FIDELITY PURITAN FUND
SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED SEPTEMBER 18, 1993
The following information replaces the fourth paragraph under the heading
"Share Price" on page 13:
The fund's sales charge may be reduced if you invest directly with Fidelity
or through prototype or prototype-like retirement plans sponsored by FMR or
FMR Corp. Purchases made with assistance or intervention from a financial
intermediary are not eligible. The amount you invest, plus the value of
your account, must fall within the ranges shown below. Call Fidelity to see
if your purchase qualifies.
Ranges Sales charge Net amount invested
$0 - 249,999 3% 3.09%
$250,000 - 499,999 2% 2.04%
$500,000 - 999,999 1% 1.01%
$1,000,000 or more none none
The sales charge will also be reduced by the percentage of any sales charge
you previously paid on investments in other Fidelity funds (not including
Fidelity's Foreign Currency Funds). Similarly, your shares carry credit for
any sales charge you would have paid if the reductions in the table above
had not been available. These sales charge credits only apply if you
continuously owned Fidelity fund shares or a Fidelity brokerage core
account, or participated in The CORPORATEplan for Retirement Program, and
only to purchases made in one of the following ways: (i) by exchange from
another Fidelity fund; (ii) with proceeds of a transaction within a
Fidelity brokerage core account, including any free credit balance, core
money market fund, or margin availability, to the extent such proceeds were
derived from redemption proceeds from another Fidelity fund; (iii) with
redemption proceeds from one of Fidelity's Foreign Currency Funds, if the
Foreign Currency Fund shares were originally purchased with redemption
proceeds from a Fidelity fund; (iv) through the Directed Dividends Option
(see page 18); or (v) by participants in The CORPORATEplan for Retirement
Program when shares are purchased through plan-qualified loan repayments,
and for exchanges into and out of the Managed Income Portfolio.
The following information replaces similar language found in the seventh
paragraph under the heading "Share Price" beginning on page 13:
The sales charge paid to qualified recipients is 1.5% of the fund's
offering price.
