PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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. A class' 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 class expenses,
the past five years and life of fund total returns would have been lower.
Effective January 1, 1996, the maximum 4.75% sales charge on Class A shares
was reduced to 3.50%.

High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average   1.06%    6.91%    42.21%   n/a       
 
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, which reflects the
performance of the investment-grade municipal bond market. To measure how
Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the high-yield municipal debt funds average, which reflects the performance
of 44 high-yield municipal debt 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.

$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 current maximum 3.50% sales charge. As
the chart shows, by April 30, 1996, the value of your investment would have
grown to $20,792 - a 107.92% 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 $20,567 - a 105.67% 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, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

</TABLE>
 
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, $11.94 over the past six months and $11.85 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 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 offering share price used in the calculation of the
yield includes the effect of Class A's current maximum 3.50% sales charge.
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 36% federal
tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal alternative
minimum tax, if applicable.
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. A class' 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. The initial offering of Class B shares took place on
June 30, 1994. Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1/shareholder service fee
(1.00% prior to January 1, 1996.) Returns prior to June 30, 1994 are those
of Class A, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class A's 0.25%
12b-1 fee. Had Class B's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to June
30, 1994 would have been lower. Class B's contingent deferred sales charges
included in the past six months, past  one year, past five years and life
of fund total return figures are 4%, 4%, 1% and 0%, respectively. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past one year, past
five years and life of fund total returns and dividends would have been
lower.

</TABLE> 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B'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 B's returns
to those of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the
performance of the investment-grade municipal bond market. To measure how
Class B's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the high-yield municipal debt funds average, which reflects the performance
of 44 high-yield municipal debt 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.

$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, 1996, the value of
your investment would have grown to $21,191 - a 111.91% 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 $20,567 - a 105.67% 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' share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested, if any, 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 $11.61
over the past month, $11.92 over the past six months, and $11.82 over the
past year. 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 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 offering share price used in the
calculation of the yield excludes the effect of Class B's contingent
deferred sales charge. 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 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the
federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Tanya Roy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor High
Income Municipal Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TANYA?
A. As of April 30, 1996, the fund's Class A and Class B shares had a total
return of 0.60% and 0.26%, respectively, for the past six months and 6.63%
and 5.88%, respectively, for the past year. For the same periods, the
Lipper high-yield municipal debt funds average was 1.06% and 6.91%,
respectively. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
returned 1.11% for the past six months and 7.95% for the past year.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM ITS PEERS?
A. The fund's performance was hurt by its interest in the Ford Heights,
Illinois incinerator project. In March, the governor of Illinois signed a
bill that repealed a tax subsidy supporting three incinerator projects in
the state, including Ford Heights. Ford Heights later entered bankruptcy
proceedings. Fidelity is currently devoting significant efforts to maximize
shareholder value.
Q. LOOKING AT THE GENERAL MARKET, WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Bond prices have fallen and their yields have risen in response to
reports indicating surprising strength in the economy. Investors often
worry that a strong economy indicates the potential for inflation, which
erodes the value of fixed-income investments. For the municipal bond
market, however, performance relative to the U.S. Treasury market has been
favorable because of fading fears of radical tax reform and healthy demand
from certain market participants, including insurance companies. To get a
sense of relative performance, it's worth examining the ratio of municipal
yields to Treasury yields - expressed in percentage terms. A move from a
higher percentage (where municipals are less expensive) to a lower
percentage (where municipals are more expensive) indicates municipal bonds
have outperformed Treasuries. Six months ago, the ratio for 30-year bonds
stood at about 88%; today, it stands at about 82%. 
Q. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. It has performed relatively well. The difference in yield - or spread -
between high-yield and investment-grade municipal bonds has tightened,
illustrating good relative performance. A combination of factors has led to
the relative outperformance of high-yield versus investment-grade bonds.
First, high yield bonds tend to be less interest rate sensitive than higher
quality municipals. Therefore, during the period, their yields rose and
their prices declined less than the yields and prices of investment-grade
bonds. Second, new issuance was relatively muted in the high-yield sector,
leading to more demand than supply. Finally, we saw improved financial
performance in some sectors of the high-yield universe, which helped the
bonds' relative performance. 
Q. WERE THERE ANY AREAS OF THE HIGH-YIELD MARKET THAT DID NOT PERFORM WELL?
A. One sector that underperformed recently was resource recovery projects
involved in recycling paper into pulp. Pulp and paper prices fell
dramatically in the past six months, which led to reduced financial
flexibility for some of these projects. As a result, many resource recovery
bonds issued to finance construction and start-up operations came under
pressure in the market and their prices declined more than the overall
high-yield market. 
Q. WHAT ABOUT HOSPITAL BONDS?
A. Hospital bonds have performed in line with the general market. We
continued to see a wide range of credit developments, which reflects the
ongoing changes in the industry. One positive situation for the fund
involved Denver hospital HealthOne, which enjoyed strong gains when it
announced a merger. Subsequently, in what is known as a tender offer, the
issuer offered to exchange existing bonds for cash or new securities. 
Q. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE FUND'S ASSET ALLOCATION BY MATURITY?
A. The increase in the fund's holdings in the 10- to 15- year maturity area
reflects a modest reallocation to better match the interest rate
sensitivity of the fund's benchmark index.
Q. TANYA, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE A CHANGE IN THE FUND'S
INVESTMENT POLICIES . . .
A. Yes, there will. As  of June 24, the fund will adopt a policy that
limits  its investments in defaulted securities to 10%. Previously, the
fund had no limit on its ability to invest in defaulted securities. We
believe a 10% limit - bringing the fund in line with the quality policies
of Fidelity's other aggressive municipal funds - will provide the fund with
sufficient flexibility to invest in these types  of securities.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The issue of tax reform - while faded from view at the moment - is not
dead and will probably receive renewed attention as this presidential
election year progresses. Should tax reform emerge as an issue in the
presidential campaign, it could lead to the underperformance of municipals
relative to Treasuries - similar to what occurred last year. High-yield
municipals, however, should continue to perform well given the relative
strength of the economy and the limited amount of bond issuance. I also
continue to believe that municipal bonds represent an attractive investment
choice in the context of a diversified portfolio.

TANYA ROY ON SUPPLY 
AND DEMAND IN THE MUNICIPAL 
MARKET:
"Supply and demand forces 
play an influential role in the 
municipal market. Supply comes 
in two forms: new bond sales 
and refinancings (also called 
refundings), in which issuers 
typically replace existing bonds 
with lower-cost debt. The 
outlook for refunding volume is 
highly sensitive to interest rate 
levels and, therefore, is difficult 
to predict. The modest growth 
in new debt sales we've seen so 
far in 1996 reflects several 
trends: tighter fiscal 
management by municipal 
governments; industry 
consolidation, particularly among 
hospitals and electric utilities; 
and heightened sensitivity of 
taxpayers to government 
costs. The continuation of these 
trends could mean a relatively 
small increase in new issuance 
for the remainder of the year, 
although we could see brief 
periods of concentrated supply.
"Demand is derived from 
individuals, mutual funds, 
insurance companies, banks 
and other sources, and changes 
depending on circumstances. 
For example, individual investor 
demand generally decreases 
when interest rates are low, or 
when other investments, such 
as stocks, provide competitive 
returns. Higher interest rates or 
a correction in the stock market 
could bring higher demand for 
municipals. However, the 
ongoing issue of tax reform - 
which has caused some 
investors to worry that 
municipals could lose their 
tax-free advantage - could be 
an offsetting factor."

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, Class B, and Institutional Class 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. Investment
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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit 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 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 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."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
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.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears all
organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying each class
and shares of each class for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are borne by each class and amortized over
one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
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 undistributed net realized gain
(loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences
that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable 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.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract. 
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. 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 
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS - CONTINUED
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 $172,171,849 and $157,956,389, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $10,614,088 and $6,494,741, 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 .1100% 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 .40%
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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively referred to as "the Plans").
Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, the fund pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and
service fee. For the period November 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995, this fee
was 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.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a revised Class B
distribution plan, under which the fee is based on an annual rate of .90%
(of which .65% represents a distribution fee and .25% represents a
shareholder service fee) of the average net assets of the Class B shares.
For the period, the fund 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
paid FDC $705,132 and $156,842 under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan,
respectively, of which $705,132 and $44,714 were paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution of
Class A and Class B shares, respectively, and providing shareholder support
services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
SALES LOAD. For the period November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, FDC
received a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares
of the fund. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class A sales charge. Under the revised arrangement, FDC receives a
front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for selling Class A shares of the
fund. For the period, FDC received sales charges of $682,650 on sales of
Class A shares of the fund, of which $572,579 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 $41,339 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 AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the custodian,
transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the fund's Class A,
Class B, and Institutional shares. UMB has entered into sub-arrangements
with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) with respect to the
Class A shares, and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect to the Class B and Institutional
shares, to perform the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder
servicing agent functions. 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 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for
the month plus out-of-pocket expenses. For the period, the transfer agent
fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .18%, .18%, and .27% of
average net assets for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class,
respectively.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) above the
following annual rates of average net assets for each class.
(I) CLASS A. For the period, this expense limitation was 1.00% of average
net assets.
(II) CLASS B. Effective January 1, 1996, the expense limitation changed
from an annual rate of 1.75% to 1.65% of average net assets.
(III) INSTITUTIONAL CLASS. For the period, this expense limitation was .75%
of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $23,864.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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 - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
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. A class' 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. The initial offering of Institutional Class shares
took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible
investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3, 1995
are those of Class A, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class A's
0.25% 12b-1 fee. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the
past six months, past one year, past five years and life of fund total
returns and dividends would have been lower.

High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average   1.06%    6.91%    42.21%   n/a       
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' 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
Institutional Class' returns to those of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index, which reflects the performance of the investment-grade municipal
bond market. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up
against its peers, you can compare it to the high-yield municipal debt
funds average, which reflects the performance of 44 high-yield municipal
debt funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services
over the past six months. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Advisor High Income Municipal Fund - Institutional Class on September 30,
1987, shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30,
1996, the value of your investment would have grown to $21,585 - a 115.85%
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 $20,567 - a 105.67%
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.

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, $11.94 over the past six months, and $11.86 over the
life of Class, 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 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. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses
during the periods shown, the yield would have been 4.62%. 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 36% federal
tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal alternative
minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Tanya Roy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor High
Income Municipal Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TANYA?
A. As of April 30, 1996, the fund's Institutional Class shares had a total
return of 0.72% for the past six months and 6.82% for the past year. For
the same periods, the Lipper high-yield municipal debt funds average was
1.06% and 6.91%, respectively. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index returned 1.11% for the past six months and 7.95% for the past
year. 
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM ITS PEERS?
A. The fund's performance was hurt by its interest in the Ford Heights,
Illinois incinerator project. In March, the governor of Illinois signed a
bill that repealed a tax subsidy supporting three incinerator projects in
the state, including Ford Heights. Ford Heights later entered bankruptcy
proceedings. Fidelity is currently devoting significant efforts to maximize
shareholder value.
Q. LOOKING AT THE GENERAL MARKET, WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Bond prices have fallen and their yields have risen in response to
reports indicating surprising strength in the economy. Investors often
worry that a strong economy indicates the potential for inflation, which
erodes the value of fixed-income investments. For the municipal bond
market, however, performance relative to the U.S. Treasury market has been
favorable because of fading fears of radical tax reform and healthy demand
from certain market participants, including insurance companies. To get a
sense of relative performance, it's worth examining the ratio of municipal
yields to Treasury yields - expressed in percentage terms. A move from a
higher percentage (where municipals are less expensive) to a lower
percentage (where municipals are more expensive) indicates municipal bonds
have outperformed Treasuries. Six months ago, the ratio for 30-year bonds
stood at about 88%; today, it stands at about 82%. 
Q. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. It has performed relatively well. The difference in yield - or spread -
between high-yield and investment-grade municipal bonds has tightened,
illustrating good relative performance. A combination of factors has led to
the relative outperformance of high-yield versus investment-grade bonds.
First, high yield bonds tend to be less interest rate sensitive than higher
quality municipals. Therefore, during the period, their yields rose and
their prices declined less than the yields and prices of investment-grade
bonds. Second, new issuance was relatively muted in the high-yield sector,
leading to more demand than supply. Finally, we saw improved financial
performance in some sectors of the high-yield universe, which helped the
bonds' relative performance. 
Q. WERE THERE ANY AREAS OF THE HIGH-YIELD MARKET THAT DID NOT PERFORM WELL?
A. One sector that underperformed recently was resource recovery projects
involved in recycling paper into pulp. Pulp and paper prices fell
dramatically in the past six months, which led to reduced financial
flexibility for some of these projects. As a result, many resource recovery
bonds issued to finance construction and start-up operations came under
pressure in the market and their prices declined more than the overall
high-yield market. 
Q. WHAT ABOUT HOSPITAL BONDS?
A. Hospital bonds have performed in line with the general market. We
continued to see a wide range of credit developments, which reflects the
ongoing changes in the industry. One positive situation for the fund
involved Denver hospital HealthOne, which enjoyed strong gains when it
announced a merger. Subsequently, in what is known as a tender offer, the
issuer offered to exchange existing bonds for cash or new securities. 
Q. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE FUND'S ASSET ALLOCATION BY MATURITY?
A. The increase in the fund's holdings in the 10- to 15- year maturity area
reflects a modest reallocation to better match the interest rate
sensitivity of the fund's benchmark index.
Q. TANYA, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE A CHANGE IN THE FUND'S
INVESTMENT POLICIES . . .
A. Yes, there will. As  of June 24, the fund will adopt a policy that
limits  its investments in defaulted securities to 10%. Previously, the
fund had no limit on its ability to invest in defaulted securities. We
believe a 10% limit - bringing the fund in line with the quality policies
of Fidelity's other aggressive municipal funds - will provide the fund with
sufficient flexibility to invest in these types  of securities.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The issue of tax reform - while faded from view at the moment - is not
dead and will probably receive renewed attention as this presidential
election year progresses. Should tax reform emerge as an issue in the
presidential campaign, it could lead to the underperformance of municipals
relative to Treasuries - similar to what occurred last year. High-yield
municipals, however, should continue to perform well given the relative
strength of the economy and the limited amount of bond issuance. I also
continue to believe that municipal bonds represent an attractive investment
choice in the context of a diversified portfolio.

TANYA ROY ON SUPPLY 
AND DEMAND IN THE MUNICIPAL 
MARKET:
"Supply and demand forces 
play an influential role in the 
municipal market. Supply comes 
in two forms: new bond sales 
and refinancings (also called 
refundings), in which issuers 
typically replace existing bonds 
with lower-cost debt. The 
outlook for refunding volume is 
highly sensitive to interest rate 
levels and, therefore, is difficult 
to predict. The modest growth 
in new debt sales we've seen so 
far in 1996 reflects several 
trends: tighter fiscal 
management by municipal 
governments; industry 
consolidation, particularly among 
hospitals and electric utilities; 
and heightened sensitivity of 
taxpayers to government 
costs. The continuation of these 
trends could mean a relatively 
small increase in new issuance 
for the remainder of the year, 
although we could see brief 
periods of concentrated supply.
"Demand is derived from 
individuals, mutual funds, 
insurance companies, banks 
and other sources, and changes 
depending on circumstances. 
For example, individual investor 
demand generally decreases 
when interest rates are low, or 
when other investments, such 
as stocks, provide competitive 
returns. Higher interest rates or 
a correction in the stock market 
could bring higher demand for 
municipals. However, the 
ongoing issue of tax reform - 
which has caused some 
investors to worry that 
municipals could lose their 
tax-free advantage - could be 
an offsetting factor."

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, Class B, and Institutional Class 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. Investment
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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit 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 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 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."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
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.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears all
organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying each class
and shares of each class for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are borne by each class and amortized over
one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
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 undistributed net realized gain
(loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences
that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable 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.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract. 
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. 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 
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS - CONTINUED
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 $172,171,849 and $157,956,389, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $10,614,088 and $6,494,741, 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 .1100% 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 .40%
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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively referred to as "the Plans").
Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, the fund pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and
service fee. For the period November 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995, this fee
was 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.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a revised Class B
distribution plan, under which the fee is based on an annual rate of .90%
(of which .65% represents a distribution fee and .25% represents a
shareholder service fee) of the average net assets of the Class B shares.
For the period, the fund 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED
paid FDC $705,132 and $156,842 under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan,
respectively, of which $705,132 and $44,714 were paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution of
Class A and Class B shares, respectively, and providing shareholder support
services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
SALES LOAD. For the period November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, FDC
received a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares
of the fund. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class A sales charge. Under the revised arrangement, FDC receives a
front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for selling Class A shares of the
fund. For the period, FDC received sales charges of $682,650 on sales of
Class A shares of the fund, of which $572,579 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 $41,339 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 AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the custodian,
transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the fund's Class A,
Class B, and Institutional shares. UMB has entered into sub-arrangements
with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) with respect to the
Class A shares, and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect to the Class B and Institutional
shares, to perform the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder
servicing agent functions. 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 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for
the month plus out-of-pocket expenses. For the period, the transfer agent
fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .18%, .18%, and .27% of
average net assets for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class,
respectively.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) above the
following annual rates of average net assets for each class.
(I) CLASS A. For the period, this expense limitation was 1.00% of average
net assets.
(II) CLASS B. Effective January 1, 1996, the expense limitation changed
from an annual rate of 1.75% to 1.65% of average net assets.
(III) INSTITUTIONAL CLASS. For the period, this expense limitation was .75%
of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $23,864.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used
to offset a portion of the class' expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian fees were reduced by $2,168 under the custodian arrangement and
Class A expenses were reduced by $1,760 under the transfer agent
arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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 CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL INCOME 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. A class' 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 the class'
income to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain Class
A expenses during the period shown, the total return and dividends would
have been lower.

                                                           FUND

A (incl. max. 3.50% sales charge)                          -6.07%    
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on February 20,
1996. 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.
Once the fund has a longer record, you can compare Class A's returns to the
Lehman Brothers California Municipal Bond Index, which includes California
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of at least one year. You
may also want to look at the performance of the California municipal debt
funds average as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. They will appear in
the fund's next report six months from now. 
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS will appear once the fund is a year old, and the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 INVESTMENT in the fund will appear in the
fund's next report six months from now.
 
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, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Jonathan Short, Portfolio Manager of Advisor California
Municipal Income Fund
Q. JON, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. This fund was introduced on February 20, 1996. Fidelity generally looks
at performance for six- or 12-month periods. For this report, we will look
at performance since inception. For the period ended April 30, 1996, the
total returns for Class A and Class B were -2.67% and -2.84%, respectively.
In the next report, we will compare the fund's performance to that of its
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers California Municipal Bond Index, as well as
the Lipper California municipal debt funds average.
Q. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WAY YOU'VE STRUCTURED THE FUND SO FAR . . .
A. Sure. Since the fund began, I've made a conscious effort to position the
fund all along the yield curve and to purchase non-callable bonds. I have
been targeting non-callable bonds because I believe that they have total
return characteristics that are more attractive than those of callable
bonds, whose upside potential can be limited. I have also been able to buy
a number of BBB-rated issues that I felt offered attractive yields for
their credit risk.
Q. THE FUND STARTED AT A PRETTY VOLATILE TIME IN THE MUNICIPAL MARKET. WHAT
EFFECT DID THAT HAVE ON YOUR BUYING?
A. In early March of this year, an employment report came out showing that
job growth for February far exceeded most expectations. The bond market
took quite a tumble - Treasury futures closed down three points that day -
and it's been struggling to recover. Municipals, however, have outperformed
Treasuries during this period and, though both markets have had negative
returns, munis have done better than Treasuries on a relative basis. For
the fund, this market has for the most part created an opportunity to buy
bonds that other investors were selling.
Q. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. One of the few disappointments I had over the period involved a hospital
issue that our analysts felt strongly positive about. I was only able to
buy a small amount of that issue, not nearly as much as I wanted. Some good
credit news regarding the bonds came out afterward, and I just wasn't able
to take as much advantage of the opportunity as I would have liked.
Q. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA'S CREDIT STATUS?
A. Well, first let's back up a little bit. Since the harsh recession of
1992-93, California has undergone a major structural change. The state has
shifted from a defense- and aerospace-focused economy to one driven by high
tech, tourism and entertainment. This past year was a real turning point,
as the deficit the state had accumulated in the early 1990s was finally
erased. In fact, for the fiscal year ending June 30, the state is
projecting that revenues will come in roughly $1 billion ahead of budget.
That said, there's still much work to do to ensure that the state maintains
its improved fiscal condition. Rather than letting this year's surplus bail
it out of making significant changes in its fiscal management, the state
needs to continue to make intelligent budget decisions. If it does make
those tough choices, California may be able to continue to enhance its
credit standing.
Q. WHAT SPECIFIC AREAS ARE YOU FOCUSING ON WITHIN THE STATE MUNICIPAL
MARKET?
A. I've been buying a fair amount of general obligation, state-issued debt,
since I view the state's credit as improving. The state was recently
upgraded by Fitch Investor Service to A+ from A, and its obligations are
trading well in the marketplace. As I noted earlier, I have also tried to
add some exposure to BBB-rated securities. There have been a few situations
where our research staff has identified opportunities to receive an
attractive yield for the credit risk we have taken on.
Q. PROBABLY THE TWO MOST NOTED COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA ARE ORANGE AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTIES. WHAT'S YOUR EXPOSURE THERE?
A. I don't own any direct obligations of Orange County. Los Angeles County
is an interesting story. I'd like to see a balanced budget this year that
doesn't rely on the "one-shots" that it's used in the past, such as selling
county assets. I think a more sound approach would involve consolidating
some of the agencies within the county, creating better relationships with
the labor unions and overhauling the massive county hospital system. More
broadly, it needs to take a hard look at what its resources are and what it
can do to gain some efficiencies in serving its constituents. The fund has
one direct obligation of Los Angeles County, a zero coupon bond that
represents less than 1% of the fund's assets. 
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS?
A. Overall, I'd have to say I feel very positive about the state, as I
think the California economy is going to outperform the nation in both 1996
and 1997. This strong economy should pass through to state and local
governments in the form of higher revenues and, hopefully, improved credit
quality. The state is now entering its budget season and the final budget
that's adopted will be an important indication of the direction the state
will take. Overall, I feel the state is taking a conservative view toward
revenues while remaining relatively tough on expenditures, and there's a
general sense of optimism that California is on the right track.
Q. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES IN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT
POLICIES . . .
A. Yes, there will. As of June 24, the fund will use two additional
agencies - Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. and Fitch Investors Service,
L.P., as well as the Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's
agencies the fund already uses - to determine the credit quality of the
fund's bonds. In addition, as of June 24, the fund will reserve the right
to invest up to 5% in non-investment grade securities. The fund does not
intend to seek out the lower quality bonds. Instead, this change gives the
fund additional flexibility under unusual circumstances.

JONATHAN SHORT ON HIS 
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY:
"My overall philosophy in 
managing a portfolio is to 
stress balance in both 
security structure and 
positioning along the yield 
curve. At the same time, of 
course, I'm trying to maintain 
the highest yield and 
tax-exempt income possible 
for my shareholders. I 
generally like to focus on 
non-callable securities 
whenever the spread 
relationship between 
non-callables and callables is 
attractive. In an environment 
where the bond market is 
rallying, callable bonds can be 
taken away by their issuer, 
while non-callables can't, which 
can give non-callables an 
advantage when it comes to 
total return. I do pay strict 
attention to whether the slope 
of the yield curve is providing 
adequate yield 
compensation relative to 
risk. As far as credit quality, I 
feel that in the current 
environment credit spreads 
are fairly tight, and the 
difference between AAA and 
BBB bonds is not as 
significant as it could be. I'll 
continue to be active in 
positioning the fund in those 
areas of credit quality that I 
feel will provide the best 
long-term value for investors. 
I also try to manage the fund 
to have a fairly constant 
duration, one that's in line with 
its benchmark index."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1996 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor California Municipal Income 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, Class B, and Institutional Class 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 shares on February 20, 1996. Investment 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit 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 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. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule
of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the
caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
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.
PREPAID EXPENSES. FMR bears all organizational expenses except for
registering and qualifying each class and shares of each class for
distribution under federal and state securities law. These expenses are
borne by each class and amortized over one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 prorata basis based on the
number of shares held by each class on the ex-dividend date. 
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. 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". The 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 $2,330,941 and $10,822, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $337,277 and $113,678, 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 ranged from .1100% to
 .3700% for the period. In the event that these rates were lower than the
contractual rates in effect 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
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 .40% 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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively referred to as "the Plans").
Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, 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 .90% (of which
 .65% 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 $148 and $317 under the
Class A Plan and Class B Plan, respectively, of which $148 and $88 were
paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of Class A and Class B shares, respectively, and providing
shareholder support services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $7,033 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which $6,539
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. When Class B shares are sold, FDC pays commissions from its
own resources to dealers through which the sales are made.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the fund's
Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares. UMB has entered into
sub-arrangements with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street)
with respect to the Class A shares, and Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect to the Class
B and Institutional Class shares, to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. State Street and
FIIOC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the
account size and type of account of the 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
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 in the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses. For the period, FSC received accounting fees amounting to
$11,552.
For the period the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized
rate of .24%, .23% and .09% of average net assets for Class A, Class B and
Institutional Class, respectively.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of 1.00%, 1.65%, and 0.75% of average net
assets for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively. For the
period, the reimbursement reduced expenses by $6,797, $5,802, and $19,225
for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, an affiliate of FMR was record owner of
approximately 27.0%, 32.4% and 100% of the total outstanding shares of
Class A, Class B and Institutional Class, respectively.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for all classes were as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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 CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
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. A class' 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 Institutional
Class expenses during the period shown, the total return and dividends
would have been lower. 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1996                          LIFE OF

 Institutional Class                                 -2.83%    
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, since the fund started
on February 20, 1996. 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. Once the fund has a longer record, you can compare Institutional
Class' returns to the Lehman Brothers California Municipal Bond Index,
which includes California investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities
of at least one year. You may also want to look at the performance of the
California municipal debt funds average as tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains,
if any. They will appear in the fund's next report six months from now. 
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS will appear once the fund is a year old, and the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 INVESTMENT in the fund will appear in the
fund's next report six months from now.
 
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, if any.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Jonathan Short, Portfolio Manager of Advisor California
Municipal Income Fund
Q. JON, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. This fund was introduced on February 20, 1996. Fidelity generally looks
at performance for six- or 12-month periods. For this report, we will look
at performance since inception. For the period ended April 30, 1996, the
Institutional Class' total return was -2.83%. In the next report, we will
compare the fund's performance to that of its benchmark, the Lehman
Brothers California Municipal Bond Index, as well as the Lipper California
municipal debt funds average.
Q. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WAY YOU'VE STRUCTURED THE FUND SO FAR . . .
A. Sure. Since the fund began, I've made a conscious effort to position the
fund all along the yield curve and to purchase non-callable bonds. I have
been targeting non-callable bonds because I believe that they have total
return characteristics that are more attractive than those of callable
bonds, whose upside potential is limited. I have also been able to buy a
number of BBB-rated issues that I felt offered attractive yields for their
credit risk.
Q. THE FUND STARTED AT A PRETTY VOLATILE TIME IN THE MUNICIPAL MARKET. WHAT
EFFECT DID THAT HAVE ON YOUR BUYING?
A. In early March of this year, an employment report came out showing that
job growth for February far exceeded most expectations. The bond market
took quite a tumble - Treasury futures closed down three poionts that day -
and it's been struggling to recover. Municipals, however, have outperformed
Treasuries during this period and, though both markets have had negative
returns, munis have done better than Treasuries on a relative basis. For
the fund, this market has for the most part created an opportunity to buy
bonds that other investors were selling. 
Q. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. One of the few disappointments I had over the period involved a hospital
issue that our analysts felt strongly positive about. I was only able to
buy a small amount of that issue, not nearly as much as I wanted. Some good
credit news regarding the bonds came out afterward, and I just wasn't able
to take as much advantage of the opportunity as I would have liked.
Q. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA'S CREDIT STATUS?
A. Well, first let's back up a little bit. Since the harsh recession of
1992-93, California has undergone a major structural change. The state has
shifted from a defense- and aerospace-focused economy to one driven by high
tech, tourism and entertainment. This past year was a real turning point,
as the deficit the state had accumulated in the early 1990s was finally
erased. In fact, for the fiscal year ending June 30, the state is
projecting that revenues will come in roughly $1billion ahead of budget.
That said, there's still much work to do to ensure that the state maintains
its improved fiscal condition. Rather than letting this year's surplus bail
it out of making significant changes in its fiscal management, the state
needs to continue to make intelligent budget decisions. If it does make
those tough choices, California may be able to continue to enhance its
credit standing.
Q. WHAT SPECIFIC AREAS ARE YOU FOCUSING ON WITHIN THE STATE MUNICIPAL
MARKET?
A. I've been buying a fair amount of general obligation, state-issued debt,
since I view the state's credit as improving. The state was recently
upgraded by Fitch Investor Service to A+ from A, and its obligations are
trading well in the marketplace. As I noted earlier, I have also tried to
add some more exposure to BBB-rated securities. There have been a few
situations where our research staff has identified opportunities to receive
an attractive yield for the credit risk we have taken on.
Q. PROBABLY THE TWO MOST NOTED COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA ARE ORANGE AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTIES. WHAT'S YOUR EXPOSURE THERE?
A. I don't own any direct obligations of Orange County. Los Angeles County
is an interesting story. I'd like to see a balanced budget this year that
doesn't rely on the "one-shots" that it's used in the past, such as selling
county assets. I think a more sound approach would involve consolidating
some of the agencies within the county, creating better relationships with
the labor unions and overhauling the massive county hospital system. More
broadly, it needs to take a hard look at what its resources are and what it
can do to gain some efficiencies in serving its constituents. The fund has
one direct obligation of Los Angeles County, a zero coupon bond that
represents less than 1% of the fund's assets. 
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS?
A. Overall, I'd have to say I feel very positive about the state, as I
think the California economy is going to outperform the nation in both 1996
and 1997. This strong economy should pass through to state and local
governments in the form of higher revenues and, hopefully, improved credit
quality. The state is now entering its budget season and the final budget
that's adopted will be an important indication of the direction the state
will take. Overall, I feel the state is taking a conservative view toward
revenues while remaining relatively tough on expenditures, and there's a
general sense of optimism that California is on the right track.
Q. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES IN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT
POLICIES . . .
A. Yes, there will. As of June 24, the fund will use two additional
agencies - Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. and Fitch Investors Service,
L.P., as well as the Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's
agencies the fund already uses - to determine the credit quality of the
fund's bonds. In addition, as of June 24, the fund will reserve the right
to invest up to 5% in non-investment grade securities. The fund does not
intend to seek out the lower quality bonds. Instead, this change gives the
fund additional flexibility under unusual circumstances.

JONATHAN SHORT ON HIS 
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY:
"My overall philosophy in 
managing a portfolio is to 
stress balance in both 
security structure and 
positioning along the yield 
curve. At the same time, of 
course, I'm trying to maintain 
the highest yield and 
tax-exempt income possible 
for my shareholders. I 
generally like to focus on 
non-callable securities 
whenever the spread 
relationship between 
non-callables and callables is 
attractive. In an environment 
where the bond market is 
rallying, callable bonds can be 
taken away by their issuer, 
while non-callables can't, which 
can give non-callables an 
advantage when it comes to 
total return. I do pay strict 
attention to whether the slope 
of the yield curve is providing 
adequate yield 
compensation relative to 
risk. As far as credit quality, I 
feel that in the current 
environment credit spreads 
are fairly tight, and the 
difference between AAA and 
BBB bonds is not as 
significant as it could be. I'll 
continue to be active in 
positioning the fund in those 
areas of credit quality that I 
feel will provide the best 
long-term value for investors. 
I also try to manage the fund 
to have a fairly constant 
duration, one that's in line with 
its benchmark index."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1996 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor California Municipal Income 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, Class B, and Institutional Class 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 shares on February 20, 1996. Investment 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit 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 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. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule
of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the
caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
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.
PREPAID EXPENSES. FMR bears all organizational expenses except for
registering and qualifying each class and shares of each class for
distribution under federal and state securities law. These expenses are
borne by each class and amortized over one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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 prorata basis based on the
number of shares held by each class on the ex-dividend date. 
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. 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". The 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 $2,330,941 and $10,822, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $337,277 and $113,678, 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 ranged from .1100% to
 .3700% for the period. In the event that these rates were lower than the
contractual rates in effect 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
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 .40% 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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively referred to as "the Plans").
Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, 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 .90% (of which
 .65% 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 $148 and $317 under the
Class A Plan and Class B Plan, respectively, of which $148 and $88 were
paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the
distribution of Class A and Class B shares, respectively, and providing
shareholder support services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for
selling Class A shares of the fund. For the period, FDC received sales
charges of $7,033 on sales of Class A shares of the fund, of which $6,539
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. When Class B shares are sold, FDC pays commissions from its
own resources to dealers through which the sales are made.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the fund's
Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares. UMB has entered into
sub-arrangements with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street)
with respect to the Class A shares, and Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect to the Class
B and Institutional Class shares, to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. State Street and
FIIOC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the
account size and type of account of the 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
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 in the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses. For the period, FSC received accounting fees amounting to
$11,552.
For the period the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized
rate of .24%, .23% and .09% of average net assets for Class A, Class B and
Institutional Class, respectively.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of 1.00%, 1.65%, and 0.75% of average net
assets for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively. For the
period, the reimbursement reduced expenses by $6,797, $5,802, and $19,225
for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, an affiliate of FMR was record owner of
approximately 27.0%, 32.4% and 100% of the total outstanding shares of
Class A, Class B and Institutional Class, respectively.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for all classes were as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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. 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
ADVISOR GLOBAL RESOURCES 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. A class' 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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the past one year, past five years and life of fund
total returns would have been lower. Effective January 1, 1996, the maximum
4.75% sales charge on Class A shares was reduced to 3.50%.

Natural Resources Funds Average      29.16%   27.09%   68.24%    n/a       
 
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 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 Class A's returns to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a common proxy for the
U.S. stock market. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the natural resources funds average, which
reflects the performance of 40 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 current maximum 3.50% sales charge. As the chart
shows, by April 30, 1996, the value of your investment would have grown to
$36,802 - a 268.02% 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 $34,502 - a
245.02% 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.

ADVISOR GLOBAL RESOURCES 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. A class' 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). The initial offering of Class B
shares took place on July 3, 1995. Class B shares bear a 1.00%
12b-1/shareholder service fee. Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of
Class A, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class A's prior 0.65%
12b-1 fee. Had Class B's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to July 3,
1995 would have been lower. Class B's contingent deferred sales charges
included in the past six months, past one year, past five years and life of
fund total return figures are 4%, 4%, 1% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity
had not reimbursed certain class expenses, total returns would have been
lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B'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 Class B's returns to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a common proxy for the
U.S. stock market. To measure how Class B's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the natural resources funds average, which
reflects the performance of 40 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 B on December 29, 1987, when the fund
started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1996, the value of your
investment would have grown to $37,912 - a 279.12% 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 $34,502 - a 245.02% 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 months ended April 30, 1996, the fund's Class A and Class B
shares had total returns of 26.30% and 25.69%, respectively. During the
same six month period, the natural resources funds average tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services returned 29.16%. For the 12 months ended April
30, 1996, the fund's Class A and Class B shares had total returns of 34.55%
and 33.76%, respectively, while the natural resources funds average
returned 27.09%. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 13.76% for the
six-month period and 30.21% for the 12-month period.
Q. WHY DID THE NATURAL RESOURCES SECTOR TURN IN A BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN
THE STOCK MARKET AS A WHOLE DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Many of the world's major commodities posted strong price increases
during the period. The Commodity Bureau Index, a broad measure of commodity
prices, hit a seven-year high in the first quarter of 1996. There were two
groups that did particularly well and provided the underpinnings for the
natural resources sector to outperform the broader market: gold and energy.
The demand for gold rose late in the period, boosted primarily by fears of
inflation. Meanwhile, the supply of gold remained relatively tight. Rising
demand and limited supply pushed the price of many North American
gold-related stocks higher. Energy stocks rose dramatically as lower
inventories and rising demand lifted oil and natural gas prices to their
highest levels since the 1991 Persian Gulf War. 
Q. LET'S BEGIN WITH ENERGY, SINCE ENERGY-RELATED COMPANIES MADE UP ABOUT
26% OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. WHICH ENERGY STOCKS
PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Energy service companies, including drillers like Diamond Offshore and
Falcon Drilling, were some of the fund's best performers during the period.
Additionally, the colder-than-normal winter in the East and Midwest,
coupled with low inventories, helped natural gas stocks. Virtually all
natural gas stocks east of the Mississippi and in the Gulf of Mexico
performed well. Those with significant exploration successes, such as
Chesapeake Energy, did even better. This company has successfully carved
out a profitable niche by using horizontal drilling technology to tap
reserves that other companies didn't think they could tap. In 1995, its
production more than doubled. 
Q. WHICH OF THE FUND'S GOLD HOLDINGS DID WELL?
A. Bre-X Minerals, a Canadian company, performed well on the news that it
had discovered a deposit in Indonesia that holds at least 30 million ounces
of gold. South African gold producers, including Vaal Reefs Exploration &
Mining and Western Deep Levels, were also among the fund's leading
performers over the past six months.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY WITH THE BASIC INDUSTRIES COMPONENT OF THE FUND?
A. Throughout the past six months, I kept a large portion of the fund's
stake in the basic industries category invested in specialty chemicals
companies. The global economy remained reasonably healthy, boosting demand
for these products. That greater demand, along with lower raw materials
costs, enhanced the operating margins of many specialty chemical companies,
such as Rohm & Haas. 
Q. DO YOU REGRET SOME OF YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Sure. I could have had more of the fund invested in energy stocks or in
gold instead of keeping it more broadly diversified over a number of
natural resources groups. However, I believe investors choose a natural
resources fund to track the activities in the natural resources sector as a
whole, rather than any other sector in particular. So the fund tends to be
more balanced than many of its competitors.
Q. SOME OF THE FUND'S LARGEST HOLDINGS DON'T REALLY QUALIFY UNDER THE
HEADING OF "NATURAL RESOURCES" COMPANIES. HOW DO THE STOCKS OF DRUG AND
TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, FOR EXAMPLE, FIT INTO A NATURAL RESOURCES FUND?
A. I don't want the performance of the fund to be totally dependent on
rising or falling commodity prices. Sometimes inflation is not a problem,
and in a non-inflationary period, natural resources companies often find it
difficult to raise prices. Also, some of the stocks included in the
technology sector provide very valuable services or equipment to natural
resources companies. Sun Microsystems is an excellent example. It provides
computer equipment and software for business users. The fund's charter
allows me to invest up to 35% of its net assets in sectors other than
natural resources. At the end of the period, technology stocks accounted
for 6.4% of investments, and health care stocks made up 5.8%. While the
fund's technology holdings turned in a mixed performance during the past
six months, many health care holdings performed quite well in the same
period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I think that the economy is doing better than some of the economic data
suggest. Some observers are worried that the rise in personal, corporate
and government debt could derail economic growth. In my view, the
indebtedness of these groups is still manageable so long as interest rates
remain low. No one can say for sure where the economy or interest rates are
headed. The natural resources sector, and the energy industry in
particular, have been hot recently. But it's important for shareholders to
remember that historically there is some seasonality to energy stocks. From
my vantage point, if that seasonality holds true to form, some interesting
opportunities could emerge for buying attractive energy companies at lower
price levels.

MALCOLM MACNAUGHT ON 
FINDING ATTRACTIVE 
INVESTMENTS:
"There are many measures I 
use to identify attractive 
investment opportunities. 
Obviously, I consider 
fundamental factors like 
price-to-earnings ratios, book 
value, cash flow and others. 
And in my view, the strength 
of a given company's 
management can be the key 
to its growth. I also take into 
account each company's 
prospects for price increases 
and volume growth. The best 
of all worlds is when a 
company can do both: grow 
volume and increase prices. 
However, in a non-inflationary 
period or in highly competitive 
industries it may be difficult to 
levy price hikes, though the 
inability to raise prices may be 
offset by increases in 
productivity. Since new 
products can provide volume 
growth, I target companies 
with new products and strong 
marketing franchises."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1996 (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 fund offers Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class 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. Investment
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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit 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 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. 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 between the
funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. FMR bears all organizational expenses except for
registering and qualifying each class and shares of each class for
distribution under federal and state securities law. These expenses are
borne by each class and amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 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 distribu-
tions 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 that will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at
fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
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 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 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 U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. 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. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $402,848,928 and $264,992,544, 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 .2500% 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 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANGAEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
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 .76% 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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively referred to as "the Plans").
Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, the fund pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and
service fee. For the period November 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995, this fee
was based on annual rates of .65% 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.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a revised Class A
distribution plan, under which the fee is based on an annual rate of .50%
of the average net assets of the Class A shares. For the period, the fund
paid FDC $936,387 and $36,419 under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan,
respectively, of which $863,616 and $9,104 were paid to securities dealers,
banks and other financial institutions for the distribution of Class A and
Class B shares, respectively, and providing shareholder support services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
SALES LOAD. For the period November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, FDC
received a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares
of the fund. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class A sales charge. Under the revised arrangement, FDC receives a
front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for selling Class A shares of the
fund. For the period, FDC received sales charges of $1,653,563 on sales of
Class A shares of the fund, of which $1,399,765 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

SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
charges of $5,568 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. State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) is
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A shares, while Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR (collectively, with State Street,
referred to as the Transfer Agents) acts in that capacity for the fund's
Class B and Institutional Class shares. The Transfer Agents 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. With
respect to the Class A shares, State Street has delegated certain transfer,
dividend paying, and shareholder services to FIIOC for which FIIOC receives
its allocable share of all such fees. FIIOC 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
 .25%, .27%, and .11% of average net assets for Class A, Class B, and
Institutional Class, respectively.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, 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 $184,926 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) above the
following annual rates of average net assets for Class A, Class B and
Institutional Class.
(I) CLASS A. Effective January 1, 1996, the expense limitation changed from
an annual rate of 2.40% to 2.25% of average net assets.
(II) CLASS B. For the period, this expense limitation was 2.75% of average
net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $6,039.
(III) INSTITUTIONAL CLASS. For the period, this expense limitation was
1.75% of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by
$9,446.
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
$52,917 under this arrangement.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS - 
CONTINUED
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used
to offset a portion of the class' expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian fees were reduced by $564 under the custodian arrangement, and
Class A, and Institutional Class expenses were reduced by $4,507, and $850,
respectively, under the transfer agent arrangement.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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. 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.

ADVISOR GLOBAL RESOURCES FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
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. A class' 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). The initial offering of Institutional
Class shares took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are
sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior
to July 3, 1995 are those of Class A, the original class of the fund, and
reflect Class A's prior 0.65% 12b-1 fee. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' 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 Institutional
Class' returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a
common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how Institutional Class'
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the natural
resources funds average, which reflects the performance of 40 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 - Institutional Class on December 29, 1987,
when the fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1996, the value of
your investment would have grown to $38,200 - a 282.00% 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 $34,502 - a 245.02% 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 months ended April 30, 1996, Institutional Class had a total
return of 26.38%. During the same six month period, the natural resources
funds average tracked by Lipper Analytical Services returned 29.16%. For
the 12 months ended April 30, 1996, Institutional Class had a total return
of 34.77%, while the natural resources funds average returned 27.09%. The
Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned 13.76% for the six-month period and
30.21% for the 12-month period.
Q. WHY DID THE NATURAL RESOURCES SECTOR TURN IN A BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN
THE STOCK MARKET AS A WHOLE DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Many of the world's major commodities posted strong price increases
during the period. The Commodity Bureau Index, a broad measure of commodity
prices, hit a seven-year high in the first quarter of 1996. There were two
groups that did particularly well and provided the underpinnings for the
natural resources sector to outperform the broader market: gold and energy.
The demand for gold rose late in the period, boosted primarily by fears of
inflation. Meanwhile, the supply of gold remained relatively tight. Rising
demand and limited supply pushed the price of many North American
gold-related stocks higher. Energy stocks rose dramatically as lower
inventories and rising demand lifted oil and natural gas prices to their
highest levels since the 1991 Persian Gulf War. 
Q. LET'S BEGIN WITH ENERGY, SINCE ENERGY-RELATED COMPANIES MADE UP ABOUT
26% OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. WHICH ENERGY STOCKS
PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Energy service companies, including drillers like Diamond Offshore and
Falcon Drilling, were some of the fund's best performers during the period.
Additionally, the colder-than-normal winter in the East and Midwest,
coupled with low inventories, helped natural gas stocks. Virtually all
natural gas stocks east of the Mississippi and in the Gulf of Mexico
performed well. Those with significant exploration successes, such as
Chesapeake Energy, did even better. This company has successfully carved
out a profitable niche by using horizontal drilling technology to tap
reserves that other companies didn't think they could tap. In 1995, its
production more than doubled. 
Q. WHICH OF THE FUND'S GOLD HOLDINGS DID WELL?
A. Bre-X Minerals, a Canadian company, performed well on the news that it
had discovered a deposit in Indonesia that holds at least 30 million ounces
of gold. South African gold producers, including Vaal Reefs Exploration &
Mining and Western Deep Levels, were also among the fund's leading
performers over the past six months.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY WITH THE BASIC INDUSTRIES COMPONENT OF THE FUND?
A. Throughout the past six months, I kept a large portion of the fund's
stake in the basic industries category invested in specialty chemicals
companies. The global economy remained reasonably healthy, boosting demand
for these products. That greater demand, along with lower raw materials
costs, enhanced the operating margins of many specialty chemical companies,
such as Rohm & Haas. 
Q. DO YOU REGRET SOME OF YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Sure. I could have had more of the fund invested in energy stocks or in
gold instead of keeping it more broadly diversified over a number of
natural resources groups. However, I believe investors choose a natural
resources fund to track the activities in the natural resources sector as a
whole, rather than any other sector in particular. So the fund tends to be
more balanced than many of its competitors.
Q. SOME OF THE FUND'S LARGEST HOLDINGS DON'T REALLY QUALIFY UNDER THE
HEADING OF "NATURAL RESOURCES" COMPANIES. HOW DO THE STOCKS OF DRUG AND
TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES, FOR EXAMPLE, FIT INTO A NATURAL RESOURCES FUND?
A. I don't want the performance of the fund to be totally dependent on
rising or falling commodity prices. Sometimes inflation is not a problem,
and in a non-inflationary period, natural resources companies often find it
difficult to raise prices. Also, some of the stocks included in the
technology sector  provide very valuable services or equipment to natural
resources companies. Sun Microsystems is an excellent example. It provides
computer equipment and software for business users. The fund's charter
allows me to invest up to 35% of its net assets in sectors other than
natural resources. At the end of the period, technology stocks accounted
for 6.4% of investments, and health care stocks made up 5.8%. While the
fund's technology holdings turned in a mixed performance during the past
six months, many health care holdings performed quite well in the same
period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I think that the economy is doing better than some of the economic data
suggest. Some observers are worried that the rise in personal, corporate
and government debt could derail economic growth. In my view, the
indebtedness of these groups is still manageable so long as interest rates
remain low. No one can say for sure where the economy or interest rates are
headed. The natural resources sector, and the energy industry in
particular, have been hot recently. But it's important for shareholders to
remember that historically there is some seasonality to energy stocks. From
my vantage point, if that seasonality holds true to form, some interesting
opportunities could emerge for buying attractive energy companies at lower
price levels.

MALCOLM MACNAUGHT ON 
FINDING ATTRACTIVE 
INVESTMENTS:
"There are many measures I 
use to identify attractive 
investment opportunities. 
Obviously, I consider 
fundamental factors like 
price-to-earnings ratios, book 
value, cash flow and others. 
And in my view, the strength 
of a given company's 
management can be the key 
to its growth. I also take into 
account each company's 
prospects for price increases 
and volume growth. The best 
of all worlds is when a 
company can do both: grow 
volume and increase prices. 
However, in a non-inflationary 
period or in highly competitive 
industries it may be difficult to 
levy price hikes, though the 
inability to raise prices may be 
offset by increases in 
productivity. Since new 
products can provide volume 
growth, I target companies 
with new products and strong 
marketing franchises."

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 fund offers Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class 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. Investment
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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit 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 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. 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 between the
funds in the trust.
PREPAID EXPENSES. FMR bears all organizational expenses except for
registering and qualifying each class and shares of each class for
distribution under federal and state securities law. These expenses are
borne by each class and amortized over one year.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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 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 distribu-
tions 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 that will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at
fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
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 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 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 U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. 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. 
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $402,848,928 and $264,992,544, 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 .2500% 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 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANGAEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
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 .76% 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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively referred to as "the Plans").
Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, the fund pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution and
service fee. For the period November 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995, this fee
was based on annual rates of .65% 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.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a revised Class A
distribution plan, under which the fee is based on an annual rate of .50%
of the average net assets of the Class A shares. For the period, the fund
paid FDC $936,387 and $36,419 under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan,
respectively, of which $863,616 and $9,104 were paid to securities dealers,
banks and other financial institutions for the distribution of Class A and
Class B shares, respectively, and providing shareholder support services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
SALES LOAD. For the period November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, FDC
received a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares
of the fund. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class A sales charge. Under the revised arrangement, FDC receives a
front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for selling Class A shares of the
fund. For the period, FDC received sales charges of $1,653,563 on sales of
Class A shares of the fund, of which $1,399,765 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 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
charges of $5,568 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. State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) is
the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A shares, while Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR (collectively, with State Street,
referred to as the Transfer Agents) acts in that capacity for the fund's
Class B and Institutional Class shares. The Transfer Agents 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. With
respect to the Class A shares, State Street has delegated certain transfer,
dividend paying, and shareholder services to FIIOC for which FIIOC receives
its allocable share of all such fees. FIIOC 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
 .25%, .27%, and .11% of average net assets for Class A, Class B, and
Institutional Class, respectively.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, 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 $184,926 for the period.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) above the
following annual rates of average net assets for Class A, Class B and
Institutional Class.
(I) CLASS A. Effective January 1, 1996, the expense limitation changed from
an annual rate of 2.40% to 2.25% of average net assets.
(II) CLASS B. For the period, this expense limitation was 2.75% of average
net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $6,039.
(III) INSTITUTIONAL CLASS. For the period, this expense limitation was
1.75% of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by
$9,446.
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
$52,917 under this arrangement.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS - 
CONTINUED
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used
to offset a portion of the class' expenses. During the period, the fund's
custodian fees were reduced by $564 under the custodian arrangement, and
Class A, and Institutional Class expenses were reduced by $4,507, and $850,
respectively, under the transfer agent arrangement.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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 NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME 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. A class' 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 the class'
income to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain Class
A expenses during the periods shown, the total returns and dividends would
have been lower. Effective January 1, 1996, the maximum sales charge on
Class A shares was reduced to 3.50%.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, or since the fund started on
August 21, 1995. 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 the Lehman Brothers New York 4
Plus Year Municipal Bond Index, which includes New York investment-grade
municipal bonds with maturities of at least four years. To measure how
Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the New York municipal debt funds average, which reflects the performance
of 100 New York municipal debt funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. Both benchmarks

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say you invested $10,000 in Advisor New
York Municipal Income Fund - Class A on August 31, 1995, shortly after the
fund started, and paid the current maximum 3.50% sales charge. As the chart
shows, by April 30, 1996, the value of your investment would have decreased
to $9,931 - a .69% decrease on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the
performance of the investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the
same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would
have grown to $10,323 - a 3.23% 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, if any, 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 share price of $10.27 over
the past month, $10.49 over the past six months, and $10.43 over the life
of class, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all bond funds based on
the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure 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 offering share price used in the calculation of the
yield includes the effect of Class A's current maximum 3.50% sales charge.
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 43.41%
combined effective 1996 federal, state and New York City tax bracket but
does not reflect the payment of the federal alternative minimum tax, if
applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain Class A expenses during
the period shown, the yield and the tax-equivalent yield would have been
2.47% and 4.36%, respectively. 
ADVISOR NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME 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. A class' 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 the class'
income to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain Class
B expenses during the periods shown, the total returns and dividends would
have been lower.

over a set period - in this case, six months, or since the fund started on
August 21, 1995. 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 B's returns to the Lehman Brothers New York 4
Plus Year Municipal Bond Index, which includes New York investment-grade
municipal bonds with maturities of at least four years. To measure how
Class B's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the New York municipal debt funds average, which reflects the performance
of 100 New York municipal debt funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services over the past six months. Both benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Norman Lind, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor New
York Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the fund's Class A and Class B
shares had a total return of 0.73% and 0.39%, respectively. That compares
to 0.47% for the New York State Municipal Debt funds average as tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services over the period, and 0.96% for the Lehman
Brothers New York 4 Plus Year Municipal Bond Index.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund started in August of 1995, and it was able to take advantage of
favorable market conditions that were occurring in the last part of 1995.
As we were getting started, we concentrated the fund's holdings in what was
available in municipals at the time, which happened to be in the
longer-maturity end of the market. In the first quarter of 1996, the
municipal market did well overall relative to alternative securities such
as Treasuries for three reasons. First, there was not a lot of supply out
there; second, there was fairly heavy demand for that limited supply.
Lastly, some of the fear that had been spooking the market for some time
with regard to flat tax proposals and their potential impact on municipal
securities dissolved, in part because no specific proposals emerged from
the Kemp Commission to serve as a rallying point behind a strong tax reform
movement.
Q. HOW DID THAT TRANSLATE TO THE NEW YORK MARKET SPECIFICALLY?
A. Well, New York had its own reform movement to contend with, as voters
went to the polls over a constitutional debt reform amendment. It did not
pass, unfortunately, because I think it would have been strongly positive
in forcing the state to address some of its structural budget issues. The
good news was that it really didn't have a negative impact on the state
municipal market, as other factors came into play. For example, the state
budget, which was due April 1, still has not come in. That means no new
debt issuance has been authorized, and the tightness in supply has kept the
state market fairly strong.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU STRUCTURED THE PORTFOLIO?
A. I have been a buyer of premium bonds for the portfolio, specifically
non-callable premiums. The non-callability of these bonds provides them
with upside potential because they aren't subject to the same reinvestment
risk as callables. That's the risk that the proceeds of a bond which has
been called by its issuer will have to be reinvested at lower rates. The
premium - or above-par - price provides the bond with what's known as de
minimis protection - which means that the bond is protected from
unfavorable tax treatment that can occur if the bond appreciates in price
beyond a certain limit. I am currently somewhat underweighted in New York
City bonds as well as state-appropriated bonds while being a bit
overweighted in New York State Local Government Assistance Corporation -
LGAC - bonds. LGAC is an authority that was set up several years ago and
has now reached the end of its financing program. The market has been slow
to recognize the value of the program, but now these bonds trade closely to
the highest grade bonds in the state. 
Q. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY AREAS OF DISAPPOINTMENT FOR YOU?
A. Just one. I wish that I'd been able to invest more of the fund in New
York City bonds. I believe the city is firmly a BBB credit, due in part to
the structural safeguards in place, such as the City Control Board. The
city's economy seems to have turned the corner; although its growth is
still behind the country overall, it's closing the gap. And the safety nets
in place offer stability for the city's finances; the Control Board can
step in to make cuts if the city's deficit exceeds $100 million and the
Municipal Assistance Corporation is available to provide continuing bond
market access for the city. So we've been able to add some positions in the
short end of the yield curve, but at around 6.7% of the portfolio, our
exposure has only been about half as much as I would have liked.
Q. GETTING BACK TO THE STATE'S BUDGET, WILL NEW YORK BE ABLE TO BUILD ON
THE PROGRESS MADE LAST YEAR?
A. I certainly hope so. Last year, for the first time in 50 years, the
state managed to make year-over-year cuts in total expenditures. Governor
Pataki had a budget on the table earlier that would have worked hand in
hand with a federal budget deal to force key changes in how the state
handled welfare and Medicaid financing. However, when the federal budget
failed to deliver these hoped-for changes, the Governor introduced a
revised budget plan. The current Pataki budget looks reasonable, even
though it relies more on one-time cuts than the kinds of structural changes
I'd prefer to see. Still, the bottom line is that New York is making a
concerted effort to stay committed to tax and spending cuts, which should
benefit its business climate and credit quality.
Q. LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS MAY HOLD FOR
THIS MARKET?
A. I like where both the market and the fund are right now. I see the
municipal market as fairly priced - it's neither too cheap nor too
expensive - and yields are in line with comparable Treasuries. So I don't
expect dramatic price or yield changes in either direction. One clear wild
card is whether we'll see renewed discussion of the flat tax as the
election season heats up. Within the state, we will continue to monitor the
budget process closely and invest accordingly. Meanwhile, I'll continue to
focus on non-callable and premium bonds as they're available within the
fund's overall structure.
FUND FACTS

and city personal income tax by 
investing primarily in municipal 
securities

NORMAN LIND ON AMT BONDS:
"The fund recently expanded 
its ability to add AMT 
bonds - ones which are 
subject to the Alternative 
Minimum Tax - to the 
portfolio. I haven't taken any 
large AMT positions yet, but I 
wanted to make sure that 
shareholders who may be 
sensitive to AMT holdings stay 
informed. I've been somewhat 
underweighted in the housing 
sector, for instance, because 
many of the housing bonds 
in the state are AMT issues. 
There are also AMT bonds 
issued by TOGA - Terminal 
One Group Authority - that 
target the expansion of the 
international terminal at 
Kennedy Airport and are 
backed by both Air France 
and British Airways. For the 
extra 15 or 20 basis points in 
yield that I might pick up, 
AMTs can add some solid 
value to the fund."
(solid bullet)  As of June 24, 1996, there 
will be two changes to the fund's 
investment policies. First, 
Fidelity will use two additional 
agencies - Duff & Phelps 
Credit Rating Co. and Fitch 
Investor Services, as well as 
Moody's Investors Service and 
Standard & Poor's, which the 
fund already uses - to 
determine the credit quality of 
the fund's bonds. In addition, as 
of June 24, the fund will reserve 
the right to invest up to 5% in 
non-investment grade 
securities. The fund does not 
intend to seek out the lower 
quality bonds. Instead, this 
change gives the fund 
additional flexibility under 
unusual circumstances.

COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH A
FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER FACTORS
ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE. ACCORDINGLY,
A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THE ABOVE EXAMPLE.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended April 30, 1996 (Unaudited)
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
On December 14, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the fund's
name from Fidelity Advisor New York Tax-Free Fund to Fidelity Advisor New
York Municipal Income 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, Class B, and Institutional Class 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. Investment
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. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule
of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the
caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
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.
PREPAID EXPENSES. FMR bears all organizational expenses except for
registering and qualifying each class and shares of each class for
distribution under federal and state securities law. These expenses are
borne by each class and amortized over one year.
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. 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
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 prorata basis based on the number of shares held by each class on the
ex-dividend date.
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. 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 $3,447,110 and $552,228, 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 ranged from .1100% 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 .40% 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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED 
referred to as "the Plans"). Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, the
fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee. For the period November 1, 1995, to December
31, 1995, this fee was 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. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class B distribution plan, under which the fee is based on an
annual rate of .90% (of which .65% represents a distribution fee and .25%
represents a shareholder service fee) of the average net assets of the
Class B shares. For the period, the fund paid FDC $3,849 and $8,053 under
the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, respectively, of which $3,849 and $2,169
were paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for
the distribution of Class A and Class B shares, respectively, and providing
shareholder support services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
 
 
SALES LOAD. For the period November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, FDC
received a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares
of the fund. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class A sales charge. Under the revised arrangement, FDC receives a
front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for selling Class A shares of the
fund. For the period, FDC received sales charges of $29,590 on sales of
Class A shares of the fund, of which $27,425 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 $1,029 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 AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the custodian,
transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the fund's Class A,
Class B, and Institutional shares. UMB has entered

TRANSFER AGENT FEES AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
into sub-arrangements with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State
Street) with respect to the Class A shares, and Fidelity Investments
Institutional Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect
to the Class B and Institutional shares, to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. 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
$27,598.
For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized
rate of .02%, .02%, and .02% of average net assets for Class A Class B, and
Institutional Class, respectively.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of 1.00%, 1.65%, and 0.75% of average net
assets for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively. For the
period, the reimbursement reduced expenses by $22,305, $16,776, and $6,997
for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used
to offset a portion of the class' expenses. During the period, Class A,
Class B, and Institutional Class expenses were reduced by $824, $582 and
$397, respectively, under these arrangements.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, an affiliate of FMR was record owner of
approximately 20.0%, 53.2% and 100% of the total outstanding shares of
Class A, Class B and Institutional Class, respectively.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for each class of shares were as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although stocks have managed to post solid returns through the first four
months of 1996, signs of strength in the economy have led to inflation
fears, causing some uncertainty in bond markets so far this year.  In 1995,
both stock and bond markets posted strong results, while the year before,
stocks posted below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in
history.
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 NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
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. A class' 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 Institutional
Class expenses during the periods shown, the total returns and dividends
would have been lower.

New York Municipal Debt Funds Average         0.47%    5.28%     
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, or since the
fund started on August 21, 1995. 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 Institutional Class' returns to
the Lehman Brothers New York 4 Plus Year Municipal Bond Index, which
includes New York Investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of at
least four years. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the New York municipal debt
funds average, which reflects the performance of 100 New York municipal
debt funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services
over the past six months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any. 
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take Institutional Class shares' actual (or
cumulative) return and show you what would have happened if Institutional
Class had performed at a constant rate each year. Since the fund is less
than a year old, we will report these numbers in the next report.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say you invested $10,000 in Advisor New
York Municipal Income Fund - Institutional Class on August 31, 1995,
shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 1996, the
value of your investment would have grown to $10,313 - a 3.13% increase on
your initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance of the
investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same period. With
dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$10,323 - a 3.23% 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.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.27 over
the past month, $10.49 over the past six months, and $10.43 over the life
of class, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all bond funds based on
the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure 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 43.41% combined effective 1996 federal and state and New York City
tax bracket but does not reflect the payment of the federal alternative
minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
Institutional Class expenses during the period shown, expenses would have
exceeded the income of the class and both the yield and tax-equivalent
yield would have been -0.74%.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Norman Lind, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor New
York Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the fund's Institutional Class
shares had a total return of 0.94%. That compares to 0.47% for the New York
State Municipal Debt funds average as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services
over the period, and 0.96% for the Lehman Brothers New York 4 Plus Year
Municipal Bond Index.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund started in August of 1995, and it was able to take advantage of
favorable market conditions that were occurring in the last part of 1995.
As we were getting started, we concentrated the fund's holdings in what was
available in municipals at the time, which happened to be in the
longer-maturity end of the market. In the first quarter of 1996, the
municipal market did well overall relative to alternative securities such
as Treasuries for three reasons. First, there was not a lot of supply out
there; second, there was fairly heavy demand for that limited supply.
Lastly, some of the fear that had been spooking the market for some time
with regard to flat tax proposals and their potential impact on municipal
securities dissolved, in part because no specific proposals emerged from
the Kemp Commission to serve as a rallying point behind a strong tax reform
movement.
Q. HOW DID THAT TRANSLATE TO THE NEW YORK MARKET SPECIFICALLY?
A. Well, New York had its own reform movement to contend with, as voters
went to the polls over a constitutional debt reform amendment. It did not
pass, unfortunately, because I think it would have been strongly positive
in forcing the state to address some of its structural budget issues. The
good news was that it really didn't have a negative impact on the state
municipal market, as other factors came into play. For example, the state
budget, which was due April 1, still has not come in. That means no new
debt issuance has been authorized, and the tightness in supply has kept the
state market fairly strong.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU STRUCTURED THE PORTFOLIO?
A. I have been a buyer of premium bonds for the portfolio, specifically
non-callable premiums. The non-callability of these bonds provides them
with upside potential because they aren't subject to the same reinvestment
risk as callables. That's the risk that the proceeds of a bond which has
been called by its issuer will 
have to be reinvested at lower rates. The premium - or above-par - price
provides the bond with what's known as de minimis protection - which means
that the bond is protected from unfavorable tax treatment that can occur if
the bond appreciates in price beyond a certain limit. I am currently
somewhat underweighted in New York City bonds as well as state-appropriated
bonds while being a bit overweighted in New York State Local Government
Assistance Corporation - LGAC - bonds. LGAC is an authority that was set up
several years ago and has now reached the end of its financing program. The
market has been slow to recognize the value of the program, but now these
bonds trade closely to the highest grade bonds in the state. 
Q. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY AREAS OF DISAPPOINTMENT FOR YOU?
A. Just one. I wish that I'd been able to invest more of the fund in New
York City bonds. I believe the city is firmly a BBB credit, due in part to
the structural safeguards in place, such as the City Control Board. The
city's economy seems to have turned the corner; although its growth is
still behind the country overall, it's closing the gap. And the safety nets
in place offer stability for the city's finances; the Control Board can
step in to make cuts if the city's deficit exceeds $100 million and the
Municipal Assistance Corporation is available to provide continuing bond
market access for the city. So we've been able to add some positions in the
short end of the yield curve, but at around 6.7% of the portfolio, our
exposure has only been about half as much as I would have liked.
Q. GETTING BACK TO THE STATE'S BUDGET, WILL NEW YORK BE ABLE TO BUILD ON
THE PROGRESS MADE LAST YEAR?
A. I certainly hope so. Last year, for the first time in 50 years, the
state managed to make year-over-year cuts in total expenditures. Governor
Pataki had a budget on the table earlier that would have worked hand in
hand with a federal budget deal to force key changes in how the state
handled welfare and Medicaid financing. However, when the federal budget
failed to deliver these hoped-for changes, the Governor introduced a
revised budget plan. The current Pataki budget looks reasonable, even
though it relies more on one-time cuts than the kinds of structural changes
I'd prefer to see. Still, the bottom line is that New York is making a
concerted effort to stay committed to tax and spending cuts, which should
benefit its business climate and credit quality.
Q. LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS MAY HOLD FOR
THIS MARKET?
A. I like where both the market and the fund are right now. I see the
municipal market as fairly priced - it's neither too cheap nor too
expensive - and yields are in line with comparable Treasuries. So I don't
expect dramatic price or yield changes in either direction. One clear wild
card is whether we'll see renewed discussion of the flat tax as the
election season heats up. Within the state, we will continue to monitor the
budget process closely and invest accordingly. Meanwhile, I'll continue to
focus on non-callable and premium bonds as they're available within the
fund's overall structure.
FUND FACTS
GOAL: a high level of current 
income free from federal 
income tax and New York state 
and city personal income tax by 
investing primarily in municipal 
securities
START DATE: August 21, 1995
SIZE: As of April 30, 1996, 
more than $6 million
MANAGER: Norman Lind, 
since August 1995; joined 
Fidelity in 1986

NORMAN LIND ON AMT BONDS:
"The fund recently expanded 
its ability to add AMT 
bonds - ones which are 
subject to the Alternative 
Minimum Tax - to the 
portfolio. I haven't taken any 
large AMT positions yet, but I 
wanted to make sure that 
shareholders who may be 
sensitive to AMT holdings stay 
informed. I've been somewhat 
underweighted in the housing 
sector, for instance, because 
many of the housing bonds 
in the state are AMT issues. 
There are also AMT bonds 
issued by TOGA - Terminal 
One Group Authority - that 
target the expansion of the 
international terminal at 
Kennedy Airport and are 
backed by both Air France 
and British Airways. For the 
extra 15 or 20 basis points in 
yield that I might pick up, 
AMTs can add some solid 
value to the fund."
(solid bullet)  As of June 24, 1996, there 
will be two changes to the fund's 
investment policies. First, 
Fidelity will use two additional 
agencies - Duff & Phelps 
Credit Rating Co. and Fitch 
Investor Services, as well as 
Moody's Investors Service and 
Standard & Poor's, which the 
fund already uses - to 
determine the credit quality of 
the fund's bonds. In addition, as 
of June 24, the fund will reserve 
the right to invest up to 5% in 
non-investment grade 
securities. The fund does not 
intend to seek out the lower 
quality bonds. Instead, this 
change gives the fund 
additional flexibility under 
unusual circumstances.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
On December 14, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the fund's
name from Fidelity Advisor New York Tax-Free Fund to Fidelity Advisor New
York Municipal Income 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, Class B, and Institutional Class 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. Investment
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. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule
of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the
caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
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.
PREPAID EXPENSES. FMR bears all organizational expenses except for
registering and qualifying each class and shares of each class for
distribution under federal and state securities law. These expenses are
borne by each class and amortized over one year.
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. 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
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 prorata basis based on the number of shares held by each class on the
ex-dividend date.
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. 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 $3,447,110 and $552,228, 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 ranged from .1100% 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 .40% 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), Class B shares (Class B Plan),
and Institutional Class shares (collectively

CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN - CONTINUED 
referred to as "the Plans"). Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, the
fund pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a
distribution and service fee. For the period November 1, 1995, to December
31, 1995, this fee was 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. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class B distribution plan, under which the fee is based on an
annual rate of .90% (of which .65% represents a distribution fee and .25%
represents a shareholder service fee) of the average net assets of the
Class B shares. For the period, the fund paid FDC $3,849 and $8,053 under
the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, respectively, of which $3,849 and $2,169
were paid to securities dealers, banks and other financial institutions for
the distribution of Class A and Class B shares, respectively, and providing
shareholder support services.
Under the Plans, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's Class A, Class B,
and Institutional Class shares. The Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. 
 
 
SALES LOAD. For the period November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, FDC
received a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares
of the fund. Effective January 1, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a
revised Class A sales charge. Under the revised arrangement, FDC receives a
front-end sales charge of up to 3.50% for selling Class A shares of the
fund. For the period, FDC received sales charges of $29,590 on sales of
Class A shares of the fund, of which $27,425 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 $1,029 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 AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the custodian,
transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the fund's Class A,
Class B, and Institutional shares. UMB has entered

TRANSFER AGENT FEES AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
into sub-arrangements with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State
Street) with respect to the Class A shares, and Fidelity Investments
Institutional Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, with respect
to the Class B and Institutional shares, to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. 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
$27,598.
For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized
rate of .02%, .02%, and .02% of average net assets for Class A Class B, and
Institutional Class, respectively.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above an annual rate of 1.00%, 1.65%, and 0.75% of average net
assets for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively. For the
period, the reimbursement reduced expenses by $22,305, $16,776, and $6,997
for Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class, respectively.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used
to offset a portion of the class' expenses. During the period, Class A,
Class B, and Institutional Class expenses were reduced by $824, $582 and
$397, respectively, under these arrangements.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, an affiliate of FMR was record owner of
approximately 20.0%, 53.2% and 100% of the total outstanding shares of
Class A, Class B and Institutional Class, respectively.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for each class of shares were as follows:
