DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While no major Y2K glitches disrupted the financial markets to start
the new year, inflation worries re-emerged to hinder stock performance
throughout January. The S&P 500(Registered trademark) and Dow Jones
Industrial Average each fell approximately 5%, while the
technology-oriented NASDAQ Index dropped more than 3% for the month.
In bond markets, the potential for further rate hikes as a pre-emptive
move against inflation continued to be an obstacle to fixed-income
performance.
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 1-800-544-6666, 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.

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.

S&P 500 5.59% 10.35% 225.05% 442.52%
Growth Funds Average 14.39% 18.90% 199.36% 395.44%
</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 500SM 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 1,291 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison
categories that group funds according to portfolio characteristics and
capitalization, as well as by capitalization only. These averages are
listed on page 5 of this report.*

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, 1990. As the
chart shows, by January 31, 2000, the value of the investment would
have grown to $77,031 - a 670.31% 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 $54,252 - a 442.52% 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
What goes up must come down. Or
must it? Technology stocks seemed
united in their quest to prove this
age-old theory wrong during the six
months that ended January 31, 2000.
Driven in large part by investors'
ongoing fancy with the Internet and
dot.com stocks, the technology sector
- - as measured by the NASDAQ
Index - returned 49.52% during
the six-month period. In contrast,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,
which serves as a general barometer
of overall U.S. stock performance,
returned 5.59%. It wasn't only the
industry leaders that got into the
act, either, as the technology rally
included scores of smaller and
medium-sized stocks. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a popular gauge
of small-cap stock performance -
returned a respectable 12.25%
during the period. The NASDAQ,
however, continued to be the
index du jour during the period -
the index was at around 2700 points
when the period began, crossed
4000 before New Year's and ended
January just under that threshold.
Since many tech stocks rose despite
a lack of discernible earnings, these
gains perplexed some money
managers, especially those that feel a
company's stock price follows its
earnings growth. Sensing that the
Federal Reserve Board would raise
interest rates in early February, tech
stocks sold off some throughout
January. Time will tell, though, if it's
only a speed bump.

An interview with John McDowell, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Blue
Chip Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JOHN?
A. For the six months that ended January 31, 2000, the fund returned
13.33%, outpacing the 5.59% return delivered by the Standard & Poor's
500 Index. The growth funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned
14.39% during this time frame. For the 12 months that ended January
31, 2000, the fund returned 13.82%, compared to the 10.35% for the S&P
500 and 18.90% for the Lipper growth funds average.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM THE S&P 500, YET SLIGHTLY
LAG ITS LIPPER PEER GROUP DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. The market had a distinctive growth bias over the past six months,
and my predisposition to invest mainly in growth stocks was a big
factor in the fund's success. Over the past six months, the technology
sector was, by far, the strongest performing sector. Our overweighting
in tech relative to the index fueled the fund's outperformance during
the period. The typical growth fund, however, had an even higher
weighting in technology stocks than we did, which detracted from
performance versus our Lipper peers. While the earnings of technology
stocks grew fairly rapidly, the prices for these stocks were generally
high. We took a more balanced investment approach by not making highly
concentrated bets in large tech stocks and instead made a variety of
smaller investments in good growth stories outside of tech. This
less-concentrated approach did not pay off over the past six months
relative to the fund's peers.
Q. HOW DID THE EXTREME NARROWNESS OF THE MARKET INFLUENCE YOUR
INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
A. Every day, I talk to Fidelity analysts with compelling investment
ideas. This free flow of ideas enables me to comfortably hold more
stocks than the typical non-Fidelity fund manager. The benefit is
better diversification. The downside to better diversification is more
difficulty generating strong relative returns in those unusual times
when market performance is coming from relatively few stocks. We refer
to this condition as weak market breadth. To illustrate this point, in
1999, the S&P 500 index returned 21%, largely driven by technology.
The median stock in the index, however, was down 3%. Fortunately, we
were able to stay a few steps ahead of the game with the help of good
stock picking.
Q. WHAT STOCKS WERE KEY CONTRIBUTORS TO PERFORMANCE?
A. I was able to add value through security selection in almost every
market sector. In technology, Cisco Systems was a big contributor to
fund performance; in health care, Amgen; in retail, Home Depot; and in
the capital goods sector, Corning, Inc. As a group, though, technology
stocks helped the most. Over the course of the period, as it became
clear to us that Y2K concerns were overblown, we added selectively to
rapidly growing technology stocks, which significantly helped
performance. The names included Veritas, JDS Uniphase, Conexant,
Network Appliance, Siebel Systems and Intuit.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DRAGGED ON FUND RETURNS?
A. Three technology stocks were among the biggest detractors from
relative performance - Nortel, Qualcomm and Oracle Systems. Oracle was
a strong performer for the S&P, but we were hurt for underweighting
the stock. Having no exposure to high-flying benchmark issues Nortel
and Qualcomm also dampened performance. Philip Morris was the biggest
absolute detractor, suffering from further tobacco-related litigation.
Selected financial stocks, such as Fannie Mae and AIG, although
relatively attractive from earnings growth and valuation perspectives,
trended lower in light of a rising interest-rate environment.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I remain concerned with valuations, particularly those of
technology stocks. Interest rates have risen steadily for over a year
now, and usually this is negative for stock prices. In fact, the
majority of stocks in the S&P were actually flat to down during the
period. Conversely, technology stocks advanced at a record pace. The
prices of most tech stocks have run up much faster than underlying
earnings. Valuations, therefore, have become stretched. We continue to
remain underweighted in tech stocks versus the typical Lipper growth
manager and are focused on what we believe are the companies with the
best prospects. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict if and when
technology stock valuations will fall to more normal levels compared
with the broader market. There are many blue-chip growth stocks now
trading at attractive valuations outside of tech, and we have
selectively bought those attractively priced stocks with good
near-term earnings growth prospects.

JOHN MCDOWELL ADDRESSES
THE CHALLENGES OF MANAGING
A BLUE-CHIP FUND IN A
TECHNOLOGY-LED MARKET:
"Each different market
environment presents its own sets
of challenges, and this
environment is no different.
Today, we are faced with a `new
paradigm' and a `new economy'
driven by improved
communications technologies in
general, and the Internet in
particular. Today, many of the
market's top performers - the
blue chips of the future - are
companies with large market
capitalizations, constantly
shifting business models, and,
most importantly, no earnings.
Historically, year-in and year-out,
there has been one constant to the
stock market: Companies with the
best earnings growth generate the
best stock price performances.
The promise of high growth
potential Internet companies has
combined with investor willingness
to fund extremely risky ventures.
The stock market's appetite for
these companies has encouraged a
mass proliferation of Internet
companies which, in turn, use most
of the billions of dollars raised in the
public stock market to fund
ambitious advertising programs. In
the past year, Internet-related
stocks with deepening losses have
provided the best performance in
the market, counter to history. Some
of these companies will probably
be very successful, but in the end
most will probably not be able to
justify their billion or multi-billion
dollar valuations. I am focused on
finding the ultimate winners in the
Internet sector and am not blindly
owning stocks just because they
go up every day."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 2000 (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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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.
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
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
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, Federal Agency,
and other obligations found satisfactory by FMR 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.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $5,080,152,000 and $4,615,947,000, 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from
.2167% 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
.57% 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. Shares purchased before
October 12, 1990 are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon
redemption. For the period, FDC received deferred sales charges of
$14,000 on redemption 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 .22% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $270,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral.
5. SECURITY LENDING - CONTINUED
At period end, the value of the securities loaned amounted to
$16,049,000. The fund received cash collateral of $15,701,000 which
was invested in cash equivalents.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $1,008,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, 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 $688,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
7. CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.
Based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the fund, the
Board of Trustees has determined not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP as the fund's independent auditor and voted to appoint Deloitte &
Touche LLP for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000. During the two
most recent fiscal years and through January 20, 2000,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's audit reports contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were their reports qualified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, there
were no disagreements between the fund and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
on accounting principles, financial statements disclosure or audit
scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make reference to
the disagreement in their report.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While no major Y2K glitches disrupted the financial markets to start
the new year, inflation worries re-emerged to hinder stock performance
throughout January. The S&P 500(Registered trademark) and Dow Jones
Industrial Average each fell approximately 5%, while the
technology-oriented NASDAQ Index dropped more than 3% for the month.
In bond markets, the potential for further rate hikes as a pre-emptive
move against inflation continued to be an obstacle to fixed-income
performance.
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 1-800-544-6666, 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).

Growth Funds Average 14.39% 18.90% 199.36% 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 500SM 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 1,291 mutual funds.
These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new
comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio
characteristics and capitalization, as well as by capitalization only.
These averages are listed on page 5 of this report.*

S&P 500 10.35% 26.59% 21.19%

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, 2000, the value of
the investment would have grown to $40,784 - a 307.84% 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 $36,706 - a
267.06% 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
What goes up must come down. Or
must it? Technology stocks seemed
united in their quest to prove this
age-old theory wrong during the six
months that ended January 31, 2000.
Driven in large part by investors'
ongoing fancy with the Internet and
dot.com stocks, the technology sector
- - as measured by the NASDAQ
Index - returned 49.52% during
the six-month period. In contrast,
the Standard & Poor's 500 SM Index,
which serves as a general barometer
of overall U.S. stock performance,
returned 5.59%. It wasn't only the
industry leaders that got into the
act, either, as the technology rally
included scores of smaller and
medium-sized stocks. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a popular gauge
of small-cap stock performance -
returned a respectable 12.25%
during the period. The NASDAQ,
however, continued to be the
index du jour during the period -
the index was at around 2700 points
when the period began, crossed
4000 before New Year's and ended
January just under that threshold.
Since many tech stocks rose despite
a lack of discernible earnings, these
gains perplexed some money
managers, especially those that feel a
company's stock price follows its
earnings growth. Sensing that the
Federal Reserve Board would raise
interest rates in early February, tech
stocks sold off some throughout
January. Time will tell, though, if it's
only a speed bump.

An interview with Charles Mangum, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Dividend Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, CHARLES?
A. It was a challenging period for the fund. For the six months that
ended January 31, 2000, the fund returned -4.67%. This trailed both
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - which returned 5.59% during that
time - and the growth funds average, which returned 14.39%, according
to Lipper Inc. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2000, the fund
returned 1.91%, while the S&P 500 and Lipper group returned 10.35% and
18.90%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELD THE FUND BACK?
A. Mostly the investing climate. Investors continued to be drawn to
the higher-growth segments of the market, particularly technology.
More specifically, investors favored smaller, rapid-growth names,
especially those with an Internet theme. Many of these stocks rose
quickly during the period, despite lacking a solid earnings growth
foundation. Since my strategy is to look for stable-growth names -
with an emphasis on dividends and earnings growth - this momentum
environment took its toll. The market seemed to punish those companies
within the S&P 500 that paid dividends the quickest, and rewarded
companies that paid dividends at a slower pace or not at all.
Q. GIVEN THE DIFFICULT SCENARIO, HOW DID YOU PLAY THE TECHNOLOGY
GROUP?
A. I tried to build positions in market leaders with good earnings
growth track records. The fund continued to hold a fairly significant
stake in Microsoft, and I added to its investments in networking giant
Cisco Systems, as well as Intel. Performance-wise, each of these
stocks was among the fund's top-five individual contributors during
the period.
Q. FINANCE STOCKS ACCOUNTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 15% OF THE FUND'S
INVESTMENTS DURING THE PERIOD. HOW DID THIS GROUP PERFORM?
A. Finance stocks were hit very hard by rising interest rates, as well
as by the fact that several banks in the sector missed their earnings
targets by wide margins. What proved even more frustrating, though,
was that even when banks did reach their earnings targets, many still
declined in value. The fund's positions in Fannie Mae and Associates
First Capital were two notable finance detractors, as was Midwest
regional bank Comerica. Shareholders may notice that both Fannie Mae
and Comerica remain solid positions in the portfolio, despite their
lackluster performance. I've been patient with these stocks, simply
because I believe in each company's ability to grow their earnings
over time.
Q. HEALTH STOCKS REPRESENTED FOUR OF THE FUND'S TOP-10 HOLDINGS AT THE
END OF THE PERIOD. HOW DID THESE STOCKS PERFORM?
A. This group had a tough time, but they began to bounce back toward
the end of the period. Some of the fund's larger drug-stock names -
including Schering-Plough and Eli Lilly - met or beat their earnings
expectations during the period but were still down. Drug stocks in
general fell as concerns over government intervention grew. Also, the
earnings growth of the group relative to the S&P 500 was
disappointing. All that aside, though, I have seen some encouraging
signs lately. Valuations finally reached more reasonable levels during
the period, and increased consolidation activity - sparked by an
eventual resolution of the takeover battle involving Warner Lambert,
Pfizer and American Home Products - could provide a lift for drug
stocks as we get deeper into 2000.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's investment in retailer Home Depot performed well, as did
its position in Omnicom, a leading advertising firm that benefited
from dot.com advertising demand. Another strong performer was Texas
Instruments, which makes a digital processing chip that goes into most
handheld, wireless devices.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, CHARLES?
A. I'm going to keep plugging away at what I do best: finding good
companies with attractive valuations and the ability to grow their
earnings over time. The market hasn't rewarded this approach for some
time, but I'll remain patient. A price correction of some sort -
barring any negative news on company fundamentals - could present more
opportunities within the technology sector.

CHARLES MANGUM DISCUSSES
RECENT MARKET TRENDS AND
THEIR IMPACT ON THE FUND:
"I've been in this business for a long
time, and I've never seen such a
technology-driven market as we
witnessed in 1999. When it was all
said and done, in fact, technology
stocks accounted for approximately
70% of the S&P 500's advance.
What's more, 10 large-cap stocks
- - six of which resided in the tech
sector - were responsible for 60%
of the S&P's gain. We've seen this
type of narrowness before, but it's
never been so concentrated within
one sector. In fact, 49.2% of the
companies in the S&P 500 saw their
stocks decline in value in 1999.
"What does all this mean for the
fund and its investment
philosophy? It's obviously not
conducive to strong returns.
Investors threw caution to the
wind in 1999, emphasizing
revenues and paying little
attention to earnings. As a result,
companies that didn't exist two
years ago quickly ascended to
multi-billion dollar market
capitalizations without
established earnings platforms.
"I can't say whether we're seeing a
fundamental shift in the way stocks
are valued. Historically, share
prices have followed earnings and
that wasn't the case in 1999. I do
know, however, that a little dose of
uncertainty - be it economic or
market-related - will go a long
way towards making investors a
bit more cautious and
conservative. If we do see some
form of uncertainty in 2000, more
of the stocks that Dividend Growth
emphasizes could come back into
favor."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 2000 (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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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.
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 &
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
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, Federal Agency,
and other obligations found satisfactory by FMR 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.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the funds may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the funds are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $5,364,708,000 and $8,004,329,000, 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 .2167% 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 .52% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
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 .21% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $353,000 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $2,684,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$2,622,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $1,282,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, 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 $1,000 and $242,000 respectively, under these arrangements.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While no major Y2K glitches disrupted the financial markets to start
the new year, inflation worries re-emerged to hinder stock performance
throughout January. The S&P 500(Registered trademark) and Dow Jones
Industrial Average each fell approximately 5%, while the
technology-oriented NASDAQ Index dropped more than 3% for the month.
In bond markets, the potential for further rate hikes as a pre-emptive
move against inflation continued to be an obstacle to fixed-income
performance.
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 1-800-544-6666, 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).
<TABLE>

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2000 PAST 6 MONTHS PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
FIDELITY GROWTH & INCOME 1.89% 4.16% 182.97% 444.63%
S&P 500 5.59% 10.35% 225.05% 442.52%
Growth & Income Funds Average 1.02% 6.97% 152.24% 300.81%
</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 500SM 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 978 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison
categories that group funds according to portfolio characteristics and
capitalization, as well as by capitalization only. These averages are
listed on page 5 of this report.*
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

S&P 500 10.35% 26.59% 18.42%
Growth & Income Funds Average 6.97% 19.94% 14.62%
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, 1990. As
the chart shows, by January 31, 2000, the value of the investment
would have grown to $54,463 - a 444.63% 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 $54,252 - a
442.52% 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
What goes up must come down. Or
must it? Technology stocks seemed
united in their quest to prove this
age-old theory wrong during the six
months that ended January 31, 2000.
Driven in large part by investors'
ongoing fancy with the Internet and
dot.com stocks, the technology sector
- - as measured by the NASDAQ
Index - returned 49.52% during
the six-month period. In contrast,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,
which serves as a general barometer
of overall U.S. stock performance,
returned 5.59%. It wasn't only the
industry leaders that got into the
act, either, as the technology rally
included scores of smaller and
medium-sized stocks. The Russell
2000(Registered trademark) Index - a popular gauge
of small-cap stock performance -
returned a respectable 12.25%
during the period. The NASDAQ,
however, continued to be the
index du jour during the period -
the index was at around 2700 points
when the period began, crossed
4000 before New Year's and ended
January just under that threshold.
Since many tech stocks rose despite
a lack of discernible earnings, these
gains perplexed some money
managers, especially those that feel a
company's stock price follows its
earnings growth. Sensing that the
Federal Reserve Board would raise
interest rates in early February, tech
stocks sold off some throughout
January. Time will tell, though, if it's
only a speed bump.

An interview with Steven Kaye, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Growth &
Income Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. For the six-month period ending January 31, 2000, the fund returned
1.89%. This outpaced the growth and income funds average tracked by
Lipper Inc., which returned 1.02% during that time frame. However, the
fund's performance trailed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which
returned 5.59% over the past six months. For the 12 months ending
January 31, 2000, the fund returned 4.16%, while the S&P 500 and the
Lipper average were up 10.35% and 6.97%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Much of the period - particularly the fourth quarter of 1999 - was,
in my opinion, unprecedented for its speculative, momentum-driven run
in technology and wireless telecommunications, leaving the rest of the
market well behind. Given our underweighting in these sectors relative
to the S&P 500, it's clear why the fund underperformed its benchmark.
Wireless data standout Qualcomm, for example - which the fund didn't
own - was up 272% in the fourth quarter alone, and tech names Oracle
and Yahoo! were each up over 140%.
Q. STILL, TECHNOLOGY WAS THE FUND'S LARGEST SECTOR WEIGHTING AT THE
END OF THE PERIOD. WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DID YOU SEEK IN THAT INDUSTRY?
A. I focused on the industry's more stable, predictable growers -
names such as Cisco, Microsoft and Intel, three of the fund's top-five
performers for the period. While I did increase the fund's tech
weighting from 16% six months ago to approximately 25% at the close of
the period, which helped the fund beat its peers, it didn't seem wise
in the long run to equal the S&P's nearly 30% weighting in the sector.
Q. WHY NOT?
A. Well, for one thing, speculative bubbles at some point do end. For
another, some of the tech sector's meteoric rise came at the expense
of common-sense, fundamental investment principles. More than a few
technology stocks experienced double- and even triple-digit gains, yet
did so by discounting heavily onto the future. That's not the kind of
investment that this fund is in the habit of chasing.
Q. WHAT OTHER STRATEGIES DID YOU EMPLOY TO LIFT THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE?
A. I bumped up its health care weighting. After subpar performance
throughout much of 1999, health stocks rallied late in the period as
investors began to recognize the industry's steady growth rates,
reasonable valuations, and a lessening of fears concerning
governmental price controls. Also, this sector traditionally does well
regardless of economic conditions, and that proved true once again.
Q. WHAT STOCKS WERE PARTICULARLY STRONG PERFORMERS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Several of the fund's health care picks, including Warner-Lambert
and Amgen, were among the fund's best contributors. GE, the fund's
largest holding, also was its best performer. Several of its
subsidiary enterprises in addition to the stalwart GE Capital were
particularly strong. Its power systems businesses - gas turbine
engines, for one example - were great earnings growth stories,
benefiting from increased demand around the world. American Express,
which topped an otherwise lackluster finance sector, was a big
beneficiary of the Internet; online transactions are made entirely by
credit card, versus the costlier bricks and mortar world where checks
and cash are also accepted. Also, AMEX's launch of its new "Blue"
Internet-friendly credit card was very successful.
Q. WHAT STOCKS DID NOT LIVE UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS?
A. MCI WorldCom disappointed. A slowdown in its voice long-distance
business led to a slowdown in revenue growth. Ongoing tobacco
litigation drove Philip Morris' stock down to its lowest price since
1994. I cut back appreciably on this holding. Finance stocks
Associates First Capital and Fannie Mae struggled against rising
interest rates, although Associates did compound its problems by
missing its earnings expectations.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, STEVE?
A. It does not appear at this point that the Federal Reserve Board's
interest-rate hikes have slowed the U.S. economy, so my guess is that
we still have a few rate hikes to go. Once the rate hikes come to an
end, I think steady growers such as large-cap pharmaceuticals stocks
have a brighter outlook than the more speculative issues. I will,
however, keep my eyes open for bargains within the technology and
wireless sectors, particularly Internet infrastructure plays that I
believe have real business models and several years of strong growth
ahead of them.

STEVEN KAYE ON THE
PROSPECTS FOR HEALTH CARE
STOCKS:
"While it's no secret that the
health care sector experienced a
less-than-stellar 1999, I think its
prospects are fairly bright in 2000,
and it could emerge as one of the
market's best-performing sectors
during the year.
"There are several reasons why I'm
bullish about the sector's
potential. First, many of the issues
surrounding the industry's decline
in 1999 have subsided, including
the threat of onerous government
pricing regulation and Medicare
reform. Any Medicare reform at
this point shouldn't be so toxic to
the health care industry that price
controls become necessary. Second,
many drug stocks maintained
good growth rates in 1999 but
were hurt by the overhang of
fading product pipelines. Today,
however, I see plenty of new
products in the pipeline, and with
swift FDA approval rates, there is
always the possibility for a new
blockbuster drug right around the
corner.
"Also, as I mentioned earlier in the
report, the health care sector
historically has stood up well in a
down economy. If the Fed's actions
succeed in slowing the economy,
traditionally stable, steady
growers such as health care
should outperform the overall
market. We've already seen that in
January. Technology finally
experienced a dip, and health care
was the month's best performing
sector. Of course, its only one
month out of 12, but so far, the
conditions are in place for health
care to enjoy a very prosperous
new year."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 2000 (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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED
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.
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,
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, Federal Agency,
and other obligations found satisfactory by FMR 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.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the
fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures
tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or
hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying
degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin
reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying
face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is
shown in the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures
Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the
underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in
the value of the underlying instruments or if
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains
(losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures
contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price
established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they
are traded.
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 $8,441,280,000 and $12,188,598,000, respectively, of which
U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated $0 and
$155,951,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $763,221,000 and $411,611,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% 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 .48% 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.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES - CONTINUED
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 $656,000. for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $776,000. The fund received cash collateral of
$821,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $2,257,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's transfer agent,
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 $1,168,000 under this arrangement.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of
at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:
