THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN
THE "DISTRIBUTION SERVICES" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 21.
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on
behalf of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may
not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the funds and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the fund of distribution expenses.
Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to
FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution
of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service-providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such
payments for Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund shares.
Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than
those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the
extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from directly engaging in the business
of underwriting, selling or distributing securities. FDC believes that
the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks, as well as further
judicial or administrative decisions or interpretations, could prevent
a bank from continuing to perform all or a part of the contemplated
services. If a bank were prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would
consider what actions, if any, would be necessary to continue to
provide efficient and effective shareholder services. In such event,
changes in the operation of the fund might occur, including possible
termination of any automatic investment or redemption or other
services then provided by the bank. It is not expected that
shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these occurrences. In addition, state securities laws
on this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law
expressed herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be
required to register as dealers pursuant to state law.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

new accounts may be established: 1) by participants in most group
employer retirement plans (and their successor plans) if the fund had

another plan sponsored by the same employer) by April 3, 1998, and 2)

investment advisers that have discretionary assets of at least $500
million invested in mutual funds and have included the fund in their
discretionary account program since April 3, 1998. These restrictions
generally will apply to investments made directly with Fidelity and

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the
Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the
fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of
your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of
sales charges.
To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN
THE "DISTRIBUTION SERVICES" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 22.
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on
behalf of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may
not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the funds and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the fund of distribution expenses.
Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to
FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution
of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service-providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such
payments for Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio shares.
Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than
those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the
extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from directly engaging in the business
of underwriting, selling or distributing securities. FDC believes that
the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks, as well as further
judicial or administrative decisions or interpretations, could prevent
a bank from continuing to perform all or a part of the contemplated
services. If a bank were prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would
consider what actions, if any, would be necessary to continue to
provide efficient and effective shareholder services. In such event,
changes in the operation of the fund might occur, including possible
termination of any automatic investment or redemption or other
services then provided by the bank. It is not expected that
shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these occurrences. In addition, state securities laws
on this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law
expressed herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be
required to register as dealers pursuant to state law.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.
