DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After the first month of 1999, U.S. stock markets seem to have
maintained their momentum from 1998, as the S&P 500, the Dow and
NASDAQ all reached record highs in January. The technology sector, and
Internet stocks in particular, were the main contributors. In the bond
markets, domestic securities continued to trade at historically low
yields, while positive economic news helped credit-sensitive sectors
outperform Treasury bonds.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

FIDELITY GROWTH & INCOME 12.69% 27.98% 170.88% 504.31%

Growth & Income Funds Average 7.64% 17.35% 130.52% 314.36%
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the growth and income
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 866 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio on January 31, 1989. As
the chart shows, by January 31, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $60,431 - a 504.31% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500
Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $56,278 - a
462.78% increase.
(checkmark) UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The first month of 1999 proved to
be a continuation of 1998's strong
U.S. stock market performance.
For the six-month period ending
January 31, 1999, the Standard
and Poor's 500 Index - a popular
performance measure of U.S. stock
markets - returned 15.02%. In
the early stages of the six-month
period, U.S. equity markets were
staggering toward a deep abyss,
one they would fall into on the news
of Russia's currency devaluation
and loan defaults. Faced with
global economic chaos, investors
began fleeing the equity markets
in droves, searching for safer, less
volatile havens - particularly U.S.
Treasuries. To address the lack of
confidence in domestic and global
equity markets, the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board intervened with three
separate 0.25% interest-rate cuts in
the late fall. Those cuts, combined
with skyrocketing Internet and
technology advances, helped stocks
to quickly ascend to - and even
surpass - their former lofty levels.
At the end of 1998, the S&P 500(registered trademark)
recorded its unprecedented
fourth-straight year of returns
exceeding 20%. Despite some
instances of profit-taking in
technology issues and concerns
over Brazil's currency devaluation
in the first month of 1999, the
S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones
Industrial Average and NASDAQ
all reached record highs in
January.

An interview with Steven Kaye, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Growth &
Income Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. For the six months that ended January 31, 1999, the fund returned
12.69%. This topped the growth & income funds average, which had a
six-month return of 7.64% according to Lipper Inc. The fund's return
trailed that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned 15.02%
during the same time. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 1999,
the fund returned 27.98%, while the Lipper peer group and S&P 500
returned 17.35% and 32.49%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Over the past six months, market performance has been very
segmented, with several sectors accounting for much of the market's
gains and, consequently, much of the fund's performance. Take
technology, for example. After enduring a difficult performance
stretch in the summer and fall of 1998, technology stocks began to
turn the corner in October and never looked back. Reduced inventories
throughout the sector may have fueled this surge and, with bellwether
tech holdings such as Microsoft, Intel and IBM within its portfolio,
the fund was able to participate in this rally. Oracle and EMC were
other computer-related investments that performed extremely well.
Technology stocks have increasingly become a larger portion of the
fund - as well as the overall stock market - due mainly to changes in
the structure of the U.S. economy. At the end of the period, in fact,
technology stocks had become one of the largest sectors in the market,
accounting for just under 22% of the S&P 500's total market value.
Q. WERE THERE ANY OTHER AREAS IN WHICH THE FUND WAS ABLE TO CAPITALIZE
ON THIS SEGMENTED PERFORMANCE?
A. Telecommunications was another fertile area during the period, as
many telecom companies benefited from the demand for better voice,
data and general Internet services. The fund's investments in MCI
WorldCom, AT&T and SBC Communications performed very well as a result.
Q. WHAT ABOUT SOME OF THE AREAS THAT DIDN'T PERFORM SO WELL?
A. I'd single out finance stocks and hospital-related investments.
Finance stocks - particularly banks - lagged the market due mainly to
a worldwide tightening of credit and concerns over lending to hedge
funds. As a result, the fund's investment in Citicorp - which merged
with Travelers during the period to form Citigroup - was
disappointing, as were its positions in BankAmerica and Bank One. As
we neared the end of the period, however, finance stocks were showing
signs of rebounding. Two hospital-related investments also detracted
from the fund's performance, as Tenet Healthcare and Health Management
Associates were each affected by business slowdowns.
Q. A LOT HAS BEEN SAID AND WRITTEN ABOUT THE SHARP APPRECIATION IN
INTERNET STOCKS DURING THE PERIOD. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE
STOCKS AND WHAT ROLE, IF ANY, DID THEY PLAY IN THE PORTFOLIO?
A. There's no doubt in my mind that the Internet is for real and here
to stay. It's changing the face of business. Online brokerage trades,
for instance, increased dramatically in 1998. People seem to be very
attracted to the convenience of pointing and clicking as opposed to
using the phone. It's particularly tough, though, to look into the
future of Internet stocks and determine which companies will emerge as
the winners. Over the last six months, I increased the fund's holdings
in large-cap growth names such as Microsoft and Cisco Systems, each of
which I felt was well-positioned to benefit from the popularity of the
Internet going forward. The Internet also is creating opportunities
for companies with advanced communications capabilities. The need for
bandwidth has created opportunities for companies with competitive
advantages in other emerging areas, such as cable and wireless.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm taking a cautious approach and have modest expectations going
forward. On the plus side, the U.S. has enjoyed almost unprecedented
economic prosperity over the past few years. Interest-rate cuts by the
Federal Reserve Board, a high level of consumer confidence and strong
consumer spending trends have been very beneficial. On the other hand,
I'm very concerned about high stock valuations throughout the market.
Higher interest rates, slowing corporate profits and deteriorating
international conditions are concerns for 1999.

STEVE KAYE ON A POTPOURRI
OF TOPICS:
"The CONCENTRATION of the fund's
top-20 holdings increased during
the period, from around 33% of total
investments to just under 40%. This
is consistent with the fact that the
top holdings represent my best ideas
- - and consequently where I place
most of my faith - but some of
the increase also can be
attributed to the narrow equity
market we've seen. A relatively
small number of large-cap stocks
did very well and some - such as
General Electric and Microsoft -
happened to be among the fund's
top holdings.
"REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS,
or REITs, were an area of
disappointment during the period.
Most REITs are of the small-cap
stock variety, and with large-cap
stocks leading the market's rally,
small caps were left behind. The
turbulence in capital markets last
fall - caused by Russia and
hedge-fund lending concerns -
caused an overall slowdown in real
estate financing. REIT yields,
though, remain at a significant
premium to government bond yields
and I feel they show good potential
going forward.
"Another industry that was hurt by
RISING VALUATIONS was the
pharmaceutical group. These stocks

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Effective the close of
business on April 3, 1998, the fund was closed to new accounts. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available
(and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (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
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount,
non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser,
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying
securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements
stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $6,007,322,000 and $7,299,998,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .20%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the
period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
.49% of average net assets.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .19% of average net assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,118,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $2,558,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $5,000 and $1,008,000, respectively, under these
arrangements.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After the first month of 1999, U.S. stock markets seem to have
maintained their momentum from 1998, as the S&P 500, the Dow and
NASDAQ all reached record highs in January. The technology sector, and
Internet stocks in particular, were the main contributors. In the bond
markets, domestic securities continued to trade at historically low
yields, while positive economic news helped credit-sensitive sectors
outperform Treasury bonds.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Growth Funds Average 13.23% 27.06% 142.23% n/a
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on April 27, 1993. For example, if you
had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year,
the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the
fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure
how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the growth funds average, which reflects the performance
of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The
past six months average represents a peer group of 1,109 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

S&P 500 32.49% 24.25% 23.17%
Growth Funds Average 27.06% 18.92% n/a
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund on April 27, 1993, when the
fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 1999, the value of
the investment would have grown to $40,019 - a 300.19% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $33,264 - a
232.64% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The first month of 1999 proved to
be a continuation of 1998's strong
U.S. stock market performance.
For the six-month period ending
January 31, 1999, the Standard
and Poor's 500 Index - a popular
performance measure of U.S. stock
markets - returned 15.02%. In
the early stages of the six-month
period, U.S. equity markets were
staggering toward a deep abyss,
one they would fall into on the news
of Russia's currency devaluation
and loan defaults. Faced with
global economic chaos, investors
began fleeing the equity markets
in droves, searching for safer, less
volatile havens - particularly U.S.
Treasuries. To address the lack of
confidence in domestic and global
equity markets, the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board intervened with three
separate 0.25% interest-rate cuts in
the late fall. Those cuts, combined
with skyrocketing Internet and
technology advances, helped stocks
to quickly ascend to - and even
surpass - their former lofty levels.
At the end of 1998, the S&P 500
recorded its unprecedented
fourth-straight year of returns
exceeding 20%. Despite some
instances of profit-taking in
technology issues and concerns
over Brazil's currency devaluation
in the first month of 1999, the
S&P 500 index, Dow Jones
Industrial Average and NASDAQ
all reached record highs in
January.

An interview with Charles Mangum, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Dividend Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, CHARLES?
A. For the six months that ended January 31, 1999, the fund returned
14.03%. This topped the growth funds average, as tracked by Lipper
Inc., which returned 13.23% during the same period. The Standard &
Poor's 500 Index had a six-month return of 15.02% as of January 31,
1999. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 1999, the fund returned
33.72%. The Lipper peer group and S&P 500 returned 27.06% and 32.49%,
respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S RETURN TRAIL THAT OF THE S&P 500 OVER THE LAST
SIX MONTHS?
A. In a word, technology. Technology stocks led the market's charge
over the past six months, and while the fund had stakes in some of the
larger technology companies - such as Microsoft and Texas Instruments
- - its overall exposure to technology was lower than that of the S&P
500. The fund's underweighting in technology stems mainly from certain
reservations I have about the sector. First, valuations across the
technology sector have risen quickly and, in many cases, have done so
without a sound earnings growth foundation. Internet stocks in
particular exemplified this trend, but other technology areas were
affected as well. I'm also concerned about a potential tech slowdown
in the coming year. Some of the larger technology companies missed
earnings estimates in the fourth quarter of 1998 and that could be a
foreshadowing of what's to come. I'm also not convinced that
corporations can maintain the level of technology spending that we've
seen recently, particularly in a period of modest earnings growth.
Q. AT AROUND 19%, FINANCE STOCKS REPRESENTED THE FUND'S LARGEST SECTOR
EXPOSURE AT THE CLOSE OF THE PERIOD. HOW DID THESE STOCKS PERFORM?
A. Finance stocks in general had a pretty rough time, as a global
backdrop of emerging-market volatility overseas and domestic concern
over hedge-fund lending activities contributed to an overall
tightening of credit. As a result, two of the fund's worst-performing
stocks during the period were finance holdings Citigroup and
BankAmerica. That being said, however, the fund did benefit otherwise
from good individual stock selection within the finance group. The
fund's investments in Wells Fargo and Comerica - both top-10 positions
at the end of the period - performed relatively well. Wells Fargo, I
felt, stood to benefit from its merger with Norwest as well as from
its position within the promising California marketplace. Comerica, a
Midwest-based bank specializing in commercial lending, benefited from
solid management execution and the fact that the bank had virtually no
global lending exposure.
Q. HEALTH-RELATED STOCKS - PARTICULARLY THOSE IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL
AREA - FIGURED PROMINENTLY IN THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE OVER THE PAST
YEAR. WHY DID YOU CUT BACK ON SOME OF THESE HOLDINGS DURING THE
SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
A. It goes back to valuations again. When the general stock market
collapsed in late September and early October, share prices for many
pharmaceutical companies went through the roof. I took advantage of
this opportunity to lock in some gains for the fund. Then, as
drug-stock company valuations settled down in late 1998 and early
1999, I began to add to certain holdings again. Some of the larger
pharmaceutical stocks - such as Merck, Schering-Plough and American
Home Products - still occupy significant positions within the
portfolio. Health-related names that don't occupy positions in the
portfolio anymore include HEALTHSOUTH and Columbia HCA/Healthcare.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS CONTRIBUTED POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY TO
PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund realized good results from three of its technology-related
investments - Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Intel. When technology
stocks began their climb back in October 1998, these were some of the
larger names that investors favored. On the flip side, the fund's
investments in the area of energy service companies proved
disappointing. The fund's positions in oil exploration and drilling
companies such as Schlumberger, Halliburton, ENSCO and Cooper Cameron
suffered due to back-to-back warm winters in the Northeast and a sharp
decline in the price of oil. I'm holding onto these investments,
however, because I feel that the price of oil will gradually come
back.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'll be keeping a close eye on overall price levels within the
market. Stocks in general have become more expensive - particularly in
the large-cap growth area - and I may continue to add to the fund's
investments in smaller-and medium-sized stocks. A price correction of
some sort - barring any negative news on fundamentals - would go a
long way towards making technology stocks appealing to me. Unless we
see a dramatic change in valuations, I don't anticipate making
significant changes to the portfolio.

CHARLES MANGUM ON KEEPING
A STEADY PERSPECTIVE THROUGH
THE MARKET'S GYRATIONS:
"A company's ability to consistently
grow its earnings over time is key
to stock performance. When
certain market sectors are
performing well, however, it's
easy to get caught up in a state of
short-term euphoria. The success
of Internet-related stocks over the
past year, for instance, provides a
good example. One of my guiding
principles is to maintain an even
keel.
"When I read that a company
expects to generate 20% earnings
growth annually over a five-year
period, I'm very skeptical. First,
the data just doesn't prove it. In
looking at companies that grew
their earnings by 20% or greater in
1998, only 1% of those companies
would have been able to grow at a
minimum of 20% over the next four
years. Also, past earnings growth is
no guarantee of future earnings
growth. Of the companies that grew
their earnings by 20% or more in
each of the last five years, for
instance, studies show that only
2% will be able to sustain that level
for the next five years. When a
stock has a projected growth rate of
20%, the market typically bids that
stock up to a level that is
unrealistic. When reality sets in,
that stock usually falls out of favor.
"As a manager, I'm simply trying to
find the best growth for the best
value. Instead of 20%-plus
earnings growth, I'm very content
with double-digit growth. Keeping
a steady perspective through
short-term market trends helps
me focus on the stocks that I feel
will help the portfolio in the long
run."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND - CONTINUED
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies
having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund
lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility
allowing the fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other
participating funds.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $7,181,948,000 and $4,544,296,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .67% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After the first month of 1999, U.S. stock markets seem to have
maintained their momentum from 1998, as the S&P 500, the Dow and
NASDAQ all reached record highs in January. The technology sector, and
Internet stocks in particular, were the main contributors. In the bond
markets, domestic securities continued to trade at historically low
yields, while positive economic news helped credit-sensitive sectors
outperform Treasury bonds.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). Total returns do not include the effect of the
3.00% sales load which was eliminated as of September 30, 1998.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY OTC 27.76% 49.54% 172.35% 506.07%
NASDAQ 34.11% 55.38% 224.65% 593.66%
Mid-Cap Funds Average 7.14% 15.44% 100.99% 320.30%
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the NASDAQ Composite Index - a market capitalization-weighted index
that is designed to represent the performance of the National Market
System which includes over 5,000 stocks traded only over-the-counter
and not on an exchange. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the mid-cap funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 374 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY OTC 49.54% 22.19% 19.74%
NASDAQ 55.38% 26.56% 21.37%
Mid-Cap Funds Average 15.44% 14.64% 15.02%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity OTC Portfolio on January 31, 1989. As the chart
shows, by January 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $60,607 - a 506.07% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the NASDAQ Composite Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 would have grown to $69,366 - a 593.66% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The first month of 1999 proved to
be a continuation of 1998's strong
U.S. stock market performance.
For the six-month period ending
January 31, 1999, the Standard
and Poor's 500 Index - a popular
performance measure of U.S. stock
markets - returned 15.02%. In
the early stages of the six-month
period, U.S. equity markets were
staggering toward a deep abyss,
one they would fall into on the news
of Russia's currency devaluation
and loan defaults. Faced with
global economic chaos, investors
began fleeing the equity markets
in droves, searching for safer, less
volatile havens - particularly U.S.
Treasuries. To address the lack of
confidence in domestic and global
equity markets, the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board intervened with three
separate 0.25% interest-rate cuts in
the late fall. Those cuts, combined
with skyrocketing Internet and
technology advances, helped stocks
to quickly ascend to - and even
surpass - their former lofty levels.
At the end of 1998, the S&P 500(registered trademark)
recorded its unprecedented
fourth-straight year of returns
exceeding 20%. Despite some
instances of profit-taking in
technology issues and concerns
over Brazil's currency devaluation
in the first month of 1999, the
S&P 500 index, Dow Jones
Industrial Average and NASDAQ
all reached record highs in
January.

An interview with
Robert Bertelson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity OTC Portfolio
Q. BOB, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund did well, returning 27.76% for the six months that ended
January 31, 1999, and 49.54% for the 12 months that ended on the same
date. Those returns lagged the NASDAQ Composite Index's torrid pace of
34.11% and 55.38%, respectively, over the identical six- and 12-month
periods. On the other hand, the fund's returns far exceeded those of
the mid-cap funds average monitored by Lipper Inc., which recorded
six- and 12-month gains of 7.14% and 15.44%, respectively.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND BEAT ITS PEERS SO CONVINCINGLY YET TRAIL THE
INDEX?
A. The NASDAQ index's exceptional gains were largely attributable to
the strong performance of a small circle of large-capitalization
technology growth stocks. Early in January 1999, when valuations for
this type of stock rose to what I felt might be excessive levels, I
pared back those holdings. Unfortunately, I was a little early; those
stocks continued to surge upward through the end of the period. As
they did so, the index pulled ahead of the fund. In comparison with
both the index and OTC Portfolio, the typical fund in the Lipper
average included a lighter weighting of technology stocks, which hurt
the relative performance of the average.
Q. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Sure. It was a time of extreme volatility. Amid renewed concerns
about the Asian financial crisis late in the summer, Russia added to
investors' worries by devaluing its currency and defaulting on a
substantial portion of the country's debt. The resulting financial
tremors sent both stock and bond markets into a tailspin from August
through mid-October. Fortunately, the Federal Reserve Board managed to
turn the tide through a series of interest-rate cuts in September,
October and November. The markets responded with substantial
recoveries during the second half of the period.
Q. WHAT SHIFTS DID YOU MAKE IN THE FUND'S SECTOR ALLOCATIONS DURING
THE PERIOD?
A. The biggest changes occurred in technology and health care. When
the recent rally pushed valuations for many technology stocks to
rather heady extremes, I cut back on the fund's technology holdings -
from 51.8% at the end of July to 40.3% at the end of the period. On
the other hand, by January 1999 many health care stocks had sold off
considerably from their levels of early 1998 and were very reasonably
valued. A lot of the money that I took out of technology went into
health care, as evident in the latter's increase from the 7.6%
reported in last summer's annual report to 13.8% at the end of the
period.
Q. WHAT STOCKS PERFORMED WELL DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Microsoft - the fund's largest holding at the end of the period -
was a key contributor to the fund's performance. The company remains a
financial juggernaut, maintaining its dominant position in personal
computer operating systems. Microsoft saw especially rapid growth in
its Windows NT product for larger corporate client-server systems.
Another core holding, MCI WorldCom, also performed well. The company
has done a good job of positioning itself to benefit from the
explosive growth in Internet usage. Moreover, the merger with MCI
allows the company to offer users end-to-end connectivity on its own
network, thereby reducing operating costs and enabling the company to
offer customers higher quality and better security.
Q. WHAT STOCKS DISAPPOINTED YOU?
A. FIRSTPLUS Financial, a lender of home-equity loans, suffered from
the turbulence in the credit markets caused by Russia's actions. The
fund no longer owns that stock. Another weak holding, Aspect
Telecommunications, encountered difficulty when earnings dipped during
the company's attempt to broaden its call-center business to include a
variety of customer care services.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, BOB?
A. We've just come through a very strong period for NASDAQ stocks. The
fund's shareholders should keep in mind that historically the NASDAQ
tends to be volatile, with sharp moves up and down. A correction from
current levels would not be surprising. Looking ahead, the outlook is
primarily favorable at this point. If the economy continues its
vibrant growth without prompting the Federal Reserve Board to raise
interest rates, the investing environment should remain constructive.

BOB BERTELSON ON INVESTING
IN INTERNET STOCKS:
"There's no question that the
Internet is changing the way the
world works, learns and plays.
However, it's an embryonic
industry in which long-term
winners and losers are virtually
impossible to identify now. This
makes selecting Internet
investments challenging, to say
the least.
"Part of the challenge lies in the
fact that the Internet is such an
egalitarian medium. That is, it's
relatively easy for almost anyone
to do business on the Internet
because there are very few
barriers to entry. Consequently, in
the short run, I think we'll see a
high turnover of companies moving
into and out of various
Internet-related businesses, as the
medium experiences growing pains
on its way towards a more stable
and predictable plateau.
"In the next few years, we'll see
technological advances that will
make it possible to access the
Internet at much higher speeds
than are possible currently. Greater
speed will transform the ways in
which people use the medium. For
now, as I watch these changes and
try to identify important trends,
my strategy is a conservative one
that emphasizes `enablers' such as
network equipment providers and
so-called `bandwidth services,'
which provide the connection
between the Internet and the end
user. For now, I think that these
are the most prudent ways to invest
in Internet-related businesses."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity OTC Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities
Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available
(and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (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
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, net operating losses and losses
deferred due to wash sales . The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse
in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal
year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $2,932,809,000 and $2,857,010,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .35%.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .49% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $68,000 on sales of shares of the fund, all of which
was retained. Effective September 30, 1998, the fund's 3% sales charge
was eliminated.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .23% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $86,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $330,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $3,000 and $120,000, respectively, under these
arrangements.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After the first month of 1999, U.S. stock markets seem to have
maintained their momentum from 1998, as the S&P 500, the Dow and
NASDAQ all reached record highs in January. The technology sector, and
Internet stocks in particular, were the main contributors. In the bond
markets, domestic securities continued to trade at historically low
yields, while positive economic news helped credit-sensitive sectors
outperform Treasury bonds.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). Total returns do not include the effect of the
3.00% sales load which was eliminated as of September 30, 1998.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY BLUE CHIP GROWTH 18.78% 39.05% 181.59% 686.68%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 15.02% 32.49% 196.12% 462.78%
Growth Funds Average 13.23% 27.06% 142.23% 376.31%
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the growth funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 1,109 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY BLUE CHIP GROWTH 39.05% 23.00% 22.91%
S&P 500 32.49% 24.25% 18.86%
Growth Funds Average 27.06% 18.92% 16.41%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund on January 31, 1989. As the
chart shows, by January 31, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $78,668 - a 686.68% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over
the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $56,278 - a 462.78% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The first month of 1999 proved to
be a continuation of 1998's strong
U.S. stock market performance.
For the six-month period ending
January 31, 1999, the Standard
and Poor's 500 Index - a popular
performance measure of U.S. stock
markets - returned 15.02%. In
the early stages of the six-month
period, U.S. equity markets were
staggering toward a deep abyss,
one they would fall into on the news
of Russia's currency devaluation
and loan defaults. Faced with
global economic chaos, investors
began fleeing the equity markets
in droves, searching for safer, less
volatile havens - particularly U.S.
Treasuries. To address the lack of
confidence in domestic and global
equity markets, the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board intervened with three
separate 0.25% interest-rate cuts in
the late fall. Those cuts, combined
with skyrocketing Internet and
technology advances, helped stocks
to quickly ascend to - and even
surpass - their former lofty levels.
At the end of 1998, the S&P 500
recorded its unprecedented
fourth-straight year of returns
exceeding 20%. Despite some
instances of profit-taking in
technology issues and concerns
over Brazil's currency devaluation
in the first month of 1999, the
S&P 500 index, Dow Jones
Industrial Average and NASDAQ
all reached record highs in
January.

An interview with John McDowell, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Blue
Chip Growth Fund
Q. JOHN, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. It did very well. For the six months that ended January 31, 1999,
the fund returned 18.78%, beating the 15.02% return of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index and the 13.23% return posted by the growth funds
average tracked by Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended January
31, 1999, the fund returned 39.05%, compared to 32.49% for the S&P 500
and 27.06% for the Lipper growth funds average.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND POST SUCH A STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. Over the past six months, the strong performance of the S&P 500 was
dominated by certain technology and telecommunications stocks. The
fund's performance was bolstered by its blue-chip technology
investments, including Microsoft, Intel and Cisco Systems, and from
maintaining a heavier weighting in that sector than was represented in
the S&P 500. Having a smaller stake in the underperforming finance
sector than the S&P 500 also helped the fund. Relative to its peers,
the fund probably benefited by having a bigger stake in
larger-capitalization, blue-chip companies than the average growth
fund. Large-company, blue-chip stocks generally posted the best
relative performance.
Q. TECHNOLOGY AND HEALTH CARE REMAINED THE FUND'S LARGEST SECTOR
WEIGHTINGS, COMBINING TO REPRESENT MORE THAN 46% OF INVESTMENTS. WHAT
DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THESE SECTORS?
A. As long as technology proves to be among the market's leading
growth sectors, it will be attractive to this fund. Sectors such as
finance and energy that offer less compelling earnings growth rates
generally make up a smaller proportion of the fund. It's important to
remember that decisions regarding the fund's make-up are not made
based on outlooks for particular market sectors, but rather are made
on a company-by-company basis. In terms of the fund's health care
position, that stake was largely made up of pharmaceutical companies
such as Merck, Lilly, Pfizer and Schering-Plough. These companies have
proven themselves able to develop and market new drug products that
help them post strong earnings growth.
Q. WHAT MOVES DID YOU MAKE WITH THE FUND DURING THE MARKET VOLATILITY
IN THE SECOND HALF OF 1998?
A. The investment discipline that I pursue - and which is described in
more detail at the end of this interview - generally doesn't change
with market conditions. Market volatility caused the prices of some
company stocks to drop to attractive levels. As a result, I used the
opportunity to pick up some stocks on the cheap.
Q. WHICH STOCKS WERE AMONG THE TOP CONTRIBUTORS TO THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE? WHICH PROVED TO BE DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. As I said, many technology shares did well, rebounding from a
slowdown caused by an inventory build-up early in 1998 and fears that
reduced demand from Asia would hurt the industry. Microsoft was the
top performer, consistently beating earnings expectations through
better-than-expected sales of its Windows and Office software. Intel
also performed well, succeeding in its attempt to produce ever-faster
microprocessors. Two other tech companies benefited from the explosion
of the Internet: Cisco Systems, which makes routers used to direct
Internet traffic, and America Online, which benefited from increased
Internet usage, Web commerce and increasing advertising revenues. On
the downside, an underweighting relative to the S&P in telephone
utilities stocks, especially among the regional Bell operating
companies, hurt the fund. While these stocks did well, I was worried
about what a more competitive landscape would do to their earnings,
and thus didn't invest in them. Coca-Cola also disappointed, as its
earnings were hurt by problems in its overseas business, especially in
Russia.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I don't foresee any significant overall earnings growth in the
market this year or any big moves in interest rates. I will continue
to look for companies with good competitive positions, selling at
reasonable valuations and offering solid earnings growth over the next
12 months. We've seen extraordinary stock-price growth in the market
over the past few years, during a time of average earnings growth.
Investors need to understand that returns such as we've seen over the
past few years are the exception, not the rule, and should therefore
temper their expectations.

JOHN MCDOWELL ON HIS
INVESTMENT DISCIPLINE:
"When selecting stocks for the
Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund, I
start first by looking at companies
with market capitalizations in
excess of $1 billion. I look for
companies that offer projected
long-term growth rates of 10% or
more, with strong current
earnings momentum. The
companies also tend to enjoy a
dominant franchise with
sustainable competitive
advantages. I then construct a
portfolio of stocks that I believe
offers the best investment value,
while strictly monitoring the
fund's exposure to particular
stocks, industries or market
capitalizations in order to keep it
diversified.
"I'll tend to sell a stock when our
research indicates a reduction in
its near-term earnings growth or if
there is a deterioration in the
longer-term prospects for the
company. In addition, I may sell a
stock when its price increases to
the point where it is too expensive
relative to the market, its industry
or its historical valuation."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted
securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available
(and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (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
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $4,258,499,000 and $3,346,391,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .46% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
SALES LOAD. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, is the general distributor of the fund. FDC received a sales
charge of up to 3% for
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
selling shares of the fund. Effective September 30, 1998, the fund's
3% sales charge was eliminated. Prior to October 12, 1990, FDC
received a sales charge of up to 2% and a deferred sales charge of up
to 1%. Shares purchased before October 12, 1990 are subject to a 1%
deferred sales charge upon redemption. For the period, FDC received
sales charges of $755,000 of which $0 was retained, and deferred sales
charges of $0 respectively, on sales of shares of the fund.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .23% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $706,000 for the
period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $1,109,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's transfer agent fees were reduced by $450,000
under this arrangement.
