment in Growth & Income would have grown to $ 59,468 ,
assuming all distributions were reinvested. Total returns are based on
past results and are not an indication of future performance. Tax
consequences of different investments have not been factored into the
figures below.

* From month-end closest to initial investment date.
Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in the fund
on August 1, 1988, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000.
The cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the
aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions
for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were
reinvested) amounted to $ 25,172 . If distributions had not been
reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time
would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have
amounted to $ 3,510 for dividends and $ 6,813 for capital
gain distributions. The figures in the table do not include the effect
of the fund's 2% sales charge (which was in effect during the period
December 30, 1985 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 1993),
or the fund's 3% sales charge (which was in effect during the period
July 1, 1993 through October 19, 1995).
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on total return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do
not take sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are
prepared without regard to tax consequences. In addition to the mutual
fund rankings, the fund's performance may be compared to stock, bond,
and money market mutual fund performance indices prepared by Lipper or
other organizations. When comparing these indices, it is important to
remember the risk and return characteristics of each type of
investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability
of principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to
other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising.
The fund's performance may also be compared to that of a benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The total return of a benchmark index reflects reinvestment of
all dividends and capital gains paid by securities included in the
index. Unlike the fund's returns, however, the index returns do not
reflect brokerage commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of
investing directly in the securities included in the index.
The fund may compare its performance to that of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks.
The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository
institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several
respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee your principal
or your return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in
the same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance
to that of other compilations or indices that may be developed and
made available in the future.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus (Registered
trademark), a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to
Fidelity fund shareholders.
The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
total returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark
correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All
measures of volatility and correlation are calculated using averages
of historical data. In advertising, the fund may also discuss or
illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the
fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.
The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.
The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or
other programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes,
which may produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a
$1,000 investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have
an after-tax value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was
deducted from the return each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent
tax-deferred investment would have an after-tax value of $2,100 after
ten years, assuming tax was deducted at a 31% rate from the
tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year period.
As of July 31, 1998, FMR advised over $ 31 billion in municipal
fund assets, $ 107 billion in money market fund assets,
$ 460 billion in equity fund assets, $ 71 billion in
international fund assets, and $ 27 billion in Spartan fund
assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of money market
mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the
industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates
maintain a worldwide information and communications network for the
purpose of researching and managing investments abroad.
The fund may be advertised as an investment choice under the Fidelity
College Savings Plan mutual fund option. Advertising may contain
illustrations of projected future college costs based on assumed rates
of inflation and examples of hypothetical performance. Advertising for
the Fidelity College Savings Plan mutual fund option may be used in
conjunction with advertising for the Fidelity College Savings Plan
brokerage option, a product offered through Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The fund is open for business and its NAV is calculated each
day the NYSE is open for trading. The NYSE has designated the
following holiday closings for 1998: New Year's Day, Martin Luther
King's Birthday, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day (observed), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and
Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be
observed in the future, the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at
any time. In addition, on days when the Federal Reserve Wire System
is closed, federal funds wires cannot be sent.
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). However, NAV may be calculated
earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the
SEC. To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other
markets on days when the NYSE is closed, the fund's NAV may be
affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of a fund's
portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is open for
business.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are
valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities
or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax
purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated
inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, the fund is required to
give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or
modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day
notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a
modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the
time of an exchange, or (ii) the fund suspends the redemption of the
shares to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules
and regulations thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the
sale of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively
in accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, the fund has notified shareholders that it reserves
the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would
be unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. A portion of the fund's income may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to
the extent that the fund's income is derived from qualifying
dividends. Because the fund may earn other types of income, such as
interest, income from securities loans, non-qualifying dividends, and
short-term capital gains, the percentage of dividends from the fund
that qualifies for the deduction generally will be less than 100%. The
fund will notify corporate shareholders annually of the percentage of
fund dividends that qualifies for the dividends-received deduction. A
portion of the fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government
securities may be exempt from state and local taxation. Gains (losses)
attributable to foreign currency fluctuations are generally taxable as
ordinary income, and therefore will increase (decrease) dividend
distributions. If the fund's distributions exceed its net investment
company taxable income during a taxable year, all or a portion of the
distributions made in the same taxable year would be recharacterized
as a return of capital to shareholders, thereby reducing each
shareholder's cost basis in the fund. Short-term capital gains are
distributed as dividend income. The fund will send each shareholder a
notice in January describing the tax status of dividends and capital
gain distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length
of time shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives
a capital gain distribution on shares of the fund, and such shares are
held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the
loss equal to the amount of the capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains
distributed by the fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not
as capital gains.
As of July 31, 1998, the fund hereby designates approximately
$ 1,091,517,000 as a capital gain dividend for the purpose of
the dividend-paid deduction.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments
may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to
foreign securities. Because the fund does not currently anticipate
that securities of foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of
its total assets at the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should
not expect to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal
income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company
and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund
level, the fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net
investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar
year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with
other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of
Fidelity Securities Fund for tax purposes.
If a fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment
entities, defined as passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) in
the Internal Revenue Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on a portion of any excess distribution or gain from the
disposition of such shares. Interest charges may also be imposed on a
fund with respect to deferred taxes arising from such distributions or
gains. Generally, the fund will elect to mark-to-market any PFIC
shares. Unrealized gains will be recognized as income for tax purposes
and must be distributed to shareholders as dividends.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be
subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may
be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors
should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is
suitable to their particular tax situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or
group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that
company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and
the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the
Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures
for personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For
example, all personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance,
and participation in initial public offerings is prohibited. In
addition, restrictions on the timing of personal investing in relation
to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term trading have been
adopted.

** Interested Trustees of the fund and Mr. Burkhead are compensated by
FMR.
A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be
deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of
Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 1997, the Trustees

O. McCoy, $75,000; Gerald C. McDonough, $87,500; Marvin L. Mann,
$75,000; and Thomas R. Williams, $75,000. Certain of the
non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of
their compensation as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $53,699; Marvin L. Mann,
$53,699; and Thomas R. Williams, $62,462.
B Compensation figures include cash, and may include amounts required
to be deferred and amounts deferred at the election of Trustees.
C The following amounts are required to be deferred by each
non-interested Trustee: Ralph F. Cox, $ 6,477 ; Phyllis Burke
Davis, $ 6,477 ; Robert M. Gates, $ 6,480; E. Bradley
Jones, $ 6,477 ; Donald J. Kirk, $ 6,477 ; William O. McCoy,
$ 6,480 ; Gerald C. McDonough, $ 7,557 ; Marvin L. Mann,
$ 6,477 ; and Thomas R. Williams, $ 6,477 .
D Certain of the non-interested Trustees' aggregate compensation
from the fund includes accrued voluntary deferred compensation as
follows: Ralph F. Cox, $5,499; Marvin L. Mann, $5,499; William O.
McCoy, $3,308; and Thomas R. Williams, $5,499.
Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.
As of July 31, 1998, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and
officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1 % of
the fund's total outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant
to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies, and
limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters, and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the
registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.
MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent and
securities lending agent, as applicable, the fund pays all of
its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for
the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to
shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor
and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further
provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing
prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and
reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's
transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of
providing these services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid
by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.
MANAGEMENT FEE. For the services of FMR under the management contract,
the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a
group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all
of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management
contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the
graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule
above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at
various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the
annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $ 648 billion of group net assets - the approximate
level for July 1998 - was 0.2875 %, which is the weighted
average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets
up to $ 648 billion.
The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.20 %. Based on the
average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for July
199 8 , the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated
as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Management Fee Rate

Fidelity Growth & 0. 2875 % + 0. 20 % = 0. 4875 %
Income Portfolio

</TABLE>

One-twelfth of this annual management fee rate is applied to the
fund's net assets averaged for the most recent month, giving a dollar
amount, which is the fee for that month.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid FMR management fees of $ 192,514,000 , $127,601,000, and
$80,483,000, respectively.
During the reporting period, FMR voluntarily modified the
breakpoints in the group fee rate schedule on January 1, 1996 to
provide for lower management fee rates as FMR's assets under
management increase.
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to
revision or termination . FMR retains the ability to be repaid for
these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below
the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's total returns
and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower
its total returns and yield.
SUB-ADVISERS. On behalf of Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio, FMR has
entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East.
Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive investment
advice and research services outside the United States from the
sub-advisers.
On behalf of the fund, FMR may also grant the sub-advisers investment
management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell
securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in
countries other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia,
and the Pacific Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East, which were organized in 1986, are wholly
owned subsidiaries of FMR. Under the sub-advisory agreements FMR pays
the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. For providing non-discretionary
investment advice and research services, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far
East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR
Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment
advice and research services.
On behalf of the fund, for providing discretionary investment
management and executing portfolio transactions, FMR pays FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee rate
with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the
sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
For providing investment advice and research services, fees paid to
the sub-advisers by FMR on behalf of the fund for the past three
fiscal years are shown in the table below.
Fiscal Year Ended FMR U.K. FMR Far East

1998 $ 1,580,745 $ 1,502,045

1997 $ 1,252,565 $ 1,197,481

1996 $ 691,711 $ 710,811

For discretionary investment management and execution of portfolio
transactions, no fees were paid to the sub-advisers by FMR on behalf
of the fund for the past three fiscal years.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FSC, an
affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC performs
transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the
fund.
For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives an account fee
and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each account
in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional
accounts, these fees are based on account size and fund type. For
certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on
fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these
fees are based on account type (i.e., omnibus or non-omnibus) and, for
non-omnibus accounts, fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.
The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date
total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.
FSC also collects small account fees from certain accounts with
balances of less than $2,500.
In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency
fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified state tuition
program (QSTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and each Fidelity Freedom
Fund, a fund of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the
percentage of the QSTP's or Freedom Fund's assets that is invested in
the fund.
FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC.
Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends
for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and general accounting
records, and administers the fund's securities lending program.
For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.
The annual fee rates for pricing and bookkeeping services are .0600%
of the first $500 million of average net assets and .0300% of average
net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee, not including
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of
$60,000 and a maximum of $800,000 per year.
For the fiscal years ended July 31 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund paid
FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for related
out-of-pocket expenses, of $ 947,000 , $860,000, and $807,000,
respectively.
For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC receives
fees based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, the fund
paid securities lending fees of $ 0 , $13,000, and $15,000,
respectively.
The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR organized as a Massachusetts corporation on July 18,
1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all
reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure
purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at
NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the
offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
Prior to October 20, 1995, the fund imposed a 3% sales charge. During
the fiscal year ended July 31 , 1996, FDC collected sales charge
revenue of $980,000 on purchases of fund shares.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio is a fund of
Fidelity Securities Fund, an open-end management investment company
originally organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 2,
1984. Currently, there are four funds of the trust: Fidelity Growth &
Income Portfolio, Fidelity OTC Portfolio, Fidelity Blue Chip Growth
Fund, and Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund. The Declaration of Trust
permits the Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the trust
or a fund, the right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name
"Fidelity" may be withdrawn.
The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of
each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject only to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to
such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The
underlying assets of each fund are segregated on the books of account,
and are to be charged with the liabilities with respect to such fund
and with a share of the general expenses of the trust. Expenses with
respect to the trust are to be allocated in proportion to the asset
value of the respective funds, except where allocations of direct
expense can otherwise be fairly made. The officers of the trust,
subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees, have the
power to determine which expenses are allocable to a given fund, or
which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the event of
the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each fund
are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is an entity of the type
commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under
Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
trust. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have
any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase
price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or
instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees
include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the
trust and its assets. The Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they
have exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects Trustees
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their
office.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you receive one vote for each dollar value
of net asset value you own. The shares have no preemptive or
conversion rights; the voting and dividend rights, the right of
redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the
Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set
forth under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability" above.
Shareholders representing 10% or more of the trust or a fund may, as
set forth in the Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the trust or a
fund for any purpose related to the trust or fund, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose
of voting on removal of one or more Trustees. The trust or any fund
may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to another open-end
management investment company, or upon liquidation and distribution of
its assets, if approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
trust or the fund, as determined by the current value of each
shareholder's investment in the fund or trust. If not so terminated,
the trust and its funds will continue indefinitely. Each fund may
invest all of its assets in another investment company.
CUSTODIAN. The Chase Manhattan Bank, 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, New
York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian
is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the
appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The
custodian takes no part in determining the investment policies of a
fund or in deciding which securities are purchased or sold by a fund.
However, a fund may invest in obligations of the custodian and may
purchase securities from or sell securities to the custodian. The Bank
of New York, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special
purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase
agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the
Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with
various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds
advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of
FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.
AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, One Post Office Square,
Boston, Massachusetts serves as the fund's independent accountant. The
auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other
audit, tax, and related services.

APPENDIX
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS
Moody's ratings for obligations with an original remaining maturity in
excess of one year fall within nine categories. They range from Aaa
(highest quality) to C (lowest quality). Moody's applies numerical
modifiers of 1, 2, or 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa
through B. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the
higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a
mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks
on the lower end of its generic rating category.
AAA - Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
referred to as "gilt edged." Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.
While the various protective elements are likely to change, such
changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are
generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the
best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger than the Aaa securities.
A - Bonds that are rated A possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered
adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to
impairment sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds that are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade
obligations, (i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly
secured). Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for
the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such
bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds that are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements;
their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the
future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds that are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or
of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of
time may be small.
CAA - Bonds that are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may
be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect
to principal or interest.
CA - Bonds that are rated Ca represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have
other marked short-comings.
C - Bonds that are rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of
ever attaining any real investment standing.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS
Debt issues may be designated by Standard & Poor's as either
investment grade ("AAA" through "BBB") or speculative grade ("BB"
through "D"). While speculative grade debt will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions. Ratings from
AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus sign (+) or minus
sign (-) to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt
in higher rated categories.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in
higher-rated categories.
BB - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than
other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely
interest and principal payments. The BB rating category is also used
for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied BBB- rating.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently
has the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments.
Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair
capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to
default, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and
economic conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment
of principal. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions, it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and
repay principal. The CCC rating category is also used for debt
subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B or
B- rating.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C
rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition
has been filed but debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest
is being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used
when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date
due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The
D rating will also be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if
debt service payments are jeopardized.

Item 25. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant
The Board of Trustees of Registrant is the same as the board of other
funds advised by FMR, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research
Company as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of these
funds are substantially identical. Nonetheless, the Registrant takes
the position that it is not under common control with these other
funds since the power residing in the respective boards and officers
arises as the result of an official position with the respective
funds.

Item 27. Indemnification
Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the
reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification
shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states
that the Registrant shall indemnify any present or past Trustee or
officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and
all expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any claim,
action, suit, or proceeding in which he is involved by virtue of his
service as a Trustee, an officer, or both. Additionally, amounts paid
or incurred in settlement of such matters are covered by this
indemnification. Indemnification will not be provided in certain
circumstances, however. These include instances of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, and reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of the particular office involved.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Registrant
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its
directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against
any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense arising by reason of
any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the
registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional
Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made
public by the Registrant included a materially misleading statement or
omission. However, the Registrant does not agree to indemnify the
Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or
omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with,
information furnished to the Registrant by or on behalf of the
Distributor. The Registrant does not agree to indemnify the parties
against any liability to which they would be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, and reckless
disregard of the obligations and duties under the Distribution
Agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
("Service") is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to
indemnify and hold Service harmless against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees
and expenses) resulting from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other
than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names the
Service and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does
not result from Service's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection
with Service's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent
contributed to by Service's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the
negligence of the Registrant, or from Service's acting upon any
instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or
communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a
result of Service's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed
by Service to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a
result of Service's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock
certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed,
countersigned or executed by the proper person.]

EXHIBIT 6(H)
FORM OF
BANK AGENCY AGREEMENT
We at Fidelity Distributors Corporation offer to make available to
your customers shares of the mutual funds, or the separate series or
classes of the mutual funds, listed on Schedules A and B attached to
this Agreement (the "Portfolios"). We may periodically change the
list of Portfolios by giving you written notice of the change. We are
the Portfolios' principal underwriter and act as agent for the
Portfolios. You (____________________________________) are a division
or affiliate of a bank (____________________________________) and
desire to make Portfolio shares available to your customers on the
following terms:
1. Certain Defined Terms: As used in this Agreement, the term
"Prospectus" means the applicable Portfolio's prospectus and related
statement of additional information, whether in paper format or
electronic format, included in the Portfolio's then currently
effective registration statement (or post-effective amendment
thereto), and any information that we or the Portfolio may issue to
you as a supplement to such prospectus or statement of additional
information (a "sticker"), all as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933.
2. Making Portfolio Shares Available to Your Customers: (a) In all
transactions covered by this Agreement: (i) you will act as agent for
your customers; in no transaction are you authorized to act as agent
for us or for any Portfolio; (ii) you will initiate transactions only
upon your customers' orders; (iii) we will execute transactions only
upon receiving instructions from you acting as agent for your
customers; and (iv) each transaction will be for your customer's
account and not for your own account. Each transaction will be
without recourse to you, provided that you act in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
(b) You agree to make Portfolio shares available to your customers
only at the applicable public offering price in accordance with the
Prospectus. If your customer qualifies for a reduced sales charge
pursuant to a special purchase plan (for example, a quantity discount,
letter of intent, or right of accumulation) as described in the
Prospectus, you agree to make Portfolio shares available to your
customer at the applicable reduced sales charge. You agree to deliver
or cause to be delivered to each customer, at or prior to the time of
any purchase of shares, a copy of the then current prospectus
(including any stickers thereto), unless such prospectus has already
been delivered to the customer, and to each customer who so requests,
a copy of the then current statement of additional information
(including any stickers thereto).
(c) You agree to order Portfolio shares from us only to cover
purchase orders that you have already received from your customers, or
for your own investment. You will not withhold placing customers'
orders so as to profit yourself as a result of such withholding (for
example, by a change in a Portfolio's net asset value from that used
in determining the offering price to your customers).
(d) We will accept your purchase orders only at the public offering
price applicable to each order, as determined in accordance with the
Prospectus. We will not accept from you a conditional order for
Portfolio shares. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection
by us in our sole discretion. We may, without notice, suspend sales
or withdraw the offering of Portfolio shares, or make a limited
offering of Portfolio shares.
(e) The placing of orders with us will be governed by instructions
that we will periodically issue to you. You must pay for Portfolio
shares in New York or Boston clearing house funds or in federal funds
in accordance with such instructions, and we must receive your payment
on or before the settlement date established in accordance with Rule
15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act").
(f) You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws
and with the rules and regulations of authorized regulatory agencies
thereunder. You agree to make Portfolio shares available to your
customers only in states where you may legally make such Portfolio's
shares available. You will not make available shares of any Portfolio
unless such shares are registered under the applicable state and
federal laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(g) Certificates evidencing Portfolio shares are not available; any
transaction in Portfolio shares will be effected and evidenced by
book-entry on the records maintained by Fidelity Investments
Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC"). A confirmation
statement evidencing transactions in Portfolio shares will be
transmitted to you.
(h) You may designate FIIOC to execute your customers' transactions
in Portfolio shares in accordance with the terms of any account,
program, plan, or service established or used by your customers, and
to confirm each transaction to your customers on your behalf on a
fully disclosed basis. At the time of the transaction, you guarantee
the legal capacity of your customers and any co-owners of such shares
so transacting in such shares.
3. Your Compensation: (a) Your fee, if any, for acting as agent
with respect to sales of Portfolio shares will be as provided in the
Prospectus or in the applicable schedule of agency fees issued by us
and in effect at the time of the sale. Upon written notice to you, we
or any Portfolio may change or discontinue any schedule of agency
fees, or issue a new schedule.
(b) If a Portfolio has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (a "Plan"), we may make
distribution payments or service payments to you under the Plan. If a
Portfolio does not have a currently effective Plan, we or Fidelity
Management & Research Company may make distribution payments or
service payments to you from our own funds. Any distribution payments
or service payments will be made in the amount and manner set forth in
the Prospectus or in the applicable schedule of distribution payments
or service payments issued by us and then in effect. Upon written
notice to you, we or any Portfolio may change or discontinue any
schedule of distribution payments or service payments, or issue a new
schedule. A schedule of distribution payments or service payments
will be in effect with respect to a Portfolio that has a Plan only so
long as that Portfolio's Plan remains in effect.
(c) After the effective date of any change in or discontinuance of
any schedule of agency fees, distribution payments, or service
payments, or the termination of a Plan, any agency fees, distribution
payments, or service payments will be allowable or payable to you only
in accordance with such change, discontinuance, or termination. You
agree that you will have no claim against us or any Portfolio by
virtue of any such change, discontinuance, or termination. In the
event of any overpayment by us of any agency fee, distribution
payment, or service payment, you will remit such overpayment.
(d) If, within seven (7) business days after our confirmation of
the original purchase order for shares of a Portfolio, such shares are
redeemed by the issuing Portfolio or tendered for redemption by the
customer, you agree (i) to refund promptly to us the full amount of
any agency fee, distribution payment, or service payment paid to you
on such shares, and (ii) if not yet paid to you, to forfeit the right
to receive any agency fee, distribution payment, or service payment
payable to you on such shares. We will notify you of any such
redemption within ten (10) days after the date of the redemption.
4. Certain Types of Accounts: (a) You may instruct FIIOC to
register purchased shares in your name and account as nominee for your
customers. If you hold Portfolio shares as nominee for your
customers, all Prospectuses, proxy statements, periodic reports, and
other printed material will be sent to you, and all confirmations and
other communications to shareholders will be transmitted to you. You
will be responsible for forwarding such printed material,
confirmations, and communications, or the information contained
therein, to all customers for whose account you hold any Portfolio
shares as nominee. However, we or FIIOC on behalf of itself or the
Portfolios will be responsible for the costs associated with your
forwarding such printed material, confirmations, and communications.
You will be responsible for complying with all reporting and tax
withholding requirements with respect to the customers for whose
account you hold any Portfolio shares as nominee.
(b) With respect to accounts other than those accounts referred to
in paragraph 4(a) above, you agree to provide us with all information
(including certification of taxpayer identification numbers and
back-up withholding instructions) necessary or appropriate for us to
comply with legal and regulatory reporting requirements.
(c) Accounts opened or maintained pursuant to the NETWORKING system
of the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") will be
governed by applicable NSCC rules and procedures and any agreement or
other arrangement with us relating to NETWORKING.
(d) If you hold Portfolio shares in an omnibus account for two or
more customers, you will be responsible for determining, in accordance
with the Prospectus, whether, and the extent to which, a CDSC is
applicable to a purchase of Portfolio shares from such a customer, and
you agree to transmit immediately to us any CDSC to which such
purchase was subject. You hereby represent that if you hold Portfolio
shares subject to a CDSC, you have the capability to track and account
for such charge, and we reserve the right, at our discretion, to
verify that capability by inspecting your tracking and accounting
system or otherwise.
5. Status as Registered Broker/Dealer or "Bank": (a) Each party to
this Agreement represents to the other party that it is either (i) a
registered broker/dealer under the 1934 Act, or (ii) a "bank" as
defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934 Act.
(b) If a party is a registered broker/dealer, such party represents
that it is qualified to act as a broker/dealer in the states where it
transacts business, and it is a member in good standing of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). It agrees
to maintain its broker/dealer registration and qualifications and its
NASD membership in good standing throughout the term of this
Agreement. It agrees to abide by all of the NASD's rules and
regulations, including the NASD's Conduct Rules -- in particular,
Section 2830 of such Rules, which section is deemed a part of and is
incorporated by reference in this Agreement. This Agreement will
terminate automatically without notice in the event that a party's
NASD membership is terminated.
(c) If you are a "bank", you represent that you are duly authorized
to engage in the transactions to be performed under this Agreement,
and you agree to comply with all applicable federal and state laws,
including the rules and regulations of all applicable federal and
state bank regulatory agencies and authorities. This Agreement will
terminate automatically without notice in the event that you cease to
be a "bank" as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934 Act.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall cause you to be our partner,
employee, or agent, or give you any authority to act for us or for any
Portfolio. Neither we nor any Portfolio shall be liable for any of
your acts or obligations as a dealer under this Agreement.
6. Information Relating to the Portfolios: (a) No person is
authorized to make any representations concerning shares of a
Portfolio other than those contained in the Portfolio's Prospectus.
In ordering Portfolio shares from us under this Agreement, you will
rely only on the representations contained in the Prospectus. Upon
your request, we will furnish you with a reasonable number of copies
of the Portfolios' current prospectuses or statements of additional
information or both (including any stickers thereto).
(b) Any printed or electronic information that we furnish you
(other than the Portfolios' Prospectuses and periodic reports) is our
sole responsibility and not the responsibility of the respective
Portfolios. You agree that the Portfolios will have no liability or
responsibility to you with respect to any such printed or electronic
information. We or the respective Portfolio will bear the expense of
qualifying its shares under the state securities laws.
(c) You may not use any sales literature or advertising material
(including material disseminated through radio, television, or other
electronic media) concerning Portfolio shares, other than the printed
or electronic information referred to in paragraph 6(b) above, in
connection with making Portfolio shares available to your customers
without obtaining our prior written approval. You may not distribute
or make available to investors any information that we furnish you
marked "FOR DEALER USE ONLY" or that otherwise indicates that it is
confidential or not intended to be distributed to investors.
7. Indemnification: (a) We will indemnify and hold you harmless
from any claim, demand, loss, expense, or cause of action resulting
from the misconduct or negligence, as measured by industry standards,
of us, our agents and employees, in carrying out our obligations under
this Agreement. Such indemnification will survive the termination of
this Agreement.
(b) You will indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand,
loss, expense, or cause of action resulting from the misconduct or
negligence, as measured by industry standards, of you, your agents and
employees, in carrying out your obligations under this Agreement.
Such indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement.
8. Customer Lists: We hereby agree that we shall not use any list of
your customers which may be obtained in connection with this Agreement
for the purpose of solicitation of any product or service without your
express written consent. However, nothing in this paragraph or
otherwise shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict us or our affiliates
in any way from solicitations of any product or service directed at,
without limitation, the general public, any segment thereof, or any
specific individual, provided such solicitation is not based upon such
list.
9. Duration of Agreement: This Agreement, with respect to any Plan,
will continue in effect for one year from its effective date, and
thereafter will continue automatically for successive annual periods;
provided, however, that such continuance is subject to termination at
any time without penalty if a majority of a Portfolio's Trustees who
are not interested persons of the Portfolio (as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")), or a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Portfolio, vote to terminate or not to
continue the Plan. This Agreement, other than with respect to a Plan,
will continue in effect from year to year after its effective date,
unless terminated as provided herein.
10. Amendment and Termination of Agreement: (a) We may amend any
provision of this Agreement by giving you written notice of the
amendment. Either party to this Agreement may terminate the Agreement
without cause by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days'
written notice of its intention to terminate. This Agreement will
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in
the 1940 Act).
(b) In the event that (i) an application for a protective decree
under the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970
is file against you; (ii) you file a petition in bankruptcy or a
petition seeking similar relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or
similar law, or a proceeding is commenced against you seeking such
relief; or (iii) you are found by the SEC, the NASD, or any other
federal or state regulatory agency or authority to have violated any
applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation arising out of
your activities as a broker/dealer or in connection with this
Agreement, this Agreement will terminate effective immediately upon
our giving notice of termination to you. You agree to notify us
promptly and to immediately suspend making Portfolio shares available
to your customers in the event of any such filing or violation, or in
the event that you cease to be a member in good standing of the NASD
or you cease to be a "bank" as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934
Act.
(c) Your or our failure to terminate this Agreement for a
particular cause will not constitute a waiver of the right to
terminate this Agreement at a later date for the same or another
cause. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any one
Portfolio will not cause its termination with respect to any other
Portfolio.
11. Arbitration: In the event of a dispute, such dispute will be
settled by arbitration before arbitrators sitting in Boston,
Massachusetts in accordance with the NASD's Code of Arbitration
Procedure in effect at the time of the dispute. The arbitrators will
act by majority decision and their award may allocate attorneys' fees
and arbitration costs between us. Their award will be final and
binding between us, and such award may be entered as a judgment in any
court of competent jurisdiction.

EXHIBIT 6(I)
FORM OF
SELLING DEALER AGREEMENT
(FOR BANK-RELATED TRANSACTIONS)
We at Fidelity Distributors Corporation invite you to distribute
shares of the mutual funds, or the separate series or classes of the
mutual funds, listed on Schedules A and B attached to this Agreement
(the "Portfolios"). We may periodically change the list of Portfolios
by giving you written notice of the change. We are the Portfolios'
principal underwriter and, as agent for the Portfolios, we offer to
sell Portfolio shares to you on the following terms:
1. Certain Defined Terms: (a) You
(_____________________________________) are registered as a
broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934
Act") and have executed a written agreement with a bank or bank
affiliate to provide brokerage services to that bank, bank affiliate
and/or their customers. As used in this Agreement, the term "Bank"
means a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the 1934 Act, or an
affiliate of such a bank, with which you have entered into a written
agreement to provide brokerage services; and the term "Bank Client"
means a customer of such a Bank.
(b) As used in this Agreement, the term "Prospectus" means the
applicable Portfolio's prospectus and related statement of additional
information, whether in paper format or electronic format, included in
the Portfolio's then currently effective registration statement (or
post-effective amendment thereto), and any information that we or the
Portfolio may issue to you as a supplement to such prospectus or
statement of additional information (a "sticker"), all as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933.
2. Purchases of Portfolio Shares for Sale to Customers: (a) In
offering and selling Portfolio shares to your customers, you agree to
act as dealer for your own account; you are not authorized to act as
agent for us or for any Portfolio.
(b) You agree to offer and sell Portfolio shares to your customers
only at the applicable public offering price in accordance with the
Prospectus. If your customer qualifies for a reduced sales charge
pursuant to a special purchase plan (for example, a quantity discount,
letter of intent, or right of accumulation) as described in the
Prospectus, you agree to offer and sell Portfolio shares to your
customer at the applicable reduced sales charge. You agree to deliver
or cause to be delivered to each customer, at or prior to the time of
any purchase of shares, a copy of the then current prospectus
(including any stickers thereto), unless such prospectus has already
been delivered to the customer, and to each customer who so requests,
a copy of the then current statement of additional information
(including any stickers thereto).
(c) You agree to purchase Portfolio shares from us only to cover
purchase orders that you have already received from your customers, or
for your own investment. You also agree not to purchase any Portfolio
shares from your customers at a price lower than the applicable
redemption price, determined in the manner described in the
Prospectus. You will not withhold placing customers' orders so as to
profit yourself as a result of such withholding (for example, by a
change in a Portfolio's net asset value from that used in determining
the offering price to your customers).
(d) We will accept your purchase orders only at the public offering
price applicable to each order, as determined in accordance with the
Prospectus. We will not accept from you a conditional order for
Portfolio shares. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection
by us in our sole discretion. We may, without notice, suspend sales
or withdraw the offering of Portfolio shares, or make a limited
offering of Portfolio shares.
(e) The placing of orders with us will be governed by instructions
that we will periodically issue to you. You must pay for Portfolio
shares in New York or Boston clearing house funds or in federal funds
in accordance with such instructions, and we must receive your payment
on or before the settlement date established in accordance with Rule
15c6-1 under the 1934 Act. If we do not receive your payment on or
before such settlement date, we may, without notice, cancel the sale,
or, at our option, sell the shares that you ordered back to the
issuing Portfolio, and we may hold you responsible for any loss
suffered by us or the issuing Portfolio as a result of your failure to
make payment as required.
(f) You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws
and with the rules and regulations of authorized regulatory agencies
thereunder. You agree to offer and sell Portfolio shares only in
states where you may legally offer and sell such Portfolio's shares.
You will not offer shares of any Portfolio for sale unless such shares
are registered for sale under the applicable state and federal laws
and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(g) Certificates evidencing Portfolio shares are not available; any
transaction in Portfolio shares will be effected and evidenced by
book-entry on the records maintained by Fidelity Investments
Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC"). A confirmation
statement evidencing transactions in Portfolio shares will be
transmitted to you.
(h) You may designate FIIOC to execute your customers' transactions
in Portfolio shares in accordance with the terms of any account,
program, plan, or service established or used by your customers, and
to confirm each transaction to your customers on your behalf on a
fully disclosed basis. At the time of the transaction, you guarantee
the legal capacity of your customers and any co-owners of such shares
so transacting in such shares.
3. Your Compensation: (a) Your concession, if any, on your sales of
Portfolio shares will be as provided in the Prospectus or in the
applicable schedule of concessions issued by us and in effect at the
time of our sale to you. Upon written notice to you, we or any
Portfolio may change or discontinue any schedule of concessions, or
issue a new schedule.
(b) If a Portfolio has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (a "Plan"), we may make
distribution payments or service payments to you under the Plan. If a
Portfolio does not have a currently effective Plan, we or Fidelity
Management & Research Company may make distribution payments or
service payments to you from our own funds. Any distribution payments
or service payments will be made in the amount and manner set forth in
the Prospectus or in the applicable schedule of distribution payments
or service payments issued by us and then in effect. Upon written
notice to you, we or any Portfolio may change or discontinue any
schedule of distribution payments or service payments, or issue a new
schedule. A schedule of distribution payments or service payments
will be in effect with respect to a Portfolio that has a Plan only so
long as that Portfolio's Plan remains in effect.
(c) Concessions, distribution payments, and service payments apply
only with respect to (i) shares of the "Fidelity Funds" (as designated
on Schedule A attached to this Agreement) purchased or maintained for
the account of Bank Clients, and (ii) shares of the "Fidelity Advisor
Funds" (as designated on Schedule B attached to this Agreement).
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, neither we nor any Portfolio
will provide to you, nor may you retain, concessions on your sales of
shares of, or distribution payments or service payments with respect
to assets of, the Fidelity Funds attributable to you or any of your
clients, other than Bank Clients. When you place an order in shares
of the Fidelity Funds with us, you will identify the Bank on behalf of
whose Clients you are placing the order; and you will identify as a
non-Bank Client Order, any order in shares of the Fidelity Funds
placed for the account of a non-Bank Client.
(d) After the effective date of any change in or discontinuance of
any schedule of concessions, distribution payments, or service
payments, or the termination of a Plan, any concessions, distribution
payments, or service payments will be allowable or payable to you only
in accordance with such change, discontinuance, or termination. You
agree that you will have no claim against us or any Portfolio by
virtue of any such change, discontinuance, or termination. In the
event of any overpayment by us of any concession, distribution
payment, or service payment, you will remit such overpayment.
(e) If any Portfolio shares sold to you by us under the terms of
this Agreement are redeemed by the issuing Portfolio or tendered for
redemption by the customer within seven (7) business days after the
date of our confirmation of your original purchase order for such
shares, you agree (i) to refund promptly to us the full amount of any
concession, distribution payment, or service payment allowed or paid
to you on such shares, and (ii) if not yet allowed or paid to you, to
forfeit the right to receive any concession, distribution payment, or
service payment allowable or payable to you on such shares. We will
notify you of any such redemption within ten (10) days after the date
of the redemption.
4. Certain Types of Accounts: (a) You may instruct FIIOC to
register purchased shares in your name and account as nominee for your
customers. If you hold Portfolio shares as nominee for your
customers, all Prospectuses, proxy statements, periodic reports, and
other printed material will be sent to you, and all confirmations and
other communications to shareholders will be transmitted to you. You
will be responsible for forwarding such printed material,
confirmations, and communications, or the information contained
therein, to all customers for whose account you hold any Portfolio
shares as nominee. However, we or FIIOC on behalf of itself or the
Portfolios will be responsible for the costs associated with your
forwarding such printed material, confirmations, and communications.
You will be responsible for complying with all reporting and tax
withholding requirements with respect to the customers for whose
account you hold any Portfolio shares as nominee.
(b) With respect to accounts other than those accounts referred to
in paragraph 4(a) above, you agree to provide us with all information
(including certification of taxpayer identification numbers and
back-up withholding instructions) necessary or appropriate for us to
comply with legal and regulatory reporting requirements.
(c) Accounts opened or maintained pursuant to the NETWORKING system
of the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") will be
governed by applicable NSCC rules and procedures and any agreement or
other arrangement with us relating to NETWORKING.
(d) If you hold Portfolio shares in an omnibus account for two or
more customers, you will be responsible for determining, in accordance
with the Prospectus, whether, and the extent to which, a CDSC is
applicable to a purchase of Portfolio shares from such a customer, and
you agree to transmit immediately to us any CDSC to which such
purchase was subject. You hereby represent that if you hold Portfolio
shares subject to a CDSC, you have the capability to track and account
for such charge, and we reserve the right, at our discretion, to
verify that capability by inspecting your tracking and accounting
system or otherwise.
5. Status as Registered Broker/Dealer: (a) Each party to this
Agreement represents to the other party that (i) it is registered as a
broker/dealer under the 1934 Act, (ii) it is qualified to act as a
broker/dealer in the states where it transacts business, and (iii) it
is a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Each party agrees to maintain its
broker/dealer registration and qualifications and its NASD membership
in good standing throughout the term of this Agreement. Each party
agrees to abide by all of the NASD's rules and regulations, including
the NASD's Conduct Rules -- in particular, Section 2830 of such Rules,
which section is deemed a part of and is incorporated by reference in
this Agreement. This Agreement will terminate automatically without
notice in the event that either
party's NASD membership is terminated.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall cause you to be our partner,
employee, or agent, or give you any authority to act for us or for any
Portfolio. Neither we nor any Portfolio shall be liable for any of
your acts or obligations as a dealer under this Agreement.
6. Information Relating to the Portfolios: (a) No person is
authorized to make any representations concerning shares of a
Portfolio other than those contained in the Portfolio's Prospectus.
In buying Portfolio shares from us under this Agreement, you will rely
only on the representations contained in the Prospectus. Upon your
request, we will furnish you with a reasonable number of copies of the
Portfolios' current prospectuses or statements of additional
information or both (including any stickers thereto).
(b) Any printed or electronic information that we furnish you
(other than the Portfolios' Prospectuses and periodic reports) is our
sole responsibility and not the responsibility of the respective
Portfolios. You agree that the Portfolios will have no liability or
responsibility to you with respect to any such printed or electronic
information. We or the respective Portfolio will bear the expense of
qualifying its shares under the state securities laws.
(c) You may not use any sales literature or advertising material
(including material disseminated through radio, television, or other
electronic media) concerning Portfolio shares, other than the printed
or electronic information referred to in paragraph 6(b) above, in
connection with the offer or sale of Portfolio shares without
obtaining our prior written approval. You may not distribute or make
available to investors any information that we furnish you marked "FOR
DEALER USE ONLY" or that otherwise indicates that it is confidential
or not intended to be distributed to investors.
7. Indemnification: (a) We will indemnify and hold you harmless
from any claim, demand, loss, expense, or cause of action resulting
from the misconduct or negligence, as measured by industry standards,
of us, our agents and employees, in carrying out our obligations under
this Agreement. Such indemnification will survive the termination of
this Agreement.
(b) You will indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand,
loss, expense, or cause of action resulting from the misconduct or
negligence, as measured by industry standards, of you, your agents and
employees, in carrying out your obligations under this Agreement.
Such indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement.
8. Customer Lists: We hereby agree that we shall not use any list of
your customers which may be obtained in connection with this Agreement
for the purpose of solicitation of any product or service without your
express written consent. However, nothing in this paragraph or
otherwise shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict us or our affiliates
in any way from solicitations of any product or service directed at,
without limitation, the general public, any segment thereof, or any
specific individual, provided such solicitation is not based upon such
list.
9. Duration of Agreement: This Agreement, with respect to any Plan,
will continue in effect for one year from its effective date, and
thereafter will continue automatically for successive annual periods;
provided, however, that such continuance is subject to termination at
any time without penalty if a majority of a Portfolio's Trustees who
are not interested persons of the Portfolio (as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")), or a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Portfolio, vote to terminate or not to
continue the Plan. This Agreement, other than with respect to a Plan,
will continue in effect from year to year after its effective date,
unless terminated as provided herein.
10. Amendment and Termination of Agreement: (a) We may amend any
provision of this Agreement by giving you written notice of the
amendment. Either party to this Agreement may terminate the Agreement
without cause by giving the other party at least thirty (30) days'
written notice of its intention to terminate. This Agreement will
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in
the 1940 Act).
(b) In the event that (i) an application for a protective decree
under the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970
is filed against you; (ii) you file a petition in bankruptcy or a
petition seeking similar relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or
similar law, or a proceeding is commenced against you seeking such

federal or state regulatory agency or authority to have violated any
applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation arising out of
your activities as a broker/dealer or in connection with this
Agreement, this Agreement will terminate effective immediately upon
our giving notice of termination to you. You agree to notify us
promptly and to immediately suspend sales of Portfolio shares in the
event of any such filing or violation, or in the event that you cease
to be a member in good standing of the NASD.
(c) Your or our failure to terminate this Agreement for a
particular cause will not constitute a waiver of the right to
terminate this Agreement at a later date for the same or another
cause. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any one
Portfolio will not cause its termination with respect to any other
Portfolio.
11. Arbitration: In the event of a dispute, such dispute will be
settled by arbitration before arbitrators sitting in Boston,
Massachusetts in accordance with the NASD's Code of Arbitration
Procedure in effect at the time of the dispute. The arbitrators will

and arbitration costs between us. Their award will be final and
binding between us, and such award may be entered as a judgment in any
court of competent jurisdiction.
