SUPPLEMENT TO THE FIDELITY ADVISOR FUNDS
CLASS A, CLASS T, CLASS B, AND CLASS C
OCTOBER 31,1997 PROSPECTUS
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION. The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund has unanimously approved an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") between Fidelity
Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series
VI. 
The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets and the
assumption of all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund solely in exchange for Class
A, Class T, and Institutional Class shares of Fidelity Advisor
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund equal in value to the relative net
asset value of the outstanding shares of Class A, Class T, and
Institutional Class, respectively, of Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund. Following such exchange,
Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund will
distribute such shares pro rata to the corresponding class in
liquidation of Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income
Fund as provided in the Agreement (the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement referred to as the "Reorganization").
The Reorganization can be consummated only if, among other things, it
is approved by a majority vote of shareholders. A Special Meeting (the
"Meeting") of the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund will be held on May 4, 1998, and approval of the
Agreement will be voted on at that time. In connection with the
Meeting, Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
will be filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
delivering to its shareholders of record a Proxy Statement describing
the Reorganization and a Prospectus for Fidelity Advisor Intermediate
Municipal Income Fund.
If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting and certain conditions
required by the Agreement are satisfied, the Reorganization is
expected to become effective on or about May 28, 1998. If shareholder
approval of the Agreement is delayed due to failure to meet a quorum
or otherwise, the Reorganization will become effective, if approved,
as soon as practicable thereafter.
In the event Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
shareholders fail to approve the Agreement, Fidelity Advisor
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund will continue to engage in
business as a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees
will consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of
the Fund.
Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund is closed to
new accounts pending the Reorganization. 
Fidelity Advisor California Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity Advisor
New York Municipal Income Fund are closed to new and existing
accounts.
Class A, Class T, and Class B of Fidelity Advisor Municipal Bond Fund
are closed to new and existing accounts except for shares purchased by
investors participating in the Fidelity sponsored TARGETS Program who
may purchase shares through December 31, 1997.
Fidelity Advisor High Income Municipal Fund has been renamed Fidelity
Advisor Municipal Income Fund.
The following information replaces similar information found in "Who
May Want to Invest" on page 3.
If you prefer not to pay a front-end sales charge, you should consider
Class B or Class C shares. While Class B and Class C shares are
subject to higher ongoing costs than Class A or Class T shares, in
general because of their higher 12b-1 fees, Class B and Class C shares
are sold with a CDSC instead of a front-end sales charge so your
entire purchase amount is immediately invested. In general, Class B
shares have higher costs than Class C shares over a short holding
period because Class B shares have a higher CDSC that declines over a
maximum of six years, and Class B shares have lower costs than Class C
shares over a longer period because Class B shares convert to Class A
shares after a maximum of seven years. Please note that purchase
amounts of more than $250,000 will not be accepted for Class B shares,
that purchase amounts of more than $1,000,000 generally will not be
accepted for Class C shares, and that Class A or Class T shares may
have lower costs for investments that qualify for a front-end sales
charge reduction or waiver. See "How to Buy Shares," page 80, for more
information on the maximum purchase amount for Class C shares. If you
sell your Class B shares of the Intermediate-Term Bond Funds within
three years or your Class B shares of the Bond Funds and the Equity
Funds within six years, you will normally pay a CDSC that varies
depending on how long you have held your shares. If you sell your
Class C shares within one year, you will normally pay a 1.00% CDSC.
See "Transaction Details," page 86, for CDSC schedules and related
information. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A
shares after a holding period of four years for the Intermediate-Term
Bond Funds and seven years for the Bond Funds and the Equity Funds.
Class C shares do not convert to another class of shares. See
"Transaction Details," page 86, for conversion information.

The following information replaces similar information found in
"Investment Principles and Risks" on page 67.
MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND seeks high current income, consistent with
prudent investment risk, by investing primarily in mortgage-related
securities. When consistent with its goal, the fund may also consider
the potential for capital gain. FMR normally invests at least 65% of
the fund's total assets in mortgage-related securities. The fund may
also invest in U.S. Government securities and instruments related to
U.S. Government securities. Instruments related to U.S. Government
securities may include futures or options on U.S. Government
securities or interests in U.S. Government securities that have been
repackaged by dealers or other third parties.
Although the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, FMR seeks
to manage the fund so that it generally reacts to changes in interest
rates similarly to government bonds with maturities between two and 10
years. However, the reaction of mortgage securities to changes in
interest rates can be difficult to predict since mortgage securities
are subject to prepayment of principal and can be structured in a
complex manner. In determining a security's maturity for purposes of
calculating the fund's average maturity, an estimate of the average
time for its principal to be paid may be used. This could be
substantially shorter than its stated final maturity. As of July 31,
1997, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately
5.8 years. 
GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND seeks high current income by investing in
U.S. Government securities and instruments related to U.S. Government
securities under normal conditions. FMR normally invests the fund's
assets only in U.S. Government securities, repurchase agreements, and
other instruments related to U.S. Government securities. Under normal
conditions, FMR invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in
U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements for U.S.
Government securities. Other instruments may include futures or
options on U.S. Government securities or interests in U.S. Government
securities that have been repackaged by dealers or other third
parties. It is important to note that neither the fund nor its yield
is guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Although the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, FMR seeks
to manage the fund so that it generally reacts to changes in interest
rates similarly to government bonds with maturities between five and
12 years. In determining a security's maturity for purposes of
calculating the fund's average maturity, an estimate of the average
time for its principal to be paid may be used. This could be
substantially shorter than its stated final maturity. As of October
31, 1996, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was
approximately 8.5 years.
The following information supplements the information found in
"Investment Principles and Risks" on page 67.
INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND seeks high current income by investing in U.S.
dollar-denominated investment-grade debt securities under normal
conditions. When consistent with its primary objective, the fund may
also seek capital appreciation. Although the fund can invest in
securities of any maturity, the fund normally maintains a
dollar-weighted average maturity between three and 10 years. In
determining a security's maturity for purposes of calculating the
fund's average maturity, an estimate of the average time for its
principal to be paid may be used. This can be substantially shorter
than its stated final maturity. As November 30, 1996, the fund's
dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 5.7 years.
In managing Intermediate Bond, FMR selects a benchmark index which is
representative of the portion of the bond market in which the fund
invests. FMR uses this benchmark index as a guide in structuring the
fund and selecting its investments. The benchmark index for
Intermediate Bond is the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index, a market value weighted benchmark of
government and corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities
between one and 10 years. FMR manages the fund to have a similar
overall interest rate risk to its Index.
The following information replaces similar information found under the
heading "High Income Municipal Fund" in "Investment Principles and
Risks" on page 68. 
MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND seeks high current income that is free from
federal income tax by investing primarily in investment-grade
municipal securities. FMR normally invests so that at least 80% of the
fund's assets is invested in municipal securities whose interest is
free from federal income tax. In addition, FMR may invest all of the
fund's assets in municipal securities issued to finance private
activities. The interest from these securities is a tax preference
item for the purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.
Although the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, FMR seeks
to manage the fund so that it generally reacts to changes in interest
rates similarly to municipal bonds with maturities between eight and
18 years. As of October 31, 1996, the fund's dollar-weighted average
maturity was approximately 16.4 years.
The following information replaces similar information found under the
heading "Debt Securities" in "Securities and Investment Practices" on
page 69. 
Each of Mortgage Securities, Short Fixed-Income, Municipal Income,
Intermediate Municipal Income, Short-Intermediate Municipal Income,
California Municipal Income, and New York Municipal Income normally
invests in investment-grade securities, but reserves the right to
invest up to 5% of its assets in below investment-grade securities. A
security is considered to be investment-grade if it is rated
investment-grade by Moody's, S&P, Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.
(Duff & Phelps), or Fitch Investors Service, L.P. (Fitch), or is
unrated but judged by FMR to be of equivalent quality.

than Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares. Contact your
investment professional to discuss if you qualify.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES THE FIRST PARAGRAPH UNDER THE
HEADING "TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS" IN THE "PERFORMANCE" SECTION ON
PAGE 68.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect
all aspects of a class's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in a class's
NAV over a stated period. A class's total return may be calculated by
using the performance data of a previously existing class prior to the
date that shares of a new class initially are issued, adjusted to
reflect differences in sales charges but not 12b-1 fees. Average
annual total returns are calculated by determining the growth or
decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in a class
over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded
percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate
of growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For
example, a cumulative total return of 100% over ten years would
produce an average annual total return of 7.18%, which is the steady
annual rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded
basis in ten years. Average annual total returns covering periods of
less than one year are calculated by determining a class's total
return for the period, extending that return for a full year (assuming
that return remains constant over the year), and quoting the result as
an annual return. While average annual total returns are a convenient
means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize
that a class's performance is not constant over time, but changes from
year to year, and that average annual total returns represent averaged
figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the
class.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in Class B of
Equity Growth on June 1, 1987, the net amount invested in Class B
shares was $10,000. The cost of the initial investment ($10,000)
together with the aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital
gain distributions for the period covered (their cash value at the
time they were reinvested) amounted to    $21,442    . If
distributions had not been reinvested, the amount of distributions
earned from the class over time would have been smaller, and cash
payments for the period would have amounted to $   567     for
dividends and    $8,010     for capital gain distributions. Initial
offering of Class B of Equity Growth took place on December 31, 1996.
Class B returns prior to December 31, 1996 through September 10, 1992
are those of Class T which reflect a 12b-1 of fee of 0.50% (0.65%
prior to January 1, 1996). Class B returns prior to September 10, 1992
are those of Institutional Class which has no 12b-1 fee. If Class B's
12b-1 fee had been reflected, total returns prior to December 31, 1996
would have been lower.
During the 10-year period ended May 31, 1997, a hypothetical $10,000
investment in Class C of Equity Growth would have grown to
   $56,199    .

January 1, 1996). Class C returns prior to September 10, 1992 are
those of Institutional Class which has no 12b-1 fee. If Class C's
12b-1 fee had been reflected, total returns prior to December 31, 1996
would have been lower.
During the 10-year period ended June 30, 1997, a hypothetical

have grown to $32,022.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 in
Institutional Class of Strategic Opportunities on July 1, 1987, the
net amount invested in Institutional Class shares was $10,000. The
cost of the initial investment ($10,000) together with the aggregate
cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions for the
period covered (their cash value at the time they were reinvested)
amounted to $24,585. If distributions had not been reinvested, the
amount of distributions earned from the class over time would have
been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have amounted to
$3,104 for dividends and $6,121 for capital gain distributions.
Initial offering of Institutional Class of Strategic Opportunities
took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class returns prior to July
3, 1995 are those of Initial Class which has no 12b-1 fee.
During the 10-year period ended April 30, 1997, a hypothetical $10,000
investment in Class B of Balanced would have grown to $   28,820.
