KEY FACTS
THE FUND AT A GLANCE
GOAL: Income while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. As with any
mutual fund, there is no assurance that the fund will achieve its goal.
STRATEGY: Invests in high-quality, short-term domestic money market
securities of all types.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the management
arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946 and is now
America's largest mutual fund manager. FMR Texas Inc. (FTX), a subsidiary
of FMR, chooses investments for the fund.
SIZE: As of August 31, 1995, the fund had over $ 2 billion in assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund may be appropriate for investors who would like to earn income at
current money market rates while preserving the value of their investment.
The fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. The rate of
income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting short-term interest
rates.
The fund does not constitute a balanced investment plan. However, because
it emphasizes stability, it could be well-suited for a portion of your
savings. The fund offers free checkwriting to give you easy access to your
money.

EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy, sell or
hold shares of a fund. See page for more information about these
fees.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and
reinvested distributions None
Deferred sales charge on redemptions None
Exchange fee None
Annual account maintenance fee
(for accounts under $2500) $12.00
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The fund
pays a management fee to FMR. It also incurs other expenses for services
such as maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder
statements and financial reports. The fund's expenses are factored into its
share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page ).
The following are projections based on historical expenses, and are
calculated as a percentage of average net assets.
Management fee . 3 3%
12b-1 fee None
Other expenses .21%
Total fund operating expenses .54%
EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described. For every
$1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you
close your account after the number of years indicated:
After 1 year $ 6
After 3 years $ 17
After 5 years $ 30
After 10 years $ 68
These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
UNDERSTANDING
EXPENSES
Operating a mutual fund
involves a variety of
expenses for portfolio
management, shareholder
statements, tax reporting, and
other services. These costs
are paid from the fund's
assets; their effect is already
factored into any quoted
share price or return.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The table that follows is included in the fund's Annual Report and has been
audited by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants. Their report
on the financial statements and financial highlights is included in the
Annual Report. The financial statements and financial highlights are
incorporated by reference into (are legally a part of) the fund's Statement
of Additional Information.

PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD. The
total returns that follow are based on historical fund results and do not
reflect the effect of taxes.
The fund's fiscal year runs from September 1 through August 31. The tables
below show the fund's performance over past fiscal years compared to a
measure of inflation.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in the fund over a
given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in the fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a yield
assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. government.
The fund's recent strategies, performance, and holdings are detailed twice
a year in financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For
current performance call 1-800-544-8888.
TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS ARE BASED ON PAST RESULTS AND ARE NOT AN
INDICATION OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates
the income earned by a
money market fund over a
recent seven-day period. TOTAL
RETURN reflects both the
reinvestment of income and
the change in a fund's share
price. Since money market
funds maintain a stable $1.00
share price, current seven-day
yields are the most common
illustration of money market
fund performance.

THE FUND IN DETAIL
CHARTER
DAILY INCOME IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. In technical terms, the fund is
currently a diversified fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust II, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on
June 20, 1991.
THE FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
fund, and review performance. The majority of trustees are not otherwise
affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These meetings
may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental policies,
approve a management contract, or for other purposes. Shareholders not
attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy. Fidelity will
mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting card and information
about the proposals to be voted on. You are entitled to one vote for each
share you own.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The fund is managed by FMR, which handles the fund's business affairs. FTX,
located in Irving, Texas, has primary responsibility for providing
investment management services.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) performs transfer agent
servicing functions for the fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FTX. Members of the
Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of shares
of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power of FMR
Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 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, the Johnson family
may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a controlling group with respect
to FMR Corp.
To carry out the fund's transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that the fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
The fund seeks to earn a high level of current income while maintaining a
stable $1.00 share price by investing in high-quality, short-term money
market securities. The fund buys U.S. dollar-denominated securities of
domestic issuers, such as banks and other financial institutions, the U.S.
government and its agencies and instrumentalities, and corporations.
When you sell your shares, they should be worth the same amount as when you
bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the fund will maintain a
stable $1.00 share price. The fund follows industry-standard guidelines on
the quality and maturity of its investments, which are designed to help
maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The fund will purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and
will observe maturity restrictions on securities it buys. In general,
securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes,
although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change
in interest rates or a default on the fund's investments could cause its
share price (and the value of your investment) to change.
The fund earns income at current money market rates. It stresses income,
preservation of capital, and liquidity, and does not seek the higher yields
or capital appreciation that more aggressive investments may provide. The
fund's yield will vary from day to day and generally reflects current
short-term interest rates and other market conditions.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
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.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of the fund's limitations and more detailed information
about the fund's investments are contained in the fund's SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with the fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help the fund achieve its
goal. Current holdings and recent investment strategies are described in
the fund's financial reports which are sent to shareholders twice a year.
For a free SAI or financial report, call 1-800-544-8888.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations issued
by the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions, and other
entities. These obligations may carry fixed, variable, or floating interest
rates. A security's credit may be enhanced by a bank, insurance company, or
other entity. Some money market securities employ a trust or other similar
structure to modify the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of
financial assets so that they are eligible investments for money market
funds. If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or
investment consequences may result.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. government securities
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example,
securities issued by the Federal Farm Credit Bank or by the Federal
National Mortgage Association are supported by the instrumentality's right
to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances.
However, securities issued by the Financing Corporation are supported only
by the credit of the entity that issued them.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages, loans,
receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the
securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed to help
stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt instrument security. Their risks are similar to those of other
money market securities although they may be more volatile.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys a security
at one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in the
fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the issuer
or a financial intermediary. In exchange for this benefit, the fund may pay
periodic fees or accept a lower interest rate. The credit quality of the
investment may be affected by the creditworthiness of the put provider.
Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put
features.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some illiquid securities and some other securities may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result
in a loss or may be costly to the fund.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more
than 10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect the fund's yield or the market value of the fund's assets.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in
any one issuer, except that the fund may invest up to 10% of its total
assets in the highest-quality securities of a single issuer for up to three
days. The fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one
industry (other than the financial services industry; see below). These
limitations do not apply to U.S. government securities.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services industry
are subject to various risks related to that industry, such as government
regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on loans, including
loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests substantially in this
industry, its performance may be affected by conditions affecting the
industry.
BORROWING. The fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make additional
investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: The fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
or engage in reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding
33% of its total assets.
LENDING. The fund may lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of the fund's
total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraph restates all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraph, can be changed without shareholder approval.
The fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with
preserving capital and providing liquidity. The fund will not purchase a
security if, as a result, more than 25% of its total assets would be
invested in a particular industry, except that the fund will invest more
than 25% of its total assets in the financial services industry. The fund
may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not in an amount
exceeding 33% of its total assets. Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed
33% of the fund's total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the fund pays fees related to its daily operations.
Expenses paid out of the fund's assets are reflected in its share price or
dividends; they are neither billed directly to shareholders nor deducted
from shareholder accounts.
The fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services. The fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained at right.
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
at any time without notice, can decrease the fund's expenses and boost its
performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is
calculated by adding two components, one based on the fund assets and one
based on its income.
The first component cannot rise above .10%, and it drops as the fund's
assets exceed $2 billion. The second component is 4% of the fund's monthly
gross income, but the annualized rate cannot rise above .40% nor fall below
.20% of the fund's average net assets for the month.
The total management fee rate for fiscal 1995 was . 33 %.
FMR HAS A SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT with FTX, which has primary responsibility
for providing investment management for the fund, while FMR retains
responsibility for providing other management services. FMR pays FTX 50% of
its management fee (before expense reimbursements) for these services. FMR
paid FTX .17 % of the fund's average net assets for fiscal 1995.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the fund's annual
operating costs, the fund has other expenses as well.
The fund contracts with FSC to perform many transaction and accounting
functions. These services include processing shareholder transactions,
valuing the fund's investments, and handling securities loans. In fiscal
1995, the fund paid FSC fees equal to .19 % of its average net
assets.
The fund also pays other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of trustees who are
not affiliated with Fidelity.
The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan. This plan recognizes
that FMR may use its resources, including management fees, to pay expenses
associated with the sale of fund shares. This may include payments to third
parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that provide shareholder support
services or engage in the sale of the fund's shares. It is important to
note, however, that the fund does not pay FMR any separate fees for this
service.

Individual accounts are owned by one person. Joint accounts can have two or
more owners (tenants).
RETIREMENT

Retirement plans allow individuals to shelter investment income and
capital gains from current taxes. In addition, contributions to these
accounts may be tax deductible. Retirement accounts require special
applications and typically have lower minimums.
(solid bullet) INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS (IRAS) allow anyone of legal
age and under 70 with earned income to invest up to $2,000 per tax year.
Individuals can also invest in a spouse's IRA if the spouse has earned
income of less than $250.
(solid bullet) ROLLOVER IRAS retain special tax advantages for certain
distributions from employer-sponsored retirement plans.
(solid bullet) KEOGH OR CORPORATE PROFIT SHARING AND MONEY PURCHASE PENSION
PLANS allow self-employed individuals or small business owners (and their
employees) to make tax-deductible contributions for themselves and any
eligible employees up to $30,000 per year.
(solid bullet) SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS (SEP-IRAS) provide small
business owners or those with self-employed income (and their eligible
employees) with many of the same advantages as a Keogh, but with fewer
administrative requirements.
(solid bullet) 403(B) CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS are available to employees of most
tax-exempt institutions, including schools, hospitals, and other charitable
organizations.
(solid bullet) 401(K) PROGRAMS allow employees of corporations of all sizes
to contribute a percentage of their wages on a tax-deferred basis. These
accounts need to be established by the trustee of the plan.
GIFTS OR TRANSFERS TO A MINOR (UGMA, UTMA)
TO INVEST FOR A CHILD'S EDUCATION OR OTHER FUTURE NEEDS
These custodial accounts provide a way to give money to a child and obtain
tax benefits. An individual can give up to $10,000 a year per child without
paying federal gift tax. Depending on state laws, you can set up a
custodial account under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) or the
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA).

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
The fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on the
application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. The fund offers three
options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, 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. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
3. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically invested in
another identically registered Fidelity fund.
FOR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over 59 years old, you can receive distributions in cash.
Dividends will be reinvested at the fund's NAV on the last day of the
month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the NAV as
of the record date of the distribution. The mailing of distribution checks
will begin within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the fund
will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement account, be
aware of these tax implications.
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
As a fund shareholder, you
are entitled to your share of
the fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The
fund passes its earnings
along to its investors as
DISTRIBUTIONS.
The fund earns interest from
its investments. These are
passed along as DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund may
realize capital gains if it sells
securities for a higher price
than it paid for them. These
are passed along as CAPITAL
GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Money
market funds usually don't
make capital gain
distributions.
(checkmark)
Distributions are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to
state or local taxes. If you live outside the United States, your
distributions could also be taxed by the country in which you reside. Your
distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash
or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and paid in
January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, the fund's income and short-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions,
if any, are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every January, Fidelity will
send you and the IRS a statement showing the taxable distributions paid to
you in the previous year.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time.
THE FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding.
Like most money market funds, the fund values the securities it owns on the
basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a
security's market value and helps the fund to maintain a stable $1.00 share
price.
THE FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE
(price to sell one share) are its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require the fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity may only be
liable for losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it does not
follow reasonable procedures designed to verify the identity of the caller.
Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and
may also record calls. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation
statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the
ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
THE FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. The fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page . Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would
disrupt management of the fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and
checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each
check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to limit the number of
checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be
cancelled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or its
transfer agent has incurred.
(small solid bullet) You begin to earn dividends as of the first business
day following the day of your purchase.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money order,
U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit instead.
YOU MAY BUY OR SELL SHARES OF THE FUND THROUGH A BROKER, who may charge you
a fee for this service. If you invest through a broker or other
institution, read its program materials for any additional service features
or fees that may apply.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your request is received and accepted. Note the
following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to you on
the next business day, but if making immediate payment could adversely
affect the fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Shares will earn dividends through the date of
redemption; however, shares redeemed on a Friday or prior to a holiday will
continue to earn dividends until the next business day.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day after
your phone call.
(small solid bullet) The fund may hold payment on redemptions until it is
reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity Money Line
have been collected, which can take up to seven business days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when
trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
(small solid bullet) If you sell shares by writing a check and the amount
of the check is greater than the value of your account, your check will be
returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00
from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual
maximum charge of $60.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will
be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened
after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. The fee will not be
deducted from retirement accounts (except non-prototype retirement
accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if total assets in
Fidelity funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the $50,000 waiver is
determined by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund accounts maintained by FSC
or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or which
list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your
account is closed.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to qualified
recipients who support the sale of shares of the fund without reimbursement
from the fund. Qualified recipients are securities dealers who have sold
fund shares or others, including banks and other financial institutions,
under special arrangements in connection with FDC's sales activities. In
some instances, these incentives may be offered only to certain
institutions whose representatives provide services in connection with the
sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund
for shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the following:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you
pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales charge and
any sales charge you have previously paid in connection with the shares you
are exchanging. For example, if you had already paid a sales charge of 2%
on your shares and you exchange them into a fund with a 3% sales charge,
you would pay an additional 1% sales charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) The fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if the
fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant
portions of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that
coincides with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to the fund.
Although the fund will attempt to give you prior notice whenever it is
reasonably able to do so, it may impose these restrictions at any time. The
fund reserves the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege in
the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to $7.50 and redemption fees of up to 1.50% on
exchanges. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

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) of the fund.
However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below,
the investment policies and limitations described in this Statement of
Additional Information 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) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than obligations issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States government, or
its agencies or instrumentalities), if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of
its total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer,
provided, however, that with respect to 25% of its total assets, 10% of its
assets may be invested in the securities of any single issuer, or (b) with
respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund would own more than 10% of the
voting securities of such issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) purchase securities on margin (but the trust may obtain such credits as
may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities);
(4) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and (ii) engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii)
in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's 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;
(5) act as an underwriter (except as it may be deemed such in a sale of
restricted securities);
(6) 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, except that the fund will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry;
(7) 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);
(8) buy or sell commodities or commodity (futures) contracts unless
acquired as a result of ownership of securities;
(9) 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; or
(10) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
(11) The fund may, not withstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company 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 purchase a security (other than a
security issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies
or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets
would be invested in the securities of a single issuer; provided that the
fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the first tier securities
of a single issuer for up to three business days.
(ii) 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.
(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. The fund will not purchase any security while borrowings
(excluding reverse repurchase agreements) representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. 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 purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contracts.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 10% of the
fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for
which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser. (This limitation
does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.)
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic or foreign
governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result, more than
5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of business
enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years of continuous operation.
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitation (viii), pass-through entities and other
special purpose vehicles or pools of financial assets, such as issuers of
asset-backed securities or investment companies, are not considered
"business enterprises."
For the fund's policies on quality and maturity, see the section entitled
"Quality and Maturity" on page .
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. The fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These
transactions may include 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 include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables or
other assets. Payment of principal and interest 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. The value of asset-backed securities may also be
affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the
originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the
credit support.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by the fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking 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 on a delayed-delivery basis, the fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because the fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If the fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When the fund has sold a security on a
delayed-delivery basis, 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,
the fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer
a loss.
The fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of the fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the
liquidity of the fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by the fund to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days. Also, FMR may determine some restricted
securities and time deposits to be illiquid.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are valued for
purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation at fair value as determined
in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. 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 seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive order
issued by the SEC, the fund has received permission to lend money to, and
borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. 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
will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available from other short-term instruments (such as repurchase
agreements), and will borrow through the program only when the costs are
equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. 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.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets. For
example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security or
interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability.
If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any
other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues
presented by structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory
determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax
treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and
timing of distributions made by the fund.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
or private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal
securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related
to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities
or the rights of municipal securities holders. The fund may own a municipal
security directly or through a participation interest.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer or a
third party at any time or at specified intervals. They are subject to the
risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the
security). Put providers often support their ability to buy securities on
demand by obtaining letters of credit or other guarantees from other
entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are
types of put features.
QUALITY AND MATURITY. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Trustees, the fund may purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks. To be considered high quality, a
security must be rated in accordance with applicable rules in one of the
two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two nationally
recognized rating services (or by one, if only one rating service has rated
the security); or, if unrated, judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
High-quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. First tier securities are those deemed to be in the highest
rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-1), and second tier securities
are those deemed to be in the second highest rating category (e.g.,
Standard & Poor's A-2). Split-rated securities may be determined to be
either first tier or second tier based on applicable regulations.
The fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier
securities. In addition, the fund may not invest more than 1% of its total
assets or $1 million (whichever is greater) in the second tier securities
of a single issuer.
The fund currently intends to limit its investments to securities with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and to maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 90 days or less. When determining the maturity of a
security, the fund may look to an interest rate reset or demand feature.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits 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. To protect the fund
from risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in an account of the fund at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the
accrued incremental amount. While it does not presently appear possible to
eliminate all risks from these transactions (particularly the possibility
that the value of the underlying security will be less than the resale
price, as well as delays and costs to the fund in connection with
bankruptcy proceedings), it is the fund's current policy to engage in
repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
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 fund 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 fund might obtain
a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration
of the security. However, in general, the fund anticipates holding
restricted securities to maturity or selling them in an exempt transaction.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement.
The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties
whose creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such
transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's
assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." The fund may sell securities short when it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind or amount to
the securities sold short. Short sales could be used to protect the net
asset value per share of the fund in anticipation of increased interest
rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the securities sold short.
If the fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required
to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities
sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities)
and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is
outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales
against the box.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. FMR may rely on its evaluation of
the credit of a bank or another entity in determining whether to purchase a
security supported by a letter of credit guarantee, insurance or other
source of credit or liquidity.
STRIPPED GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Stripped securities are created by
separating the income and principal components of a debt instrument and
selling them separately. U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) are created when the
coupon payments and the principal payment are stripped from an outstanding
Treasury bond by the Federal Reserve Bank. Bonds issued by the government
agencies also may be stripped in this fashion.
Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer deposits
a Treasury security or federal agency security with a custodian for
safekeeping and then sells the coupon payments and principal payment that
will be generated by this security. Proprietary receipts, such as
Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Securities (CATS), Treasury Investment
Growth Receipts (TIGRS), and generic Treasury Receipts (TRs), are stripped
U.S. Treasury securities that are separated into their component parts
through trusts created by their broker sponsors. Bonds issued by the
government agencies also may be stripped in this fashion.
Because of the SEC's views on privately stripped government securities, the
fund must evaluate them as they would non-government securities pursuant to
regulatory guidelines applicable to all money market funds. In addition,
the fund currently intends to purchase only those privately stripped
government securities that have either received the highest rating from two
nationally recognized rating services (or one, if only one has rated the
security) or, if unrated, have been judged to be of equivalent quality by
FMR pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments of
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
have put features.
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 has granted investment management authority to the
sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contrac t "), and
the 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 below. FMR is also responsible for the placement of transaction
orders for other investment companies and accounts for which it or its
affiliates act as investment adviser. Securities purchased and sold by the
fund generally will be traded on a net basis (i.e., without commission). 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; and the reasonableness of any commissions.
The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who provide
research and execution services to the fund or other 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 accounts; effect securities transactions, and perform
functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). FMR
maintains a listing of broker-dealers who provide such services on a
regular basis. However, as many transactions on behalf of the fund are
placed with broker-dealers (including broker-dealers on the list) without
regard to the furnishing of such services, it is not possible to estimate
the proportion of such transactions directed to such broker-dealers solely
because such services were provided. The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) based upon the quality of research and execution services
provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the 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 the 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.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive 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 the
fund and 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.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of other Fidelity funds
to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services provided by
and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI)
and Fidelity Brokerage Services (FBS), subsidiaries of FMR Corp., if the
commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by
non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. From
September 1992 through December 1994, FBS operated under the name Fidelity
Brokerage Services Limited, Inc. (FBSL). As of January 1995, FBSL was
converted to an unlimited liability company and assumed the name FBS. Prior
to September 4, 1992, FBSL operated under the name Fidelity Portfolio
Services, Ltd. (FPSL) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity
International Limited (FIL). Edward C. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FIL. Mr.
Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of
the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting
common stock of FIL.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI 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.
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, investment decisions for the fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or 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 accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and 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
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 OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The fund values its investments on the basis of amortized cost. This
technique involves valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for
amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than its value
based on current market quotations or appropriate substitutes which reflect
current market conditions. The amortized cost value of an instrument may be
higher or lower than the price the fund would receive if it sold the
instrument.
Valuing the fund's instruments on the basis of amortized cost and use of
the term "money market fund" are permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The fund must adhere to certain conditions
under Rule 2a-7.
The Board of Trustees of the trust oversees FMR's adherence to SEC rules
concerning money market funds, and has established procedures designed to
stabilize the fund's net asset value (NAV) at $1.00. At such intervals as
they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the extent to which NAV
calculated by using market valuations would deviate from $1.00 per share.
If the Trustees believe that a deviation from the fund's amortized cost per
share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to
shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if
any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent
reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective
action could include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to
realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity;
withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using
available market quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may
deem appropriate.
During periods of declining interest rates, the fund's yield based on
amortized cost may be higher than the yield based on market valuations.
Under these circumstances, a shareholder in the fund would be able to
obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result if the fund utilized
market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply in a
period of rising interest rates.
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 yield and total return fluctuate in
response to market conditions and other factors.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute the fund's yield for a period, the net
change in value of a hypothetical account containing one share reflects the
value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original
share and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at the
beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base period
return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. The fund also
may calculate a compound effective yield by compounding the base
period return over a one-year period. In addition to the current yield, the
fund may quote yields in advertising based on any historical seven-day
period. Yields for the fund are calculated on the same basis as other money
market funds, as required by regulation .
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.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total 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 net asset
value (NAV) over a stated period. Average annual total 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 total 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 total 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 total returns
represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year
performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the fund may quote unaveraged
or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns 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. Total 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 total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows the fund's 7-day yield
and total returns for the periods ended August 31, 1995.

Note: The ten-year figures include the effect of the $3.00 monthly account
fee which was in effect from May 31, 1974 through
September 30, 1989.
The following table shows the income and capital elements of the fund's
cumulative total return. The table compares the fund's return to the record
of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P 500(registered
trademark)), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of
living (measured by the Consumer Price Index, or 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 total return compared to the record of a
broad average of common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major
industrial companies, respectively, over the same period. Of course, since
the fund invests in short-term 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. Figures for the S&P 500 and DJIA
are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the
fund's returns, do not include the effect of paying brokerage commissions
or other costs of investing.
During the ten year period ended August 31, 1995, a hypothetical $10,000
investment in the fund would have grown to $ 17,717 , assuming all
distributions were reinvested. This was a period of fluctuating interest
rates and the figures below should not be considered representative of the
dividend income or capital gain or loss that could be realized from an
investment in the fund today.

</TABLE>
Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 made on August 31,
1985, the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of the
initial investment ($10,000), together with the aggregate cost of
reinvested dividends for the period covered (their cash value at the time
they were reinvested), amounted to $ 17,717 . If distributions had not
been reinvested, the amount of distributions earned from the fund over time
would have been smaller, and cash payments (dividends) for the period would
have amounted to $ 5,734 . The fund did not distribute any capital
gains during the period. Tax consequences of different investments have not
been factored into the above figures. The figures in the table
reflect payment of the fund's $3.00 monthly account fee which
was in effect from May 31, 1974 through September 30, 1989.
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. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of
total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank funds 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
indices prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these
indices, 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 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 indices.
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 total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
The fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. The IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/All
Taxable, which is reported in the MONEY FUND REPORT(registered trademark),
covers over 753 taxable money market funds.
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; charitable giving; and
the Fidelity credit card. 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, 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.
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 August 31, 1995, FMR advised over $ 26.5 billion in tax-free
fund assets, $ 79 billion in money market fund assets, $ 218
billion in equity fund assets, $ 56 billion in international fund
assets, and $ 23 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, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked
by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in
comparing bond and money market investments because of its effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV) is
calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.
The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1995: New Year's
Day (observed), President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed),
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving , and Christmas .
Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to be observed in the
future, the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. In addition,
the fund will not process wire purchases and redemptions on days when the
Federal Reserve Wire System is closed.
FSC normally determines the fund's NAV as of the close 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). To the extent that portfolio securities are
traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is closed , the fund's NAV
may be affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of the fund's
portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is open for
business.
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.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940
Act), the fund is required to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice
prior to terminating or modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule,
the 60-day notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of
a modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the time of
an exchange, or (ii) the fund suspends the redemption of the shares to be
exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the sale of its shares
because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, the fund has notified shareholders that it reserves the
right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange purchases by
any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
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 distributed as dividend income, but do not
qualify for the dividends received deduction. A portion of the fund's
dividends derived from certain U.S. government obligations may be exempt
from state and local taxation. The fund will send each shareholder a notice
in January describing the tax status of dividend and capital gain
distributions (if any) for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund may distribute any net realized
short-term capital gains once a year or more often as necessary, to
maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per share.
As of August 31, 1995 the fund had a capital loss carryforward aggregating
approximately $ 900,000 . This loss carryforward, of which
$ 345,000 , $ 536,000 , and $ 19,000 will expire on August
31, 2001, 2002, and 2003 , respectively, is available to offset
future capital gains.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND. The fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes 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.
The fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of Fidelity
Union Street Trust II for tax purposes.
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. 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 the fund is suitable to their particular tax
situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. 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 three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR;
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, which performs
shareholder servicing functions for institutional customers and funds sold
through intermediaries; and 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
account 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.
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
The Trustees and executive officers of the trust are listed below. Except

capacities for other funds advised by FMR. The business address of each
Trustee and officer who is an "interested person" (as defined in the

* Information is as of December 31, 1994 for 206 funds in the complex.
** Interested trustees of the fund are compensated by FMR.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988, the non-interested
Trustees, upon reaching age 72, become eligible to participate in a
retirement program under which they receive payments during their lifetime
from a fund based on their basic trustee fees and length of service. The
obligation of a fund to make such payments is not secured or funded.
Trustees become eligible if, at the time of retirement, they have served on
the Board for at least five years. Currently, Messrs. Ralph S. Saul,
William R. Spaulding, Bertram H. Witham, and David L. Yunich, all former
non-interested Trustees, receive retirement benefits under the program.
On August 31, 1995 the Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the
aggregate, less than 1 % of the fund's total outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
The fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under 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 and state
laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and
furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to
the Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
FSC, the fund pays all of its expenses, without limitation, 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. Although the
fund's current management contract provides that the fund will pay for
typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, notices, and reports to shareholders, the trust, on behalf of
the fund has entered into a revised transfer agent agreement with FSC,
pursuant to which FSC bears the costs of providing these services to
existing shareholders. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions, and the fund's proportionate share of
insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues. 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.
FMR is the fund's manager pursuant to a management contract dated January
28, 1993, which was approved by Fidelity Union Street Trust as the then
sole shareholder of the fund on January 28, 1993 in conjunction with an
Agreement and Plan to convert the fund from a series of a Massachusetts
business trust to a series of a Delaware business trust. The Agreement and
Plan of Conversion was approved by public shareholders of the fund on
January 20, 1993. The contract is identical to the fund's prior contract
with FMR dated November 1, 1986.
For the services of FMR under the contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly
management fee composed of the sum of two elements. The first element is an
amount based upon the fund's average net assets throughout the month in
accordance with the following schedule:
Average Net Assets Annualized Fee Rate For Each Level
from $0 - 2 billion 0.10%
2 - 3 0.09

That amount is then added to an amount equal to 4.0% of the fund's monthly
gross income (excluding gains realized from the sale of portfolio
holdings), provided that such amount shall in no event be less than an
annual rate of 0.20%, or more than an annual rate of 0.40%, of the fund's
average net assets for that month. For this purpose "gross income" includes
interest accrued and/or discount earned (including both original issue
discount and market discount) on portfolio obligations, less amortization
of premium on portfolio obligations, computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended August 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, FMR received
$ 7,357,000 , $6,361,000, and $6,883,000, respectively, for its
services as investment adviser to the fund. These fees were equivalent to
.33 %, .30%, and .30%, respectively, of the average net assets of the
fund for each of those years.
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). 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 total returns and yield and repayment of
the reimbursement by the fund will lower its total returns and yield.
To comply with the California Code of Regulations, FMR will reimburse the
fund if and to the extent that the fund's aggregate annual operating
expenses exceed specified percentages of its average net assets. The
applicable percentages are 2 1/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next
$70 million, and 1 1/2% of average net assets in excess of $100 million.
When calculating the fund's expenses for purposes of this regulation, the
fund may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses, as well as a portion of its distribution plan expenses.
SUB-ADVISER. FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FTX
pursuant to which FTX has primary responsibility for providing portfolio
investment management services to the fund.
Under the sub-advisory agreement, dated January 28, 1993, which was
approved by Fidelity Union Street Trust as the then sole shareholder of the
fund on January 28, 1993, in conjunction with an Agreement and Plan to
convert the fund to a series of a Delaware business trust as
approved by public shareholders of the fund on January 20, 1993 ,
FMR pays FTX fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR
under its management contract with the fund. The fees paid to FTX are not
reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in
effect from time to time. On behalf of Fidelity Daily Income Trust, for
fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, FMR paid FTX fees of $ 3,679,000 ,
$3,181,000 and $3,442,000, respectively.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of the
fund (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (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 a 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 also specifically
recognizes that FMR, either directly or through FDC, may use its management
fee revenue, past profits, or other resources, without limitation, to pay
promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and
sale of shares of the fund. In addition, the Plan provides that FMR may use
its resources, including its management fee revenues, to make payments to
third parties that assist in selling shares of the fund, or to third
parties, including banks, that render shareholder support services.
The Trustees have not authorized such payments to date.
Prior to approving the Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
the 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 shares of the fund, additional sales of fund shares 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 Plan was approved by FMR as the then sole shareholder of the fund on
January 28, 1993. The fund's Plan was approved by shareholders, in
connection with a reorganization transaction on January 28, 1993, pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Conversion.
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 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.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
FSC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent for
the fund. FSC receives annual account fees and asset-based fees for each
retail account and certain institutional accounts based on account size. In
addition, the fees for retail accounts are subject to increase based on
postal rate changes. With respect to certain institutional retirement
accounts, FSC receives asset-based fees only. With respect to certain
other institutional retirement accounts, FSC receives annual account fees
and asset based fees based on fund type. FSC also collects small
account fees from certain accounts with balances of less than $2,500.
FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent
services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and
mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other
reports, notices, and statements to shareholders, with the exception of
proxy statements. Transfer agent fees, including reimbursement for
out-of-pocket expenses, paid to FSC for the fiscal years ended August 31,
1995, 1994, and 1993 were $4,043,000, $5,064,000, and $5,404,000,
respectively.
FSC also performs the calculations necessary to determine the fund's net
asset value per share and dividends, and maintains the fund's accounting
records. The annual fee rates for these pricing and bookkeeping services
are based on the fund's average net assets, specifically, .0175% for the
first $500 million of average net assets and .0075% for average net assets
in excess of $500 million. The fee is limited to a minimum of $20,000 and a
maximum of $750,000 per year. Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including
related out-of-pocket expenses, paid to FSC for fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993
were $ 216,000 , $ 210 ,000, and $ 224 ,000,
respectively .
FSC has entered into an agreement with Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc.
(FBSI), a subsidiary of FMR Corp., pursuant to which FBSI performs certain
recordkeeping, communication, and other services for shareholders
participating in the Fidelity Ultra Service Account program. FBSI directly
charges a monthly administrative fee to each Ultra Service Account client
that chooses certain additional features which is in addition to the
transfer agency fee paid by the fund to FSC.
The fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts corporation
organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is 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 net
asset value. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the
offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Daily Income Trust is a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust II, an open-end management investment company organized as a
Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991. The fund acquired all of the
assets of Fidelity Daily Income Trust, a series of Fidelity Union Street
Trust on January 28, 1993 pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Conversion
approved by shareholders on January 20, 1993. Currently, there are four
funds of Fidelity Union Street Trust II: Fidelity Daily Income Trust,
Spartan Municipal Money Fund, Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market
Portfolio, and Spartan World Money Fund. The Trust Instrument permits the
Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to the trust or a
fund, the right of the trust or fund to use the identifying names
"Fidelity" or "Spartan" may be withdrawn.
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 only
to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of
each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be charged
with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of the
general expenses of the trust. Expenses with respect to the trust are to be
allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective funds, except
where allocations of direct expense can otherwise be fairly made. The
officers of the trust, subject to the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to a
given fund, or which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each
fund are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is a business trust organized
under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders shall be
entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to
stockholders of private corporations for profit. The courts of some states,
however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The Trust
Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the
debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust and requires
that a disclaimer be given in each contract entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees. The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification
out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Trust Instrument
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 Delaware law does not apply, no contractual
limitation of liability was in effect, and the fund is unable to meet its
obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is extremely remote.
The Trust Instrument further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, shall not be personally liable to any person
other than the trust or its shareholders; moreover, the Trustees shall not
be liable for any conduct whatsoever, provided that Trustees are not
protected against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their office.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; the voting
and dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of exchange
are described in the Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable,
except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability"
above. Shareholders representing 10% or more of the trust or a fund may, as
set forth in the Trust Instrument, call meetings of the trust or fund for
any purpose related to the trust or fund, as the case may be, including, in
the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose of voting on removal
of one or more Trustees.
The trust or any fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or
merger with, another open-end management investment company or series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally such
terminations must be approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the trust or the fund; however, the Trustees may,
without prior shareholder approval, change the form of organization of the
trust by merger, consolidation, or incorporation. If not so terminated or
reorganized, the trust and its funds will continue indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder vote,
cause the trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, or cause the trust to be incorporated under
Delaware law, so long as the surviving entity is an open-end management
investment company that will succeed to or assume the trust registration
statement. Each fund may invest all of its assets in another investment
company.
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 the subcustodian
banks and clearing agencies. The custodian takes no part in determining the
investment policies of a fund or in deciding which securities are purchased
or sold by a fund. However, a fund may invest in obligations of the
custodian and may purchase securities from or sell securities to the
custodian. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York and Chemical Bank,
each headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose
custodian of certain assets in connection with pooled repurchase agreement
transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and 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. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., 1999 Bryan Street, Dallas, Texas serves
as the trust'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 August 31, 1995 are included in the fund's Annual Report, which
is a separate report supplied with this Statement of Additional
Information. The fund's financial statements and financial highlights are
incorporated herein by reference.
APPENDIX
The descriptions that follow are examples of eligible ratings for the fund.
The fund may, however, consider the ratings for other types of investments
and the ratings assigned by other rating organizations when determining the
eligibility of a particular investment.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS:
Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1
repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following
characteristics:
Leading market positions in well established industries.
High rates of return on funds employed.
Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and
ample asset protection.
Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and with high
internal cash generation.
Well established access to a range of financial markets and assured
sources of alternate liquidity.
Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will
normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a
lesser degree. Earning trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be
more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still
appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate
liquidity is maintained.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS:
A - Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having the greatest
capacity for timely payment. Issues in this category are delineated with
the numbers 1, 2, and 3 to indicate the relative degree of safety.
A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be denoted with a plus (+)
sign designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues
designated A-1.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to
as "gilt edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized
are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such
issues.
AA - Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally
known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because
margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may
be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat
larger than in Aaa securities.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2, and 3, in each generic rating
classification from Aa through Aa in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and
the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its
generic rating category.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small degree.
The ratings from AA to AA may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Please read this prospectus before investing, and keep it on file for
future reference. It contains important information, including how each
fund invests and the services available to shareholders.
To learn more about each fund and its investments, you can obtain a
copy of each fund's most recent financial report and portfolio
listing, or a copy of the Statement of Additional Information (SAI) dated
October 25, 1995. The SAI has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and is incorporated herein by reference (legally
forms a part of the prospectus). For a free copy of any of these
documents, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8888.
Investments in the money market fund are neither insured nor guaranteed by
the U.S. government, and there can be no assurance that the fund will
maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by,
any depository institution. Shares are not insured by the FDIC, the Federal
Reserve Board, or any other agency, and are subject to investment risk,
including the possible loss of principal.
Spartan Aggressive Municipal may invest without limitation in lower-quality
debt securities, sometimes called "municipal junk bonds." Investors should
consider that these securities carry greater risks, such as the risk of
default, than other debt securities. Refer to "Investment Principles and

KEY FACTS
THE FUNDS AT A GLANCE
The chart on page highlights the strategy, risk , and yield
potential for each fund. Elements common to all five funds are described
below.
GOAL: High current income free from federal income tax. As with any mutual
fund, there is no assurance that a fund will achieve its goal.
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the management
arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946 and is now
America's largest mutual fund manager. FMR Texas Inc. (FTX), a subsidiary
of FMR, chooses investments for Spartan Municipal Money.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
These funds may be appropriate for investors in higher tax brackets
who seek high current income that is free from federal income taxes .
Each fund's level of risk, and potential reward, depend on the
quality and maturity of its investments. Spartan Municipal Money is managed
to keep its share price stable at $1.00. The bond funds, with their broader
range o f investments, have the potential for higher yields, but also
carry a higher degree of risk. You should consider your investment
objective and tolerance for risk when making an investment decision.
The value of the funds' investments and the income they generate will vary
from day to day, and generally reflect interest rates, market
conditions, and other federal and state political and economic news.
When you sell your shares of any of the bond funds, they may be worth more
or less than what you paid for them. By themselves, these funds do not
constitute a balanced investment plan.
The Spartan family of funds is designed for cost-conscious investors
looking for higher yields through lower costs. The Spartan
Approach(registered trademark) requires investors to make high minimum
investments and, in some cases, to pay for individual transactions.
THE SPECTRUM OF
FIDELITY FUNDS

funds are presented here in

Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal, and
Spartan Intermediate Municipal) $2.00
Account closeout fee $5.00
Annual account maintenance fee
(for accounts under $2500) $12.00
THESE FEES ARE WAIVED (except for the redemption fee) if your account
balance at the time of the transaction is $50,000 or more.
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
fund pays a management fee to FMR. Expenses are factored into each fund's
share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page ).
The operating expenses on page are projections based on historical
expenses, and are calculated as a percentage of average net assets. FMR has
voluntarily agreed to temporarily limit the total operating expenses
of Spartan Municipal Money and Spartan Intermediate Municipal to .40% and
. 45 %, respectively, of average net assets. If these agreements were
not in effect, the management fee, other expenses, and total operating
expenses for Spartan Municipal Money would be .50%, .00%, and
.50%, and .55%, .00%, and .55%, respectively , for Spartan
Intermediate Municipal . Expenses eligible for reimbursement do not
include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, or extraordinary expenses.
EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as described on page . For
every $1,000 you invested, the examples on page show you how much you
would pay in total expenses after the number of years indicated, first
assuming that you leave your account open, and then assuming that you close
your account at the end of the period.
These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant
to suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.

PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD. The total
returns that follow are based on histor ical fund results and do not
reflect the effect of any transaction fees you may have paid. The figures
would be lower if fees were taken into account.
Each fund's fiscal year runs from September 1 through August 31. The
table below shows each fund' s performance over past fiscal years
compared to a measure of inflation.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
T OTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in a fund over
a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a money
market fund yield assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an
EFFECTIVE YIELD. A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have
to earn before taxes to equal a tax-free yield. Yields for the bond funds
are calculated according to a standard that is required for all stock and
bond funds. Because this differs from other accounting methods, the quoted
yield may not equal the income actually paid to shareholders.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. government.
The funds' recent strategies, performance, and holdings are detailed twice
a year in financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For
current performance or a free annual report, call 1-800-544-8888.
TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS ARE BASED ON PAST RESULTS AND ARE NOT AN
INDICATION OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
YIELD illustrates the income
earned by a fund over a
recent period. Seven-day
yields are the most common
illustration of money market
performance. 30-day yields
are usually used for bond
funds. Yields change daily,
reflecting changes in interest
rates.
TOTAL RETURN reflects both the
reinvestment of income and
capital gain distributions, and
any change in a fund's share
price.

THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. In technical terms, Spartan
Municipal Money is currently a diversified fund of Fidelity Union Street
Trust II. Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal, Spartan Intermediate
Municipal, Spartan Municipal Income , and Spartan Aggressive
Municipal are currently non-diversified funds of Fidelity Union
Street Trust. Both trusts are open-end management investment companies.
Fidelity Union Street Trust II was organized as a Delaware business trust
on June 20, 1991. Fidelity Union Street Trust was organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on March 1, 1974. There is a remote
possibility that one fund might become liable for a misstatement in the
prospectus about another fund.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review performance. The majority of trustees are not otherwise
affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
Fidelity will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting card and
information about the proposals to be voted on. For Spartan Municipal
Money, you are entitled to one vote for each share you own. For each bond
fund, the number of votes you are entitled to is based upon the dollar
value of your investment.

The funds are managed by FMR, which chooses their investments and handles
their business affairs. FTX, located in Irving Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services for Spartan
Municipal Money.
Norman Lind is manager and Vice President o f Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal and Spartan Intermediate Municipal, both of
which he has managed since October 1995 . Mr. Lind also manages
Advisor Short-Intermediate Tax-Exempt, New York Tax-Free High Yield,
New York Tax-Free Insured, Spartan New York Intermediate Municipal, and
Spartan New York Municipal High Yield. Previously, he managed Spartan
Municipal Income, and he ser ved as a municipal research analyst. Mr.
Lind joined Fidelity in 1986.
David Murphy is manager and Vice President of Spartan Municipal Income,
which he has managed since October 1995. Mr. Murphy also manages
High Yield Tax-Free, Limited Term Municipals, Advisor Limited
Term Tax-Exempt: Class A, and Advisor Limited Term Tax-Exempt:
Institutional Class. Previously, he managed Spartan Short-Intermediate
Municipal, Spartan Intermediate Municipal, Spartan New Jersey Municipal

Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions .
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) performs transfer agent
servicing functions for the funds.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FTX. Members of the
Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of shares
of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power of FMR
Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 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, the Johnson family
may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a controlling group with respect
to FMR Corp.
UMB Bank, n.a., is each fund's transfer agent, although it employs FSC
to perform these functions for the funds. It is located at 1010 Grand
Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
EACH FUND seeks high current income that is free from federal income tax.
Their strategies and levels of risk in pursuing this objective are
different.
SPARTAN MUNICIPAL MONEY seeks to maintain a $1.00 share price by investing
in high-quality, short-term municipal securities of all types. The fund
normally invests so that at least 80% of its income is free from federal
income tax.
When you sell your shares, they should be worth the same amount as when you
bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the fund will maintain a
stable $1.00 share price. The fund follows industry-standard guidelines on
the quality and maturity of its investments, which are designed to help
maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The fund will purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and
will observe maturity restrictions on securities it buys. In general,
securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes,
although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change
in interest rates or a default on the fund's investments could cause its
share price (and the value of your investment) to change.
SPARTAN SHORT-INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL stresses preservation of capital by
investing in securities judged by FMR to be of equivalent quality to those
rated A or better by a nationally recognized rating service. Although
the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, t he fund , under
normal conditions, maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of
between two and four years. The fund normally invests so that 80% or more
of its income is free from federal income tax.
SPARTAN INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL focuses on securities rated A or above by
Moody's or S&P or, if unrated, judged by FMR to be of equivalent quality.
Although the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, t he
fund, under normal conditions, maintains a dollar-weighted average
maturity ranging from three to ten years. The fund normally invests so that
at least 80% of its assets are invested in municipal securities whose
interest is free from federal income tax.
SPARTAN MUNICIPAL INCOME invests primarily in municipal bonds judged by FMR
to be of investment-grade quality. Although the fund can invest in
securities of any maturity, it generally invests in medium- and long-term
bonds and maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of 10 years or
longer. The fund normally invests so that at least 80% of its income is
free from federal income tax.
SPARTAN AGGRESSIVE MUNICIPAL invests at least 65% of its total assets in
securities rated A or lower by Moody's or S&P or, if unrated, judged by FMR
to be of equivalent quality. Although the fund can invest in securities
of any maturity, it generally invests in medium- and long-term bonds and
maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of 10 years or longer. The
fund normally invests so that at least 80% of its assets are invested in
municipal securities whose interest is free from federal income tax.
T he money market fun d stresses income, preservation of capital, and
liquidity. The bond funds s eek to provide a higher level of income
by investing in a broader range of securities. Each fund's yield and
each bond fund's share price change daily and are based on interest
rates, market conditions, other e conomic and political news, and
on the quality and maturity of its investments. In general, bond prices
rise when interest rates fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more
pronounced for longer-term securities. Lower-quality securities offer
higher yields, but also carry more risk. FMR may use various investment
techniques to hedge a portion of the bond funds' risks , but there is
no guarantee that these strategies will work as intended. When you sell
your shares of the bond funds, they may be worth more or less than what you
paid for them.
If you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, you should note
that each fund may invest all of its assets in municipal securities issued
to finance private activities. The interest from these investments is a
tax-preference item for purposes of the tax.
FMR normally invests each fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The funds do not expect to invest in federally taxable
obligations. Each fund also reserves the right to invest without limitation
in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash,
or to invest more than normally permitted in federally taxable obligations
for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this
section. A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more
d etailed information about the funds' investments are contained in
the funds ' SAI. Policies and limitations are considered at the time of
purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event of a
subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.
Current holdings and recent investment strategies are described in
each fund's financial reports which are sent to shareholders twice a
year. For a free SAI or financial report, call 1-800-544-8888.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers to
borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or
variable rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest, but are purchased at a discount from their face values. In
general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall, and vice versa.
Debt securities have varying degrees of quality and varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Longer-term bonds are generally
more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term bonds.
Investment-grade debt securities are medium- and high-quality
securities. Some, however, may possess speculative characteristics and may
be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial
condition of issuers.
Lower-quality debt securities (sometimes called "municipal junk bonds")
are considered to have speculative characteristics, and involve
greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer's
creditworthiness, or they may already be in default. The market prices of
these securities may fluctuate more than higher-quality securities and may
decline significantly in periods of general or regional economic
difficulty.
The tables on page provide a summary of ratings assigned to debt
holdings (not including money market instruments) in Spartan Municipal
Income's and Spartan Aggressive Municipal's portfolio. These figures are
dollar-weighted averages of month-end portfolio holdings during fiscal
1995, and are presented as a percentage of total security
investments. These percentages are historical and do not necessarily
indicate a fund's current or future debt holdings.

INCOME'S AND SPARTAN AGGRESSIVE MUNICIPAL'S TOTAL SECURITY INVESTMENTS ,

FOR A
MORE COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THESE RATINGS.
RESTRICTIONS: For Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal purchase of a
debt security is consistent with the fund's debt quality policy if it is
rated at or above the stated level by Moody' s or rat ed in the
equivalent categories by any other nationally recognized rating service, or
is unrated but judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR. The fund
currently intends to limit its investments in debt securities to those of
Baa-quality or above. For Spartan Intermediate Municipal, purchase of a
debt security is consistent with the fund's debt quality policy if it is
rated at or above the stated level by Moody's or in the equivalent
categories by S&P. The fund currently intends to limit its investments in
lower than A-quality debt securities to 40% of its total assets and in
lower than Baa-quality debt securities to 5% of its assets. Spartan
Municipal Income may not invest more than one-third of its assets in
lower-quality bonds, and does not intend to invest in those rated below B
by Moody's or S&P. Spartan Aggressive M unicipal doe s not currently
intend to invest more than 10% of its total assets in bonds that are in
default.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations issued
by municipalities, local and state governments, and other entities. These
obligations may carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets so that
they are eligible investments for money market funds. If the structure does
not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may
result.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public
or private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities.
T hey may be issu ed in anticipation of future r evenues and may
be backed by the full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a
specific project, or the credit of a private organization. A security's
credit may be enhanced by a bank, insurance company, or other
entity. The value of some or all municipal securities may be
affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or
litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of
municipal securities holders. A fund may own a municipal security
directly or through a participation interest.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES inclu de in terests in pools of purchase
contracts , financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by
municipalities. These securities usually rely on continued payments by a
municipality, and may also be subject to prepayment risk.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rat es that are
period ically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a
benchmark rate changes. Inverse floaters have interest rates that move
in the opposite direction from a benchmark, making the s ecurity's market
value more volatile.
RESTRICTIONS: The money market fund may not purchase certain types of
variable and floating r ate secur ities which are inconsistent with
the fund's goal of maintaining a stable share price.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire land,
equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making payments or
transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose
value or become taxable.
OTHER MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may include obligations of U.S.
territories and possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto
Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the
issuer or a financial intermediary. In exchange for this benefit, the
fund s may pay periodic fees or accept a lower interest rate. The
credit quality of the investment may be affected by the creditworthiness of
the put provider. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender
options are types of put features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For example,
industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and resource
recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The viability of a
project or tax incentives could affect the value and credit quality of
these securities .
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. A fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices, interest
rates, or other factors that affect security values. These techniques may
involve derivative transactions such as buying and selling options and
futures contracts, entering into swap agreements, and purchasing indexed
securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics
of a fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the
fund's investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques
may increase the volatility of the fund and may involve a small investment
of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these
techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction
does not perform as promised.
RESTRICTIONS: The money market fund may not use investment
techniques which are inconsistent with the fund's goal of maintaining a
stable share price.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some illiquid securities and some other securities may be
subjec t to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may
result in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than
10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect a fund's yield or the market value of its assets.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry or type of
project. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all securities
of a similar type. A fund that is not diversified may be more sensitive to
these changes, and also to changes in the market value of a single issuer
or industry.
RESTRICTIONS: With respect to 75% of total assets, Spartan Municipal Money
may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer. Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal, Spartan Intermediate Municipal, Spartan
Municipal Income, and Spartan Aggressive Municipal are all considered
non-diversified. Generally, to meet federal requirements at the close of
each quarter, a fund does not invest more than 25% of its total assets in
any one issuer and, with respect to 50% of total assets, does not invest
more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer. These limitations do
not apply to U.S. government securities. A fund may invest more than 25% of
its total assets in tax-free securities that finance similar types of
projects.
BORROWING. A fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR,
or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a bond 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.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraphs restate all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraphs, can be changed without shareholder approval.
SPARTAN MUNICIPAL MONEY seeks as high a level of federally tax-exempt
income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The
fund will normally invest so that at least 80% of its income is free from
federal income tax. With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may
not invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer.
SPARTAN SHORT-INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL seeks as high a level of current
income, exempt from federal income tax, as is consistent with preservation
of capital by investing primarily in short-term municipal obligations. The
fund will normally invest so that at least 80% of its income is free from
federal income tax.
SPARTAN INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL seeks high current income that is exempt
from federal income tax, by investing in municipal obligations. The fund
will normally invest so that at least 80% of its assets are invested in
municipal securities whose interest is free from federal income tax.
SPARTAN MUNICIPAL INCOME seeks high current income by investing primarily
in municipal securities. The fund will normally invest so that at least 80%
of its income is free from federal income tax.
SPARTAN AGGRESSIVE MUNICIPAL seeks a high current yield that is exempt from
federal income tax. The fund will normally invest so that at least 80% of
its assets are invested in municipal securities whose interest is free from
federal income tax.
EACH FUND may borrow solely for temporary or emergency purposes, but not
in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of a fund's assets are reflected in its share
price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to shareholders nor
deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services for Spartan Municipal Money.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management
fees above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a
fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the
fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be terminated at any
time without notice, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its
performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The table
on page shows the annual rate of each fund's management fee as a
percentage of average net assets for fiscal 1995.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to limit Spartan Municipal Money's total
operating expenses to an annual rate of .45% of average net assets. This
agreement will continue until December 31, 1995.

FMR HAS A SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT with FTX, which has primary responsibility
for providing investment management for Spartan Municipal Money, while FMR
retains responsibility for providing other management services. FMR pays
FTX 50% of its management fee (before expense reimbursements) for these
services.
FSC performs many transaction and accounting functions for the funds.
These services include processing shareholder transactions and calculating
each fund's share price. FMR, and not the funds, pays for these services.
To offset shareholder service costs, FMR or its affiliates also collect the
funds' $5.00 exchange fee, $5.00 account closeout fee, $5.00 fee for wire
purchases and redemptions, and, for Spartan Municipal Money, Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal, and Spartan Intermediate Municipal, the
$2.00 checkwriting charge. The t able above shows what these fees
amounted to for fiscal 1995.
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan. These plans
recognize that FMR may use its resources, including management fees, to pay
expenses associated with the sale of fund shares. This may include payments
to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that provide shareholder
support services or engage in the sale of the fund's shares. It is
important to note, however, that the funds do not pay FMR any separate fees
for this service.

UNDERSTANDING THE
SPARTAN APPROACH(registered trademark)
Fidelity's Spartan Approach is
based on the principle that
lower fund expenses can
increase returns. The Spartan
funds keep expenses low in
two ways. First, higher
investment minimums reduce
the effect of a fund's fixed
costs, many of which are paid
on a per-account basis.
Second, unlike most mutual
funds that include transaction
costs as part of overall fund
expenses, Spartan
shareholders pay directly for
the transactions they make.

A BECAUSE BOND FUND SHARE PRICES FLUCTUATE, THOSE FUNDS MAY NOT BE
APPROPRIATE CHOICES FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gain s, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends
are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gains earned by the bond funds
are normally distributed in October and December.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on the
application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. Each fund offers four
options (three for Spartan Municipal Money):
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, 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 gain distributions, if any, will be
automatically reinvested, but you will be sent a check for each dividend
distribution. This option is not available for Spartan Municipal Money.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically invested in
another identically registered Fidelity fund.
Dividends will be reinvested at the fund's NAV on the last day of the
month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the NAV as
of the date the fund deducts the distribution from its NAV. The mailing of
distribution checks will begin within seven days.
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
As a fund shareholder, you
are entitled to your share of
the fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The
fund passes its earnings
along to its investors as
DISTRIBUTIONS.
Each fund earns interest from
its investments. These are
passed along as DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund may
realize capital gains if it sells
securities for a higher price
than it paid for them. These
are passed along as CAPITAL
GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Money
market funds usually don't
make capital gain
distributions.
(checkmark)
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in a tax-free
fund could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that a fund earns is distributed to
shareholders as income dividends. Interest that is federally tax-free
remains tax-free when it is distributed.
However, gain on the sale of tax-free bonds results in taxable
distributions. Short-term capital gains and a portion of the gain on bonds
purchased at a discount are taxed as dividends. Long-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. These distributions are
taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are taxable
as if they were paid on December 31. Fidelity will send you and the IRS a
statement showing the tax status of the distributions paid to you in the
previous year.
The interest from some municipal securities is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. Each fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in
these securities. Individuals who are subject to the tax must report this
interest on their tax returns.
A portion of a fund's dividends may be free from state or local taxes.
Income from investments in your state are often tax-free to you. Each year,
Fidelity will send you a breakdown of your fund's income from each state to
help you calculate your taxes.
During fiscal 1995, 100% of each fund's income dividends was free
from federal income tax and 77.42%, 21.86%, 32.64%, 17.87%, and 23.93%
of Spartan Municipal Money's, Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal's,
Spartan Intermediate Municipal's, Spartan Municipal Income's, and Spartan
Aggressive Municipal's income dividends, respectively, were subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your bond fund redemptions - including exchanges to
other Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or
loss is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you
receive when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of a fund, Fidelity will send you a confirmation
statement showing how many shares you sold and at what price. You will also
receive a consolidated transaction statement every January. However, it is
up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether this sale resulted in a
capital gain and, if so, the amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your
regular account statements; the information they contain will be essential
in calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares just before a fund deducts a capital
gain distribution from its NAV, you will pay the full price for the shares
and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable
distribution.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUNDS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time.
EACH FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding.
The money market fund values the securities it owns on the basis of
amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a security's
market value and helps the fund to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. For
the bond funds, assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations, if available. Since market quotations are often unavailable,
assets are usually valued by a method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value.
EACH FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE
(price to sell one share) are its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fideli ty may only
b e liable for losses r esulting from unauthorized transactions if
it do es not follow reasonable procedures designed to verify the
identity of the caller. Fidelity will request personalized security codes
or other information, and may also record calls. You should verify the
accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive
them. If you do not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone,
call Fidelity for instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page . Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they
would disrupt management of a fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and
checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each
check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to limit the number of
checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be
cancelled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or its
transfer agent has incurred.
(small solid bullet) You begin to earn dividends as of the first business
day following the day of your purchase.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money order,
U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit instead.
YOU MAY BUY OR SELL SHARES OF THE FUNDS THROUGH A BROKER, who may charge
you a fee for this service. If you invest through a broker or other
institution, read its program materials for any additional service features
or fees that may apply.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements with
FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone,
with payment to follow no later than the time when a fund is priced on the
following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the
financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your request is received and accepted. Note the
following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to you on
the next business day, but if making immediate payment could adversely
affect a fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Shares will earn dividends through the date of
redemption; however, shares redeemed on a Friday or prior to a holiday will
continue to earn dividends until the next business day.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day after
your phone call.
(small solid bullet) Each fund may hold payment on redemptions until it is
reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity Money Line
have been collected, which can take up to seven business days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when
trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
(small solid bullet) If you sell shares by writing a check and the amount
of the check is greater than the value of your account, your check will be
returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.
THE REDEMPTION FEE for Spartan Municipal Income and Spartan Aggressive
Municipal, if applicable, will be deducted from the amount of your
redemption. This fee is paid to the fund rather than FMR, and it does not
apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions.
If shares you are redeeming were not all held for the same length of time,
those shares you held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of
determining whether the fee applies.
THE FEES FOR INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS are waived if your account balance at
the time of the transaction is $50,000 or more. Otherwise, you should note
the following:
(small solid bullet) The $2.00 checkwriting charge will be deducted from
your account.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 exchange fee will be deducted from the
amount of your exchange.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 wire fee will be deducted from the amount of
your wire.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 account closeout fee does not apply to
exchanges or wires, but it will apply to checkwriting.
F IDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual
maximum charge of $60.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will
be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened
after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. The fee will not be
deducted from retirement accounts (except non-prototype retirement
accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if total assets in
Fidelity funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the $50,000 waiver is
determined by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund accounts maintained by FSC
or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or which
list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $5,000 ($10,000 for Spartan Municipal
Money), you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum
balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity reserves the right
to close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be
redeemed at the NAV on the day your account is closed and the $5.00 account
closeout fee will be charged.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for
shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the following:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you
pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales charge and
any sales charge you have previously paid in connection with the shares you
are exchanging. For example, if you had already paid a sales charge of 2%
on your shares and you exchange them into a fund with a 3% sales charge,
you would pay an additional 1% sales charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance
and shareholders, each fund reserves the right to temporarily or
permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more
than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under
common ownership or control, including accounts with the same taxpayer
identification number, will be counted together for purposes of the four
exchange limit.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that
coin cides with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a
fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to $7.50 and redemption fees of up to 1.50% on
exchanges. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

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 a 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.
Each 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) of the fund.
However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below,
the investment policies and limitations described in this Statement of
Additional Information are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF SPARTAN MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
(SPARTAN MUNICIPAL MONEY)
T HE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT L IMITATIONS 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) if, as a result
thereof, (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 as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain
securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short;
(4) purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such
short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions;
(5) 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;
(6) 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;
(7) 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 tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S.
territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political
subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the
fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(8) 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);
(9) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments; or
(10) 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 (for this purpose,
purchasing debt securities and engaging in repurchase agreements do not
constitute lending).
(11) 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 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 purchase the voting securities of
any issuer.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short.
(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 (5)). The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. 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 invest in interests in real
estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable, or to invest in
interests in real estate limited partnerships that are not listed on the
New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or traded on the
NASDAQ National Market System.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contracts.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases
of debt securities.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities
of other investment companies, except in the open market where no
commission except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase
or retain securities issued by other open-end investment companies.
Limitations (a) and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends,
through offers of exchange, or as a result of a reorganization,
consolidation, or merger.
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities
of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic or
foreign governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result,
more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of
Business Enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less
than three years of continuous operation.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or
other mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(xi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities
of any issuer if those officers and Trustees of the trust and those
officers and directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of
the securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's
securities.
(xii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objecti ve, policies,
and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitations (1) and (7), FMR identifies the issuer of a
security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer,
FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of
interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the
way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are
separated from those of other political entities; and whether a
governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
For purposes of limitation (x), pass-through entities and other special
purpose vehicles or pools of financial assets, such as issuers of
asset-backed securities or investment companies, are not considered
"business enterprises."
For the money market fund's policies on quality and maturity, see the
section entitled "Quality and Maturity" on page .
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF SPARTAN SHORT-INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND
( SPARTAN SHORT-INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL )
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET FORTH
IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(2) 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;
(3) 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;
(4) 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 tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S.
territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political
subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the
fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(5) 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);
(6) 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
(7) 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).
(8) 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 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) To meet federal tax requirements for qualification as a "regulated
investment company," the fund limits its investments so that at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year: (a) with regard to at least 50% of
total assets, no more than 5% of total assets are invested in the
securities of a single issuer, and (b) no more than 25% of total assets are
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Limitations (a) and (b) do
not apply to "Government securities" as defined for federal tax purposes.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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 (2)). The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. 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.
( v ) 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 because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(v i ) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases
of debt securities.
(v i i) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities
of other investment companies, except in the open market where no
commission except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase
or retain securities issued by other open-end investment companies.
Limitations (a) and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends,
through offers of exchange, or as a result of a reorganization,
consolidation, or merger.
( viii ) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or
other mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
( i x) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities
of any issuer if those officers and Trustees of the trust and those
officers and directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of
the securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's
securities.
( x ) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitations (4), and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of a
security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer,
FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of
interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the
way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are
separated from those of other political entities; and whether a
governmental body is guaranteeing the security.

For the fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the
section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
beginning on pag e .
Each fu nd's investments must be consistent with its investment
objective and policies. Accordingly, not all of the security types and
investment techniques discussed below are eligible investments for each of
the funds.
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 Investment Company Act of 1940. These
transactions may include 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.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS . Each fund may buy and sell securities
on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by a fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after
the customary settlement period for that type of security.
Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is
delivered. The bond funds may receive fees for entering into
delayed-delivery transactions.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, each fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because a fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If a fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When a fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery
basis, 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, the fund could miss
a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer a loss.
Each fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
FEDERALLY TAXABLE OBLIGATIONS . Under normal conditions, the funds do
not intend to invest in securities whose interest is federally taxable.
However , from time to time on a temporary basis , each fund
may invest a portion of its assets in fixed-income obligations whose
interest is subject to federal income tax .
Should a fund invest in federally taxable obligations, it would
purchase securities that in FMR's judgment are of high-quality. These would
include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its
agencies or instrumentalities; obligations of domestic banks; and
repurchase agreements. The bond funds ' standards for high-quality,
taxable obligations are essentially the same as those described by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) in rating corporate obligations within
its two highest ratings of Prime-1 and Prime-2, and those described by
Standard & Poor's (S&P) in rating corporate obligations within its two
highest ratings of A-1 and A-2. The money market fund will purchase
taxable obligations only if they meet its quality requirements.
Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations are introduced before Congress from time
to time. Proposals also may be introduced before state legislatures that
would affect the state tax treatment of the funds' distributions. If such
proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal obligations and the
value of the funds' holdings would be affected and the Trustees would
re-evaluate the funds' investment objectives and policies.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS . The following sections pertain to futures and
options: Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions, Combined
Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin
Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of
Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call
Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS . The funds will
comply with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to coverage of options and futures strategies by
mutual funds, and if the guidelines so require will set aside appropriate
liquid assets in a segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed.
Securities held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or
option strategy is outstanding, unless they are replaced with other
suitable assets. As a result, there is a possibility that segregation of a
large percentage of a fund's assets could impede portfolio management or
the fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other current
obligations.
COMBINED POSITIONS . A fund may purchase and write 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, a fund may purchase a put option and write a call
option on the same underlying instrument, in order to 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, in order 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. The funds may invest in options and
futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities,
or other characteristics from the securities in which they typically
invest, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not
track the performance of a 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. When a fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees to
purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. When
a fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when the fund enters 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, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index. 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. Each bond 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 funds intend to comply with Rule
4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which
the funds can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, each 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 funds' investments in futures contracts and
options, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts and options
discussed elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information, 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 for a fund 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 funds 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, a fund 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 fund 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 fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price. A fund 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
paid, 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. When a fund writes a put option, it takes the
opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for
receipt of the premium, the fund 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. When writing an option on a futures
contract, the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts. A fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes 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 the fund has written, however, the
fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
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 a fund 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 INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. 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 instruments. In determining the
liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
For the money market fund, FMR may determine some restricted securities
and municipal lease obligations to be illiquid.
For the bond funds, investments currently considered to be illiquid include
over-the-counter options. Also, FMR may determine some restricted
securities and municipal lease obligations to be illiquid. However, with
respect to over-the-counter options a fund writes, all or a portion of the
value of the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the assets
held to cover the option and the nature and terms of any agreement the fund
may have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments for the money
market fund are valued for purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation,
and for the bond funds are priced at fair value as determined in good faith
by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. If through a change in
values, net assets, or other circumstances, a fund were in a position where
more than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INDEXED SECURITIES. Each fund may purchase securities whose prices are
indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, 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. Indexed
securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments that
depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon rates
or principal payments may change by several percentage points for every 1%
interest rate change. One example of indexed securities is inverse
floaters.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security or other instrument to which they are indexed,
and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. At the same time,
indexed securities are subject to the credit risks associated with the
issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the
issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by
the SEC , each fund has received permission to lend money to, and
borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, but
will participate in the interfund borrowing program only as a borrower.
Interfund b orrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a
maximum duration of seven days. A fund will borrow through the program only
when the costs are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Loans
may be called on one day's notice, and a fund may have to borrow
from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not
renewed.
INVERSE FLOATERS have variable interest rates that typically move in the
opposite direction from prevailing short-term interest rate levels - rising
when prevailing short-term interest rates fall, and vice versa. This
interest rate feature can make the prices of inverse floaters considerably
more volatile than bonds with comparable maturities.
LOWER-QUALITY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. Spartan Municipal Income and
Spartan Aggressive Municipal may invest a portion of their assets in
lower-quality municipal securities as described in the Prospectus.
While the market for municipals is considered to be substantial, adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the ability of
outside pricing services used by a fund to value its portfolio
securities, and the fund's ability to dispose of lower-quality bonds.
The outside pricing services are monitored by FMR and reported to the Board
to determine whether the services are furnishing prices that accurately
reflect fair value. The impact of changing investor perceptions may be
especially pronounced in markets where municipal securities are thinly
traded.
Each fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise exercise its rights as a security holder to
seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to
be in the best interest of the f und's shareholders.
MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities may be
affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or
litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of
municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Municipal
bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain
untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could
produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities
issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the
municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the
market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of
these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all
of the municipal securities held by a fund, making it more difficult for
the money market fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets. For
example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security or
interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability.
If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any
other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues
presented by structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory
determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax
treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and
timing of distributions made by the fund.
MUNICIPAL SECTORS:
ELECTRIC UTILITIES INDUSTRY. The electric utilities industry has been
experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive
pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open
transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not
presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks
include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and
cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the
effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing
requirements, and other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely
and sufficient rate increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.
HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. The health care industry is subject to regulatory
action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal,
state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the
health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and
reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other
factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic
conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance
premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the
following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations:
adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program;
other state or local health care reform measures; medical and
technological advances which dramatically alter the need for health
services or the way in which such services are delivered; changes in
medical coverage which alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue
stream; and efforts by employers, insurers, and governmental agencies
to reduce the costs of health insurance and health care services.
EDUCATION. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds;
those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and
universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans.
Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to
the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of
decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal
funding . Among the factors that may lead to declining or
insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay
tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general economic
conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered by state (or
substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by pools of student
loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee
agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the United States
Depart ment of Education through its guaranteed student loan
program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents or
students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit
enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be applied to
redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on program
latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan revenue
bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of student loan
defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student repayment
deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks associated with student loan
revenue bonds include potential changes in federal legislation regarding
student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency reimbursement and
continued federal interest and other program subsidies currently in effect.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take
the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale
contract and are issued by state and local governments and
authorities to acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and
facilities. Generally, the funds will not hold such obligations directly as
a lessor of the property, but will purchase a participation interest in a
municipal obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation
interest gives a fund a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in
proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the obligation.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with
general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set
forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt.
These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale
requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts
(which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the
governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to
acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and
statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts
include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer
has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation
clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the
issuer or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. They are
subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put
feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their ability
to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or other
guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and
tender options are types of put features.
QUALITY AND MATURITY ( MONEY MARKET FUND ONLY ). Pursuant to
procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the fund may purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks. To
be considered high-quality, a security must be rated in accordance with
applicable rules in one of the two highest categories for short-term
securities by at least two nationally recognized rating services (or by
one, if only one rating service has rated the security ); or, if
unrated, judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
High-quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. First tier securities are those deemed to be in the highest
rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-1 or SP-1), and second tier
securities are those deemed to be in the second highest rating category
(e.g., Standard & Poor's A-2 or SP-2).
The fund currently intends to limit its investments to securities with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and to maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 90 days or less. When determining the maturity of a
security, the fund may look to an interest rate reset or demand
feature.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS. A fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and the fund
to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a
settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future.
A fund generally will not be obligated to pay the full purchase price if it
fails to perform under a refunding contract. Instead, refunding contracts
generally provide for payment of liquidated damages to the issuer
(currently 15-20% of the purchase price). A fund may secure its obligations
under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a letter of credit
equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the refunding contract. When
required by SEC guidelines, a fund will place liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account equal in amount to its obligations under
refunding contracts.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to s ell that security
back to the origina l 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. To protect the fund from the risk that the original seller
will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in an account of
the fund at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at
least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. While it
does not presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these
transactions (particularly the possibility that the value of the underlying
security will be less than the resale price, as well as delays and
costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy proceedings), it is each
fund's current policy to engage in r epurchase agreement transactions
with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found
satisfactory by FMR.
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, a fund 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, a fund
might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek
registration of the security. However, in general, Spartan Municipal
Money anticipates holding restricted securities to maturity or selling
them in an exempt transaction.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement.
A fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with
parties whose creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such
transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of the
fund's assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. FMR may rely on its
evaluation of the credit of a bank or another entity in determining whether
to purchase a security supported by a letter of credit guarantee, insurance
or other source of credit or liquidity.
STANDBY COMMITMENTS are puts that entitle holders to same-day settlement at
an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security
plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. Each fund may
acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity of portfolio
securities .
Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third party,
although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a third party
at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments separate from or in
conjunction with the purchase of securities subject to such commitments. In
the latter case, the fund would pay a higher price for the securities
acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.
Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other
guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. FMR may
rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to
support an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In evaluating a
foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate public
information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be subject
to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or
other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's ability to
honor its credit commitment.
Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the ability of
issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the time the
commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments are not
marketable by the funds; and the possibility that the maturities of the
underlying securities may be different from those of the commitments.
TENDER OPTION BONDS are created by coupling an intermediate- or long-term,
fixed-rate, tax-exempt bond (generally held pursuant to a custodial
arrangement) with a tender agreement that gives the holder the option to
tender the bond at its face value. As consideration for providing the
tender option, the sponsor (usually a bank, broker-dealer, or other
financial institution) receives periodic fees equal to the difference
between the bond's fixed coupon rate and the rate (determined by a
remarketing or similar agent) that would cause the bond, coupled with the
tender option, to trade at par on the date of such determination. After
payment of the tender option fee, a fund effectively holds a demand
obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-ter m
tax-exempt rate . In selecting tender option bonds for the funds, FMR
will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond,
the custodian, and the third party provider of the tender option. In
certain instances, a sponsor may terminate a tender option if, for example,
the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.
VARIABLE OR FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS, including certain participation
interests in municipal instruments, have interest rate adjustment formulas
that help stabilize their market values. Many variable and floating rate
instruments also carry demand features that permit a fund to sell them at
par value plus accrued interest on short notice.
In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender options
or demand features that permit a fund to tender (or put) the bonds to an
institution at periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount
thereof. A fund considers variable rate instruments structured in this way
(Participating VRDOs) to be essentially equivalent to other VRDOs it
purchases. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on Participating
VRDOs is tax-exempt and, accordingly, a fund intend s to
purchase these instruments based on opinions of bond counsel. A fund may
also invest in fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third party puts and in
participation interests in such bonds held by a bank in trust or otherwise.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments of
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
have put features.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make regular interest payments. Instead, they are
sold at a deep 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 very volatile when interest rate s
change. In calculating its daily dividend, a fund takes into account as
income a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase
price and its face value.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on
behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
fund's management contract. In the case of the money market, FMR
has granted investment management authority to the sub-adviser (see the
section entitled "Management Contracts"), and the sub-adviser is
authorized to place orders for the purchas e and sale of portfolio
securities, and will do so in accordance with the policies described below.
FMR is also responsible for the placement of transaction orders for other
investment companies and accounts for which it or its affiliates act as
investment adviser. Securities purchased and sold by the money market
fu nd generally will be traded on a net basis (i.e., without
commission). 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; and the reasonableness of any commissions.
The funds may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds or other 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 securit ies.
In addition, such broker-dealers may furnish analyses and reports
concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends,
portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; effect securities
transaction s, a nd perform functions incidental thereto (such
as clearance and settlement). FMR maintains a listing of broker-dealers who
provide such services on a regular basis. However, as many transactions on
behalf of the money market fund are placed with broker-dealers
(including broker-dealers on the list) without regard to the furnishing of
such services, it is not possible to estimate the proportion of such
transactions directed to such broker-dealers solely because such services
were provided. The selection of such broker-dealers generally is made by
FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution considerations) based
upon the quality of research and execution services provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the funds 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 the funds. 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.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive 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
each 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 the funds and 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.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the funds, or shares of other Fidelity
funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services
provided by and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI), a subsidiary of FMR Corp., if the commissions are fair,
reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated,
qualified brokerage firms for similar services.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI to execute portfolio transactions on national securities
exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
Each fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions
on behalf of the funds and review the commissions paid by each fund
over representative periods of time to determine if they are
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1995 a nd 1994, the portfolio
turnover rates amounted to:
1995 1994
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal 51% 44%
Spartan Intermediate Municipal 44% 69%
Spartan Municipal Income 69% 48%
Spartan Aggressive Municipal 51% 64%
For fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, the funds paid no brokerage
commissions.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or
similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each 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 each fund to seek such
recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially
the same as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for
each fund are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR
or 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
accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds
and 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 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 each fund is concerned. In other cases,
however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions
will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current
opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as
investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be
said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
SPARTAN SHORT-INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL , SPARTAN INTERMEDIATE
MUNICIPAL, SPARTAN MUNICIPAL INCOME, AND SPARTAN AGGRESSIVE MUNICIPAL.
Valuations of portfolio securities furnished by the pricing service
employed by the funds are based upon a computerized matrix system or
appraisals by the pricing service, in each case in reliance upon
information concerning market transactions and quotations from recognized
municipal securities dealers. The methods used by the pricing service and
the quality of valuations so established are reviewed by officers of the
funds and FSC under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. There
are a number of pricing services available, and the Trustees, or officers
acting on behalf of the Trustees, on the basis of on-going evaluation of
these services, may use other pricing services or discontinue the use of
any pricing service in whole or in part. Futures contracts and options are
valued on the basis of market quotations if available.
SPARTAN MUNICIPAL MONEY. The fund values its investments on the
basis of amortized costs. This technique involves valuing an instrument at
its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount
rather than its value based on current market quotations or appropriate
substitutes which reflect current market conditions. The amortized cost
value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price the fund would
receive if it sold the instrument.
Valuin g the fund's instruments on the basis of amortized cost and
use of the term "money market fund" are permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The fund must adhere to certain conditions
under Rule 2a-7.
The Board of Trustees of the trust oversees FMR's adherence to SEC rules
concerning money market funds, and has established procedures designed to
stabilize the fund's NAV at $1.00. At such intervals as they deem
appropriate, the Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by
using market valuations would deviate from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees
believe that a deviation from Spartan Municipal Money's amortized
cost per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to
shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if
any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent
reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective
action could include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to
realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity;
withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using
available market quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may
deem appropriate.
During periods of declining interest rates, the money market fund's
yields based on amortized cost may be higher than the yields based on
market valuations. Under these circumstances, a shareholder in the fund
would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result if the
fund utilized market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would
apply in a period of rising interest rates.
PERFORMANCE
The funds may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns. A bond fund's share price ,
an d each fund's yield and total return fluctuat e in response
to market conditions and other factors, and the value of a bond
fund's shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original
cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute the money market fund's yield for a period,
the net change in value of a hypothetical account containing one share
reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the
one original share and dividends declared on both the original share and
any additional shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the
account at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This
base period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. The
money market fund also may calculate a compound effective yield by
compounding the base period return over a one-year period. In addition to
the current yield, the money market fund may quote yields in advertising
based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for the money market
fund are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as
required by regulation.
For the bond funds, yields are computed by dividing a fund's interest
income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the
average number of shares entitled to receive dividends during the period,
dividing this figure by a fu nd's net asset value per share
(NAV) at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming
compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate.
Yields do not reflect Spartan Municipal Income's .50% redemption fee ,
or Spartan Aggressive Municipal's 1.00% redemption fee , which
apply to shares held less than 180 days. Income is calculated for
purposes of the bond funds' 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. Capital gains and
losses generally are excluded from the calculation.
Income calculated for the purposes of determining each bond 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, each bond 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.
In calculating a bond fund's yield, the fund may from time to time
use a portfolio security's coupon rate instead of its yield to maturity in
order to reflect the risk premium on that security. This practice will have
the effect of reducing the fund's yield.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a fund's performance
and in providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, each 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 a
fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and in periods of rising interest rates a fund's yield will tend to be
somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to a 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.
A fund's tax-equivalent yield is the rate an investor would have to earn
from a fully taxable investment before taxes to equal the fund's tax-free
yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing a fund's yield by
the result of one minus a stated federal or combined federal and state tax
rate. If only a portion of a fund's yield is tax-exempt, only that portion
is adjusted in the calculation.
The following table shows the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal income tax laws for 1 995. It shows the
approximate yield a taxable security must provide at various income
brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of hypothetical
tax-exempt obligations yielding from 2% to 8%. Of course, no assurance can
be given that a fund will achieve any specific tax-exempt yield. While the
funds invest principally in obligations whose interest is exempt from
federal income tax, other income received by the funds may be taxable.

on itemized deductions, and other credits, exclusions, and adjustments
which may increase a taxpayer's marginal tax rate. An increase in a
shareholder's marginal tax rate would increase that shareholder's

A fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are
subject to federal income tax. When a fund invests in these obligations,
its tax-equivalent yields will be lower. In the table above, tax-equivalent
yields are calculated assuming investments are 100% federally tax-free.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of a 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. Average annual total returns are calculated by determining
the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in a
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 total return of 100% over ten years would produce an average
annual total 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 annua l total returns are a convenient means of
comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that a fund's
performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and
that average annua l total r eturns represent averaged figures as
opposed to the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or
cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns 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. Total 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 total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis and may or may not include the effect of
Spartan Municipal Income's .50% or Spartan Aggressive Municipal's
1.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 180 days. Excluding a
fund's redemption fee from a total return calculation produces a higher
total return figure. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration, and may omit or include the effect of the $ 5.00
account closeout fee.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using a fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by a fund and
reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, a fund's
adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows the money market
fund's 7-day yield, each bond fund's 30-day yield , and
the funds' tax-equivalent yields and total returns fo r the
periods ended August 31, 1995. Total return figures include the
effect of t he $5.00 account closeout fee based on an average size
account, but not Spartan Municipal Income's and Spartan Aggressive
Municipal's .50% and 1.00% redemption fees, respectively, applicable
to shares held less than 180 days.
The tax-equivalent yield for a fund is based on a 36% federal income
tax rate. Note that each fund may invest in securities whose income is
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

The following tables show the income and capital elements of each
fund's cumulative total return. The tables compare each f und's
return to the record of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks (S&P 500 (registered trademark) ), the Dow Jones Industrial
Average (DJIA), and the cost of living (measured by the Consumer Price
Index, or CPI) over the same period. The CPI information is as of the month
end closest to the initial investment date for each fund. The S&P
500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how each fund's total
return compared to the record of a broad average of common stocks and a
narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively,
over the same period. Of course, since Spartan Municipal Money
invests in short-term fixed income securities and the other fund's
invest in fi xed-income securities, common stocks represent a
different type of investment from the f unds. Common stocks generally
offer greater growth potential than the funds, 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 funds. Figures for the S&P 500 and DJIA are based on
the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the funds' returns, do
not include the effect of paying brokerage commissions or other costs of
investing.

and $20 for capital gain distributions. Tax consequences of different
investments have not been factored into the above figures. The figures
in the table do not reflect the effect of the fund's $5.00 account
closeout fee or the fund's 1.00% redemption fee applicable to shares
held less than 180 days.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A 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 t hat monitors
the performance of mutual funds. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis
of total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank fu nds based
on yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may
be compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance
indices prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these
indices, 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, a 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.
A f und 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, a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher
potential returns than CDs, a 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 indices.
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 total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
A fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. The IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND
AVERAGES(trademark)/All-Tax-Free, which is reported in the MONEY FUND
REPORT(registered trademark), covers over 389 tax-free money market
funds. The Bond Fund Report AverageS(trademark)/All-Tax-Free, which is
reported in the BOND FUND REPORT(registered trademark), covers ov er 569
tax-free bond funds. When evaluating comparisons to money market funds,
investors should consider the relevant differences in investment objectives
and policies. Specifically, money market funds invest in short-term,
high-quality instruments and seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Bond funds, however, invest in longer-term instruments and their
share prices change daily in response to a variety of factors.
A fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative
advantages of investing in a mutual fund versus an individual municipal
bond. Unlike tax-free mutual funds, individual municipal bonds offer a
stated rate of interest and, if held to maturity, repayment of principal.
Although some individual municipal bonds might offer a higher return, they
do not offer the reduced risk of a mutual fund that invests in many
different securities. The initial investment requirements and sales charges
of many tax-free mutual funds are lower than the purchase cost of
individual municipal bonds, which are generally issued in $5,000
denominations and are subject to direct brokerage costs.
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; charitable giving; and
the Fidelity credit card. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint
financial or business publications and periodicals, including model
portfolios or allocations, 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, a quarterly
magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number , and
CUSIP number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. A 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 total 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 , a fund may also discuss or
illustrate examples of interest rate sensitivity.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate a 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.
A 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.
As of August 31, 1995 , FMR advised over $26.5 b illion in
tax-free fund assets, $79 billion in money market fund assets,
$ 218 billion in equity fund assets, $56 b illion in
international fund assets, and $ 23 billion in Spartan fund assets.
The funds 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, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked
by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in
comparing bond and money market investments because of its effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
Each fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV) is
calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading.
The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1995 :
New Year's Day (observed ), Presi dents' Day (observed) , Good
Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Da y. Although FMR expects the same
holiday schedule to be observed in the future, the NYSE may modify
its holiday schedule at any time. In addition, the funds will not
process wire purchases and redemptions on days when the Federal Reserve
Wire System is closed.
FSC normally determines each fund's NAV as of the close 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). To the extent that portfolio securities
are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is closed, a fund's NAV
may be affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of a fund's
portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is open for
business.
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 a f und'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.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940
Act), each fund is required to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice
prior to terminating or modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule,
the 60-day notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of
a modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the time of
an exchange, or (ii ) the fund suspends the redemption of the shares
to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the sale of its
shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in accordance
with its investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it
reserves the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective
and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as federally
tax-exempt interest, the daily dividends declared by the fund are also
federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are distributed as dividend
income, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction. These
gains will be taxed as ordinary income. Each fund will send each
shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of dividen d
a nd capital gain distributions (if any) for the prior year.
Shareholders are required to report tax-exempt income on their federal tax
returns. Shareholders who earn other income, such as Social Security
benefits, may be subject to federal income tax on up to 85% of such
benefits to the extent that their income, including tax-exempt income,
exceeds certain base amounts.
Each fund purchases municipal securities that are free from federal
income tax based on opinions of bond counsel regarding their tax
statu s. These opinions generally will be based on covenants by the
issuers or other parties regarding continuing compliance with
federal tax requirements. If at any time the covenants are not complied
with, distribution to shareholders of interest on a security could become
federally taxable retroactive to the date the security was issued. For
certain types of structured securities, opinions of counsel may also be
based on the effect of the structure on the federal tax treatment of the
income.
As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest on certain "private
activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
(AMT), although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income
for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities will be
considered tax-exempt for purposes of the Spartan Municipal Money,
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal, and Spartan Municipal Income
funds' policies of investing so that at least 80% of their income is free
from federal income tax. Interest from private activity securities will
be considered tax-exempt for purposes of Spartan Intermediate Municipal and
Spartan Aggressive Municipal funds' policies of investing so that at least
80% of their assets are invested in municipal securities whose interest is
free from feder al income tax. Interest from private activity securities
is a tax preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer
is subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any. Private
activity securities issued after August 7, 1986 to benefit a private or
industrial user or to finance a private facility are affected by this rule.
A portion of the gain on bonds purchased with market discount after April
30, 1993 and short-term capital gains distributed by each fund are
taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains. Dividend
distributions resulting from a recharacterization of gain from the sale of
bonds purchased with market discount after April 30, 1993 are not
considered income for purposes of Spartan Municipal Money, Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal , and Spartan Municipal Income funds'
policies of investing so that at least 80% of their income is free
from federal income tax. Spartan Municipal Money may distribute any
net realized short-term capital gains and taxable market discount once a
year or more often, as necessary, to maintain its net asset value at $1.00
per share.
Corporate investors should note that a tax preference item for purposes of
the corporate AMT is 75% of the amount by which adjusted current earnings
(which includes tax-exempt interest) exceeds the alternative minimum
taxable income of the corporation. If a shareholder receives an
exempt-interest dividend and sells shares at a loss after holding them for
a period of six months or less, the loss will be disallowed to the extent
of the amount of exempt-interest dividend.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by each fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are federally
taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time
shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives a long-term
capital gain distribution on shares of a fund , and such shares are
held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss
equal to the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains
distributed by each fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as
capital gains.
As of August 31, 1995, Spartan Municipal Money had a capital loss
carryforward aggregating approximately $ 73,900 . This loss
carryforward, of which $ 900 , $ 700, $45,800 , and $ 26,500
will expire on August 31, 199 9, 2001, 2002, and 2003 ,
respectively, is available to offset future capital gains.
The table below shows the approximate capital loss carryforward
available to offset future capital gains as of August 31, 1995 for each of
the bond funds. Each fund's loss carryforward will expire on August 31,
2003.

TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year
as a "regulated investment company" for tax purposes so that
it w ill 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, each fund intends t o distribute substantially all of
its n et investment income and net realized capital gains within each
calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis. Each fund intends to
comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies,
including a requirement that capital gains from the sale of securities held
less than three months constitute less than 30% of the fund's gross income
for each fiscal year. Gains from some futures contracts and options are
included in this 3 0% calculation, which may limi t a fund's
investments in such instruments.
Spartan Municipal Money is treated as a separate entity from the other
funds of Fidelity Union Street Trust II and Spartan Short-Intermediate
Municipal, Spartan Intermediate Municipal, Spartan Municipal Income,
and Spartan Aggressive Municipal are treated as separate entities from the
other funds of Fidelity Union Street Trust for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some of
the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its shareholders,
and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. 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.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. 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 three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR;
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, which performs
shareholder servicing functions for institutional customers and funds
sold through intermediaries; and 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
account 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.
TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

* Information is as December 31, 1994 for 206 funds in the complex.
** Interested trustees of the fund are compensated by FMR.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988, the non-interested
Trustees, upon reaching age 72, become eligible to participate in a
retirement program under which they receive payments during their
lifetime from a fund based on their basic trustee fees and length of
service. The obligation of a fund to make such payments are not secured
or funded. Trustees become eligible if, at the time of retirement, they
have served on the Board for at least five years. Currently, Messrs. Ralph
S. Saul, William R. Spaulding, Bertram H. Witham, and David L. Yunich,
all former non-interested Trustees, receive retirement benefits under
the program.
As of August 31, 1995, approximately 3.7% of Spartan Municipal Money Fund's
total outstanding shares were held by an FMR affiliate, FMR Corp. Mr.
Edward C. Johnson 3d, President and Trustee of the fund, is a member of a
group which, by virtue of its owning approximately 49% of the voting
securities of FMR Corp., may be deemed to form a controlling group with
respect to FMR Corp. Therefore, based on his membership in this group, Mr.
Edward C. Johnson 3d may be deemed to own beneficially 3.7% of the fund.
Also as of this date, with the exception of Mr. Johnson 3d's ownership of
Spartan Municipal Money Fund's shares, the Trustees and officers of the
funds owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of each fund's total
outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment
adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs
the investments of each fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies, and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing each fund's
investments, compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees
who are "interested persons" of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of
each 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 each fund. These services include providing facilities
for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with
custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters, and
other persons dealing with e ach fund ; preparing all general
shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations;
maintaining each fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares
under federal and state laws ; developing management and shareholder
services for each fund ; and furnishing reports, evaluations, and
analyses on a variety of subjects to t he Trustees.
FMR is responsible for the payment of all expenses of each fund with
certain exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR include, without
limitation, expenses for the typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy
materials to shareholders; legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian,
auditor and non-interested Trustees; costs of typesetting, printing, and
mailing prospectuses and statements of additional information, notices and
reports to shareholders; each fund's proportionate share of insurance
premiums and Investment Company Institute dues. FMR also provides for
transfer agent and dividend disbursing services and portfolio and general
accounting record maintenance through FSC.
FMR pays all other expenses of each fund with the following exceptions:
fees and expenses of all Trustees o f the trust who are not
"interested persons" of the t rust o r FMR (the non-interested
Trustees); interest on borrowings; taxes; brokerage commissions (if any);
and such nonrecurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any
litigation to which a fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have
to indemnify the officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is Spartan Municipal Money's manager pursuant to a management
contract dated February 28, 1992. The contract was approved by Fidelity
Union Street Trust as the then sole shareholder of Spartan Municipal
Money on February 28, 1992, in conjunction with an Agreement and Plan to
convert the fund from a series of a Massachusetts business trust to a
series of a Delaware trust. The Agreement and Plan of Conversion was
approved by public shareholders of the fund on December 11, 1991. Besides
reflecting the fund's conversion, the February 28, 1992 contract is
identical to the fund's prior management contract with FMR, which was
approved by shareholders on December 11, 1991.
FMR is S partan Short-Intermediate Municipal's manager pursuant to a
management contract dated October 18, 1993. The contract was
approved by Fidelity Municipal Trust as the then sole shareholder of
the fund on October 18, 1993, in conjunction with an Agreement and Plan to
convert the fund from a series of one Massachusetts business trust to a
series of another Massachusetts business trust. The Agreement and Plan of
Conversion was approved by public shareholders of the fund on August 18,
1993. Besides reflecting the fund's conversion, the October 18, 1993
contract is identical to the fund's prior management contract with FMR,
which was approved by shareholders on November 13, 1991.
FMR is Spartan Municipal Income's manager pursuant to a management
contract dated April 19, 1990, which was approved by shareholders on
December 12, 1990 , and Spartan Intermediate Municipal's and Spartan
Aggressive Municipal's manager pursuant to management contracts dated March
18, 1993, which were approved by FMR, the then sole shareholder of each
fund on April 8, 1993.
For the services of FMR under each management contract, the funds pay FMR a
monthly management fee at the annual rate of . 50% (Spartan Municipal
Money), .55% (Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal), .55% (Spartan
Intermediate Municipal), .55% (Spartan Municipal Income), and .60% (Spartan
Aggressive Municipal) of average net assets throughout the month.
The management fee paid to FMR is reduced by an amount equal
to the fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees. Fees received
by FMR, after reduction of fees and expenses of the non-interested
Trustees, for the last three fiscal years are shown in the following
table:

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimb urse all or a portion of
each fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses). 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 each fund's total returns and yield and repayment of
the reimbursement by each fund will lower its total returns and yield.
During the fiscal periods reported, FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse
certain funds to the extent that the fund's aggregate operating expenses
were in excess of an annual rate of its average net assets. The tables
below identify the funds in reimbursement; the levels of and periods for
such reimbursement; and the dollar amount reimbursed by FMR, if any, for
each period.

SUB-ADVISER. On behalf of Spartan Municipal Money Fund , FMR has
entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FTX pursuant to which
F TX has primary responsibility for providing portfolio investment
management services to the fund.
Under the sub-advisory agreement, dated February 28, 1992 , which
was approved by Fidelity Union Street Trust as the then sole shareholder of
the fund in conjunction with an Agreement and Plan to convert the fund to a
series of a Delaware business trust, as approved by public shareholders on
December 11, 1991, FMR pays FTX fees equal to 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with the fund.
The fees paid to FTX are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory
expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time. On
behalf of the money market fund, for fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, FMR
paid FTX fees of $5,568,762, $5,503,479 and $3,898,322 respectively.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of
the funds (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (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 a fund
except pursuant to a plan a pproved on behalf o f the fund under the
Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees , allow the funds and
FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute
indirect payment by the funds of distribution expenses.
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the
funds to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the funds of the
distribution of their shares, such payment is authorized by the
Plan. Each Plan also specifically recognizes that FMR, either
directly or through FDC, may use its management fee revenue, past profits,
or other resources, without limitation, to pay promotional and
administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares
of each fund . In addition, each Plan provides that FMR may
use its resources, including its management fee revenues, to make payments
to third parties that assist in selling shares of each fund,
or to third parties, including banks, that render shareholder support
services.
The Trustees have not authorized such payments to date.
P rior to approving each Plan , the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that t he Plan will
benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted
that t he Plans do not authorize payments by a fund other than those
made to FMR under its management contract with the fund . To the
extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection
with the distribution of shares of e ach fund, ad ditional sales of
fund shares may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services
may be provided more effectively under the Plan by local entities
with whom shareholders have other relationships.
Spartan Municipal Money' s Plan was approved by Fidelity Union Street
Trust on February 28, 1992, as the then sole shareholder of the fund,
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Conversion approved by public
shareholders of the fund on December 11, 1991. Spartan Short-Intermediate
Municipal 's Plan was approved by Fidelity Municipal Trust on October
20, 1993, as the then sole shareholder of the fund pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Conversion approved by public shareholders of the fund on
August 18, 1993. The Plan for Spartan Municipal Income was approved
by shareholders on December 12, 1990. The Plans for Spartan Intermediate
Municipal and Spartan Aggressive Municipal were approved by FMR, the
then sole shareholder of each fund, on April 8, 1993.
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
funds 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 financial institutions may be
required to register as dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase
securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under
the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository
institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is each fund's custodian and transfer agent.
UMB has entered into sub-contracts with FSC, an affiliate of FMR,
under the terms of which FSC performs the processing activities associated
with providing transfer agent and shareholder servicing functions for each
fund. Under this arrangement, FSC receives annual account fees and
asset-based fees for each retail account and certain institutional accounts
based on account size. In addition, the fees for retail accounts are
subject to increase based on postal rate changes. With respect to certain
institutional retirement accounts, FSC receives asset-based fees only. With
respect to certain other institutional retirement accounts, FSC receives
annual account fees and asset based fees based on fund type. FSC also
collects small account fees from certain accounts with balances of less
than $2,500. UMB has additional sub-contracts with FSC, pursuant to
which FSC performs the calculations necessary to determine each fund's net
asset value per share and dividends and maintains each fund's accounting
records. Under this arrangement, FSC receives a fee based on each fund's
average net assets. UMB is entitled to reimbursement from FMR
for fees paid to FSC since FMR must bear these costs pursuant to its
management contract with each fund.
Each fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts
corporation organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is 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 each fund, which are continuously
offered at net asset value. Promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS
TRUSTS' ORGANIZATION. Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund, Spartan
Intermediate Municipal Fund, Spartan Municipal Income Portfolio, and
Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund are funds of Fidelity Union Street Trust
(the Massachusetts Trust), an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 1, 1974 as Fidelity
Daily Income Trust. The trust's name was changed to Fidelity Union Street
Trust by a supplement to the Declaration of Trust dated and filed with
the Commonwealth o f Massachusetts on April 30, 1990. Currently, there
are eight funds of the Massachusetts trust: Spartan Municipal Income
Portfolio, Spartan Ginnie Mae Fund, Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund,
Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund, Spartan Intermediate Municipal Fund,
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund, Spartan Arizona Municipal Income
Portfolio, and Fidelity Export Fund. Spartan Short-Intermediate
Municipal Fund entered into an agreement to acquire all of the assets of
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund, a series of Fidelity Municipal
Trust on October 20, 1993. The Massachusetts trust's Declaration of Trust
permits the Trustees to create additional funds.
Spartan Municipal Money Fund is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust II
(the Delaware Trust), an open-end management investment company organized
as a Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991. Currently there are four
funds of the Delaware trust: Spartan Municipal Money Fu nd, Fidelity
Daily Income Trust, Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Portfolio, and
Spartan World Money Market Fund. Spartan Municipal Money Fund entered into
an agreement to acquire all of the assets of Spartan Municipal Money Fund,
a series of Fidelity Union Street Trust, on February 28, 1992. The Delaware
trust's Trust Instrument permits the Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be investment adviser to a trust or
any of its funds, the right of the trust or the fund to use the identifying
names "Fidelity" and "Spartan" may be withdrawn. There is a remote
possibility that one fund might become liable for any misstatement in its
prospectus or statement of additional information about another fund.
The assets of each trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject only to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such
fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying
assets of each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be
charged with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of
the general expenses of their respective trusts. Expenses with respect to
the trusts are to be allocated in proportion to the asset value of their
re spective funds, except where allocations of direct expense can
otherwise be fairly made. The officers of the trusts, subject to the
general supervision of the Boards of Trustees, have the power to determine
which expenses are allocable to a given fund, or which are general or
allocable to all of the funds of a certain trust. In the event of the
dissolution or liquidation of a trust, shareholders of each fund of that
trust are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. The Massachusetts
trust is an entity of the type commonly known as "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 Massachusetts
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 Massachusetts
trust or its Trustees shall include a provision limiting the obligations
created thereby to the Massachusetts trust and its assets. The Declaration
of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any
shareholders held personally liable for the obligations of the fund. 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 the 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.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects Trustees
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of their office.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY - DELAWARE TRUST. The Delaware trust is a
business trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that
shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal
liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit. The
courts of some states, however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this
point. The Trust Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder
liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the
Delaware trust and requires that a disclaimer be given in each contract
entered into or executed by the Delaware trust or its Trustees. The Trust
Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any
shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the fund. The Trust Instrument 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
Delaware law does not apply, no contractual limitation of liability was in
effect, and the fund is unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that,
in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
extremely remote.
The Trust Instrument further provides that the Trustees shall not be
personally liable to any person other than the Delaware trust or its
shareholders; moreover, the Trustees shall not be liable for any conduct
whatsoever, provided that Trustees are not protected against any liability
to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved
in the conduct of their office.
VOTING RIGHTS - BOTH TRUSTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of
beneficial interest. For the bond funds , as a shareholder, you
receive one vote for each dollar value of net asset value y ou own.
For the money market fund you receive one vote for each share you own.
The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; voting and dividend
rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of exchange are
described in the Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable,
except as set forth under the respective "Shareholder and Trustee
Liability" headings above. Shareholders representing 10% or more of a trust
or one of its funds may, as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or Trust
Instrument, call meetings of the trust or fund for any purpose related to
the trust or fund, as the case may be, including, in the case of a meeting
of an e ntire trust , the purpose on v oting on removal of one
or more Trustees.
A trust or any fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to (or,
in the case of the Delaware t rust and its funds, merger with)
another open-end management investment company or series thereof, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally such terminations for
the money market fund must be approved by vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the trust or the fund.
Whereas such terminations for the bond funds must be approved by
vote of the holders of a majority of the trust or fund, as determined by
the current value of each shareholder's investment in the fund or
trust ; however, the Trustees of the Delaware trust may, without prior
shareholder approval, change the form of the organization of the
Delaware trust by merger, consolidation, or incorporation. If not so
terminated or reorganized, the trusts and their funds will continue
indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder vote,
cause the Delaware trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, so long as the surviving entity is an
open-end management investment company that will succeed to or assume the
Delaware trust registration statement, or cause the Delaware trust to be
incorporated under Delaware law. Each fund of the Massachusetts and
Delaware trusts may also invest all of its assets in another investment
company.
CUSTODIAN. UMB Bank, n.a., 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri
64106, is custodian of the assets of each fund. The custodian is
responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of
the subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The custodian takes no
part in determining the investment policies of a fund or in deciding
which securities are purchased or sold by a fund. However, a fund
may i nvest in obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities
from or sell securities to the custodian. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York, The Bank of New York, and Chemical Bank, each headquartered in
New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets
in connection with pooled repurchase agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and 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. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., One Post Office Square, Boston,
Massachusetts (b ond funds) and 1999 Bryan Street, Dallas, Texas
(money market fund) serves as the trusts' independent accountant. The
auditor examines financial statements for the funds and provides other
audit, tax, and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
year ended August 31, 1995 are included in its Annual Report,
which are separate report s supplied with this Statement of
Additional Information. E ach fund's financial statements and
financial highlights are incorporated herein by reference.
APPENDIX
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY is derived by multiplying the value of
each investment by the number of days 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.
When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call an issue of bonds and
has established an independent escrow account that is sufficient to, and is
pledged to, refund that issue, the number of days to maturity for the
prerefunded bond is considered to be the number of days to the announced
call date of the bonds.
The descriptions that follow are examples of eligible ratings for the
bond funds. A fund may, however, consider the ratings for other types of
investments and the ratings assigned by other rating organizations when
determining the eligibility of a particular investment.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S RATINGS OF STATE AND
MUNICIPAL NOTES:
Moody's ratings for state and municipal and other short-term obligations
will be designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG, or VMIG for variable rate
obligations). This distinction is in recognition of the difference between
short-term credit risk and long-term credit risk. Factors affecting the
liquidity of the borrower and short-term cyclical elements are critical in
short-term ratings, while other factors of major importance in bond risk,
long-term secular trends for example, may be less important in t he
short run. Symbols used will be as follows:
MIG-1/VMIG-1 - This designation denotes best quality. There is
present strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity
suppo rt, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for
refinancing.
MIG-2/VMIG-2 - This designation denotes high quality. Margins of
protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.
MIG-3/VMIG-3 - This designation denotes favorable quality. All
security elements are accounted for, but there is lacking the undeniable
strength of the preceding grades. Liquidity and cash flow protection may be
narrow and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well
established.
MIG-4/VMIG-4 - This designation denotes adequate quality. Protection
commonly regarded as required of an investment security is present and,
although not distinctly or predominantly speculative, there is specific
risk.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS OF STATE AND MUNICIPAL
NOTES:
SP-1 - Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue
determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a
plus (+) designation.
S P-2 - Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with
some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term
of the notes.
SP-3 - Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds which ar e rated Aaa are judged to be of the best
quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are
generally referred to as " gilt edge. " Interest payments are
protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is
secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such
changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds which ar e rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by
all standards. Together with Aaa group they comprise what are generally
known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because
margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may
be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat
larger than in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds which ar e rated A possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate
but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment
sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade
obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present
but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as
well.
BA - Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative
elements. Their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times in the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of a
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments of or
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may
be small.
CAA - Bonds which ar e rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues
may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect
to principal or interest.
CA - Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have
other marked short-comings.
C - Bonds which are rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever
attaining any real investment standing.
There are nine basic rating categories for long-term obligations. They
range from AAA (highest quality) to C (lowest quality). Those bonds within
the AA, A, BAA, BA, and B categories that Moody's believes possess the
strongest credit attributes within those categories are designated by the
symbols AA1, A1, BAA1, BA1, and B1.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest-rated debt issues only in small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions th an debt in higher rated
categories.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated
categories.
BB - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
The BB rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt
that is assigned an actual or implied BBB- rating.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has
the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual
or implied BB or BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default,
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is
not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The
CCC rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied B or B- rating.
CC - Debt rated CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating.
C - The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned on actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C rating may
be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed but
debt service payments are continued.
CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.
D - Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when
interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due even
if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that
such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating will also
be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments
are jeopardized.
The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.

KEY FACTS
THE FUNDS AT A GLANCE
MANAGEMENT: Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) is the management
arm of Fidelity Investments, which was established in 1946 and is now
America's largest mutual fund manager. FMR Texas Inc. (FTX), a subsidiary
of FMR, chooses investments for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market.
As with any mutual fund, there is no assurance that a fund will achieve its
goal.
SPARTAN ARIZONA MONEY MARKET
GOAL: High current tax-free income for Arizona residents while maintaining
a stable $1.00 share price.
STRATEGY: Invests in high-quality, short-term municipal money market
securities whose interest is free from federal income tax and Arizona
personal income tax.
SIZE: As of August 31, 1995, the fund had over $ 52 million in
assets.
SPARTAN ARIZONA INCOME
GOAL: High current tax-free income for Arizona residents.
STRATEGY: Invests mainly in longer-term, investment-grade municipal
securities whose interest is free from federal income tax and Arizona
personal income tax.
SIZE: As of August 31, 1995, the fund had over $ 13 million in
assets.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
These non-diversified funds may be appropriate for investors in higher
tax brackets who seek high current income that is free from federal and
Arizona personal income taxes. Each fund's level of risk and potential
reward, depend on the quality and maturity of its investments. Spartan
Arizona Municipal Money Market is managed to keep its share price stable at
$1.00. Spartan Arizona Municipal Income, with its broader range of
investments, has the potential for higher yields, but also carries a higher
degree of risk. You should consider your investment objective and tolerance
for risk when making an investment decision.
The value of the funds' investments and the income they generate will vary
from day to day, and generally reflect interest rates, market conditions,
and other federal and state political and economic news. When you sell your
shares of Spartan Arizona Municipal Income, they may be worth more or less
than what you paid for them. By themselves, these funds do not constitute a
balanced investment plan.
The Spartan family of funds is designed for cost-conscious investors
looking for higher yields through lower costs. The Spartan
Approach(registered trademark) requires investors to make high minimum
investments and, in some cases, to pay for individual transactions.
THE SPECTRUM OF
FIDELITY FUNDS

EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy, sell or
hold shares of a fund. See page for more information about these fees.
Deferred sales charge on redemptions None
Redemption fee (as a % of amount redeemed
on shares held less than 180 days)
for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market None
for Spartan Arizona Municipal Income .50%
Exchange and wire transaction fees $5.00
Checkwriting fee, per check written $2.00
(available for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market)
Account closeout fee $5.00
Annual account maintenance fee
(for accounts under $2500) $12.00
THESE FEES ARE WAIVED (except for the redemption fee) if your account
balance at the time of the transaction is $50,000 or more.
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
fund pays a management fee to FMR. Expenses are factored into each fund's
share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page ).
The following are projections based on historical expenses,
adjusted to reflect current fees, and are calculated as a percentage of
average net assets.
SPARTAN ARIZONA MONEY MARKET
Management fee (after .10%
reimbursement)
12b-1 fee None
Other expenses .00%
Total fund operating expenses .10%
SPARTAN ARIZONA INCOME
Management fee (after .10%

12b-1 fee None
Other expenses .00%
Total fund operating expenses .10%
EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described. For every
$1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses after
the number of years indicated, first assuming that you leave your account
open, and then assuming that you close your account at the end of the
period:
SPARTAN ARIZONA MONEY MARKET
Account Account
open closed
After 1 year $ 1 $ 6
After 3 years $ 3 $ 8
After 5 years $ 6 $ 11
After 10 years $ 13 $ 18
SPARTAN ARIZONA INCOME
Account Account
open closed
After 1 year $ 1 $ 6
After 3 years $ 3 $ 8
After 5 years $ 6 $ 11
After 10 years $ 13 $ 18
These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to temporarily limit each fund's operating
expenses to .10% of their average net assets. If this agreement were not in
effect, the management fee, other expenses, and total operating expenses
would be .50%, 0%, and .50%, respectively for Spartan Arizona Municipal
Money Market and .55%, 0%, and .55%, respectively for Spartan Arizona
Municipal Income. Expenses eligible for reimbursement do not include
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, or extraordinary expenses.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The tables that follow are included in each fund's Annual Report and have

PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or
YIELD . The total returns that follow are based on historical fund
results and do not reflect the effect of any transaction fees you may have
paid. The figures would be lower if fees were taken into account.
Each fund's fiscal year runs from September 1 through August
31 . The tables below show each fund's performance over past fiscal
periods compared to a measure of inflation.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
YIELD illustrates the income
earned by a fund over a
recent period. Seven-day
yields are the most common
illustration of money market
performance. 30-day yields
are usually used for bond
funds. Yields change daily,
reflecting changes in interest
rates.
TOTAL RETURN reflects both the
reinvestment of income and
capital gain distributions, and
any change in a fund's share
price.
(checkmark)
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in a fund over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results. Average annual total returns covering
periods of less than one year assume that performance will remain constant
for the rest of the year.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a money
market fund yield assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an
EFFECTIVE YIELD. A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have
to earn before taxes to equal a tax-free yield. Yields for the bond fund
are calculated according to a standard that is required for all stock and
bond funds. Because this differs from other accounting methods, the quoted
yield may not equal the income actually paid to shareholders.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. government.
The funds' recent strategies, performance, and holdings are detailed twice
a year in financial reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For
current performance or a free annual report, call 1-800-544-8888.
TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS ARE BASED ON PAST RESULTS AND ARE NOT AN
INDICATION OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. In technical terms, Spartan Arizona
Municipal Money Market is currently a non-diversified fund of Fidelity
Union Street Trust II, and Spartan Arizona Municipal Income is currently a
non-diversified fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust. Both trusts are
open-end management investment companies. Fidelity Union Street Trust II
was organized as a Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991. Fidelity Union
Street Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 1,
1974 . There is a remote possibility that one fund might become
liable for a misstatement in the prospectus about another fund.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review performance. The majority of trustees are not otherwise
affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
Fidelity will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting card and
information about the proposals to be voted on. For Spartan Arizona
Municipal Money, you are entitled to one vote for each share you own. For
Spartan Arizona Municipal Income, the number of votes you are entitled to
is based upon the dollar value of your investment.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
The funds are managed by FMR, which chooses their investments and handles
their business affairs. FTX has primary responsibility for providing
investment management services for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market.
Jonathan Short is manager of Spartan Arizona Municipal Income, which he
has managed since October 1995. Mr. Short also manages Minnesota Tax-Free,
California Tax-Free High Yield, California Tax-Free Insured, Spartan
California Municipal High Yield, and Spartan California Intermediate
Municipal. Previously, he was a municipal bond analyst. Mr. Short joined
Fidelity in 1990, after receiving his MBA from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.

Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC) performs transfer agent
servicing functions for the funds.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FTX. Members of the
Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of shares
of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power of FMR
Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 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, the Johnson family
may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a controlling group with respect
to FMR Corp.
UMB Bank, n.a., is each fund's transfer agent, although it employs FSC to
perform these functions for the funds. It is located at 1010 Grand Avenue,
Kansas City, Missouri.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET seeks to earn high current income
that is free from federal income tax and the Arizona personal income tax
while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price by investing in high-quality,
short-term municipal money market securities of all types. FMR normally
invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in state tax-free
securities, and normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in
municipal securities whose interest is free from federal income tax.
When you sell your shares, they should be worth the same amount as when you
bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the fund will maintain a
stable $1.00 share price. The fund follows industry-standard guidelines on
the quality and maturity of its investments, which are designed to help
maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The fund will purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and
will observe maturity restrictions on securities it buys. In general,
securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes,
although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change
in interest rates or a default on the fund ' s investments could cause
its share price (and the value of your investment) to change.
SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL INCOME seeks high current income that is free
from federal income tax and the Arizona personal income tax by investing
primarily in municipal securities judged by FMR to be of investment-grade
quality, although it can also invest in lower-quality securities. FMR
normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in state tax-free
securities, and normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in
municipal securities whose interest is free from federal income tax.
Although the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, it generally
invests in medium- and long-term bonds and maintains a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 10 years or longer.
EACH FUND'S performance is affected by the economic and political
conditions within the state of Arizona. The rate of growth in Arizona
slowed in the late '80s and early '90s, and assessed valuations in many
areas have declined, putting pressure on state and local budgets. However,
the state's growth in population and employment and other economic
indicators continues to outpace that of the nation as a whole. Economic
conditions within the state are expected to reflect moderate growth through
1995.
The money market fund stresses income, preservation of capital, and
liquidity. The bond fund seeks to provide a higher level of income by
investing in a broader range of securities. Each fund's yield and the bond
fund's share price change daily and are based on interest rates, market
conditions, other economic and political news, and on the quality and
maturity of its investments. In general, bond prices rise when interest
rates fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for
longer-term securities. Lower-quality securities offer higher yields, but
also carry more risk. FMR may use various investment techniques to hedge a
portion of the bond fund's risks, but there is no guarantee that these
strategies will work as intended. When you sell your shares of the bond
fund, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them.
If you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, you should note
that each fund may invest all of its assets in municipal securities issued
to finance private activities. The interest from these investments is a
tax-preference item for purposes of the tax.
FMR normally invests each fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. The funds do not expect to invest in federally taxable
obligations, and Spartan Arizona Municipal Income does not expect to invest
in state taxable obligations. Each fund also reserves the right to invest
without limitation in short-term instruments, to hold a substantial amount
of uninvested cash, or to invest more than normally permitted in taxable
obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more detailed information
about the funds' investments are contained in the funds' SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.
Current holdings and recent investment strategies are described in the
funds' financial report which is sent to shareholders twice a year. For a
free SAI or financial report, call 1-800-544-8888.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers to
borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or
variable rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest, but are purchased at a discount from their face values. In
general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall, and vice versa. Debt
securities have varying degrees of quality and varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Longer-term bonds are generally
more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term bonds.
Lower-quality debt securities (sometimes called "municipal junk bonds")
are considered to have speculative characteristics, and involve greater
risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer's
creditworthiness. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more
than higher-quality securities and may decline significantly in periods of
general or regional economic difficulty.
RESTRICTIONS: Purchase of a debt security is consistent with Spartan
Arizona Municipal Income's debt quality policy if it is rated at or above
the stated level by Moody's or rated in the equivalent categories by S&P,
or is unrated but judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR. The fund
currently intends to limit its investments in lower than Baa-quality debt
securities to one-third of its assets, and currently intends to limit its
investments in debt securities to those of B-quality or above.
The table on page provides a summary of ratings assigned to debt
holdings (not including money market instruments) in Spartan Arizona
Municipal Income's portfolio. These figures are dollar-weighted averages of
month-end portfolio holdings during fiscal 1995, and are presented as a
percentage of total security investments. These percentages are historical
and do not necessarily indicate the fund's current or future debt holdings.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations
issued by municipalities, local and state governments, and other entities.
These obligations may carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates.
Some money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to
modify the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets
so that they are eligible investments for money market funds. If the
structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of
public or private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. A security's credit may be
enhanced by a bank, insurance company, or other entity. The value of some
or all municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the
municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the
taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities
holders. A fund may own a municipal security directly or through a
participation interest.

TO THE FUND'S STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR A MORE COMPLETE
DISCUSSION OF THESE RATINGS.
STATE TAX-FREE SECURITIES include municipal obligations issued by the state
of Arizona or its counties, municipalities, authorities, or other
subdivisions . The ability of issuers to repay their debt can be
affected by many factors that impact the economic vitality of either the
state or a region within the state.
Other state tax-free securities include obligations of the U.S.
territories and possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto
Rico, and their political subdivisions and public corporations. The economy
of Puerto Rico is closely linked to the U.S. economy, and will be affected
by the strength of the U.S. dollar, interest rates, the price stability of
oil imports, and the continued existence of favorable tax incentives.
Recent legislation revised these incentives, but the government of Puerto
Rico anticipates only a slight reduction in the average real growth rates
for the economy.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of purchase
contracts, financing leases, or sales agreements entered into by
municipalities. These securities usually rely on continued payments by a
municipality, and may also be subject to prepayment risk.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. Inverse floaters have interest rates that move in the
opposite direction from a benchmark, making the security's market value
more volatile.
RESTRICTIONS: The money market fund may not purchase certain types
of variable and floating rate securities which are inconsistent with the
fund's goal of maintaining a stable share price.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire land,
equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making payments or
transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose
value or become taxable.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to
the issuer or a financial intermediary. In exchange for this benefit, the
funds may pay periodic fees or accept a lower interest rate. The credit
quality of the investment may be affected by the creditworthiness of the
put provider. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are
types of put features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For example,
industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and resource
recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The viability of a
project or tax incentives could affect the value and credit quality of
these securities.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. A fund can use various techniques
to increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices, interest
rates, or other factors that affect security values. These techniques may
involve derivative transactions such as buying and selling options and
futures contracts and purchasing indexed securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics
of a fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the
fund's investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques
may increase the volatility of the fund and may involve a small investment
of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these
techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction
does not perform as promised.
RESTRICTIONS: The money market fund may not use investment techniques which
are inconsistent with the fund's goal of maintaining a stable share price.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be
determined by FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be
illiquid, which means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an
acceptable price. The sale of some illiquid securities and some other
securities may be subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling
securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result,
more than 10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect a fund's yield or the market value of its assets.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry or type of
project. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all securities
of a similar type. A fund that is not diversified may be more sensitive to
these changes, and also to changes in the market value of a single issuer
or industry.
RESTRICTIONS: The funds are considered non-diversified. Generally, to meet
federal tax requirements at the close of each quarter, a fund does not
invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one issuer and, with
respect to 50% of total assets, does not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in any one issuer. These limitations do not apply to U.S. government
securities. A fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in tax-free
securities that finance similar types of projects.
BORROWING. A fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR,
or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a bond 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.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraphs restate all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraphs, can be changed without shareholder approval.
SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET seeks as high a level of current
income exempt from federal income tax and Arizona personal income tax, as
is consistent with preservation of capital.
SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL INCOME seeks a high level of current income,
exempt from federal income tax and Arizona personal income tax.
EACH FUND normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal
securities whose interest is free from federal income tax. Each fund may
borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not in an amount
exceeding 33% of its total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of a fund's assets are reflected in its share
price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to shareholders nor
deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management
fees above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a
fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the
fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be terminated at any
time without notice, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its
performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. Each fund
pays a management fee at a fixed annual rate of its average net assets:
.50 % for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market and
.55 % for Spartan Arizona Municipal Income . The total
management fee rate for both Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market and
Spartan Arizona Municipal Income for fiscal 1995, after reimbursement, was
.06%.
FMR HAS A SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT with FTX, which has primary
responsibility for providing investment management for Spartan Arizona
Municipal Money Market, while FMR retains responsibility for providing
other management services. FMR pays FTX 50% of its management fee (before
expense reimbursements) for these services.
FSC performs many transaction and accounting functions for the funds. These
services include processing shareholder transactions and calculating each
fund's share price. FMR, and not the funds, pays for these services.
To offset shareholder service costs, FMR or its affiliates also collect the
funds' $5.00 exchange fee, $5.00 account closeout fee, $5.00 fee for wire
purchases and redemptions, and, for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market,
the $2.00 checkwriting charge. For fiscal 1995, these fees amounted to
$ 75 , $ 25 , $ 35 , and $ 146 , respectively, for
Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market and $ 65 , $ 10 , and
$ 15 , respectively, for Spartan Arizona Municipal Income.
Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan. These plans
recognize that FMR may use its resources, including management fees, to pay
expenses associated with the sale of fund shares. This may include payments
to third parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that provide shareholder
support services or engage in the sale of the fund's shares. It is
important to note, however, that the funds do not pay FMR any separate fees
for this service.
For fiscal 1995, the annualized portfolio turnover rate for Spartan
Arizona Municipal Income was 56%. This rate varies from year to year.

UNDERSTANDING THE
SPARTAN APPROACH(registered trademark)
Fidelity's Spartan Approach is
based on the principle that
lower fund expenses can
increase returns. The Spartan
funds keep expenses low in
two ways. First, higher
investment minimums reduce
the effect of a fund's fixed
costs, many of which are paid
on a per-account basis.
Second, unlike most mutual
funds that include transaction
costs as part of overall fund
expenses, Spartan
shareholders pay directly for
the transactions they make.

Fidelity funds by telephone or in writing. There may be a $5.00 fee for
each exchange out of the funds, unless you place your transaction on
Fidelity's automated exchange services.
Note that exchanges out of a fund are limited to four per calendar year,
and that they may have tax consequences for you. For details on policies
and restrictions governing exchanges, including circumstances under which a
shareholder's exchange privilege may be suspended or revoked, see page .
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLANS let you set up periodic redemptions from your

REGULAR INVESTMENT PLANS
One easy way to pursue your financial goals is to invest money regularly.
Fidelity offers convenient services that let you transfer money into your
fund account, or between fund accounts, automatically. While regular
investment plans do not guarantee a profit and will not protect you against
loss in a declining market, they can be an excellent way to invest for a
home, educational expenses, and other long-term financial goals.

A BECAUSE BOND FUND SHARE PRICES FLUCTUATE, THAT FUND MAY NOT BE AN
APPROPRIATE CHOICE FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT OF YOUR ENTIRE CHECK.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gains earned by the bond fund are
normally distributed in October and December.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on the
application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. Each fund offers four
options (three for Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market):
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, 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 gain distributions, if any, will be
automatically reinvested, but you will be sent a check for each dividend
distribution. This option is not available for Spartan Arizona Municipal
Money Market.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically invested in
another identically registered Fidelity fund.
Dividends will be reinvested at the fund's NAV on the last day of the
month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the NAV as
of the date the fund deducts the distribution from its NAV. The mailing of
distribution checks will begin within seven days.
UNDERSTANDING
DISTRIBUTIONS
As a fund shareholder, you
are entitled to your share of
the fund's net income and
gains on its investments. The
fund passes its earnings
along to its investors as
DISTRIBUTIONS.
Each fund earns interest from
its investments. These are
passed along as DIVIDEND
DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund may
realize capital gains if it sells
securities for a higher price
than it paid for them. These
are passed along as CAPITAL
GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Money
market funds usually don't
make capital gain
distributions.
(checkmark)
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in a tax-free
fund could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that a fund earns is distributed to
shareholders as income dividends. Interest that is federally tax-free
remains tax-free when it is distributed.
However, gain on the sale of tax-free bonds results in taxable
distributions. Short-term capital gains and a portion of the gain on bonds
purchased at a discount are taxed as dividends. Long-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. These distributions are
taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are taxable
as if they were paid on December 31. Fidelity will send you and the IRS a
statement showing the tax status of the distributions paid to you in the
previous year.
The interest from some municipal securities is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. Each fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in
these securities. Individuals who are subject to the tax must report this
interest on their tax returns.
To the extent a fund's income dividends are derived from Arizona state
tax-free investments, they will be free from Arizona state personal income
tax.
During fiscal 1995, 100 % of each fund's income dividends was free
from federal income tax and 100 % was free from Arizona
personal income taxes . 39.17 % of Spartan Arizona Municipal Money
Market's and 0.76 % of Spartan Arizona Municipal Income's income
dividends were subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your bond fund redemptions - including exchanges to
other Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or
loss is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you
receive when you sell them.
Whenever you sell shares of a fund, Fidelity will send you a confirmation
statement showing how many shares you sold and at what price. You will also
receive a consolidated transaction statement every January. However, it is
up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether this sale resulted in a
capital gain and, if so, the amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your
regular account statements; the information they contain will be essential
in calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares just before a fund deducts a capital
gain distribution from its NAV, you will pay the full price for the shares
and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable
distribution.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUNDS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of
business of the NYSE, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time.
EACH FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding.
The money market fund values the securities it owns on the basis of
amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a security's
market value and helps the fund to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. For
the bond fund, assets are valued primarily on the basis of market
quotations, if available. Since market quotations are often unavailable,
assets are usually valued by a method that the Board of Trustees believes
accurately reflects fair value.
EACH FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) and REDEMPTION PRICE
(price to sell one share) are its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity may
only be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it
does not follow reasonable procedures designed to verify the identity of
the caller. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other
information, and may also record calls. You should verify the accuracy of
your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do
not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page . Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would
disrupt management of a fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Note the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and
checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(small solid bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each
check must have a value of at least $50.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to limit the number of
checks processed at one time.
(small solid bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be
cancelled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or its
transfer agent has incurred.
(small solid bullet) You begin to earn dividends as of the first business
day following the day of your purchase.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money order,
U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or direct deposit instead.
YOU MAY BUY OR SELL SHARES OF THE FUNDS THROUGH A BROKER, who may charge
you a fee for this service. If you invest through a broker or other
institution, read its program materials for any additional service features
or fees that may apply.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements with
FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone,
with payment to follow no later than the time when a fund is priced on the
following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the
financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your request is received and accepted. Note the
following:
(small solid bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to you on
the next business day, but if making immediate payment could adversely
affect a fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(small solid bullet) Shares will earn dividends through the date of
redemption; however, shares redeemed on a Friday or prior to a holiday will
continue to earn dividends until the next business day.
(small solid bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be
credited to your bank account on the second or third business day after
your phone call.
(small solid bullet) Each fund may hold payment on redemptions until it is
reasonably satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity Money Line
have been collected, which can take up to seven business days.
(small solid bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates
postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when
trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
(small solid bullet) If you sell shares by writing a check and the amount
of the check is greater than the value of your account, your check will be
returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.
THE REDEMPTION FEE for Spartan Arizona Municipal Income ,
if applicable, will be deducted from the amount of your redemption. This
fee is paid to the fund rather than FMR, and it does not apply to shares
that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions. If shares you are
redeeming were not all held for the same length of time, those shares you
held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the
fee applies.
THE FEES FOR INDIVIDUAL TRANSACTIONS are waived if your account balance at
the time of the transaction is $50,000 or more. Otherwise, you should note
the following:
(small solid bullet) The $2.00 checkwriting charge will be deducted from
your account (Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market only).
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 exchange fee will be deducted from the
amount of your exchange.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 wire fee will be deducted from the amount of
your wire.
(small solid bullet) The $5.00 account closeout fee does not apply to
exchanges or wires, but it will apply to checkwriting.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
of $12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an
annual maximum charge of $60.00 per shareholder. It is expected that
accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year.
Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that
year. The fee, which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to
offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts.
The fee will not be deducted from retirement accounts (except non-prototype
retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if total
assets in Fidelity funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the $50,000 waiver
is determined by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or
which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $5,000 ($10,000 for Spartan Arizona
Municipal Money Market), you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish
the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity reserves
the right to close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares
will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your account is closed and the $5.00
account closeout fee will be charged.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for
shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the following:
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you
pay the percentage-point difference between that fund's sales charge and
any sales charge you have previously paid in connection with the shares you
are exchanging. For example, if you had already paid a sales charge of 2%
on your shares and you exchange them into a fund with a 3% sales charge,
you would pay an additional 1% sales charge.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance
and shareholders, each fund reserves the right to temporarily or
permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more
than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under
common ownership or control, including accounts with the same taxpayer
identification number, will be counted together for purposes of the four
exchange limit.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to $7.50 and redemption fees of up to 1.50% on
exchanges. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

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 a 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.
A 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) of the
funds. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed
below, the investment policies and limitations described in this Statement
of Additional Information are not fundamental and may be changed without
shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
(MONEY MARKET FUND)
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MONEY MARKET FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(2) 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;
(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(4) 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 tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S.
territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political
subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the
fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(5) 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);
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments; or
(7) 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.
(8) 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 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) To meet federal tax requirements for qualification as a "regulated
investment company," the fund limits its investments so that at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year: (a) with regard to at least 50% of
total assets, no more than 5% of total assets are invested in the
securities of a single issuer, and (b) no more than 25% of total assets are
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Limitations (a) and (b) do
not apply to "Government securities" as defined for federal tax purposes.
(ii) With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund does not
currently intend to 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, the fund would hold more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.
(ii 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.
(i v ) 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.
(v) 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 (2)). The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. 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.
(v i ) 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.
(vi i ) The fund does not currently intend to invest more than 25% of
its total assets in industrial revenue bonds related to a single industry.
(vii i ) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell
futures contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to
options attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying
securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options or futures contracts.
( i x) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities
of other investment companies, except in the open market where no
commission except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase
or retain securities issued by other open-end investment companies.
Limitations (a) and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends,
through offers of exchange, or as a result of a reorganization,
consolidation, or merger.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
(xi) The fund does not currently intend to purchase warrants, valued at
the lower of cost or market, in excess of 5% of the fund's net assets.
Included in that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the fund's net assets, may
be warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the
American Stock Exchange. Warrants acquired by the fund in units or attached
to securities are not subject to these restrictions.
(xii) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(xiii) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases
of debt securities.
For purposes of limitations (4) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of a
security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer,
FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of
interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the
way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are
separated from those of other political entities; and whether a
governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
For the money market fund's policies on quality and maturity, see the
section entitled "Quality and Maturity" on page .

payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures
contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(v) 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 (2)). The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. 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.
(v i ) 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.
(vi i ) The fund does not currently intend to invest more than 25% of
its total assets in industrial revenue bonds related to a single industry.
(vii i ) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase
agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases
of debt securities.
( ix ) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities
of other investment companies, except in the open market where no
commission except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase
or retain securities issued by other open-end investment companies.
Limitations (a) and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends,
through offers of exchange, or as a result of a reorganization,
consolidation, or merger.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to purchase warrants, valued at
the lower of cost or market, in excess of 5% of the fund's net assets.
Included in that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the fund's net assets, may
be warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the
American Stock Exchange. Warrants acquired by the fund in units or attached
to securities are not subject to these restrictions.
(xi) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(xii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objectives, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
For purposes of limitations (4) and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of a
security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer,
FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of
interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the
way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are
separated from those of other political entities; and whether a
governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
For the bond fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions" on
page .
Each fund's investments must be consistent with its investment objective
and policies. Accordingly, not all of the security types and investment
techniques discussed below are eligible investments for each of the
funds.
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 Investment Company Act of 1940. These
transactions may include 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.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by a fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after
the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no
interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered. The bond
fund may receive fees for entering into delayed-delivery transactions.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, each fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because a fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If a fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When a fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery
basis, 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, the fund could miss
a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer a loss.
Each fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
FEDERALLY TAXABLE OBLIGATIONS. Under normal conditions, the funds do not
intend to invest in securities whose interest is federally taxable.
However, from time to time on a temporary basis, each fund may invest a
portion of its assets in fixed-income obligations whose interest is subject
to federal income tax.
Should a fund invest in federally taxable obligations, it would purchase
securities that in FMR's judgment are of high quality. These would include
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or
instrumentalities; obligations of domestic banks; and repurchase
agreements. The bond fund's standards for high-quality, taxable obligations
are essentially the same as those described by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. (Moody's) in rating corporate obligations within its two highest
ratings of Prime-1 and Prime-2, and those described by Standard & Poor's
Corporation (S&P) in rating corporate obligations within its two highest
ratings of A-1 and A-2. The money market fund will purchase taxable
obligations only if they meet its quality requirements.
Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations are introduced before Congress from time
to time. Proposals also may be introduced before the Arizona legislature
that would affect the state tax treatment of the funds' distributions. If
such proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal obligations and
the value of the funds' holdings would be affected and the Trustees would
reevaluate the funds' investment objectives and policies.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS. The following sections pertain to futures and
options: Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions, Combined
Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin
Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of
Options and Futures Contracts, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call
Options, and Writing Put and Call Options.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. A fund will comply
with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to coverage of options and futures strategies by mutual funds, and
if the guidelines so require will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities held in a
segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or option strategy is
outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable assets. As a
result, there is a possibility that segregation of a large percentage of a
fund's assets could impede portfolio management or the fund's ability to
meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
COMBINED POSITIONS. A fund may purchase and write 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, a fund may purchase a put option and write a call
option on the same underlying instrument, in order to 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, in order 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. The funds may invest in options and
futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities,
or other characteristics from the securities in which they typically
invest, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not
track the performance of a 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. When a fund purchases a futures contract, it
agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future
date. When a fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the
underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the
purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the fund enters 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, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index.
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 bond 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 funds 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 funds' investments in futures contracts and
options, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts and options
discussed elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information 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 for a fund 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 funds 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, a fund
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 fund 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 fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price. A fund 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
paid, 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. When a fund writes a put option, it
takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the fund 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. When writing an option on a futures
contract, the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts. A fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes 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 the fund has written, however, the
fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
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 a fund 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 INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed
of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which
they are valued. 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 instruments. In determining
the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
For the money market fund, FMR may determine some restricted securities and
municipal lease obligations to be illiquid.
For the bond fund, investments currently considered to be illiquid include
over-the-counter options. Also, FMR may determine some restricted
securities and municipal lease obligations to be illiquid. However, with
respect to over-the-counter options a fund writes, all or a portion of the
value of the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the assets
held to cover the option and the nature and terms of any agreement the fund
may have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments for the money
market fund are valued for purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation,
and for the bond fund are priced at fair value as determined in good faith
by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. If through a change in
values, net assets, or other circumstances, a fund were in a position where
more than 10% of its net assets was invested in illiquid securities, it
would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The bond fund may purchase securities whose
prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices,
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.
Indexed securities may have principal payments as well as coupon payments
that depend on the performance of one or more interest rates. Their coupon
rates or principal payments may change by several percentage points for
every 1% interest rate change. One example of indexed securities is inverse
floaters.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security or other instrument to which they are indexed,
and may also be influenced by interest rate changes. At the same time,
indexed securities are subject to the credit risks associated with the
issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the
issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Indexed securities may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued
by the SEC, each fund has received permission to lend money to, and borrow
money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, but will
participate in the interfund borrowing program only as a borrower.
Interfund borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum
duration of seven days. A fund will borrow through the program only when
the costs are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Loans may be
called on one day's notice, and a fund may have to borrow from a bank at a
higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.
INVERSE FLOATERS have variable interest rates that typically move in
the opposite direction from prevailing short-term interest rate levels -
rising when prevailing short-term interest rates fall, and vice versa. This
interest rate feature can make the prices of inverse floaters considerably
more volatile than bonds with comparable maturities.
LOWER-QUALITY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The bond fund may invest a
portion of its assets in lower-quality municipal securities as described in
the Prospectus.
While the market for Arizona municipals is considered to be adequate,
adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the ability
of outside pricing services used by a fund to value its portfolio
securities, and the fund's ability to dispose of lower-quality bonds. The
outside pricing services are monitored by FMR and reported to the Board to
determine whether the services are furnishing prices that accurately
reflect fair value. The impact of changing investor perceptions may be
especially pronounced in markets where municipal securities are thinly
traded.
Each fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise exercise its rights as a security holder to
seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to
be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.
MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities may be
affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or
litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of
municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Municipal
bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain
untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could
produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities
issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the
municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the
market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of
these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all
of the municipal securities held by a fund, making it more difficult for
the money market fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets. For
example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security or
interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability.
If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any
other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues
presented by structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory
determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax
treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and
timing of distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL SECTORS:
ELECTRIC UTILITIES. The electric utilities industry has been experiencing,
and will continue to experience, increased competitive pressures. Federal
legislation in the last two years will open transmission access to any
electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to what extent
competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the availability and cost
of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital, (c) the effects of
conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of rapidly changing
environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and other federal,
state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and
(f) opposition to nuclear power.
HEALTH CARE. The health care industry is subject to regulatory
action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal,
state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the
health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and
reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other
factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic
conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance
premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the
following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations:
adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program;
other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological
advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way
in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which
alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by
employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of
health insurance and health care services.
HOUSING. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state,
county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They
generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with
the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the
supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue
or the future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there
are risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement
of bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow.
Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects,
including acceptable completion of construction, proper management,
occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws
and regulations.
EDUCATION. In general, there are two types of education-related
bonds; those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and
universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans.
Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to
the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of
decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding.
Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are
restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and
federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue
bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or
commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student
loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to
reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its
guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans
made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms
of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be
applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on
program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan
revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of
student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student
repayment deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks associated with
student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal legislation
regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency reimbursement
and continued federal interest and other program subsidies currently in
effect.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take the
form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract
and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire
land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, the funds
will not hold such obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but
will purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a
bank or other third party. A participation interest gives a fund a
specified, undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its
purchased interest in the total amount of the obligation.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with
general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set
forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt.
These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale
requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts
(which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the
governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to
acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and
statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts
include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer
has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation
clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public or
private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal
securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related
to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities
or the rights of municipal securities holders. A fund may own a municipal
security directly or through a participation interest.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the
issuer or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. They are
subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put
feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their ability
to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or other
guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and
tender options are types of put features.
QUALITY AND MATURITY (MONEY MARKET FUND ONLY) . Pursuant to
procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the fund may purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks. To
be considered high-quality, a security must be rated in accordance with
applicable rules in one of the two highest categories for short-term
securities by at least two nationally recognized rating services (or by
one, if only one rating service has rated the security); or, if unrated,
judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
High-quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. First tier securities are those deemed to be in the highest
rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-1 or SP-1), and second tier
securities are those deemed to be in the second highest rating category
(e.g., Standard & Poor's A-2 or SP-2).
The fund currently intends to limit its investments to securities with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and to maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 90 days or less. When determining the maturity of a
security, the fund may look to an interest rate reset or demand feature.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS. A fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and the fund
to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a
settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future.
A fund generally will not be obligated to pay the full purchase price if it
fails to perform under a refunding contract. Instead, refunding contracts
generally provide for payment of liquidated damages to the issuer
(currently 15-20% of the purchase price). A fund may secure its obligations
under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a letter of credit
equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the refunding contract. When
required by SEC guidelines, a fund will place liquid assets in a segregated
custodial account equal in amount to its obligations under refunding
contracts.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits 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. To protect the fund
from the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in an account of the fund at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the
accrued incremental amount. While it does not presently appear possible to
eliminate all risks from these transactions (particularly the possibility
that the value of the underlying security will be less than the resale
price, as well as delays and costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy
proceedings), it is each fund's current policy to engage in repurchase
agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been
reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
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, a fund 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, a fund might obtain a
less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security. However, in general, the money market fund anticipates
holding restricted securities to maturity or selling them in an exempt
transaction.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS . In a reverse repurchase agreement, a
fund sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement. A
fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties whose
creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may
increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's assets and may be
viewed as a form of leverage.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. FMR may rely on its
evaluation of the credit of a bank or another entity in determining whether
to purchase a security supported by a letter of credit guarantee, insurance
or other source of credit or liquidity.
STANDBY COMMITMENTS are puts that entitle holders to same-day
settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the
underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise.
Each fund may acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity of
portfolio securities.
Ordinarily a fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third party,
although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a third party
at any time. A fund may purchase standby commitments separate from or in
conjunction with the purchase of securities subject to such commitments. In
the latter case, the fund would pay a higher price for the securities
acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.
Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other
guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. FMR may
rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to
support an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In evaluating a
foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate public
information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be subject
to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or
other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's ability to
honor its credit commitment.
Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the ability of
issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the time the
commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments are not
marketable by the funds; and the possibility that the maturities of the
underlying securities may be different from those of the commitments.
TENDER OPTION BONDS are created by coupling an intermediate- or
long-term, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bond (generally held pursuant to a
custodial arrangement) with a tender agreement that gives the holder the
option to tender the bond at its face value. As consideration for providing
the tender option, the sponsor (usually a bank, broker-dealer, or other
financial institution) receives periodic fees equal to the difference
between the bond's fixed coupon rate and the rate (determined by a
remarketing or similar agent) that would cause the bond, coupled with the
tender option, to trade at par on the date of such determination. After
payment of the tender option fee, a fund effectively holds a demand
obligation that bears interest at the prevailing short-term tax-exempt
rate. In selecting tender option bonds for the funds, FMR will consider the
creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond, the custodian, and
the third party provider of the tender option. In certain instances, a
sponsor may terminate a tender option if, for example, the issuer of the
underlying bond defaults on interest payments.
VARIABLE OR FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS. including certain
participation interests in municipal instruments, have interest rate
adjustment formulas that help stabilize their market values. Many variable
and floating rate instruments also carry demand features that permit a fund
to sell them at par value plus accrued interest on short notice.
In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender options or
demand features that permit a fund to tender (or put) the bonds to an
institution at periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount
thereof. A fund considers variable rate instruments structured in this way
(Participating VRDOs) to be essentially equivalent to other VRDOs it
purchases. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on Participating
VRDOs is tax-exempt and, accordingly, a fund intends to purchase these
instruments based on opinions of bond counsel. A fund may also invest in
fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third party puts and in participation
interests in such bonds held by a bank in trust or otherwise.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments of
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
have put features.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make regular interest payments. Instead,
they are sold at a deep 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 very volatile when interest rates change. In
calculating its daily dividend, a fund takes into account as income a
portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and
its face value.
SPECIAL FACTORS AFFECTING ARIZONA
Certain Arizona constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive
orders, administrative regulations, and voter initiatives, as discussed
below, could adversely affect the market values and marketability of, or
result in default of, existing obligations, including obligations that may
be held by the funds. Obligations of the state or local governments may
also be affected by budgetary pressures affecting the State and economic
conditions in the State. The following highlights only some of the more
significant financial trends, and is based on information drawn from
official statements and prospectuses relating to securities offerings of or
on behalf of the State of Arizona, its agencies, instrumentalities and
political subdivisions, and other publicly available documents, as
available on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. FMR has
not independently verified any of the information contained in such
official statements and other publicly available documents, but is not
aware of any fact which would render such information inaccurate.
CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON TAXES, EXPENDITURES AND REVENUE INCREASES
LIMITATIONS ON TAXES. Certain obligations held by the funds may be
obligations of issuers that rely in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, on ad valorem property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing
powers of Arizona local governments and districts are limited by Arizona
Law. Arizona's property tax system was substantially revised by 1980
amendments to the Arizona Constitution and implementing legislation. There
are two separate tax systems: a Primary system for taxes levied to pay
current operation and maintenance expenses; and a Secondary system for
taxes levied to pay principal and interest on bonded indebtedness, special
district assessments and tax overrides. There are specific provisions under
each system governing property value, the basis of assessment and maximum
annual tax levies.
Under the Primary system, property value is the basis for determining
primary property taxes of locally assessed real property and may increase
by more than 10% per year only under certain circumstances. Under the
Secondary system, there is no limitation on annual increases in full cash
value of any property.
Under the Primary system, annual tax levies are limited based on the nature
of the property being taxed, and the nature of the taxing authority. Taxes
levied for Primary purposes on residential property only are limited to 1%
of the full cash value of such property. In addition, taxes levied for
Primary purposes on all types of property by counties, cities, towns and
community college districts are limited to a maximum increase of 2% over
the prior year's levy, plus any amount directly attributable to new
construction and annexation and involuntary tort judgments. The 2%
limitation does not apply to taxes levied for Primary purposes on behalf of
local school districts. Annual tax levies for bonded indebtedness and
special district assessments are unlimited under the secondary system.
EXPENDITURES LIMITS. Provisions of the Arizona Constitution and Arizona
legislation limit increases in annual expenditures by counties, cities and
towns and community college districts and school districts to an amount
determined by the Arizona Economic Estimates Commission. This limitation is
based on the entity's actual expenditures for fiscal year 1979-80, with
this base adjusted annually to reflect changes in population, cost of
living, and boundaries.
LIMITATIONS ON REVENUE INCREASES. In November of 1992 an amendment to the
Constitution of Arizona was approved by the voters and signed by the
Governor. The amendment states that any legislation that provides for a net
increase in State revenues will be effective only on the affirmative vote
of two-thirds of the members of each house of the State Legislature, and
Gubernatorial approval. If the Governor vetoes the measure, then the
legislation shall not become effective unless the legislation is approved
by an affirmative vote of three-fourths of the members of each house. The
constitutional amendment does not apply to the effects of inflation,
increasing assessed valuation or any other similar effect that increases
State revenue but which is not caused by an affirmative act of the
Legislature.
The enacted fiscal year 1993-94 , 1994-95 , and 1995-1996
budgets did not provide for any increases in State revenues that required
an approval from two-thirds of the State Legislature.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA
Under the Arizona Constitution, the State's power to contract debt is
limited to an amount of not more than $350,000 to supply casual deficits or
failures in revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for. In
addition to that authority, the State may borrow money to repel invasion,
suppress insurrection, or defend the State in time of war.
Certain State agencies and instrumentalities may issue debt secured by
limited special revenue sources. Additionally, obligations such as
lease-purchase agreements and Certificates of Participation that are
subject to annual appropriation are not debt within the meaning of
Arizona's constitutional and statutory limitations. As of June 30,
199 4 , various State agencies, boards, departments and
instrumentalities (including the Department of Transportation and State
educational institutions) had approximately $2. 25 billion of bonded
indebtedness. Certificates of Participation of State agencies and
instrumentalities outstanding at December 31 , 199 4 totalled
approximately $4 86.2 million.
ECONOMY
Arizona has been, and is projected to continue to be, one of the fastest
growing areas in the United States. Over the last several decades the State
has outpaced most other states in virtually every major category of growth,
including population, personal income, gross state product, and job
creation. From 1981 to 1992, the State's population grew 31.13% and is
currently estimated to be 4 million.
Geographically, Arizona is the nation's sixth largest state. The State is
divided into fifteen counties. Two of these counties, Maricopa County
(including Phoenix) and Pima County (including Tucson), are more urban in
nature and account for approximately 76% of total population and 82% of
total wage and salary employment in Arizona. Significant job growth has
occurred in the areas of aerospace and high technology, construction,
finance, insurance, and real estate. Major employers include Motorola,
Allied Signal, and the State.
RECENT STATE FINANCIAL RESULTS
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES - FISCAL YEAR 1994 . For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1994, general fund revenues increased by 7.6% and the State
enjoyed a general fund balance of approximately $229.2 million at year end.
General fund expenditures for that period were $4.07 billion, up from $3.77
billion in the prior fiscal year.
1994-1995 BUDGET. As of April 1995, the State's general fund revenues for
fiscal year 1995 were projected to be $4.40 billion (up 8% from the prior
year). Total general fund expenditures for that period were projected at
$4.47 billion resulting in a projected fund balance of approximately $163
million.
1995-1996 AND 1996-1997 BUDGET. For the first time this year most budget
units were appropriated funds on a biennial basis. The projected revenues
upon which the general fund budgets for such periods were based assume
continuing but moderating growth in the economy in fiscal year 1996 and
slowing growth in fiscal year 1997, but also reflect certain legislative
revenue reductions, including income tax reform, which are expected to
result in approximately a $202.7 million revenue reduction in the current
fiscal year (increasing to a $238.6 million reduction in fiscal year 1997)
as well as $84.2 million in reductions for the current period resulting
from legislation passed in prior years. Total projected revenues therefore
reflect a net 1% reduction for fiscal year 1996 and a resulting projected
reduction in the general fund ending balance to $1.93 million. This fiscal
year 1997 budget reflects a net increase in projected revenues of 2.8%.
"RAINY DAY FUND." In 1990 the Legislature enacted a formula-based Budget
Stabilization Fund into which deposits are required to be made during years
of "above-trend" economic growth, for use in "below-trend" periods. A
deposit to the Fund was first called for in fiscal year 1994, in the amount
of $42.0 million. In fiscal year 1995 the ending balance in the Fund was
expected to be $220.0 million, and the Legislature revised the formula in
connection with enacting the current fiscal year budget to reduce the
maximum balance required to be maintained in such Fund to 5% of general
fund revenues at the conclusion of a given fiscal year. This would have the
effect of returning to the general fund an estimated $5.7 million as of
June 30, 1995 and another $14.1 million (based on the adopted budget) as of
June 30, 1996.
OTHER CHANGES IN BUDGET POLICY. As of the end of fiscal 1995, the
Legislature decided to end the use of the "Midnight Reversion" accounting
technique, pursuant to which certain unspent general fund appropriations
had been treated as reverting to the general fund ending balance even
though such moneys were available for expenditures immediately in the new
fiscal year. This change conforms to Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) and ending the practice cost the general fund $27.4
million in Fiscal Year 1995.
CERTAIN LITIGATION. Based on a 1993 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the
State has determined to issue refund s , including statutory
interest, of State income taxes previously collected on Federal
retirees' pensions. The cost of this program (expected to be
approximately $159.4 million) will be spread over a five year period ending
in fiscal year 1998.
OBLIGATIONS OF OTHER ISSUERS
ASSESSMENT BONDS. Municipal obligations which are assessment bonds or
community facilities district bonds may be adversely affected by a general
decline in real estate values or a slowdown in real estate sales activity.
In many cases, such bonds are secured by land which is undeveloped at the
time of issuance but anticipated to be developed within a few years after
issuance. In the event of such reduction or slowdown, such development may
not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing the risk of a default on
the bonds. The lien on the property is the only security for such bonds.
LEASE-PURCHASE OBLIGATIONS. Certain Arizona lease-purchase obligations,
though payable from the general fund of the State or municipality,
are subject to annual appropriation by the applicable governing body
in amounts sufficient to pay the lease. Nonappropriation is legally not a
default and there may be no adequate remedies available to the holders of
the certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event
nonappropriation occurs.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. The repayment of mortgage revenue bonds or other
obligations secured by real property may be affected by laws limiting
creditors' rights and subject to the exercise of judicial discretion.
Health care and hospital securities may be affected by changes in State
regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care providers under
AHCCCS (the State's indigent health care program).
In recent years many cities, towns and counties have experienced declines
or slowing growth in the Secondary assessed valuation, causing a reduction
or slower growth in property tax receipts and putting pressure on local
budgets and capital improvement projects supported by such receipts.
Municipalities are responding to these developments by a variety of methods
including increasing the Secondary property tax rate, deferring property
tax-supported bond projects, and using other revenue sources to fund
projects.
Legislation has been or may be introduced which would modify existing taxes
or other revenue-raising measures. It is not presently possible to predict
the extent to which any such legislation will be enacted, or if enacted,
how it would affect Arizona municipal obligations.
SPECIAL FACTORS AFFECTING PUERTO RICO
The following only highlights some of the more significant financial
trends and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the
"Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn from
official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities offerings
of Puerto Rico and its agencies and instrumentalities, as available on the
date of this Statement of Additional Information. FMR has not independently
verified any of the information contained in such official statements,
prospectuses, and other publicly available documents, but is not aware of
any fact which would render such information materially inaccurate.
The economy of Puerto Rico is closely linked with that of the United
States, and in fiscal 1993 trade with the United States accounted for
approximately 86% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 69% of its
imports. In this regard, in fiscal 1993 Puerto Rico experienced a $2.5
billion positive adjusted merchandise trade balance. Since fiscal 1987,
personal income, both aggregate and per capita, has increased consistently
each year. In fiscal 1993 aggregate personal income was $24.1 billion and
personal per capita income was $6,760. Gross domestic product in fiscal
1991, 1992, and 1993 was $22.8 billion, $23.5 billion, and $25 billion,
respectively. For fiscal 1994, an increase in gross domestic product of
2.9% over fiscal 1993 is forecasted. However, actual growth in the Puerto
Rico economy will depend on several factors, including the condition of the
U.S. economy, the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar and the price stability
of oil imports and interest rates. Due to these factors, there is no
assurance that the economy of Puerto Rico will continue to grow.
Puerto Rico's economy continued to expand throughout the five-year period
from fiscal 1989 through fiscal 1993. While trends in the Puerto Rico
economy generally follow those of the United States, Puerto Rico did not
experience a recession primarily because of its strong manufacturing base,
which has a large component of non-cyclical industries. Other factors
behind the continued expansion included Commonwealth-sponsored economic
development programs, stable prices of oil imports, low exchange rates for
the U.S. dollar, and the relatively low cost of borrowing funds during the
period.
Puerto Rico has made marked improvements in fighting unemployment.
Unemployment is at a low level compared to that of the late 1970s, but it
still remains significantly above the U.S. average and has been increasing
in recent years. Despite long-term improvements the unemployment rate rose
from 16.5% to 17.5% from fiscal 1992 to fiscal 1993. However, by the end of
January 1994, the unemployment rate had dropped to 16.3%.
The economy of Puerto Rico has undergone a transformation in the later half
of this century from one centered around agriculture to one dominated by
the manufacturing and service industries. Manufacturing is the cornerstone
of Puerto Rico's economy, accounting for $14.1 billion or 39.4% of gross
domestic product in fiscal 1993. However, manufacturing has experienced a
basic change over the years as a result of the influx of higher wages, high
technology industries such as the pharmaceutical industry, electronics,
computers, micro processors, scientific instruments, and high technology
machinery. The service sector, which employs the largest number of people,
includes wholesale and retail trade, finance, and real estate, and ranks
second in its contribution to gross domestic product. In fiscal 1993, the
service sector generated $14.0 billion in gross domestic product or 39.1%
of the total and employed over 467,000 workers providing 46.7% of total
employment. The government sector of the Commonwealth plays an important
role in Puerto Rico's economy. In fiscal year 1993, the government
accounted for $3.9 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product and
provided 21.7% of the total employment. Tourism also contributes
significantly to the island economy, accounting for $1.6 billion of gross
domestic product in fiscal 1993.
The present administration, which took office in January 1993, envisions
major economic reforms and has developed a new economic development program
to be implemented in the next few years. This program is based on the
premise that the private sector will be the primary vehicle for economic
development and growth. The program promotes changing the role of the
government from one of being a provider of most basic services to one of
being a facilitator for private sector initiatives and will encourage
private sector investment by reducing regulatory restraints. The program
contemplates the development of initiatives that will foster private
investment, both external and internal, in areas that are served more
efficiently and effectively by the private sector. The program also
contemplates a general revision of the tax system to expand the tax base,
reduce top personal and corporate tax rates, and simplify a highly complex
system. Other important goals for the new program are to reduce the size of
the government's direct contribution to gross domestic product and, to
facilitate private sector development and growth which would be realized
through a reduction in government consumption and an increase in government
investment in order to improve and expand Puerto Rico's infrastructure.
Much of the development of the manufacturing sector of the economy of
Puerto Rico is attributable to federal and Commonwealth tax incentives,
most notably section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
("Section 936") and the Commonwealth's Industrial Incentives Program.
Section 936 currently grants U.S. corporations that meet certain criteria
and elect its application, a credit against their U.S. corporate income tax
on the portion of the tax attributable to (i) income derived from the
active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico ("active income"), or
from the sale or exchange of substantially all the assets used in the
active conduct of such trade or business, and (ii) qualified possession
sources investment income ("passive income"). The Industrial Incentives
Program, through the 1987 Industrial Incentives Act, grants corporations
engaged in certain qualified activities a fixed 90% exemption from
Commonwealth income and property taxes and a 60% exemption from municipal
license taxes.
Pursuant to recently enacted amendments to the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), and for taxable years commencing after 1993, two alternative
limitations will apply to the Section 936 credit against active business
income and sale of assets as previously described. The first option will
limit the credit against such income to 40% of the credit allowed under
current law, with a five-year phase-in period starting at 60% of the
current credit. The second option will limit the allowable credit to the
sum of (i) 60% of qualified compensation paid to employees (as defined in
the Code); (ii) a specified percentage of depreciation deductions; and
(iii) a portion of the Puerto Rico income taxes paid by the Section 936
corporation, up to a 9% effective tax rate.
At present, it is difficult to forecast what the short- and long-term
effects of the new limitations to the Section 936 credit will be on the
economy of Puerto Rico. However, preliminary econometric studies by the
government of Puerto Rico and private sector economists (assuming no
enhancements to the existing Industrial Incentives Program) project only a
slight reduction in average real growth rates for the economy of Puerto
Rico. These studies also show that particular industry groups will be
affected differently. For example, manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and
beverages may suffer a larger reduction in tax benefits due to their
relatively higher profit margins. In addition, the above limitations are
not expected to reduce the tax credit currently enjoyed by labor-intensive,
lower profit margin industries, which represent approximately 40% of the
total employment by Section 936 corporations in Puerto Rico.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed
on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the funds'
management contracts. In the case of the money market fund, FMR has granted
investment management authority to the sub-adviser (see the section
entitled "Management Contracts"), and the 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 below. FMR is also responsible
for the placement of transaction orders for other investment companies and
accounts for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser.
Securities purchased and sold by the money market fund generally will be
traded on a net basis (i.e., without commission). 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; and
the reasonableness of any commissions.
The funds may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds or other 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 accounts; effect securities transactions, and perform
functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). FMR
maintains a listing of broker-dealers who provide such services on a
regular basis. However, as many transactions on behalf of the money market
fund are placed with broker-dealers (including broker-dealers on the list)
without regard to the furnishing of such services, it is not possible to
estimate the proportion of such transactions directed to such
broker-dealers solely because such services were provided. The selection of
such broker-dealers generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible
consistent with execution considerations) based upon the quality of
research and execution services provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the funds 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 the funds. 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.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive 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
each 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 the funds and 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.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the funds, or shares of other Fidelity
funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services
provided by and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI), a subsidiary of FMR Corp., if the commissions are fair,
reasonable, and comparable to commissions charged by non-affiliated,
qualified brokerage firms for similar services.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members
of national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI to execute portfolio transactions on national securities
exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
Each fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions
on behalf of the funds and review the commissions paid by each fund over
representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the fund.
For the fiscal period ended August 31 , 1995, the portfolio turnover
rate was 56% for Spartan Arizona Municipal Income .
For fiscal 1995, Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market and
Spartan Arizona Municipal Income paid no brokerage commissions.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or
similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each 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 each fund to seek such
recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for each fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or 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 accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and 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
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 each fund is concerned. In other cases,
however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions
will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current
opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as
investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be
said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
INCOME FUND. Valuatio ns of portfolio securities furnished by
the pricing service employed by the fund are based upon a computerized
matrix system or appraisals by the pricing service, in each case in
reliance upon information concerning market transactions and quotations
from recognized municipal securities dealers. The methods used by the
pricing service and the quality of valuations so established are reviewed
by officers of the fund and FSC under the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees. There are a number of pricing services available, and the
Trustees, or officers acting on behalf of the Trustees, on the basis of
on-going evaluation of these services, may use other pricing services or
discontinue the use of any pricing service in whole or in part.
MONEY MARKET FUND. The money market fund values its investments on the
basis of amortized cost. This technique involves valuing an instrument at
its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount
rather than its value based on current market quotations or appropriate
substitutes which reflect current market conditions. The amortized cost
value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price the fund would
receive if it sold the instrument.
Valuing the money market fund's instruments on the basis of amortized cost
and use of the term "money market fund" are permitted by Rule 2a-7 under
the 1940 Act. The fund must adhere to certain conditions under Rule 2a-7.
The Board of Trustees of the fund oversees FMR's adherence to SEC rules
concerning money market funds, and has established procedures designed to
stabilize the fund's NAV at $1.00. At such intervals as they deem
appropriate, the Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by
using market valuations would deviate from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees
believe that a deviation from the fund's amortized cost per share may
result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the
Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if any, as they deem
appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable,
the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective action could include
selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or
losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends;
redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market
quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
During periods of declining interest rates, the money market fund's yield
based on amortized cost may be higher than the yield based on market
valuations. Under these circumstances, a shareholder in the fund would be
able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result if the fund
utilized market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply
in a period of rising interest rates.
PERFORMANCE
The funds may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns. A bond fund's share price, and each
fund's yield and total return fluctuate in response to market conditions
and other factors, and the value of a bond fund's shares when redeemed may
be more or less than their original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute the money market fund's yield for a period,
the net change in value of a hypothetical account containing one share
reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the
one original share and dividends declared on both the original share and
any additional shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the
account at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This
base period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. The
money market fund also may calculate a compound effective yield by
compounding the base period return over a one-year period. In addition to
the current yield, the money market fund may quote yields in advertising
based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for the money market fund
are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as required
by regulation.
For the bond fund, yields are computed by dividing the fund's interest
income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the
average number of shares entitled to receive dividends during the period,
dividing this figure by the fund's net asset value per share (NAV) at the
end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding of
income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Yields do not
reflect the fund's .50% redemption fee, which applies to shares held less
than 180 days. Income is calculated for purposes of the bond fund's 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. Capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the
calculation.
Income calculated for the purposes of determining the bond 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 bond 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 a fund's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, each 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 a
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 a 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.
A fund's tax-equivalent yield is the rate an investor would have to earn
from a fully taxable investment before taxes to equal the fund's tax-free
yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing a fund's yield by
the result of one minus a stated federal or combined federal and state tax
rate. If only a portion of a fund's yield is tax-exempt, only that portion
is adjusted in the calculation.
The following tables show the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal and state income tax laws for 1995. The
second table shows the approximate yield a taxable security must provide at
various income brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of
hypothetical tax-exempt obligations yielding from 2% to 7%. Of course, no
assurance can be given that a fund will achieve any specific tax-exempt
yield. While the funds invest principally in obligations whose interest is
exempt from federal and state income tax, other income received by the
funds may be taxable. The tables do not take into account local taxes, if
any, payable on fund distributions.
Use the first table to find your approximate effective tax bracket taking
into account federal and state taxes for 1995.

Each fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are
subject to state or federal income taxes. When a fund invests in these
obligations, its tax-equivalent yield will be lower. In the table above,
the tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming investments are 100%
federally and state tax-free.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising
reflect all aspects of a 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. Average annual total returns are calculated by
determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical
investment in a 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 total return of 100% over ten years would
produce an average annual total return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual
rate of return that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten
years. Average annual total returns covering periods of less than one
year are calculated by determining a fund's total return for the period,
extending that return for a full year (assuming that return remains
constant over the year), and quoting the result as an annual return.
While average annual total returns are a convenient means of comparing
investment alternatives, investors should realize that a fund's performance
is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average
annual total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or
cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns 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. Total 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 total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis and may or may not include the effect of the
bond fund's .50% redemption fee on shares held less than 180 days.
Excluding a fund's redemption fee from a total return calculation produces
a higher total return figure. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration, and may omit or include the effect of the $5.00 account
closeout fee.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using a fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by a fund and
reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, a fund's
adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following tables show the money market
fund's 7-day yields, the bond fund's 30-day yields, each fund's
tax-equivalent yields, and total returns for the period ended August
31 , 1995. Total return figures include the effect of the $5.00 account
closeout fee based on an average size account, but not the bond fund's
.50 % redemption fee, applicable to shares held less than 180
days.
The tax-equivalent yield is based on a combined effective federal and state
income tax rate of 39.58% and reflects that, as of August 31 , 1995,
an estimated 0% of each fund's income was subject to state taxes. Note that
each fund may invest in securities whose income is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax.

Each fund may compare its return to the record of the Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P 500), the Dow Jones Industrial Average
(DJIA), and the cost of living (measured by the Consumer Price Index, or
CPI) over the same period. The S&P 500 and DJIA comparisons would show how
each fund's total return compared to the record of a broad average of
common stocks and a narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies,
respectively, over the same period. Of course, since each fund invests in
short-term 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 funds. Figures for the S&P 500 and DJIA are based on the prices of
unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike the fund's returns, their returns do
not include the effect of paying brokerage commissions or other costs of
investing.
During the period from October 11, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
August 31 , 1995, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Spartan
Arizona Municipal Money Market would have grown to $10,343, assuming all
distributions were reinvested. This was a period of fluctuating interest
rates and bond prices and the figures below should not be considered
representative of the dividend income or capital gain or loss that could be
realized from an investment in the fund today.

Explanatory Notes: With an initial investment of $10,000 made on October
11, 1994 the net amount invested in fund shares was $10,000. The cost of
the initial investment ($10,000), 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 $10,343.
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 $338 for dividends and $0 for capital
gains distributions. Tax consequences of different investments have not
been factored into the above figures. The figures in the table do not
reflect the effect of the fund's $5.00 account closeout fee.
During the period from October 11, 1995 (commencement of operations) to

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A 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. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of
total return, assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take
sales charges or redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank funds based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may be
compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indices
prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indices, 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, a 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.
A 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,
a fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, a
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 indices.
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 total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
A fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. The IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/All
Tax-Free, which is reported in the MONEY FUND REPORT(registered trademark),
covers over 389 tax-free money market funds. The Bond Fund Report
AverageS(trademark)/Municipal, which is reported in the BOND FUND
REPORT(registered trademark), covers over 569 tax-free bond funds.
When evaluating comparisons to money market funds, investors should
consider the relevant differences in investment objectives and policies.
Specifically, money market funds invest in short-term, high-quality
instruments and seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Bond funds,
however, invests in longer-term instruments and its share price changes
daily in response to a variety of factors.
A fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative advantages of
investing in a mutual fund versus an individual municipal bond. Unlike
tax-free mutual funds, individual municipal bonds offer a stated rate of
interest and, if held to maturity, repayment of principal. Although some
individual municipal bonds might offer a higher return, they do not offer
the reduced risk of a mutual fund that invests in many different
securities. The initial investment requirements and sales charges of many
tax-free mutual funds are lower than the purchase cost of individual
municipal bonds, which are generally issued in $5,000 denominations and are
subject to direct brokerage costs.
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; charitable giving; and the Fidelity credit
card. 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,
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund
shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and CUSIP
number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The bond 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 total
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, a fund may also discuss or illustrate examples of interest
rate sensitivity.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate a 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.
A 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.
As of August 31 , 1995, FMR advised over $26.5 billion in tax-free
fund assets, $79 billion in money market fund assets, $218 billion in
equity fund assets, $56 billion in international fund assets, and $23
billion in Spartan fund assets. The funds 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, each fund may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked
by Lipper. A fund's total expense ratio is a significant factor in
comparing bond and money market investments because of its effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
Each fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV)
is calculated each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for
trading. The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1995:
New Year's Day (observed), Presidents' Day (observed), Good Friday,
Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day (observed), Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day (observed). Although FMR expects the
same holiday schedule to be observed in the future, the NYSE may modify its
holiday schedule at any time. In addition, the funds will not process wire
purchases and redemptions on days when the Federal Reserve Wire System is
closed.
FSC normally determines each fund's NAV as of the close 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). To the extent that portfolio securities are
traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is closed, a fund's NAV may
be affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to
purchase or redeem shares. In addition, trading in some of a fund's
portfolio securities may not occur on days when the fund is open for
business.
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 a 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.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act), each fund is required to give shareholders at least 60 days'
notice prior to terminating or modifying its exchange privilege. Under the
Rule, the 60-day notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only
effect of a modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative
fee, redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the
time of an exchange, or (ii) the fund suspends the redemption of the shares
to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the sale of its
shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in accordance
with its investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it reserves the
right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange purchases by
any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as
federally tax-exempt interest, the daily dividends declared by the fund are
also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are distributed as
dividend income, but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.
These gains will be taxed as ordinary income. Each fund will send each
shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of dividend and
capital gain distributions (if any) for the prior year.
Shareholders are required to report tax-exempt income on their federal tax
returns. Shareholders who earn other income, such as Social Security
benefits, may be subject to federal income tax on up to 85% of such
benefits to the extent that their income, including tax-exempt income,
exceeds certain base amounts.
Each fund purchases municipal securities that are free from federal
income tax based on opinions of counsel regarding their tax status. These
opinions generally will be based on covenants by the issuers or other
parties regarding continuing compliance with federal tax requirements. If
at any time the covenants are not complied with, distribution to
shareholders of interest on a security could become federally taxable
retroactive to the date the security was issued. For certain types of
structure securities, opinions of counsel may also be based on the effect
of the structure on the federal and state tax treatment of the income.
As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest on certain "private
activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
(AMT), although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income
for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities will be
considered tax-exempt for purposes of each fund's policies of investing so
that at least 80% of its assets are in municipal securities whose interest
is free from federal income tax. Interest from private activity securities
is a tax preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer
is subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any. Private
activity securities issued after August 7, 1986 to benefit a private or
industrial user or to finance a private facility are affected by this rule.
A portion of the gain on bonds purchased with market discount after April
30, 1993 and short-term capital gains distributed by each fund are taxable
to shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains. The money market fund
may distribute any net realized short-term capital gains and taxable market
discount once a year or more often, as necessary, to maintain its net asset
value at $1.00 per share.
Corporate investors should note that a tax preference item for purposes of
the corporate AMT is 75% of the amount by which adjusted current earnings
(which includes tax-exempt interest) exceeds the alternative minimum
taxable income of the corporation. If a shareholder receives an
exempt-interest dividend and sells shares at a loss after holding them for
a period of six months or less, the loss will be disallowed to the extent
of the amount of exempt-interest dividend.
ARIZONA TAX MATTERS. The Arizona Department of Revenue has ruled that
dividends paid by a regulated investment company are exempt from Arizona
state income tax to the extent such dividends are derived from interest on
obligations the interest on which is exempt from Arizona state income tax.
For purposes of Arizona income taxation, distributions derived from
interest on other types of obligations (i.e., obligations the interest on
which is not exempt from Arizona state income tax) will be taxable as
ordinary income, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares.
Distributions of net capital gains (both short-and long-term net capital
gains) are not exempt from Arizona income taxation and are taxed at
ordinary income tax rates. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued
by a shareholder in connection with the purchase of shares of a fund will
not be deductible for Arizona personal income tax purposes.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by
each fund on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of
time shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives a
long-term capital gain distribution on shares of a fund, and such shares
are held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss
equal to the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains
distributed by each fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as
capital gains.
As of August 31 , 1995, the money market fund had a capital loss
carryforward aggregating approximately $12. This loss carryforward will
expire on August 31 , 2003, and is available to offset future capital
gains.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes 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,
each 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. Each fund intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies, including a requirement that
capital gains from the sale of securities held less than three months
constitute less than 30% of the fund's gross income for each fiscal year.
Gains from some futures contracts and options are included in this 30%
calculation, which may limit a fund's investments in such instruments.
Each fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of Fidelity
Union Street Trust (Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio) and
Fidelity Union Street Trust II (Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market
Portfolio) for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of
some of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences. 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.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent company
organized in 1972. 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 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 three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the transfer
and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds advised by FMR;
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, which performs
shareholder servicing functions for institutional customers and funds sold
through intermediaries; and 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
account 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.

+ Estimated
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988, the non-interested
Trustees, upon reaching age 72, become eligible to participate in a
retirement program under which they receive payments during their lifetime
from a fund based on their basic trustee fees and length of service. The
obligation of a fund to make such payments are not secured or funded.
Trustees become eligible if, at the time of retirement, they have served on
the Board for at least five years. Currently, Messrs. Ralph S. Saul,
William R. Spaulding, Bertram H. Witham, and David L. Yunich, all former
non-interested Trustees, receive retirement benefits under the program.
As of August 31, 1995, the Trustees and officers of the funds owned, in
the aggregate, less than 1% of each fund's total outstanding shares. Also,
as of that date, Steven and Jung J. Malandris, 800 Oakhurst Drive,
Cheyenne, WY, were known by the fund to own of record or beneficially
approximately 7.8% of the money market fund's total outstanding shares and
Louis R. Becker, 9849 West Thunderbird Boulevard, Sun City, AZ, was known
by the fund to own of record or beneficially approximately 8.5% of the
income fund's total outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment
adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs
the investments of each fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies, and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing each fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are "interested
persons" of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of each 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 each fund. These services include providing facilities
for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with
custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters, and
other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each
fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal and
state laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund;
and furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects
to the Trustees.
FMR is responsible for the payment of all expenses of the funds with
certain exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR include, without
limitation, expenses for the typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy
materials to shareholders; legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian,
auditor and non-interested Trustees; costs of typesetting, printing, and
mailing prospectuses and statements of additional information, notices and
reports to shareholders; each fund's proportionate share of insurance
premiums and Investment Company Institute dues. FMR also provides for
transfer agent and dividend disbursing services and portfolio and general
accounting record maintenance through FSC.
FMR pays all other expenses of each fund with the following exceptions:
fees and expenses of all Trustees of the trust who are not "interested
persons" of the trust or FMR (the non-interested Trustees); interest on
borrowings; taxes; brokerage commissions (if any); and such nonrecurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a fund
may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify the officers
and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is each fund's manager pursuant to management contracts dated September
16, 1994, which were approved by FMR, then sole shareholders of each fund,
on October 3, 1994. The management fee paid to FMR is reduced by an amount
equal to the fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees.
For the services of FMR under the contract, the money market fund and the
bond fund each pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .50%
and .55%, respectively, of average net assets throughout the month. Fees
received by FMR, after reduction of fees and expenses of the non-interested
Trustees, for the periods shown in the table below.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of
each fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses). 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 each fund's total returns and yield and repayment of
the reimbursement by each fund will lower its total returns and yield.
During the fiscal periods reported, FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
funds to the extent that each fund's aggregate operating expenses were in
excess of an annual rate of its average net assets. The table below
identifies the funds in reimbursement; the levels of and periods for such
reimbursement; the amount of management fees incurred under each contract
before reimbursement; and the dollar amount reimbursed by FMR, if any, for
each period.

SUB-ADVISER. On behalf of the money market fund, FMR has entered
into a sub-advisory agreement with FTX pursuant to which FTX has primary
responsibility for providing portfolio investment management services to
the fund.
Under the sub-advisory agreement, dated September 16, 1994, which was
approved by FMR, then sole shareholder, on October 3, 1994, FMR pays FTX
fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management
contract with the fund. The fees paid to FTX are not reduced by any
voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from
time to time. On behalf of the money market fund, for fiscal 1995, FMR paid
FTX fees of $62,935.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of
the funds (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (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 a fund except
pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The
Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur
certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by
the funds of distribution expenses.
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the funds to FMR is
deemed to be indirect financing by the funds of the distribution of their
shares, such payment is authorized by the Plans. Each Plan also
specifically recognizes that FMR, either directly or through FDC, may use
its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources, without
limitation, to pay promotional and administrative expenses in connection
with the offer and sale of shares of each fund. In addition, each Plan
provides that FMR may use its resources, including its management fee
revenues, to make payments to third parties that assist in selling shares
of each fund, or to third parties, including banks, that render shareholder
support services.
The Trustees have not authorized such payments to date.
Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the
Plans do not authorize payments by a fund other than those made to FMR
under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan
gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution
of shares of each fund, additional sales of fund shares may result.
Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more
effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have
other relationships.
The Plans were approved by FMR, as the then sole shareholder of each fund,
on October 3, 1994.
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 funds
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 financial institutions may be required to register as
dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities
issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans.
No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be
shown in the selection of investments.
CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES
UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is each fund's custodian and transfer agent. UMB
has entered into sub-contracts with FSC, an affiliate of FMR, under the
terms of which FSC performs the processing activities associated with
providing transfer agent and shareholder servicing functions for each fund.
Under this arrangement, FSC receives annual account fees and asset-based
fees for each retail account and certain institutional accounts based on
account size. In addition, the fees for retail accounts are subject to
increase based on postal rate changes. With respect to certain
institutional retirement accounts, FSC receives asset-based fees only. With
respect to certain other institutional retirement accounts, FSC receives
annual account fees and asset based fees based on fund type. FSC also
collects small account fees from certain accounts with balances of less
than $2,500. UMB has additional sub-contracts with FSC, pursuant to which
FSC performs the calculations necessary to determine each fund's net asset
value per share and dividends and maintains each fund's accounting records.
Under this arrangement, FSC receives a fee based on each fund's average net
assets. UMB is entitled to reimbursement from FMR for fees paid to FSC
since FMR must bear these costs pursuant to its management contract with
each fund.
Each fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts
corporation organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is 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 each fund, which are continuously
offered at net asset value. Promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS
TRUSTS' ORGANIZATION. Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio is a fund
(series) of Fidelity Union Street Trust (the Massachusetts trust) an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on March 1, 1974. On April 30, 1990, the Board of Trustees
voted to change the name of the trust from Fidelity Daily Income Trust to
Fidelity Union Street Trust. Currently, there are eight funds of the
Massachusetts trust: Fidelity Export Fund, Spartan Aggressive Municipal
Fund, Spartan Ginnie Mae Fund, Spartan Intermediate Municipal Fund, Spartan
Maryland Municipal Income Fund, Spartan Municipal Income Portfolio, Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund, and Spartan Arizona Municipal Income
Portfolio. The Massachusetts trust's Declaration of Trust permits the
Trustees to create additional funds.
Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Portfolio is a fund (series) of
Fidelity Union Street Trust II (the Delaware trust) an open-end management
investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on June 20, 1991.
Currently, there four funds of the Delaware trust: Fidelity Daily Income
Trust, Spartan Municipal Money Fund, Spartan World Money Market Fund, and
Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Portfolio. The Delaware trust's
Trust Instrument permits the Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be investment adviser to a trust or any
of its funds, the right of the trust or the fund to use the identifying
names "Fidelity" and "Spartan" may be withdrawn. There is a remote
possibility that one fund might become liable for any misstatement in its
prospectus or statement of additional information about another fund.
The assets of each trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof,
subject only to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such
fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying
assets of each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be
charged with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of
the general expenses of their respective trusts. Expenses with respect to
the trusts are to be allocated in proportion to the asset value of their
respective funds, except where allocations of direct expense can otherwise
be fairly made. The officers of the trusts, subject to the general
supervision of the Boards of Trustees, have the power to determine which
expenses are allocable to a given fund, or which are general or allocable
to all of the funds of a certain trust. In the event of the dissolution or
liquidation of a trust, shareholders of each fund of that trust are
entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund available
for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY - MASSACHUSETTS TRUST. The
Massachusetts trust is an entity of the type commonly known as
"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 Massachusetts 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
Massachusetts trust or its Trustees shall include a provision limiting the
obligations created thereby to the Massachusetts trust and its assets. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's
property of any shareholders held personally liable for the obligations of
the fund. 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 the 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.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects Trustees
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of their office.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY - DELAWARE TRUST. The Delaware trust is a
business trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that
shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal
liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit. The
courts of some states, however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this
point. The Trust Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder
liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the
Delaware trust and requires that a disclaimer be given in each contract
entered into or executed by the Delaware trust or its Trustees. The Trust
Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any
shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the fund. The Trust Instrument 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
Delaware law does not apply, no contractual limitation of liability was in
effect, and the fund is unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that,
in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is
extremely remote.
The Trust Instrument further provides that the Trustees shall not be
personally liable to any person other than the Delaware trust or its
shareholders; moreover, the Trustees shall not be liable for any conduct
whatsoever, provided that Trustees are not protected against any liability
to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved
in the conduct of their office.
VOTING RIGHTS - BOTH TRUSTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of
beneficial interest. As a shareholder of the Massachusetts trust, you
receive one vote for each dollar value of net asset value you own. As a
shareholder of the Delaware trust, you receive one vote for each share you
own. The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; voting and
dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of exchange are
described in the Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable,
except as set forth under the respective "Shareholder and Trustee
Liability" headings above. Shareholders representing 10% or more of a trust
or one of its funds may, as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or Trust
Instrument, call meetings of the trust or fund for any purpose related to
the trust or fund, as the case may be, including, in the case of a meeting
of an entire trust, the purpose on voting on removal of one or more
Trustees.
A trust or any fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to (or,
in the case of the Delaware trust and its funds, merger with) another
open-end management investment company or series thereof, or upon
liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally such terminations
must be approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the trust or the fund (for the Delaware trust), or by a vote of
the holders of a majority of the trust or fund, as determined by the
current value of each shareholder's investment in the trust or fund (for
the Massachusetts trust); however, the Trustees of the Delaware trust may,
without prior shareholder approval, change the form of the organization of
the Delaware trust by merger, consolidation, or incorporation. If not so
terminated or reorganized, the trusts and their funds will continue
indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instrument, the Trustees may, without shareholder vote,
cause the Delaware trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, so long as the surviving entity is an
open-end management investment company that will succeed to or assume the
Delaware trust registration statement, or cause the Delaware trust to be
incorporated under Delaware law. Each fund of the Massachusetts and
Delaware business trusts may also invest all of its assets in another
investment company.
CUSTODIAN. UMB Bank, n.a., 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri
64106, is custodian of the assets of the funds. The custodian is
responsible for the safekeeping of the funds' assets and the appointment of
subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. The custodian takes no part in
determining the investment policies of the funds or in deciding which
securities are purchased or sold by the funds. The funds may, however,
invest in obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities from or
sell securities to the custodian. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, The Bank of New York, and Chemical Bank, each headquartered in New
York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets in
connection with pooled repurchase agreement transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and 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. Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., One Post Office Square, Boston,
Massachusetts (bond fund) and 1999 Bryan Street, Dallas, Texas (money
market fund) serves as the trusts' independent accountant. The auditor
examines financial statements for the funds and provides other audit, tax,
and related services.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal
period ended August 31 , 1995 are included in the funds' Annual
Report, which is a separate report supplied with this Statement of
Additional Information. Each fund's financial statements and financial
highlights are incorporated herein by reference.
APPENDIX
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY is derived by multiplying the value of
each investment by the number of days 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.
When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call an issue of bonds and
has established an independent escrow account that is sufficient to, and is
pledged to, refund that issue, the number of days to maturity for the
prerefunded bond is considered to be the number of days to the announced
call date of the bonds.
The descriptions that follow are examples of eligible ratings for the
funds. A fund may, however, consider the ratings for other types of
investments and the ratings assigned by other rating organizations when
determining the eligibility of a particular investment.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S RATINGS OF STATE
AND MUNICIPAL NOTES:
Moody's ratings for state and municipal and other short-term obligations
will be designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG, or VMIG for variable rate
obligations). This distinction is in recognition of the difference between
short-term credit risk and long-term credit risk. Factors affecting the
liquidity of the borrower and short-term cyclical elements are critical in
short-term ratings, while other factors of major importance in bond risk,
long-term secular trends for example, may be less important in the short
run. Symbols used will be as follows:
MIG - 1/VMIG - 1 - This designation denotes best quality.
There is present strong protection by established cash flows, superior
liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for
refinancing.
MIG - 2/VMIG - 2 - This designation denotes high quality.
Margins of protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding
group.
MIG - 3/VMIG - 3 - This designation denotes favorable
quality. All security elements are accounted for, but there is lacking the
undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Liquidity and cash flow
protection may be narrow and market access for refinancing is likely to be
less well established.
MIG - 4/VMIG - 4 - This designation denotes adequate
quality. Protection commonly regarded as required of an investment security
is present and, although not distinctly or predominantly speculative, there
is specific risk.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S RATINGS OF STATE AND
MUNICIPAL NOTES:
SP - 1 - Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An
issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is
given a plus (+) designation.
SP - 2 - Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest,
with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the
term of the notes.
SP - 3 - Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S MUNICIPAL BOND
RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best
quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are
generally referred to as "gilt edged." Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While
the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can
be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position
of such issues.
AA - Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by
all standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally
known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because
margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may
be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat
larger than the Aaa securities.
A - Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate
but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment
sometime in the future.
BAA - Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade
obligations, (i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured).
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present
but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as
well.
BA - Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative
elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the
future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.
B - Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may
be small.
CAA - Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues
may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect
to principal or interest.
There are nine basic rating categories for long-term obligations. They
range from AAA (highest quality) to C (lowest quality). Those bonds within
the AA, A, BAA, BA and B categories that Moody's believes possess the
strongest credit attributes within those categories are designated by the
symbols AA1, A1, BAA1, BA1 and B1.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S MUNICIPAL BOND
RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal
is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and
repay principal and differs from the higher-rated issues only in small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects
of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher
rated categories.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated
categories.
BB - Debt rate BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than
other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
The BB rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt
that is assigned an actual or implied BBB- rating.
B - Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but
currently has the capacity to meet interest payments and principal
repayments. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely
impair capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied BB or BB- rating.
CCC - Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to
default, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is
not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The
CCC rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied B or B- rating.
The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Item 25. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant
The Registrant's Board of Trustees is the same as the boards of other
funds managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company. In addition, the
officers of these funds are substantially identical. Nonetheless,
Registrant takes the position that it is not under common control with
these other funds since the power residing in the respective boards and
officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective
funds.
Item 26. Number of Holders of Securities: August 31, 1995
Title of Class: Shares of Beneficial Interest
Name of Series Number of Record Holders
Fidelity Daily Income Trust 64,674
Spartan Municipal Money Fund 17,572
Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Portfolio 368
Spartan World Money Market Portfolio 0
Item 27. Indemnification
Pursuant to Del. Code Ann. title 12 (sub-section) 3817, a Delaware
business trust may provide in its governing instrument for the
indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all
claims and demands whatsoever. Article X, Section 10.02 of the Declaration
of Trust states that the Registrant shall indemnify any present trustee or
officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all
expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim,
action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his
or her service as a trustee, officer, or both, and against any amount
incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a
person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the
Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively,
"disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Registrant.
In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless
there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust,
that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Registrant
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its
directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any
loss, liability, claim, damages or expense arising by reason of any person
acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration
statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder
reports or other information filed or made public by the Registrant
included a materially misleading statement or omission. However, the
Registrant does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless

and is not based on and does not result from the Transfer Agent's willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties, and
arises out of or in connection with the Transfer Agent's performance under
the Transfer Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to
by the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or
reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the

reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any
person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of the Transfer
Agent's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by the Transfer
Agent to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of
the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock
certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed,

Exhibit 15c
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
of Fidelity Union Street Trust II:
Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Portfolio
1. This Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan"), when effective in
accordance with its terms, shall be the written plan contemplated by Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") of Spartan
Arizona Municipal Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a series of
shares of Fidelity Union Street Trust II (the "Fund").
2. The Fund has entered into a General Distribution Agreement with respect
to the Portfolio with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (the
"Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity Management & Research
Company (the "Adviser"), under which the Distributor uses all reasonable
efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for the
Portfolio's shares of beneficial interest ("shares"). Under the agreement,
the Distributor pays the expenses of printing and distributing any
prospectuses, reports and other literature used by the Distributor,
advertising, and other promotional activities in connection with the
offering of shares of the Portfolio for sale to the public. It is
understood that the Adviser may reimburse the Distributor for these
expenses from any source available to it, including management fees paid to
it by the Portfolio.
3. The Adviser directly, or through the Distributor, may, subject to the
approval of the Trustees, make payments to securities dealers and other
third parties who engage in the sale of shares or who render shareholder
support services, including but not limited to providing office space,
equipment and telephone facilities, answering routine inquiries regarding
the Portfolio, processing shareholder transactions and providing such other
shareholder services as the Fund may reasonably request.
4. The Portfolio will not make separate payments as a result of this Plan
to the Adviser, Distributor or any other party, it being recognized that
the Portfolio presently pays, and will continue to pay, a management fee to
the Adviser. To the extent that any payments made by the Portfolio to the
Adviser, including payment of management fees, should be deemed to be
indirect financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale
of shares of the Portfolio within the context of Rule 12b-1 under the Act,
then such payments shall be deemed to be authorized by this Plan.
5. This Plan shall become effective upon the first business day of the
month following approval by a vote of at least a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio" (as defined in the Act),
the plan having been approved by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of
the Fund, including a majority of Trustees who are not "interested persons"
of the Fund (as defined in the Act) and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of this Plan or in any agreements
related to this Plan (the "Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan.
6. This Plan shall, unless terminated as hereinafter provided, remain in
effect from the date specified above until May 31, 1995 and from year to
year thereafter, provided, however, that such continuance is subject to
approval annually by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund,
including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan. This Plan may be
amended at any time by the Board of Trustees, provided that (a) any
amendment to authorize direct payments by the Portfolio to finance any
activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the
Portfolio, to increase materially the amount spent by the Portfolio for
distribution, or any amendment of the Management Contract to increase the
amount to be paid by the Portfolio thereunder shall be effective only upon
approval by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio, and (b) any material amendments of this Plan shall be
effective only upon approval in the manner provided in the first sentence
in this paragraph.
7. This Plan may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any
penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by a vote of
a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.
8. During the existence of this Plan, the Fund shall require the Adviser
and/or Distributor to provide the Fund, for review by the Fund's Board of
Trustees, and the Trustees shall review, at least quarterly, a written
report of the amounts expended in connection with financing any activity
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Portfolio (making
estimates of such costs where necessary or desirable) and the purposes for
which such expenditures were made.
9. This Plan does not require the Adviser or Distributor to perform any
specific type or level of distribution activities or to incur any specific
level of expenses for activities primarily intended to result in the sale
of shares of the Portfolio.
10. Consistent with the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth
in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document, any
obligations assumed by the Portfolio pursuant to this Plan and any
agreements related to this Plan shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and shall not constitute obligations of any other
series of shares of the Fund.
11. If any provision of this Plan shall be held or made invalid by a court
decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of the Plan shall not
be affected thereby.
Exhibit 16
SCHEDULE FOR COMPUTATION OF PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS and their income and capital components are
described in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, and are based
on the net asset values, dividends, capital gain distributions and
reinvestment prices of the historical period covered.
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS are calculated according to the following formula:
Average Annual Return = [(1 + Cumulative Return)1/n] - 1
[where n = the number of years in the base period]
The 7-DAY YIELD AND EFFECTIVE YIELD are calculated according to the methods
prescribed in Form N-1A Item 22(a)(i) and (ii).
The 7-DAY YIELD is calculated according to the following formula:
7-Day Yield = (Base Period Return) x (365/7)
The EFFECTIVE YIELD is calculated according to the following formula:
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1)365/7] - 1
The TAX EQUIVALENT YIELD is calculated by formula as follows:
Tax Equivalent Yield =(yield)/(1-[tax rate])
[where the tax rate is expressed in decimal notation (i.e. 28% = 0.28)]
For any municipal portfolio that invests a portion of its assets in
obligations subject to state taxes, the tax equivalent yield is adjusted to
reflect these investments.
