FUND SUMMARY

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.

U.S. BOND INDEX FUND seeks to provide investment results that
correspond to the total return of the bonds in the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. Fidelity Management & Research
Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

(small solid bullet) Investing at least 80% of the fund's assets in
bonds included in Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

(small solid bullet) Using statistical sampling techniques based on
duration, maturity, interest rate sensitivity, security structure and
credit quality.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS. The fund is subject to the following
principal investment risks:

(small solid bullet) INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Interest rate increases
can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.

(small solid bullet) FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Entities located in foreign
countries can be affected by adverse political, regulatory, market or
economic developments in those countries.

(small solid bullet) PREPAYMENT. The ability of an issuer of a debt
security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause
greater price volatility if interest rates change.

(small solid bullet) ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently than
the value of the market as a whole.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or
less than what you paid for them.

PERFORMANCE

The following information illustrates the changes in the fund's
performance from year to year and compares the fund's performance to
the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of
similar funds over various periods of time. Returns are based on past
results and are not an indication of future performance.

[If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during these periods,
the fund's returns would have been lower.]

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted
index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including
government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities,
with maturities of one year or more.

The Lipper Intermediate U.S. Government Funds Average reflects the
performance (excluding sales charges) of mutual funds with similar
objectives.

average net assets, exceed __ %. This arrangement can be terminated by
FMR at any time. FMR will provide 90 days' notice to shareholders if
this arrangement is changed.

[A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays is used to
reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, the fund has entered into
arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce
custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the
total fund operating expenses, after reimbursement, would have been
__% .]

This EXAMPLE helps you compare the cost of investing in the fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5% and
that your shareholder fees and the fund's annual operating expenses
are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates
the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or
expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For
every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total
expenses if you close your account after the number of years

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:

U.S. BOND INDEX FUND seeks to provide investment results that
correspond to the total return of the bonds in the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES:

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in bonds
included in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (the Index). The
Index is comprised of U.S. dollar denominated, fixed-rate debt issues,
including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed
securities.

FMR may use statistical sampling techniques to attempt to replicate
the returns of the Index using a smaller number of securities.
Statistical sampling techniques attempt to match the investment
characteristics of the index and the fund by taking into account such
factors as duration, maturity, interest rate sensitivity, security
structure and credit quality. FMR expects the fund's investments will
approximate the broad market sector weightings of the Index within a
range of (plus/minus)10%.

The fund seeks to achieve a 90% or better correlation between its
total return and the total return of the Index. The fund may not
track the Index perfectly because differences between the Index and
the fund's portfolio can cause differences in performance. In
addition, expenses and transaction costs, the size and frequency of
cash flows into and out of the fund, and differences between how and
when the fund and the index are valued can cause differences in
performance.

In order to earn additional income for the fund, FMR may use a trading
strategy that involves selling mortgage securities and simultaneously
agreeing to purchase similar securities on a later date at a set
price. This trading strategy may result in an increased portfolio
turnover rate which increases transaction costs and may increase
taxable gains.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures
contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices, interest rates or other factors that affect security
values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not
achieve its objective.

DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES:

DEBT SECURITIES are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer
usually pays a fixed, variable or floating rate of interest, and must
repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt
securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest,
but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities
include corporate bonds, government securities and mortgage and other
asset-backed securities.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS:

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's yield and
share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and
market conditions and in response to other economic, political or
financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments
will be affected by the types and maturities of the securities in
which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic
sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of
investment in the security types of that issuer. When you sell your
shares of a fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid
for them.

The following factors may significantly affect the fund's performance:

INTEREST RATE CHANGES. Debt securities have varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a
debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when
interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage
securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other
words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a
change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In
addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities
tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term
securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign securities and securities issued by U.S.
entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional
risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in
foreign countries. All of these factors can make foreign investments
more volatile than U.S. investments.

PREPAYMENT. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage
securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment occurs when
the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's
maturity. Securities subject to prepayment generally offer less
potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment, and
similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate
environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features
on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result
in greater volatility.

ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general
economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or
value of an issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt securities (those
of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be more sensitive to
these changes than higher-quality debt securities.

In response to market, economic, political or other conditions, FMR
may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's
performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change
only by shareholder approval.

U.S. BOND INDEX FUND seeks to provide investment results that
correspond to the aggregate price and interest performance of the debt
securities in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

VALUING SHARES

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV
may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as
permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's
assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the
fund's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on
days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be
affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition,
trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the
fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information
furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. Certain
short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If
market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not
readily available for a security or if a security's value has been
materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for
example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by
another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects
fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method
used for determining value.

the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading
history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common
ownership or control.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only
on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

When you place an order to buy shares, note the following:

business days after a purchase.

(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS

The fund earns interest, dividends and other income from its
investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to
shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from
its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to
shareholders as capital gains distributions.

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The
fund normally pays capital gains distributions in April and December.

EARNING DIVIDENDS

Shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the
day of purchase.

Shares earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day
following the day of redemption.

DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. The following options may be available for
the fund's distributions:

1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividends and capital gains distributions
will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If
you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned
this option.

2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gains distributions will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your
dividends will be paid in cash.

3. CASH OPTION. Your dividends and capital gains distributions will be
paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the
option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you
want to change your current option, call Fidelity.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the
U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution
option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not
receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution
checks.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax
consequences for you. If you are not investing through a
tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax
consequences.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions you receive from the fund are
subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or
local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, the fund's dividends and distributions of
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. The
fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you
generally as capital gains.

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized
in any year, all or a portion of those distributions may be treated as
a return of capital to shareholders for tax purposes. A return of
capital will generally not be taxable to you, but will reduce the cost
basis of your shares and result in a higher reported capital gain or a
lower reported capital loss when you sell your shares.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed
capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full
price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in
the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be
taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution
option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash, you will
receive certain December distributions in January, but those
distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may
result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital
gain or loss on your investment in the fund is the difference between
the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

FUND MANAGEMENT

U.S. Bond Index is a mutual fund, an investment that pools
shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the fund's manager.

As of ____, FMR had approximately $__ billion in discretionary assets
under management.

As the manager, FMR is responsible for choosing the fund's investments
and handling its business affairs.

Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), in Merrimack, New
Hampshire, serves as sub-adviser for the fund. FIMM is primarily
responsible for choosing investments for the fund.

FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of ____, FIMM had approximately $____
in discretionary assets under management.

The fund could be adversely affected if the computer systems used by
FMR and other service providers do not properly process and calculate
date-related information from and after January 1, 2000. FMR has
advised the fund that it is actively working on necessary changes to
its computer systems and expects that its systems, and those of other
major service providers, will be modified prior to January 1, 2000.
However, there can be no assurance that there will be no adverse
impact on the fund.

Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR.

The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

The fund's annual management fee rate is __% of its average net
assets.

For the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999, the fund paid a
management fee of __% of the fund's average net assets, after
reimbursement.

FMR pays FIMM for providing assistance with investment advisory
services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the
ability to be repaid by the fund if expenses fall below the specified
limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements,
which may be terminated by FMR at any time, can decrease the fund's
expenses and boost its performance.

[As of _____, approximately ____% of the fund's total outstanding
shares were held by FMR and an FMR affiliate.]

FUND DISTRIBUTION

Fidelity Distributors Corporation, Inc. (FDC) distributes the fund's
shares.

The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that
FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits
or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses
incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in
the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR,
directly or through FDC, may pay intermediaries, such as banks,
broker-dealers and other service-providers, that provide those
services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such
payments.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan,
intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in
advance.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into
account the sale of shares of the fund, provided that the fund
receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those
of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been
authorized to give any information or to make any representations,
other than those contained in this Prospectus and in the related
Statement of Additional Information (SAI), in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the fund or FDC. This Prospectus and the related SAI do
not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell or to buy shares
of the fund to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in
the Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy
or limitation states a maximum percentage of the fund's assets that
may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy
regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation
will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's
acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any
subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will
not be considered when determining whether the investment complies
with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

The fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment
limitations listed below , the investment policies and limitations
described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:

(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the
securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or
securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more
than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities
of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer;

(2) issue senior securities, except in connection with the
insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise
permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(3) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount
not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings
that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not
including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with
the 33 1/3% limitation;

(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;

(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;

(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments
backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real
estate business);

(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not
prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures
contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed
by physical commodities); or

(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more
than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to
repurchase agreements.

(9) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment
policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a
single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity
Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.

THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL:

(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short,
unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that
transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to
constitute selling securities short.

(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on
margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are
necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin
payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(iii) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a
registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse
repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements
are treated as borrowings for purposes of fundamental investment
limitation (3)). The fund will not borrow from other funds advised by
FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings immediately
after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total assets.

(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if,
as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in
securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be
sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the prices at which they are valued.

(v) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 7.5%
of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or
portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser
or (b) acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct
debt instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated
unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply
to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)

(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company
managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or
successor with substantially the same fundamental investment
objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

With respect to limitation (iv), if through a change in values, net
assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more
than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
on page 4.

The fund intends to comply with the requirements of Section
12(d)(1)(G)(i)(IV) of the 1940 Act.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which the fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of the fund's investment objective, and a summary of related
risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these
techniques unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve
its goal.

AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be,
"affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These
transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks;
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50
largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S.
Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are
primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions;
and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees
has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to
transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES represent interests in pools of mortgages,
loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment
of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by
the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by
letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors
including changes in interest rates, the availability of information
concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the
servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or
receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In
addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other
funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase
agreements. If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject
to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund
makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this
may be considered a form of leverage.

CASH MANAGEMENT. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it
in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase
agreements or shares of money market funds. Generally, these
securities offer less potential for gains than other types of
securities.

CENTRAL CASH FUNDS are money market funds managed by FMR or its
affiliates that seek to earn a high level of current income (free from
federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The funds comply with
industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the
quality, maturity and diversification of their investments.

DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY is derived by multiplying
the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity,
adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of
the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined
on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions
to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument
will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call,
refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument
will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be
its maturity date. Also, the maturities of mortgage securities,
including collateralized mortgage obligations, and some asset-backed
securities are determined on a weighted average life basis, which is
the average time for principal to be repaid. For a mortgage security,
this average time is calculated by estimating the timing of principal
payments, including unscheduled prepayments, during the life of the
mortgage. The weighted average life of these securities is likely to
be substantially shorter than their stated final maturity.

EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN MARKETS. Foreign securities, foreign currencies,
and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign
operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks
inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political,
economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or
unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by
actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S.
investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization
of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or
on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S.
dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental
issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest
and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for
payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able
to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In
addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies
and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities
will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in
emerging markets, which may have relatively unstable governments,
economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that
trade a small number of securities.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following paragraphs pertain to futures and
options: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures
Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options
Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and
Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put
and Call Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.

COMBINED POSITIONS involve purchasing and writing options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the
overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a
call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a
combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to
selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would
involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call
option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option
in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options
positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction
costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of
types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely
that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's
current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in
options and futures contracts based on securities with different
issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in
which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the
options or futures position will not track the performance of the
fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a
fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by
such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates,
changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time
remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect
security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result
from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and
the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and
futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price
fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell
options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to
attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions
are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may
fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not
offset by gains in other investments.

FUTURES CONTRACTS. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future
date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a
specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price
at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer
and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures
contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury
bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices.
Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out
before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore,
purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure
to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying
instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument
directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value
of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to
the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset
both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the
underlying instrument had been sold.

FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract
is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless
the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the
purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a
futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the
contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal
to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either
party's position declines, that party will be required to make
additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value
on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive
all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a
fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an
FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to
return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received
by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the
fund.

LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. The fund has filed a
notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets. The fund intends to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.

In addition, the fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase
put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of
the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under
normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options
if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or
exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would
exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a
result, the current value of option premiums for call options
purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets.
These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or
traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to
securities that incorporate features similar to options.

The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts
and options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and
options discussed elsewhere in this SAI, may be changed as regulatory
agencies permit.

LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or
futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively
low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close
to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges
may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures
contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days
when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out
existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could
prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially
could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or
expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's
access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions
could also be impaired.

OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized
with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract
size, and strike price, the terms of over-the-counter (OTC) options
(options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through
negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this
type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility
to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve
greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed
by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, the
purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the
option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for
this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option
(known as the option premium). Options have various types of
underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of
securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate
its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising
the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will
lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser
completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A
purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary
market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if
security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying
instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of
purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss
(limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction
costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right
to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the
option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate
in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk
limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same
time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not
rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The writer of a put or call option takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation
to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the
other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek
to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out
the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the
secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer
must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on
a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to
an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to
profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the
premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it
is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able
to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the
put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less
than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly,
however, because the premium received for writing the option should
mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the
option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon
exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options
are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls
generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall.
Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the
effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer
must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for
the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer
gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES c annot be sold or disposed of in the
ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or
may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and,
through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid
securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR
may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume
of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective
purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a
market and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it
trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics
and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other
credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the
method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the
security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and
obligations of the security).

INDEXED SECURITIES are instruments whose prices are indexed to the
prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other
financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always,
are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate
is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Mortgage-indexed securities, for example, could be structured to
replicate the performance of mortgage securities and the
characteristics of direct ownership.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which
they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes
in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also
subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the
security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's
creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities
have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government
agencies.

INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive
order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money
from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will lend
through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from an investment in repurchase agreements, and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the
cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a
higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.
Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost
investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

INVESTMENT-GRADE DEBT SECURITIES. Investment-grade debt securities are
medium and high-quality securities. Some may possess speculative
characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to
changes in the financial conditions of issuers. A debt security is
considered to be investment-grade if it is rated investment-grade by
Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit
Rating Co., or Fitch IBCA Inc., or is unrated but considered to be of
equivalent quality by FMR.

LOWER-QUALITY DEBT SECURITIES. Lower-quality debt securities
have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and
repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are
often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or
price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The
market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than
those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly
in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of
rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and
less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can
adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity
of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing
services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt
securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially
important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt
to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial
condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is
expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative
values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset
coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial
strength of the issuer.

MORTGAGE SECURITIES are issued by government and non-government
entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other institutions. A
mortgage security is an obligation of the issuer backed by a mortgage
or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of
mortgages. Some mortgage securities, such as collateralized mortgage
obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments of both principal and interest
at a range of specified intervals; others make semiannual interest
payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity (like
a typical bond). Mortgage securities are based on different types of
mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential
properties. Stripped mortgage securities are created when the interest
and principal components of a mortgage security are separated and sold
as individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage security,
the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the
principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the holder
of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from
the same underlying mortgage.

Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are pass-through securities issued by
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,
which guarantee payment of interest and repayment of principal on
Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs, respectively, are federally chartered
corporations supervised by the U.S. Government that act as
governmental instrumentalities under authority granted by Congress.
Fannie Mae is authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet its
obligations. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The value of mortgage securities may change due to shifts in the
market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In
addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage
securities market as a whole. Non-government mortgage securities may
offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also
may be subject to greater price changes than government issues.
Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk
that early principal payments made on the underlying mortgages,
usually in response to a reduction in interest rates, will result in
the return of principal to the investor, causing it to be invested
subsequently at a lower current interest rate. Alternatively, in a
rising interest rate environment, mortgage security values may be
adversely affected when prepayments on underlying mortgages do not
occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security's
effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate
sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of stripped
mortgage securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in
interest rates than those of non-stripped mortgage securities.

In order to earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a
trading strategy that involves selling mortgage securities and
simultaneously agreeing to purchase similar securities on a later date
at a set price. This trading strategy may result in an increased
portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable
gains.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve an agreement to purchase a security and
to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon
price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate
or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk
that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus
the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased
may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has
agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could
result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
insolvent. The fund will engage in repurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES are subject to legal restrictions on their sale.
Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to
a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately
negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering.
Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security
may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a
considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek
registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under
an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse
market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that
security at an agreed-upon price and time. The fund will enter into
reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's
yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Because there
may be delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of
rights in collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially,
loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good
standing. Furthermore, they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment,
the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk.

FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that a
fund may engage in loan transactions only under the following
conditions: (1) the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of
cash or cash equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the
borrower; (2) the borrower must increase the collateral whenever the
market value of the securities loaned (determined on a daily basis)
rises above the value of the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the
fund must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (4) the fund must
receive reasonable interest on the loan or a flat fee from the
borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest, or
other distributions on the securities loaned and to any increase in
market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable custodian fees in
connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees must be able
to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by terminating the
loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with the borrower.

SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various
forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of
credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided
by domestic and foreign entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the
credit or liquidity enhancement provider in determining whether to
purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the
credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider
whether adequate public information about the entity is available and
whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic
developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that
might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the
credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect
the value of the security or a fund's share price.

STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal
components of a debt security. The risks associated with stripped
securities are similar to those of other debt securities, although
stripped securities may be more volatile, and the value of certain
types of stripped securities may move in the same direction as
interest rates. U.S. Treasury securities that have been stripped by a
Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury.

Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer
deposits a U.S. Treasury security or other U.S. Government security
with a custodian for safekeeping. The custodian issues separate
receipts for the coupon payments and the principal payment, which the
dealer then sells.

SWAP AGREEMENTS can be individually negotiated and structured to
include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or
market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may
increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest
rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values,
mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such
as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many
different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments
only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a
fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap
obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified
interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an
interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a
specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest
rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from
one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to
exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the
swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S.
interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and
interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or
writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may
increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments
and its share price and yield.

The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is
the change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors
that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a
swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be
prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the
counterparty's creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap
agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.
A fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement
either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an
offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly
creditworthy party.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POLICIES. The fund reserves the right to
invest without limitation in investment-grade money market or
short-term debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments
in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities
provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate,
while floating rate securities have interest rates that change
whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate. Some
variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features
that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance
plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial
intermediaries.

WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD PURCHASE OR SALE TRANSACTIONS
involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place
after the customary settlement period for that type of security.
Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is
delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions,
the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the
risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security
will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities
is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition
to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains
substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding,
the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a
security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not
participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security.
If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver
or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or
yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may
sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in
capital gains or losses for the fund.

ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make interest payments; instead, they are
sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of
fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a
fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon
bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and investment
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser. In
selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the
federal securities laws, FMR considers various relevant factors,
including, but not limited to: the size and type of the transaction;
the nature and character of the markets for the security to be
purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability,
and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's
execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness
of any commissions; and, if applicable, arrangements for payment of
fund expenses.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see
the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described
above.

Generally, commissions for investments traded on foreign exchanges
will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may
not be subject to negotiation.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the fund or other
investment accounts over which FMR or its affiliates exercise
investment discretion. Such services may include advice concerning the
value of securities; the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or
selling securities; and the availability of securities or the
purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such broker-dealers
may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and
performance of investment accounts; and effect securities transactions
and perform functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and
settlement).

For transactions in fixed-income securities, FMR's selection of
broker-dealers is generally based on the availability of a security
and its price and, to a lesser extent, on the overall quality of
execution and other services, including research, provided by the
broker-dealer.

The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions
on behalf of a fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment
management services to that fund or its other clients, and conversely,
such research provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction
orders on behalf of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying
out its obligations to a fund. The receipt of such research has not
reduced FMR's normal independent research activities; however, it
enables FMR to avoid the additional expenses that could be incurred if
FMR tried to develop comparable information through its own efforts.

Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from an issuer or
underwriter acting as principal for the securities, on a net basis
with no brokerage commission paid. However, the dealer is compensated
by a difference between the security's original purchase price and the
selling price, the so-called "bid-asked spread." Securities may also
be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting
fees.

Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, the
fund may pay a broker-dealer commissions for agency transactions that
are in excess of the amount of commissions charged by other
broker-dealers in recognition of their research and execution
services. In order to cause the fund to pay such higher commissions,
FMR must determine in good faith that such commissions are reasonable
in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in terms of a
particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to that fund
or its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation
should be related to those services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, FMR is authorized to
allocate portfolio transactions in a manner that takes into account
assistance received in the distribution of shares of the funds or
other Fidelity funds and to use the research services of brokerage and
other firms that have provided such assistance. FMR may use research
services provided by and place agency transactions with National
Financial Services Corporation (NFSC) and Fidelity Brokerage Services
Japan LLC (FBSJ), indirect subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if the
commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions
charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar
services. Prior to December 9, 1997, FMR used research services
provided by and placed agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage
Services (FBS), an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to broker-dealers (including
affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under
which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the commissions paid by
a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses. The transaction
quality must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified
broker-dealers.

Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions
for investment accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless
certain requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the
Board of Trustees has authorized NFSC to execute portfolio
transactions on national securities exchanges in accordance with
approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.

The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio
transactions on behalf of the fund and review the commissions paid by
the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended February 28, 1999 and 1998, the fund's
portfolio turnover rates were ___% and ___%, respectively. [Variations
in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of shareholder
purchase and redemption orders, market conditions.]

[For the fiscal years ended February 1999, 1998 and 1997, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $________, $_________, and $________,
respectively. Significant changes in brokerage commissions paid by the
fund from year to year may result from changing asset levels
throughout the year. The fund may pay both commissions and spreads in
connection with the placement of portfolio transactions.] [For the
fiscal years ended February 1999, 1998, and 1997, the fund paid no
brokerage commissions.]

[During the fiscal years ended February 1999, 1998 and 1997, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $_______, $_______, and $_______,
respectively, to NFSC. NFSC is paid on a commission basis. During the
fiscal year ended February 1999, this amounted to approximately __% of
the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions
involving approximately __% of the aggregate dollar amount of
transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions.] [The
difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions
paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of
transactions effected through, NFSC is a result of the low commission
rates charged by NFSC.] [NFSC has used a portion of the commissions
paid by the fund to reduce that fund's custodian or transfer agent
fees.]

[During the fiscal years ended February 1999, 1998 and 1997, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $_____, $_____ and $_____, respectively,
to FBS. FBS is paid on a commission basis.] [During the fiscal year
ended February 1999, this amounted to approximately __% of the
aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions
involving approximately __% of the aggregate dollar amount of
transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions. [The
difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions
paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of
transactions effected through, FBS is a result of the low commission
rates charged by FBS.] [FBS has used a portion of the commissions paid
by the fund to reduce that fund's custodian or transfer agent fees.]

[During the fiscal years ended February 1999, 1998 and 1997, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $_____, $_____ and $_____, respectively,
to FBSJ. FBSJ is paid on a commission basis. During the fiscal year
ended February 1999, this amounted to approximately __% of the
aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the fund for transactions
involving approximately __% of the aggregate dollar amount of
transactions for which the fund paid brokerage commissions. The
difference between the percentage of aggregate brokerage commissions
paid to, and the percentage of the aggregate dollar amount of
transactions effected through, FBSJ is a result of the low commission
rates charged by FBSJ. FBSJ has used a portion of the commissions paid
by the fund to reduce that fund's custodian or transfer agent fees.]

[During the fiscal year ended February, 1999, the fund paid $__ in
brokerage commissions to firms that provided research services
involving approximately $__ of transactions. The provision of research
services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all this
business with such firms.] [During the fiscal year ended February,
1999, the fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms that provided
research services.]

The Trustees of the fund have approved procedures in conformity with
Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities
that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR
participates. These procedures prohibit the fund from directly or
indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such
underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate
participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may
apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities
that the fund could purchase in the underwriting.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for
the benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions
or similar fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at
present no other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees
intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are
available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the
exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for
the fund to seek such recapture.

Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the
same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates,
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of
other funds managed by FMR or investment accounts managed by FMR
affiliates. It sometimes happens that the same security is held in the
portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and
investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment
objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or
sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in
accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable
for each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to
participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and
prices for the fund. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that
the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund
outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to
simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a
single share. The NAV of the fund is computed by adding the value of
the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its
liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares
outstanding.

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the
primary market or exchange on which they trade. Fixed-income
securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily
available may be valued at market values determined by such
securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal
market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally
are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or
assets.

Or, fixed-income securities and convertible securities may be valued
on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a
valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations
and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has
been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services
are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or
discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available. Securities of other open-end investment
companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign
securities in their local currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates
daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the
local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities
from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the
value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days
to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that
is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security
occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security
is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a
committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing
service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the
value of the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a
committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would
more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For
example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily
available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith
determination of the value of a security, the committee may review
price movements in futures contracts and American Depositary Receipts
(ADRs), market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and
off-exchange institutional trading.

PERFORMANCE

The fund may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the fund in advertising is historical and is
not intended to indicate future returns. The fund's share price, yield
and return fluctuate in response to market conditions and other
factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be more or
less than their original cost.

YIELD CALCULATIONS Yields for the fund are computed by dividing the
fund's interest and income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net
of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive
distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's
NAV at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming
compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage
rate. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in
accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond
funds. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds
trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of
the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with
respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the
discount to daily income. For the fund's investments denominated in
foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their
respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either
when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one
month period, whichever is earlier. Income is adjusted to reflect
gains and losses from principal repayments received by a fund with
respect to mortgage-related securities and other asset-backed
securities. Other capital gains and losses generally are excluded from
the calculation as are gains and losses from currency exchange rate
fluctuations.

Income calculated for the purposes of calculating the fund's yield
differs from income as determined for other accounting purposes.
Because of the different accounting methods used, and because of the
compounding of income assumed in yield calculations, the fund's yield
may not equal its distribution rate, the income paid to your account,
or the income reported in the fund's financial statements.

Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance
and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment
alternatives. However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments
that pay a fixed interest rate over a stated period of time. When
comparing investment alternatives, investors should also note the
quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.

Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates
the fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing
market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield
will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling,
the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous sale of
its shares will likely be invested in instruments producing lower
yields than the balance of the fund's holdings, thereby reducing the
fund's current yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be expected to occur.

R ETURN CALCULATIONS. Returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of the fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting
dividends and capital gain distributions, and any change in the fund's
NAV over a stated period. A cumulati ve return ref lects actual
performance over a stated period of time. Average annua l returns
are calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a
hypothetical historical investment in the fund over a stated period,
and then calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that
would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline
in value had been constant over the period. For example, a cumulative
return of 100% over ten years would produce an average annual return
of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return that would equal
100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual
returns are a convenient means of comparing investment
alternatives, investors should realize that the fund's performance is
not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that
average annual returns r epresent averaged figures as opposed to
the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.

In addition to average annual returns, the fund may quote unaveraged
or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative
return s may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount,
and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of
investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period.
Returns may be broken down into their components of income and
capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) in order
to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their
contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax
or after-tax basis. Returns, yields and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.

NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using the fund's NAVs, adjusted
NAVs, and benchmark indexes may be used to exhibit performance. An
adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund and reflects
all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the fund's
adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.

performance for the fund.

The following table shows the income and capital elements of the
fund's cumulative return. The tables compare the fund's return to the
record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living, as measured by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), over the same period. The CPI information
is as of the month-end closest to the initial investment date for the
fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how the
fund's return compared to the record of a broad unmanaged index of
common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial
companies, respectively, over the same period. Because the fund
invests in fixed-income securities, common stocks represent a
different type of investment from the fund. Common stocks generally
offer greater growth potential than the fund, but generally experience
greater price volatility, which means greater potential for loss. In
addition, common stocks generally provide lower income than a
fixed-income investment such as the fund. The S&P 500 and DJIA returns
are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the
fund's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or
other costs of investing.

During the period from March 8, 1990 (commencement of operations) to
February 28, 1999 a hypothetical $100,000 investment in U.S. Bond
Index would have grown to $______, assuming all distributions were
reinvested. Returns are based on past results and are not an
indication of future performance. Tax consequences of different
investments have not been factored into the figures below.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $100,000 in the fund
on March 8, 1990, the net amount invested in fund shares was $100,000.
The cost of the initial investment ($100,000) together with the
aggregate cost of reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions
for the period covered (their cash value at the time they were
reinvested) amounted to $______. If distributions had not been
reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time
would have been smaller, and cash payments for the period would have
amounted to $______ for dividends and $_____ for capital gain
distributions.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. The fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed
as mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
(Lipper), an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that
monitors the performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings
are based on return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take
sales charges or trading fees into consideration, and are prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, the fund's performance
may be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund
performance indexes prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When
comparing these indexes, it is important to remember the risk and
return characteristics of each type of investment. For example, while
stock mutual funds may offer higher potential returns, they also carry
the highest degree of share price volatility. Likewise, money market
funds may offer greater stability of principal, but generally do not
offer the higher potential returns available from stock mutual funds.

From time to time, the fund's performance may also be compared to
other mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and
periodicals. For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its
advertising materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating
service that rates mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted
performance. Rankings that compare the performance of Fidelity funds
to one another in appropriate categories over specific periods of time
may also be quoted in advertising. The fund may advertise risk
ratings, including symbols or numbers, prepared by independent rating
agencies.

The fund's performance may also be compared to that of the benchmark
index representing the universe of securities in which the fund may
invest. The return of the index reflects reinvestment of all dividends
and capital gains paid by securities included in the index. Unlike the
fund's returns, however, the index's returns do not reflect brokerage
commissions, transaction fees, or other costs of investing directly in
the securities included in the index.

U.S. Bond Index may also compare its performance to the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a market value-weighted index for
investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government,
corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities. Issues
included in the index have an outstanding par value of at least $100
million and maturities of at least one year. Government and corporate
issues include all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury (excluding
flower bonds and foreign-targeted issues) and U.S. Government
agencies, as well as nonconvertible investment-grade, SEC-registered
corporate debt. Mortgage-backed securities include 15- and 30-year
fixed-rate securities backed by mortgage pools of the Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC), and Fannie Mae. Asset-backed securities include
credit card, auto, and home equity loans.

The fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks or other depository
institutions. Mutual funds differ from bank investments in several
respects. For example, the fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, the fund does not guarantee your principal
or your return, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals
understand their investment goals and explore various financial
strategies. Such information may include information about current
economic, market, and political conditions; materials that describe
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation,
diversification, risk tolerance, and goal setting; questionnaires
designed to help create a personal financial profile; worksheets used
to project savings needs based on assumed rates of inflation and
hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.

Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the United States,
including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term
government bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on
the CPI), and combinations of various capital markets. The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indexes.

Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in
order to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.
Performance comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of these capital markets. The risks associated with
the security types in any capital market may or may not correspond
directly to those of the funds. Ibbotson calculates returns in the
same method as the funds. The funds may also compare performance to
that of other compilations or indexes that may be developed and made
available in the future.

In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its
products and services, which may include other Fidelity funds;
retirement investing; brokerage products and services; model
portfolios or allocations; saving for college or other goals; and
charitable giving. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals as they relate to
current economic and political conditions, fund management, portfolio
composition, investment philosophy, investment techniques, the
desirability of owning a particular mutual fund, and Fidelity services
and products. Fidelity may also reprint, and use as advertising and
sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus(Registered trademark),
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.

The fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.

VOLATILITY. The fund may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, the fund may
compare these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
seek to compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or
returns to those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation
indicate how valid a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of
volatility and correlation are calculated using averages of historical
data. In advertising, the fund may also discuss or illustrate examples
of interest rate sensitivity.

MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate the fund's price movements over specific
periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents the
fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.

The fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In such a
program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are
high and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does
not assure a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the
investor's average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers
of shares are purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a
plan, investors should consider their ability to continue purchasing
shares during periods of low price levels.

The fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or
other programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes,
which may produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a
$1,000 investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have
an after-tax value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was
deducted from the return each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent
tax-deferred investment would have an after-tax value of $2,100 after
ten years, assuming tax was deducted at a 31% rate from the
tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year period.

As of February 28, 1999, FMR advised over $__ billion in municipal
fund assets, $__ billion in taxable fixed-income fund assets, $__
billion in money market fund assets, $___ billion in equity fund
assets, $__ billion in international fund assets, and $___ billion in
Spartan fund assets. The fund may reference the growth and variety of
money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and
participation in the industry. The equity funds under management
figure represents the largest amount of equity fund assets under
management by a mutual fund investment adviser in the United States,
making FMR America's leading equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its
subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain a worldwide information and
communications network for the purpose of researching and managing
investments abroad.

In addition to performance rankings, the fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds
tracked by Lipper. The fund's total expense ratio is a significant
factor in comparing bond and money market investments because of its
effect on yield.

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash
payments undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in
part in securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they
are valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving
securities or other property on redemption may realize a gain or loss
for tax purposes, and will incur any costs of sale, as well as the
associated inconveniences.

The fund, in its discretion, may determine to issue its shares "in
kind" in exchange for securities held by the purchaser having a value,
determined in accordance with the fund's policies for valuation of
portfolio securities, equal to the purchase price of the fund shares
issued. The fund will accept for in kind purchases only securities or
other instruments that are appropriate under its investment objective
and policies. In addition, the fund generally will not accept
securities of any issuer unless they are liquid, have a readily
ascertainable market value, and are not subject to restrictions on
resale. All dividends, distributions, and subscription or other rights
associated with the securities become the property of the fund, along
with the securities. Shares purchased in exchange for securities in
kind generally cannot be redeemed for fifteen days following the
exchange in order to allow time for the transfer to settle.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS. Because the fund's income is primarily derived from
interest, dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
Short-term capital gains are taxable as dividends, but do not qualify
for the dividends-received deduction. A portion of the fund's
dividends derived from certain U.S. Government securities and
securities of certain other investment companies may be exempt from
state and local taxation.

CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund's long-term capital gains
distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as
capital gains.

[As of February 28, 1999, the fund had a capital loss carryforward
aggregating approximately $____. This loss carryforward, of which
$___, $___, and $___will expire on February 28, 199_, ____, and ____ ,
respectively, is available to offset future capital gains.]

RETURNS OF CAPITAL. If the fund's distributions exceed its taxable
income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a
portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be
recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of
capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce
each shareholder's cost basis in the fund and result in a higher
reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares
on which the distribution was received are sold.

FOREIGN TAX CREDIT OR DEDUCTION. Foreign governments may
withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by the fund with
respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose
taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities.
Because the fund does not currently anticipate that securities of
foreign issuers will constitute more than 50% of its total assets at
the end of its fiscal year, shareholders should not expect to be
eligible to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on their federal
income tax returns with respect to foreign taxes withheld.

TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income
and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as
a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal
income or excise taxes at the fund level, the fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies.

OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some
of the tax consequences generally affecting the fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine
whether the sale of shares of the fund resulted in a capital gain or
loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income
taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund
distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal
property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to
determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.

A Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred,
and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the
calendar year ended December 31, 1998, the Trustees accrued required
deferred compensation from the funds as follows: Ralph F. Cox, $_____;
Phyllis Burke Davis, $_____; Robert M. Gates, $_____; E. Bradley
Jones, $_____; Donald J. Kirk, $_____; William O. McCoy, $_____;
Gerald C. McDonough, $_____; Marvin L. Mann, $_____; and Thomas R.
Williams, $_____. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected
voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: Ralph
F. Cox, $_____; Marvin L. Mann, $_____; Thomas R. Williams, $_____;
and William O. McCoy, $_____.

[B Compensation figures include cash, and may include amounts
required to be deferred and amounts deferred at the election of

non-interested Trustee: Ralph F. Cox, $__; Phyllis Burke Davis, $__;

William O. McCoy, $__; Gerald C. McDonough, $__; Marvin L. Mann, $__;
and Thomas R. Williams, $__.]

[D Certain of the non-interested Trustees' aggregate compensation from
the fund includes accrued voluntary deferred compensation as follows:
_____.]

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and
amended in November 1996 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must
defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an
additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the
Plan are subject to vesting and are treated as though equivalent
dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of
Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and
representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the
Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the Trustees
under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance
of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan
will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net
income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services
of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the
Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan
without shareholder approval.

[As of _______, 199_, approximately __% of the fund's total
outstanding shares was held by FMR. FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent
company of FMR. By virtue of his ownership interest in FMR Corp., as
described in the "Control of Investment Adviser" section on page 19,
Mr. Edward C. Johnson 3d, President and Trustee of the fund, may be
deemed to be a beneficial owner of these shares. As of the above date,
with the exception of Mr. Johnson 3d's deemed ownership of the fund's
shares, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and officers of
the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than __% of the fund's total
outstanding shares.]

[As of _______, 199_, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and
officers of the fund owned, in the aggregate, less than __% of the
fund's total outstanding shares.]

[As of_______, 199_, the following owned of record or beneficially 5%
or more (up to and including 25%) of the fund's outstanding shares:]

[As of _______, 199_ approximately ____% of the fund's total
outstanding shares were held by ______.]

[A shareholder owning of record or beneficially more than 25% of a
fund's outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That
shareholder's vote could have a more significant effect on matters
presented at a shareholders' meeting than votes of other
shareholders.]

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISER

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR
and FIMM. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two
classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C.
Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter
acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly
by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates
and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson
family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a
shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be
voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), control of a company is
presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than
25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their
ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the
shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be
deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect
to FMR Corp.

At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing
Company, which provides marketing services to various companies within
the Fidelity organization.

Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
investment accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all
employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes
procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
For example, all personal trades in most securities require
pre-clearance, and participation in initial public offerings is
prohibited. In addition, restrictions on the timing of personal
investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds and on short-term
trading have been adopted.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

The fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant
to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Under the terms of its management contract with
the fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the investments of the
fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office
facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments,
compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are
"interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the
fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and
investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the
Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services
necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include
providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization;
supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents,
accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting
shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the
registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and
making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing
management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing
reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the
Trustees.

MANAGEMENT-RELATED EXPENSES. In addition to the management fee payable
to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and
shareholder servicing agent, pricing and bookkeeping agent, and
securities lending agent, the fund pays all of its expenses that are
not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting,
printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal
expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor and non-interested
Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the
fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses,
statements of additional information, notices, and reports to
shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent
agreement, the transfer agent bears the costs of providing these
services to existing shareholders. Other expenses paid by the fund
include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal
securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities
laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may
arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a
party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and
Trustees with respect to litigation.

MANAGEMENT FEE. For the services of FMR under the management contract,
the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of ___%
of the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

For the fiscal years ended February 1999, 1998, and 1997, the fund
paid FMR management fees of $_________, $____________, and
$__________, respectively.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
the fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision
or termination. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense
reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior
to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase the fund's returns and
yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by the fund will lower its
returns and yield.

Effective January 13, 1998, FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
fund if and to the extent that its aggregate operating expenses,
including management fees, were in excess of an annual rate of 0.32%
of its average net assets. For the fiscal years ended February 28
1999, 1998, and 1997, management fees incurred under the fund's
contract prior to reimbursement amounted to $_________, $___________,
and $_________, respectively, and management fees reimbursed by FMR
amounted to $_________, $___________, and $_________, respectively.

SUB-ADVISER FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIMM
pursuant to which FIMM has primary responsibility for choosing
investments for the fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, FMR pays FIMM fees
equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management
contract with the fund. The fees paid to FIMM are not reduced by any
voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect
from time to time.

On behalf of the fund, for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999,
FMR paid FIMM a fee of $_____.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an
affiliate of FMR. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement
calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are
continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses
in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf
of the fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the
Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not
engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plan, as approved by the Trustees, allows the fund and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect
payment by the fund of distribution expenses.

Under the Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR
is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of
its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Plan
specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue,
as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for
expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to
result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services.
In addition, the Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may
pay intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other
service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board
of Trustees has authorized such payments for U.S. Bond Index Fund
shares.

[Payments made by FMR either directly or through FDC to intermediaries
for the fiscal year ended 1999 amounted to $_____.] [FMR made no
payments either directly or through FDC to intermediaries for the
fiscal year ended 1999.]

Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees
noted that the Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than
those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the
extent that the Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in
connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of
fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore,
certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively
under the Plan by local entities with whom shareholders have other
relationships.

The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state
chartered or supervised banks from engaging in the business of
underwriting, selling or distributing securities. Although the scope
of this prohibition under the Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly
defined by the courts or appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes
that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing
shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping
functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions.
However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations
pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates
or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions,
if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the
operation of the fund might occur, including possible termination of
any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided
by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these
occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may
differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments
under the Plan. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

The fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with FIIOC, an
affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FIIOC performs
transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for the
fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives an account fee
and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each account
in the fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts,
these fees are based on account size and fund type. For certain
institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type.
For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are
based on account type and fund type. The account fees are subject to
increase based on postage rate changes.

FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer
agent services. In addition, FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

The fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with FSC, an
affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreement, FSC calculates the
NAV and dividends for the fund, maintains the fund's portfolio and
general accounting records, and administers the fund's securities
lending program.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly
fee based on the fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are
0.0275% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0175% of
average net assets between $500 million and $3 billion, and 0.0010% of
average net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fee, not including
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, is limited to a minimum of
$60,000 per year.

For the fiscal years ended February 28, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the fund
paid FSC pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for
related out-of-pocket expenses, of $____, $____, and $____,
respectively.

For administering the fund's securities lending program, FSC receives
fees based on the number and duration of individual securities loans.

[For the fiscal years ended February, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the fund
paid no securities lending fees.] [For the fiscal years ended February
28, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the fund paid securities lending fees of
$__, $__, and $__, respectively.]

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund is a fund of
Fidelity Concord Street Trust, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 10, 1987
and supplemented December 1, 1988. On May 13, 1997, Fidelity Concord
Street Trust changed its name from Fidelity Institutional Trust to
Fidelity Concord Street Trust. Currently, there are five funds in the
trust: Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund, Spartan Extended Market Index
Fund, Spartan International Index Fund, Spartan Total Market Index
Fund, and Spartan U.S. Equity Fund. The Trustees are permitted to
create additional funds in the trust.

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of
each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets
of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and
expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust
shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

SHAREHOLDER LIABIL ITY. The trust is an entity commonly known as
a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any
claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase
price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or
instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees
relating to the trust shall include a provision limiting the
obligations created thereby to the trust and its assets.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each
fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of
his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his
or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the
defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund
itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in
view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
remote.

VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each
dollar of net asset value that you own. The voting rights of
shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be
voted in the aggregate, by fund and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully
paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading
"Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or any of its funds may be terminated upon the sale of its
assets to another open-end management investment company, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by a vote of
shareholders of the trust or the fund. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are
entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for
distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a
fund, shareholders of that fund are entitled to receive the underlying
assets of the fund available for distribution.

CUSTODIAN. The Bank of New York, 110 Washington Street, New York, New
York, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is
responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment
of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The Chase Manhattan
Bank, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose
custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement
transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and members
of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions
with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain
funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include
mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of
FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.
AUDITOR. _________ serves as the fund's independent accountant. The
auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other
audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1999, and report of the auditor, are
included in the fund's Annual Report and are incorporated herein by
reference.

changes and income) performance of common stocks publicly traded in
the United States.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

FUND BASICS

INVESTMENT DETAILS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

BT normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in common stocks
included in the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged
index of common stock prices. The S&P 500 broadly represents the
performance of common stocks publicly traded in the United States. In
the future, FMR may, subject to shareholders' approval and 30 days'
notice, select another index if that index is deemed more
representative of the performance of U.S. common stocks.

The fund may not always hold all of the same securities as the S&P
500. BT may choose, if extraordinary circumstances warrant, to exclude
an index stock from the fund and substitute a similar stock if doing
so will help the fund achieve its objective.

The fund seeks to achieve a 98% or better correlation between its
total return and the total return of the index. The fund may not track
the index perfectly because differences between the index and the
fund's portfolio can cause differences in performance. In addition,
expenses and transaction costs, the size and frequency of cash flows
into and out of the fund, and differences between how and when the
fund and the index are valued can cause differences in performance.

BT may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other
institutions to earn income for the fund.
BT may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures
contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing
security prices or other factors that affect security values. If BT's
strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its
objective.

DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL SECURITY TYPES

EQUITY SECURITIES represent an ownership interest, or the right to
acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity
securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority
in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities
include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and
warrants.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price
changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates
and in response to other economic, political or financial
developments. The fund's reactions to these developments will be
affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the
financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic
location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the
securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares of the fund, they
could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following factors may significantly affect the fund's performance:

STOCK MARKET VOLATILITY. The value of equity securities fluctuates in
response to issuer, political, market and economic developments. In
the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response
to these developments. Different parts of the market and different
types of equity securities can react differently to these
developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently than
small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently than
"value" stocks. Issuer, political or economic developments can affect
a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or
geographic region, or the market as a whole.

ISSUER-SPECIFIC CHANGES. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general
economic or political conditions can affect the value of an issuer's
securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known
issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

In response to market, economic, political or other conditions, BT may
temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive
purposes. If BT does so, different factors could affect the fund's
performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change
only by shareholder approval.

VALUING SHARES

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open.

The fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single
share. Fidelity(registered trademark) normally calculates the fund's
NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the
NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the
purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of
amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available for a
security or if a security's value has been materially affected by
events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which
the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or
market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board
of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's
valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining
value.
