PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been some positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such 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, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate 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. Each performance figure
includes changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells stocks
that have grown in value).

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 December 29, 1987. For example, if you 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 Composite Index of 500 Stocks - a
common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the average
natural resources fund, which reflects the performance of 36 natural
resources funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services over the past six months. Both benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor Global Resources Fund - Class A on December 29, 1987, when the fund
started, and paid the maximum 4.75% sales charge. As the chart shows, by
April 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to $26,998 -
a 169.98% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $26,497 - a 164.97% increase.
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
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. Foreign
stocks involve greater risks, due
to political and economic
uncertainties. 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
An interview with Malcolm MacNaught, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor
Global Resources Fund
Q. MALCOLM, HOW HAS THE FUND
PERFORMED?
A. For the six and 12 months ended April 30, 1995, the fund had total
returns of 4.57% and 10.55%, respectively. During the same periods, the
average natural resources fund returned 0.10% and 6.28%, respectively, as
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND PERFORM BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. One reason for the fund's above-average performance was its energy
holdings, which accounted for about 24% of investments at the end of the
period. Throughout most of 1994, fuel prices remained weak because of warm
weather and excess inventories. A relatively cool summer and warm winter
kept a lid on demand. At the same time, inventories were high so supply was
ample. Low energy prices kept energy stock prices depressed during the
fourth quarter of last year. I used that period of weakness to buy more
natural gas stocks, adding names like Burlington Resources. Recently oil
and gas inventories fell, prices rose, and energy stocks generally
improved. Another reason for the improvement in prices was the switching by
industrial and commercial users to natural gas because of its cheapness
relative to oil.
Q. WHERE ELSE ARE YOU FINDING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE ENERGY SECTOR?
A. In companies that have developed new technologies to improve their
chances of finding new oil fields and can re-evaluate older fields for
possible new drilling sites. These new technologies have dramatically
improved the chances of finding oil and gas at reduced costs.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR ENERGY COMPANIES FOR THE REMAINDER OF 1995?
A. Over the next six months, I believe that oil prices could remain firm as
the global economic recovery continues. What's more, developing economies
continue to place more demands on the world's energy reserves and
production. If we have a normal summer and winter, in terms of energy
usage, oil and gas prices could be better in 1995 than they were in 1994.
Q. HOW DID GOLD STOCKS FARE DURING THE PERIOD?
A. As the price of that precious metal went higher, many of the fund's gold
stocks rose roughly 15% from their 1994 lows. Barrick Gold Corp., one of
the fund's largest holdings, acquired Lac Minerals, making it an even more
attractive investment than it was before. I think Barrick Gold Corp. can
double its production over the next few years.
Q. WHAT ABOUT BASIC INDUSTRIES LIKE ALUMINUM AND PAPER?
A. Aluminum stocks did better as that metal's price moved to near
historical highs. Economic improvement translated into higher demand for
aluminum. Also, aluminum is becoming an increasingly larger component of
automobile engines and structural car parts, which also fueled additional
demand. Paper and forest companies, which made up 5.8% of the fund's
investments at the end of the period, also did well as paper prices rose.
Intermediate papers, or white, coated papers, were especially attractive
because demand continues to rise while supply remains fairly flat.
Q. YOU'VE REDUCED THE FUND'S STAKE IN DRUG STOCKS. WHAT'S YOUR REASONING
BEHIND THAT?
A. In general, drug stock prices rose in the second half of 1994, so I
locked in profits by selling some of these companies, and found
opportunities with technology and pollution control companies. Technology
stocks, which made up 4.7% of investments at the end of the period, are
experiencing stronger-than-expected earnings. That has helped holdings like
IBM and Texas Instruments. Meanwhile, pollution control companies such as
United Waste Systems and Browning-Ferris Industries benefited from
improving volume and prices. As a result, these types of companies could
grow earnings between 15% and 25% in 1995.
Q. WHILE THE FUND PERFORMED WELL,
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME
DISAPPOINTMENTS . . .
A. Sure. In hindsight, I could have had more of the fund in
non-commodity-driven, or non-natural resource stocks like technology stocks
and financial stocks. However, investors tend to choose natural resource
funds as inflation hedges and should expect the fund's performance to
reflect conditions in the natural resources market. The fund has the
flexibility to invest some of its assets outside the natural resources
sector when I feel market conditions warrant.
Q. WHAT WILL YOUR STRATEGY BE OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. The stock market generally seems to be fairly priced right now, meaning
that stocks aren't too expensive or too cheap relative to their underlying
value. Stocks that are interest rate-sensitive - like lumber and cement -
may be interesting buys during the summer if rates come down, which I
believe they will. My reasoning is that lower interest rates could ignite
housing starts and other types of building. As always, I'll stick with
well-managed companies that have above-average revenue growth and the
ability to grow earnings.

MALCOLM MACNAUGHT ON
OVERSEAS OPPORTUNITIES:
"With many foreign
economies currently in a
recovery stage, or on the
verge of one, I'm paying
particular attention to
companies with a large
percentage of their business
stemming from sales in
overseas markets. Scott
Paper, for instance, recently
launched a worldwide
marketing program that
should boost its overseas
earnings. Another example is
Tambrands, whose women's
personal hygiene products
are gaining wider acceptance
across the globe. Looking
ahead, global companies
could have better
performance than companies
with only domestic exposure
because of the cheapness of
the U.S. dollar. The United
States is the lowest-cost
producer of many products
and services."

For the period ended April 30, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Global Resources Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Advisor Series V (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 (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which quotations are readily available
are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid
price in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.
Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not
readily available are valued primarily using dealer- supplied valuations or
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date 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 forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes 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. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between 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 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 and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated net investment loss and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency
transactions may include temporary book and tax basis differences 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.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY
CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities and to manage the fund's currency
exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to
foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the fund's
investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a contract to buy or sell
can offset a previous contract. 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 forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
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
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of
purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $178,308,504 and $165,625,332, 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 .2700% to .5200% for the period. 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 annual individual fund fee rate is .45%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .77%
of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the
fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee that is based on an annual rate of .65% of its
average net assets. For the period, the fund paid $644,960 of which
$496,062 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder
support services.
SALES LOAD. FDC received sales charges for selling shares of the fund. The
sales charge rates ranged from 2.00% to 4.75% based on purchase amounts of
less than $1,000,000. Purchase amounts of $1,000,000 or more are not
charged a sales load. For the period, FDC received $1,368,286 of which
$1,153,361 was paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial
institutions.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSB) is the
transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for the fund.
SSB has an arrangement for certain transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing to be performed by Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR. During the period November
1, 1994 to
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
December 31, 1994, the fund paid fees based on the type, size, number of
accounts and the number of transactions made by shareholders. Effective
January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised transfer agent
contract pursuant to which the fund pays account fees and asset-based fees
that vary according to account size and type of account.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $488,021 for the period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $3,679,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 6.4375%.
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
$24,944 under this arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one
can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your
investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate 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 includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at income to measure performance.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain expenses, the past 5 years and life
of fund total return figures would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on September 16, 1987. 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 Class A's returns
to those of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad gauge of the
municipal bond market. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the average high-yield municipal
bond fund, which reflects the performance of 38 high-yield municipal bond
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over
the past six months. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges. Comparing
Class A's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how the
class did compared to inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month end
closest to the fund's start date.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor High Income Municipal Fund - Class A on September 30, 1987, shortly
after the fund started, and paid the maximum 4.75% sales charge. As the
chart shows, by April 30, 1995, the value of your investment would have
grown to $19,246 - a 92.46% increase on your initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond index did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $19,058 - a 90.58% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return, and yield
of a fund that invests in
bonds 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.

class. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by the
class to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
class' share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested and exclude the effects of sales charges.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average net asset value of $11.63
over the past month, $11.26 over the past six months and $11.45 over the
past year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure, which includes the effect of Class A's maximum 4.75% sales charge
in its offering price, shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's
investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from
different companies on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what
you would have to earn on a taxable investment to equal the class' tax-free
yield, if you're in the 31% combined federal tax bracket.
ADVISOR HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate 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 includes
changes in share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and
capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at income to measure performance.
On June 30, 1994, the fund began offering Class B shares. All performance
information for Class B prior to June 30, 1994 reflects the performance of
Class A and therefore does not reflect different Class B 12b-1 fee and
transfer agent fee arrangements (see Notes to the Financial Statements),
which, if included, would have lowered Class B's performance. Also, if
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain Class A expenses, the past 5 years and
life of fund total return figures would have been lower. Class B's
contingent deferred sales charges included in the past 6 months, past 1
year, past 5 years and life of fund total return figures are 4%, 4%, 1% and
0%, respectively.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor High Income Municipal Fund - Class B on September 30, 1987, shortly
after the fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1995, the value of
your investment would have grown to $20,017 - a 100.17% increase on your
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $19,058 - a 90.58% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return, and yield of
a fund that invests in bonds
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.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a class'
total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the
class. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by the
class to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
class' share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested and exclude the effects of sales charges.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set period. The
annualized dividend rate is based on an average net asset value of $11.62
over the past month, $11.27 over the past six months, and $11.40 over the
life of Class. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all
funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past
30 days. This figure, which excludes the effect of Class B's contingent
deferred sales charge, shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's
investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from
different companies on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what
you would have to earn on a taxable investment to equal the class' tax-free
yield, if you're in the 31% combined federal tax bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Guy Wickwire, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor High
Income Municipal Fund
Q. GUY, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the six months ended April 30, 1995, the fund's Class A and Class B
shares had total returns of 6.14% and 5.65%, respectively. Those compared
to the average high-yield municipal bond fund's return of 6.60% for the
same period, as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. For the 12-month
period ended April 30, 1995, the fund's Class A and B shares returned 4.89%
and 3.91%, respectively, compared to the average high-yield municipal bond
fund's return of 6.06%, again as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. HASN'T THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET BEEN UNUSUALLY STRONG OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Yes, in fact the municipal bond market enjoyed one of its strongest
rallies of the decade during the past six months. The market was
particularly strong during the first quarter of 1995 and municipals topped
the charts as the best performing fixed-income category in that period.
After hitting their lows last November, municipal bond prices steadily
improved as investors perceived that the threat of higher interest rates
was slowly fading. However, in the last few weeks of April, the municipal
market gave back some its earlier gains. Investors were worried that some
elements contained in tax reform proposals might reduce the appeal of
municipal bonds.
Q. WHILE THE FUND TURNED IN STRONG PERFORMANCE, IT SLIGHTLY UNDERPERFORMED
THE AVERAGE HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL FUND. WHY?
A. Michigan Healthcare - a Michigan hospital, which represents less than 1%
of the fund's net assets at the end of the period - filed Chapter 11
bankruptcy during the period. As a result, the holding detracted from the
fund's performance. An independent pricing service, in determining the
current price of these bonds, has already taken into account this credit
development. Fidelity is dedicating significant resources in an effort to
maximize shareholder value.
Q. WHAT STRATEGIES WORKED WELL DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. From November through the end of February, the fund's duration - which
is a measure of its sensitivity to changes in interest rates - was
relatively long. The longer a fund's duration, the more sensitive its share
price is to interest rate changes. When bond yields were falling, as they
were during that period, having a longer duration helped the fund's
performance. However, I've used some of the market's recent strength to
reduce the fund's duration to a more neutral stance. In my view, it is
unclear which way interest rates go from here, so I'm inclined to maintain
that neutral duration. Also, I've continued to focus on maintaining and
enhancing the fund's income, which has helped its total return. Looking
ahead, if rates stabilize, bond prices probably won't appreciate as much as
they have in recent months. And if interest rates rise, municipal bond
prices could drop. In either of those situations, yield is probably going
to be a more important determinant of total return.
Q. TO WHAT SECTORS HAVE YOU LOOKED TO FIND HIGHER INCOME?
A. Health care bonds, which made up the fund's largest sector concentration
at 30.9% of investments at the end of the period, are one place I've found
attractive levels of income. I bought many of these bonds after President
Clinton abandoned his health care reform package and their prices were
cheap. Since then, this sector has generally done quite well. As always, I
work with Fidelity's research staff to identify opportunities that have
stable or improving prospects.
Q. WERE INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS - WHICH MADE UP THE FUND'S SECOND LARGEST
SECTOR CONCENTRATION AT 20.9% OF INVESTMENTS - ALSO ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE OF
THEIR HIGH INCOME?
A. Yes, industrial development bonds - which are primarily used by many
private sector companies to fund their pollution control programs - tend to
offer attractive yields. So far in 1995, there has been a relatively low
supply of new municipal bonds issued and demand is quite strong. That's
made it more difficult to find new high-yielding opportunities. But I did
add a few new issues in the industrial revenue bond sector. In general,
however, I added to existing holdings I like rather than purchasing new
issues.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS?
A. I choose a specific bond based on how attractive it is from the
standpoint of price, maturity structure, credit quality, yield and other
factors. Supply and demand within a given state can be another important
consideration. I generally try to purchase bonds I like when supply is
heavy and, as a result, prices are relatively cheap. I also emphasize bonds
from states with high state income taxes. Demand for these bonds - which
are exempt from state taxes - tends to remain relatively strong. As a
result, the fund's top five states - Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York,
California and Connecticut - made up roughly 44% of the fund's investments
at the end of the period.
Q. YOU'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THAT YOU DON'T THINK YIELDS WILL FALL MUCH FROM
CURRENT LEVELS. BUT WHAT OTHER FACTORS DO YOU THINK WILL INFLUENCE THE BOND
MARKET GOING FORWARD?
A. As I mentioned earlier, the threat of tax reform has confused the
municipal bond market, and that confusion could hang around for awhile.
Politicians don't plan to debate this issue until 1996, with legislation
arriving in 1997 at the earliest. Even though this whole issue is a long
way off, it is bothering municipals now. But bear in mind that municipal
bonds - after their decline in the last several weeks of the period - are
more attractively priced now than they were during the rally.

MALCOLM MACNAUGHT ON
OVERSEAS OPPORTUNITIES:
"With many foreign
economies currently in a
recovery stage, or on the
verge of one, I'm paying
particular attention to
companies with a large
percentage of their business
stemming from sales in
overseas markets. Scott
Paper, for instance, recently
launched a worldwide
marketing program that
should boost its overseas
earnings. Another example is
Tambrands, whose women's
personal hygiene products
are gaining wider acceptance
across the globe. Looking
ahead, global companies
could have better
performance than companies
with only domestic exposure
because of the cheapness of
the U.S. dollar. The United
States is the lowest-cost
producer of many products
and services."
(solid bullet) Basic industry companies
made up the fund's largest

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor High Income Municipal Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Advisor Series V (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 (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A and Class B shares, each of which has equal rights
as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to its distribution plan. The fund commenced sale of Class B
shares on June 30, 1994. Interest income, realized and unrealized capital
gains and losses, and the common expenses of the fund are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class
to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares differs in its
respective distribution, transfer agent, registration, and certain other
class-specific fees and expenses.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available through the pricing service are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends are declared
separately for each class, while capital gain distributions are declared at
the fund level and allocated to each class on a pro rata basis based on the
number of shares held by each class 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 futures
and options transactions and market discount.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net realized gain (loss) on
investments 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS.
The fund may use futures and options contracts to manage its exposure to
the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures,
writing puts, and buying calls tend to increase the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend
to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge
other fund investments. The underlying face amount at value 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, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or
if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale,
the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using
dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $104,874,971 and $100,984,049, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $297,975,348 and $288,741,244, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (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

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
ranged from .1200% to .3700% for the period. 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 annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. For the
period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .41% of
average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with respect to
the fund's Class A shares ("Class A Plan") and Class B shares ("Class B
Plan"), pursuant to which the fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation
(FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and service fee. This fee is
based on annual rates of .25% and 1.00% (of which .75% represents a
distribution fee and .25% represents a shareholder service fee) of the
average net assets of the Class A and Class B shares, respectively. For the
period, the fund paid FDC $666,229 and $79,623 under the Class A Plan and
Class B Plan, respectively, of which $658,079 and $19,940 were paid to
securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of Class A and Class B shares, and providing shareholder
support services.
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plans also authorize payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. No payments were made under the Plans during
the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $1,142,633 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which
$976,179 was paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions. FDC also receives the proceeds of a contingent deferred sales
charge levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within five years of
purchase. The charge is based on declining rates which range from 4% to 1%
of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested dividends
and capital gains. For the period, FDC received contingent deferred sales
charges of $8,067 on Class B share redemptions from the fund. When Class B
shares are sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to dealers
through which the sales are made.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the custodian, transfer agent,
and shareholder servicing agent for the fund's Class A and Class B shares.
UMB has entered into sub-arrangements with State Street Bank and Trust
Company (State Street) and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, to perform

TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent
functions for the Class A and Class B shares, respectively. During the
period November 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, State Street and FIIOC
received fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of
transactions made by shareholders of the respective classes of the fund.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised
transfer agent contract pursuant to which State Street and FIIOC receive
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size
and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the
fund. All fees are paid to State Street and FIIOC by UMB, which is
reimbursed by the fund for such payments. FIIOC pays for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
UMB also has a sub-contract with Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate
of FMR, under which FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses. For the period, FSC received accounting fees amounting to
$112,225.
