Dear Shareholder:
Disappointing third quarter corporate earnings announcements resulted in negative performance for many major U.S. equity indexes through the first nine months of 2000. A weak euro and the highest oil prices in 10 years frightened many investors into selling shares of large U.S. corporations with multinational presence. In fixed-income markets, 30-year Treasury prices also dropped, and these securities outyielded 10-year Treasury notes for the first time since January.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through diversification. Freedom Funds are already diversified because they invest in stock, bond and money market funds with both domestic and foreign exposures. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Semiannual Report
Fidelity Freedom Income Fund®
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the fund's total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on October 17, 1996. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Fidelity Freedom Income Composite Index, a hypothetical combination of the following unmanaged indices: the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and the Lehman Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index according to the composite benchmark weightings. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Freedom Income Fund on October 17, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by September 30, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $14,239 - a 42.39% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, 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, did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $12,885 - a 28.85% increase. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment in the Fidelity Freedom Income Composite Index would have grown to $14,056 - a 40.56% increase.

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

Semiannual Report
Market Recap
In May, the Federal Reserve Board made its latest, largest and potentially its last in a series of interest-rate hikes to slow the U.S. economy. Apparently, the Fed's actions were successful. As data emerged that indicated clear signs of an economic slowdown, the Fed bypassed opportunities to raise rates for the remainder of the six-month period ending September 30, 2000. In response, the U.S. stock market had mixed results. The prospect of a decelerating U.S. economy was particularly hard on tech stocks, as illustrated by the six-month return of -19.60% for the NASDAQ Composite Index. Investors abandoned tech and gravitated toward sectors that traditionally hold up better in a slower-growth climate, such as health care and energy. But as the period progressed, two events threatened to slow growth further: surging oil prices and a weak European currency. This resulted in a flurry of disappointing third-quarter earnings announcements, leaving many U.S. equity indexes with negative returns. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, for example, fell 3.60% during the six-month period, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 1.71%. Anticipation that the Fed was done raising rates, combined with persistent flights-to-safety from risk-averse investors concerned about volatility in equity markets, helped lift bonds over stocks during the period. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index - a popular measure of taxable-bond performance - returned 4.81%.

An interview with Scott Stewart (right) and Ren Cheng, Portfolio Managers of Fidelity Freedom Funds
Q. How did the funds perform, Scott?
S.S. Every portfolio outperformed its benchmark. For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2000, the Income, 2000 and 2010 portfolios returned 2.89%, 1.75% and 0.21%, respectively. The 2020 and 2030 portfolios returned -1.42% and -2.28%, respectively, during the same period. Each Freedom Fund compares its performance to a composite benchmark, which comprises various indexes and reflects the fund's target allocation mix. During the past six months, the composite benchmarks for the Income, 2000 and 2010 portfolios returned 2.34%, 0.92%, and -0.99%, respectively. The composite benchmarks for the 2020 and 2030 portfolios returned -3.04% and -4.09%, respectively, during the same period.

Q. Turning to you Ren, what factors helped the Freedom portfolios outperform their benchmarks during the six-month period?
R.C. The portfolios did what we designed them to do: tap into the value of Fidelity's fundamental stock picking talent without taking on any significant risk beyond that of the benchmarks. During the past six months - a period of tremendous volatility - the investment structure of the Freedom portfolios held up well. We accomplished this performance by monitoring the aggregate risk of each portfolio, making sure risk was closely correlated with each benchmark. Through this analysis, we attempted to limit the downside of the portfolio during periods of extreme market conditions, such as the one we just experienced. Additionally, the portfolios' structure kept each of them diversified across a variety of analytical measures, including sectors, industries, investment objectives and market capitalizations. This diversification, and our management discipline that monitors these various characteristics, also prevented the portfolios from suffering too much during the extreme market swings, such as the technology correction in the spring. At the same time, the diversification benefited the portfolios when market sentiment favored other areas, such as pharmaceuticals and financials.
Q. Why did the performance of the 2020 and 2030 portfolios suffer in comparison to the shorter-term portfolios?
R.C. Those two portfolios are more aggressive than the other portfolios. Given that the Freedom Funds are designed for investors to take on age-appropriate risk in their investments, the portfolios have varying degrees of asset allocation. The 2020 and 2030 portfolios, as well as the recently launched 2040 portfolio, each have a higher concentration of underlying Fidelity equity funds than the other, more-conservative portfolios in the group. Equities, both international and domestic, performed worse than bonds during the past six months. As a result, the absolute performance of the longer-term portfolios declined more than the Income, 2000 and 2010 portfolios, which held higher concentrations of fixed-income and money market funds.
Q. Which investment categories performed well? Which underperformed?
R.C. The only investment categories to show positive returns during the past six months were the bond and money market fund categories, which held up relatively well compared to the slumping equity markets. Our holdings in underlying bond funds boosted returns. On the downside, the high-yield portion of the portfolios underperformed on both an absolute and relative basis, in part because the high-yield market had a higher-than-expected default rate. Among our equity categories, the portfolios' domestic holdings were hurt by a technology correction, reflected most notably in the negative returns of OTC Portfolio and Growth Company. At the same time, the portfolios' investments in other underlying domestic equity funds, such as Equity Income and Growth & Income, generated positive returns. On the international front, the devaluation of the euro and historically high oil prices hurt our positions in all five underlying international funds, which delivered negative returns. Holdings in the Southeast Asia and Japan funds suffered the most due to region-specific issues.

Q. What is your outlook, Ren?
R.C. I expect market volatility to continue, but at the same time I am confident the Freedom Funds will continue to perform well relative to their benchmarks. The portfolios are designed to attempt to control the downside of volatile market swings, such as those that occurred during the period. Historical analysis has shown that if one can control a portfolio's risk during sharp market declines in the short-term, the long-term performance of the portfolio will be that much better. In essence, if you can control the downside, the upside should take care of itself. We'll gradually reallocate each Freedom Fund's target investment mix during the coming months. The table below illustrates the target mix we'd like to achieve for each fund by the next time we address our shareholders on March 31, 2001.

Fund Facts
Goal: The Income Fund seeks high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation. The 2000, 2010, 2020, 2030 and 2040 Funds each seek high total return. Each Fund seeks to achieve its goal by investing in a combination of underlying Fidelity equity, fixed-income and money market funds.
Fund numbers: Income (369); 2000 (370); 2010 (371); 2020 (372); 2030 (373); 2040 (718)
Trading symbol: FFFAX; FFFBX; FFFCX; FFFDX; FFFEX; FFFFF
Size: as of September 30, 2000, more than $379 million (Income); $656 million (2000); $2.1 billion (2010); $1.7 billion (2020); $1.2 billion (2030); $4 million (2040)
Managers: Ren Cheng, since inception; manager, various structured investments for Fidelity Management Trust Company; joined Fidelity in 1994; Scott Stewart, since inception; manager, Fidelity Fifty, 1993 - 1999; founder and head of Fidelity's Structured Equity Group, since 1987; joined Fidelity in 1987
3Ren Cheng on his structured investment process:
"In making investment decisions, I regularly compare the aggregate holdings of all the underlying funds in each Freedom Fund. I compare the risk characteristics of each asset class - domestic, international, bond, high yield, and money market - to those of the benchmarks. Since risk control is the key component of our investment strategy, I may, as necessary, adjust the asset allocation of the Funds if a specific measurement, such as industry weight or capitalization, falls too far out of line with each Fund's benchmark. If, for example, a manager of an underlying growth fund is making a large bet in technology, skewing a Freedom Fund too far in that direction, I may neutralize it by selling some of that underlying fund and buying more of a more value-oriented fund.
"By monitoring the aggregate holdings, I try to maintain an optimal level of risk. Placing a major emphasis on risk control enables the Freedom Funds to benefit from Fidelity's expertise in active stock selection."
Note to shareholders: Effective December 1, 2000, Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund will be added as an underlying fund of the Freedom Funds to provide additional mid-cap exposure.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Freedom Income Fund, Freedom 2000 Fund, Freedom 2010 Fund, Freedom 2020 Fund, Freedom 2030 Fund and Freedom 2040 Fund (the funds) are funds of Fidelity Aberdeen Street Trust (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The funds primarily invest in a combination of other Fidelity equity, fixed income, and money market funds (the Underlying Funds) managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued either at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund, except for Freedom 2040 Fund, is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for the fiscal year. Freedom 2040 Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedules of investments include information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
Investment Income. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the funds in the trust. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income to shareholders of the Freedom Income Fund are paid monthly, while distributions from capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions to shareholders of the other Freedom Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for the short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds and losses deferred due to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will

result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
Security Transactions. Security transactions, normally shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
2. Operating Policies.
Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds, along with other affiliated entities of FMR, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the funds, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Fund shares is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee.Each fund pays a management fee to Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers), an affiliate of FMR. Strategic Advisers receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of .10% of the fund's average net assets. The management fee paid to Strategic Advisers by each fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by each fund to the non-interested Trustees.
Other Transactions. Strategic Advisers has entered into an administration agreement with FMR under which FMR provides management and administrative services (other than investment advisory services) necessary for the operation of each fund. Pursuant to this agreement, FMR pays all expenses of each fund, except the compensation of the non-interested trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses. FMR also contracts with other Fidelity companies to perform the services necessary for the operation of each fund. For the services under the agreement, Strategic Advisers pays FMR a monthly

Other Transactions - continued
administration fee equal to the management fee received by Strategic Advisers, minus an amount equal to an annual rate of .02% of each fund's average net assets.
5. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each fund's total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) above an annual rate of .08% of the fund's average net assets.
In addition, through arrangements with the funds' custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of each applicable fund's expenses. For the period, the reductions under these arrangements are shown under the caption "Other Information" on each applicable fund's Statement of Operations.
6. Beneficial Interest.
At the end of the period, one shareholder was record owner of approximately 13% of the total outstanding shares of the Freedom Income Fund.
