Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Focused High Income Fund seeks a high level of income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

Normally investing primarily in income producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities.
Normally investing primarily in securities rated BB by Standard & Poor's ^® (S&P ^® ), Ba by Moody's ^® Investors Service (Moody's), comparably rated by at least one nationally recognized credit rating agency, or, if unrated, considered by FMR to be of comparable quality.
Potentially investing in securities that have a higher or lower credit quality.
Potentially investing in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks.
Investing in companies in troubled or uncertain financial condition.
Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can be difficult to resell.

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

Fund Summary - continued

When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.

Performance

Performance history will be available for the fund after the fund has been in operation for one calendar year.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund. The annual fund operating expenses provided below for the fund are based on estimated expenses.

Shareholder fees (paid by the investor directly)

Sales charge (load) on purchases and reinvested distributions	None
Deferred sales charge (load) on redemptions	None
Redemption fee on shares held less than 90 days (as a % of amount redeemed) ^A	1.00%

^A A redemption fee may be charged when you sell your shares or if your shares are redeemed because your fund balance falls below the balance minimum for any reason, including solely due to declines in net asset value per share.

Annual operating expenses (paid from fund assets)

Management fee	0.58%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	None
Other expenses ^A	0.34%
Total annual fund operating expenses ^B	0.92%

^A Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

^B Effective September __, 2004, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent that total operating expenses ( excluding interest, taxes , certain securities lending costs , brokerage commissions , and extraordinary expenses ), as a percentage of its average net assets , exceed 0.85% . This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time .

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

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

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Focused High Income Fund seeks a high level of income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. Many lower-quality debt securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions limiting FMR's ability to resell the securities to the general public. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks. FMR currently intends to limit common stocks to 10% of the fund's total assets. FMR may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings.

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in securities rated BB by S&P, Ba by Moody's, comparably rated by at least one nationally recognized credit rating agency, or, if unrated, considered by FMR to be of comparable quality. FMR may also invest in securities that have lower or higher credit quality ratings.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value, and the earnings potential, credit standing, and management of the security's issuer.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

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

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, loans and loan participations, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Principal Investment Risks

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

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

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

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

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Prospectus

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

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

Fundamental Investment Policies

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

Focused High Income Fund seeks a high level of income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

Valuing Shares

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

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

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

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

General Information

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality financial services to individuals and institutions.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares of the fund through a retirement account (such as an IRA or an account funded through salary deduction) or an investment professional. Retirement specialists are available at 1-800-544-4774 to answer your questions about Fidelity retirement products. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies, and fees may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of the fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

There is no minimum balance or initial or subsequent purchase minimum for investments through Portfolio Advisory Services ^SM , a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, certain Fidelity retirement accounts funded through salary deduction, or fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of the fund is the fund's NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

The fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.

For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Prospectus

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

If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV, minus the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), if applicable.

The fund will deduct a 1.00% short-term trading fee from the redemption amount if you sell your shares or your shares are redeemed for failure to maintain the balance minimum after holding them less than 90 days. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The short-term trading fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions. If you sell shares through a retirement account you may or may not pay a short-term trading fee.

Trading fees are paid to the fund rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

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

If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above $2,000 to keep your fund position open ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA and Keogh accounts), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
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.
Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

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 policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

The fund may 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 will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.

Prospectus

The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may 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.
Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The fund may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Features and Policies

Features

The following features may be available to buy and sell shares of the fund or to move money to and from your account, depending on whether you are investing through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your fund balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing fund balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household holds shares of the fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 770001, Cincinnati, Ohio 45277-0002.

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

Prospectus

You may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA and Keogh accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

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

The fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The fund normally pays capital gain distributions in June and December.

Earning Dividends

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

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

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

Distribution Options

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

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

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends ^® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

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

Tax Consequences

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

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains. Because the fund's income is primarily derived from interest, dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rates available to individuals.

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

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

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

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

FMRC is an affiliate of FMR. As of March 30, 2004, FMRC had approximately $601.2 billion in discretionary assets under management.

Matthew Conti is manager of Focused High Income Fund, which he has managed since its inception. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1995, Mr. Conti has worked as an analyst and manager.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For May 2004, the group fee rate was 0.13%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.45%.

FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FIIA or FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

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

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes the fund's shares.

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

Prospectus

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

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

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

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 (1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are the fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

Diversification

The fund may not with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Senior Securities

The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Borrowing

The fund may not 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.

Underwriting

The fund may not 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 or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

Concentration

The fund may not 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.

For purposes of the fund's concentration limitation discussed above, with respect to the fund's investments in Fidelity ^® Ultra-Short Central Fund, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) treats the issuers of the underlying securities owned by Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund as the issuer of Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund.

Real Estate

The fund may not 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).

Commodities

The fund may not 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).

Loans

The fund may not 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 to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Short Sales

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.

Margin Purchases

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.

Borrowing

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 the fundamental borrowing investment limitation).

Illiquid Securities

The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 15% 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.

For purposes of the fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 15% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Loans

The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities, to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.)

In addition to the fund's fundamental and non-fundamental limitations discussed above:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Central Funds are money market or short-term bond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money market central funds comply with industry-standard regulatory requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

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

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

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in OTC markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Fund's Rights as an Investor. The fund does not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred. The fund's proxy voting guidelines are included in this SAI.

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

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

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

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

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices , such as the Standard & Poor's 500 ^SM Index (S&P 500 ^® ). 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 trust, on behalf of the fund, intends to file with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to the fund's operation, before engaging in any purchases or sales of commodity futures contracts or commodity options contracts. Accordingly, the fund will not be subject to registration or regulation as a CPO.

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

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

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

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Swap agreements also may allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer. The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. If a swap counterparty's creditworthiness declines, the risk that they may not perform may increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

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

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

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

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

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

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by Moody's ^® Investors Service, Standard & Poor's ^® (S&P ^® ), Fitch Inc., Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, or another credit rating agency designated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) by the SEC, or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

The fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see the fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

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

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

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

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to 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.

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

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

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

To earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.

Preferred Securities represent an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred securities and common stock.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

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

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

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

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value per share (NAV). Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Short Sales. Stocks underlying a fund's convertible security holdings can be sold short. For example, if FMR anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a convertible security held by a fund, it may sell the stock short. If the stock price subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to offset all or a portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value of the convertible security. The fund currently intends to hedge no more than 15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities underlying its convertible security holdings under normal circumstances.

A fund will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold them aside while the short sale is outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales.

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

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

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

Temporary Defensive Policies. The fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in investment-grade securities for temporary, defensive purposes.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

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

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

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

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; 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 firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any compensation paid; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contract"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Compensation may also be paid in connection with riskless principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

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

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive compensation for their services.

The fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the fund. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor the fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of compensation or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for the fund may receive compensation that is in excess of the amount of compensation that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing the fund to pay such higher compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), provided it determines that these affiliates' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR may also place trades with Archipelago ECN (Archipelago), an ECN in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the compensation is fair, reasonable, and comparable to compensation charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses.

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

The fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions.

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

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the fund of some portion of the compensation paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. 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 participate, or continue to participate, in the commission recapture program.

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

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

VALUATION

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

Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used.

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

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

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

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

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

The fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing the fund's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

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

Capital Gain Distributions. The fund's long-term capital gain distributions are federally taxable to shareholders generally as capital gains.

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

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

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

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

Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to non-interested Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 10 standing committees.

The Operations Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the non-interested Trustees. The committee also considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding transfer agent and other service agreements, insurance coverage, and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically in the scope of the charters of the Audit Committee or Fund Oversight Committees and considers other operating matters not specifically within the scope of oversight of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the committee held 12 meetings.

The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann serving as Chair. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees. The Fair Value Oversight Committee monitors and establishes policies concerning procedures and controls regarding the valuation of fund investments and their classification as liquid or illiquid and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The committee provides oversight regarding the investment policies relating to, and Fidelity funds' investment in, non-traditional securities. The committee also reviews actions taken by FMR's Fair Value Committee. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the committee held four meetings.

The Board of Trustees has established three Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (Chair), Kirk, and Stavropoulos), the Fixed-Income and International Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (Chair) and Cox and Ms. Knowles), and the Select and Special Committee (composed of Messrs. McCoy (Chair), Gates, and Heilmeier). Each committee normally meets monthly (except August) or more frequently as called by the Chair of the respective committee. Each committee oversees investment advisory services provided by FMR to the relevant funds and develops an understanding of and monitors the investment objectives, policies, and practices of the relevant Fidelity funds. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters and the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund. The Fixed-Income and International Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and has oversight of research bearing on credit quality, investment structures and other fixed-income issues, and of international research. The Select and Special Committee has oversight of FMR's equity investment research. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The non-interested Trustees of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee's review. These working groups report to the committee or to the non-interested Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group's deliberations. Prior to December 2003, the Fixed-Income and International Committee was known as the Fixed-Income/International Committee, and the Select and Special Committee was known as the Select Committee. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the Equity Committee held 10 meetings, the Fixed-Income and International Committee held 11 meetings, and the Select and Special Committee held 10 meetings.

The Board of Trustees established in December 2003 two Fund Contract Committees: the Equity Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (Chair), Cook, and McCoy) and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (Chair) and Cox, and Ms. Knowles). Each committee ordinarily meets monthly during the first six months of each year and more frequently as necessary to consider matters related to the renewal of fund investment advisory agreements. The committees will assist the Board of Trustees in its consideration of investment advisory agreements of each fund. Each committee receives information on and makes recommendations concerning the approval of investment advisory agreements between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates and any non-FMR affiliate that serves as a sub-adviser to a Fidelity fund (collectively, investment advisers) and the annual review of these contracts. The Fixed-Income Contract Committee will be responsible for investment advisory agreements of the fixed-income funds. The Equity Contract Committee will be responsible for the investment advisory agreements of all other funds. With respect to each fund under its purview, each committee: requests and receives information on the nature, levels, and quality of services provided to the shareholders of the Fidelity funds by the investment advisers and their respective affiliates, fund performance, and such other information as the committee determines to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements; considers the profitability and other benefits that the investment advisers and their respective affiliates derive from their contractual arrangements with each of the funds (including tangible and intangible "fall-out benefits"); considers methodologies for determining the extent to which the funds benefit from economies of scale and refinements to these methodologies; considers such other matters and information as may be necessary and appropriate to evaluate investment advisory agreements of the funds; and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements. Each committee will consult with the other committees of the Board of Trustees, and in particular with the Audit Committee and the applicable Fund Oversight Committees, in carrying out its responsibilities. Each committee's responsibilities are guided by Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. While each committee consists solely of non-interested Trustees, its meetings may, depending upon the subject matter, be attended by one or more senior members of FMR's management or representatives of a sub-adviser not affiliated with FMR. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, each Fund Contract Committee held no meetings.

The Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee is composed of Messrs. Cox (Chair), Cook, Heilmeier, Lautenbach, and Stavropoulos. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees, custody fees, and direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as small account and exchange fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services and fees. Regarding brokerage, the committee monitors and recommends policies concerning the securities transactions of the Fidelity funds. The committee periodically reviews the policies and practices with respect to efforts to achieve best execution and commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, the committee considers issues bearing on the various distribution channels employed by the Fidelity funds, including issues regarding Rule 18f-3 plans and related consideration of classes of shares, sales load structures (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees. The committee also oversees and receives reports on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the Fidelity funds. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee held nine meetings.

The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair), and Messrs. Gates, Kirk, and McCoy. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least four times a year with the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR Corp., and with the Fidelity funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the Fidelity funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the Fidelity funds and the funds' service providers, (ii) the financial reporting processes of the Fidelity funds, (iii) the independence, objectivity and qualification of the auditors to the Fidelity funds, (iv) the annual audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements, and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the Fidelity funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any Fidelity fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to Fidelity fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the Fidelity funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fidelity funds, resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting, and has sole authority to hire and fire any auditor. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fidelity funds and any service providers consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the Fidelity funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fidelity funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fidelity funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the Fidelity funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR Corp. their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the Fidelity funds, and will review with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditor, and internal auditor personnel of FMR Corp. (to the extent relevant) the results of audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the Fidelity funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. The committee also plays an oversight role in respect of each Fidelity fund's compliance with its name test and investment restrictions, the code of ethics relating to personal securities transactions, the code of ethics applicable to certain senior officers of the Fidelity funds, and anti-money laundering requirements. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the committee held 12 meetings.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (Chair), Cox, and Gates, each of whom is not an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act). The committee has two charters: one addressing fund governance and Board administrative matters and one addressing the nomination for the appointment or election of non-interested Trustees. The committee meets as called by the Chair. The committee also recommends the establishment of committees (including ad hoc and standing committees). The committee is also responsible for other fund governance and board administration matters. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures and policies of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the non-interested Trustees. On behalf of the non-interested Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the non-interested Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to non-interested Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with non-interested Trustees at least once a year to discuss the Statement of Policies and other matters relating to fund governance. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the non-interested Trustees. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of non-interested Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee will have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify non-interested Trustee candidates, including sole authority to approve such firm's fees and other retention terms. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as a non-interested Trustee of the Fidelity funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with non-interested Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting non-interested Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an "interested person" of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend 11 meetings per year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective non-interested Trustee in light of the Fidelity funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as a non-interested Trustee. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, the committee held 11 meetings.

+ Estimated for the fund's first full year.

^A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 2003 for 293 funds of 57 trusts in the fund complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $111,000; Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; Marie L. Knowles, $111,000; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and William S. Stavropoulos, $111,000. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $35,316.47; Ralph F. Cox, $35,316.47; Phyllis Burke Davis, $44,989.93; Ned C. Lautenbach, $44,989.93; and William O. McCoy, $82,489.93.

^B Compensation figures include cash and may include amounts deferred at Mr. McCoy's election under a deferred compensation plan adopted by the other open-end registered investment companies in the fund complex (Other Open-End Funds). Pursuant to the deferred compensation plan, Mr. McCoy, as a non-interested Trustee, may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his annual fees. Amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan are credited to an account established for Mr. McCoy on the books of the Other Open-End Funds. Interest is accrued on amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, Mr. McCoy voluntarily elected to defer $37,500.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

As of the public offering of shares of the fund, 100% of the fund's total outstanding shares was held by FMR or an FMR affiliate. FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and these FMR affiliates. By virtue of their ownership interest in FMR Corp., as described in the "Control of Investment Advisers" section on page 24, Mr. Edward C. Johnson 3d, Trustee, and Ms. Abigail P. Johnson, Trustee and Senior Vice President of the fund, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of these shares.

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). 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 primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA), Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ), and Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. 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. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the fund have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the fund, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the fund.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

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

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

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

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

Management Fee. For the services of FMR under the management contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $847 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for May 2004 - was 0.1261%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $847 billion.

The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.45%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for May 2004, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

Fund	Group Fee Rate		Individual Fund Fee Rate		Management Fee Rate
Focused High Income	0.1261%	+	0.45%	=	0.5761%

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

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

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

Sub-Adviser - FMRC. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMRC pursuant to which FMRC has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

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

Sub-Advisers - FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L, and FIJ. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into a master international research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of the fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into sub-research agreements with FIIA(U.K.)L and FIJ. Pursuant to the research agreements, FMR may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States.

Under the terms of the master international research agreement, FMR pays FIIA an amount based on the fund's international net assets relative to the international assets of other registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts. Under the terms of the sub-research agreements, FIIA pays FIIA(U.K.)L and FIJ an amount equal to the administrative costs incurred in providing investment advice and research services for a fund.

Sub-Advisers - FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIJ. On behalf of the fund, FMR has entered into sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. On behalf of the fund, FMR Far East has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FIJ. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive from the sub-advisers investment research and advice on issuers outside the United States (non-discretionary services) and FMR may grant the sub-advisers investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the fund (discretionary services).

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, for providing non-discretionary investment advice and research services the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services.
FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 100% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advice and research services for a fund to FMR Far East.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, for providing discretionary investment management and executing portfolio transactions, the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:

FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its monthly management fee with respect to the fund's average net assets managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.
FMR Far East pays FIJ a fee equal to 105% of FIJ's costs incurred in connection with providing investment advisory and order execution services for a fund to FMR Far East.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on the fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contract and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of Fidelity funds, peer groups of funds and appropriate indices or combinations of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of Fidelity funds, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which the fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of the fund's assets, (4) the allocation of the fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage services, and the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses , (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with the fund's custodian and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with the fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (d) the composition of peer groups of funds, (e) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (f) investment management staffing, (g) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (h) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (i) the information furnished to investors, including the fund's shareholders.

In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:

Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's bond group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by the fund and the fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the fund.

Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be approved.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the non-interested Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)

I. General Principles

A. Except as set forth herein, portfolio securities should generally be voted in favor of incumbent directors and in favor of routine management proposals. In general, FMR will oppose shareholder proposals that do not appear reasonably likely to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value.

B. Non-routine proposals covered by the following guidelines should generally be voted in accordance with the guidelines.

C. Non-routine proposals not covered by the following guidelines or other special circumstances should be evaluated by the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, subject to review by the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp. A significant pattern of such non-routine proposals or other special circumstances should be referred to the Operations Committee or its designee.

II. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against anti-takeover proposals, including:

A. Fair Price Amendments, except those that consider only a two year price history and are not accompanied by other anti-takeover measures.

B. Classified Boards. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to declassify a board of directors. FMR will consider voting against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statute includes a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.

C. Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock.

D. Golden Parachutes:

1. Accelerated options and/or employment contracts that will result in a lump sum payment of more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of termination.

2. Compensation contracts for outside directors.

3. Tin Parachutes that cover a group beyond officers and directors and permit employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive payment.

4. Adoption of a Golden or Tin Parachute will result in our withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

E. Supermajority Provisions.

F. Poison Pills:

1. Introduction of a Poison Pill without shareholder approval will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors. In addition, extension of an existing Poison Pill or the adoption of a new Poison Pill without shareholder approval upon the expiration of an existing Pill will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

2. FMR will consider not withholding its authority on the election of directors if (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is less than 5 years; and (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate the expired Pill. In addition, the Funds will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if company management indicates that the board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding a sunset provision meeting the above conditions to, an existing Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, the Funds would withhold their vote from the election of directors at that next meeting.

3. FMR will generally withhold authority on the election of directors if a company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend a Poison Pill Plan to allow the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine not to withhold authority on the election of directors if a company's Poison Pill Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

4. Portfolio shares will be voted for shareholder proposals requiring or recommending that shareholders be given an opportunity to vote on the adoption of poison pills.

5. If shareholders are requested to approve adoption of a Poison Pill plan, the Funds will, in general, consider voting in favor of the Poison Pill plan if: (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is determined to be linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is generally not longer than 5 years; (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate an expired Pill; (e) the Pill contains a provision suspending its application, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer, made for all outstanding shares; and (f) the Pill allows the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine to vote in favor of a company's Poison Pill Plan if the Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

G. Elimination of, or limitation on, shareholder rights (e.g., action by written consent, ability to call meetings, or remove directors).

H. Transfer of authority from shareholders to directors.

I. Reincorporation in another state (when accompanied by anti-takeover provisions).

III. Stock Option Plans

A. Stock Option plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against Stock Option Plan adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

1. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

2. The offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus.

3. The Board may, without shareholder approval, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, (ii) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the plan.

4. The granting of options to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, the plan is administered by a compensation committee not comprised entirely of non-employee directors or the plan is administered by a board of directors not comprised of a majority of non-employee directors, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

5. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines 2, 3 and 4 immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

a. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

b. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

6. The plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options, or the Board/Committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past 2 years. However, option repricing may be acceptable if all of the following conditions, as specified by the plan's express terms, or board resolution, are met:

a. The repricing is authorized by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors to fulfill a legitimate corporate purpose such as retention of a key employee;

b. The repricing is rarely used and then only to maintain option value due to extreme circumstances beyond management's control; and

c. The repricing is limited to no more than 5% (large capitalization company) or 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares currently authorized for grant under the plan.

7. Furthermore, if a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors determines that options need to be granted to employees other than the company's executive officers, that no shares are currently available for such options under the company's existing plans, and that such options need to be granted before the company's next shareholder meeting, then the company may reprice options in an amount not to exceed an additional 5% or 10%, as applicable, if such company seeks authorization of at least that amount at the very next shareholders' meeting.

8. For purposes of this Guideline III, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000 ^® ; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.

B. FMR will generally withhold its authority on the election of directors if, within the last year and without shareholder approval, the company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options held by officers or directors which, together with all other options repriced under the same stock option plan (whether held by officers, directors or other employees) exceed 5% (for a large capitalization company) or 10% (for a small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

C. Proposals to reprice outstanding stock options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to reprice outstanding options based upon whether the proposed repricing is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the repricing proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the options proposed to be repriced exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;

3. Whether the repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable options pricing model;

4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes and;

6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

IV. Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against RSA adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

A. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

B. The Board may materially alter the RSA without shareholder approval, including a provision that allows the Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.

C. The granting of RSAs to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

D. The restriction period is less than 3 years. RSAs with a restriction period of less than 3 years but at least 1 year are acceptable if the RSA is performance based.

E. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines B, C and D immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

1. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

2. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

F. For purposes of this Guideline IV, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.

G. Proposals to grant restricted stock in exchange for options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to grant restricted stock awards in exchange for options based upon whether the proposed exchange is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the options proposed to be exchanged exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;

3. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable stock award pricing model;

4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and

6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a restricted stock award exchange proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

V. Other Stock-Related Plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis:

A. Omnibus Stock Plans - vote against entire plan if one or more component violates any of the criteria in parts III or IV above, except if the component is de minimus. In the case of an omnibus stock plan, the 5% and 10% limits in Guidelines III and IV will be measured against the total number of shares under all components of such plan.

B. Employee Stock Purchase Plans - vote against if the plan violates any of the criteria in parts III and IV above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to the prevailing "best practices," as articulated by the research or recommendations of the relevant proxy research or corporate governance services, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.

C. Stock Awards (other than stock options and RSAs) - generally vote against unless they are identified as being granted to officers/directors in lieu of salary or cash bonus, subject to number of shares being reasonable.

VI. Unusual Increases in Common Stock:

A. An increase of up to 3 times outstanding and scheduled to be issued, including stock options, is acceptable; any increase in excess of 3 times would be voted against except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase of 5 times is, in general, acceptable.

B. Measured as follows: requested increased authorization plus stock authorized to be issued under Poison Pill divided by current stock outstanding plus any stock scheduled to be issued (not including Poison Pill authority). (If the result is greater than 3, Portfolio shares should be voted against.)

VII. Portfolio shares should, in general, be voted against the introduction of new classes of Stock with Differential Voting Rights.

VIII. With regard to Cumulative Voting Rights, Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of introduction or against elimination on a case-by-case basis where this is determined to enhance Portfolio interests as minority shareholders.

IX. Greenmail - Portfolio shares should be voted for anti-greenmail proposals so long as they are not part of anti-takeover provisions.

X. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of charter by-law amendments expanding the Indemnification of Directors and/or limiting their liability for Breaches of Care.

A. Portfolio shares should be voted against such proposals if FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by anti-takeover measures.

XI. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposals to adopt Confidential Voting and Independent Vote Tabulation practices.

XII. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to Opt Out of the Control Shares Acquisition Statutes.

XIII. Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should usually be voted for non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. Portfolio shares should be voted against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.

XIV. Voting of shares in securities of any U.S. banking organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the Federal Reserve Board for a determination under federal banking law that no Fund or group of Funds has acquired control of such banking organization.

XV. Avoidance of Potential Conflicts of Interest

Voting of shares shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of mutual fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company shall be voted solely in a manner consistent with the Proxy Voting Guidelines; and (ii) voting shall be done without regard to any other Fidelity Companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.

FMR applies the following policies and follows the procedures set forth below:

A. FMR has placed responsibility for the Funds' proxy voting in the FMR Legal Department.

B. The FMR Legal Department votes proxies according to the Proxy Voting Guidelines that are approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees.

C. The FMR Legal Department consults with the appropriate analysts or portfolio managers regarding the voting decisions of non-routine proposals that are not addressed by the Proxy Voting Guidelines. Each of the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp is authorized to take a final decision.

D. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(E), (F) or (G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to the extent disclosed in the Fund's registration statement, FMR will use pass through voting or echo voting procedures.

XVI. Executive Compensation

FMR will consider withholding authority for the election of directors and voting against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans based on whether the proposals are consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.

XVII. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of an independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider supporting such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of an independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.

XVIII. Auditors

A. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending periodic rotation of a portfolio company's auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the selection of the company's auditor.

B. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the prohibition or limitation of the performance of non-audit services by a portfolio company's auditor. Portfolio shares should also generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending removal of a company's auditor due to, among other reasons, the performance of non-audit work by the auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the oversight of the performance of the auditor of audit or non-audit services for the company.

XIX. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country

Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and voted in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under Unites States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

The fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreement calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the fund, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

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

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

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

The 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.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

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

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

FSC also collects fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (QTP), as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the QTP's, Freedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in the fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

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 existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

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

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

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the fund are 0.0425% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0315% of average net assets between $500 million and $3.5 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3.5 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00180% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee is limited to a minimum of $30,000 per year.

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

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Trust Organization. Fidelity Focused High Income Fund is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated September 5, 1984. Currently, there are five funds offered in the trust: Fidelity High Income Fund, Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund, Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund, and Spartan ^® Government Income Fund . The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the fund.

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

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

The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

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

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

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

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodians. _________, is custodian of the assets of the fund. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. _________, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, Members of the Advisory Board, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

Auditor. _______, serves as independent accountant for the fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

Item 23. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 24. Indemnification

Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past 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 or officer 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 Trust 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 Trust. 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 Trust 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 (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) 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 Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc. ("FSC") is appointed transfer agent, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold FSC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Trust, including by a shareholder, which names FSC and/or the Trust as a party and is not based on and does not result from FSC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FSC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FSC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the Trust, or from FSC's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Trust, or as a result of FSC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FSC to have been given by counsel for the Trust, or as a result of FSC's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FIIOC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant, or from FIIOC's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.

FORM OF

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

between

FIDELITY FIXED-INCOME TRUST:

FIDELITY FOCUSED HIGH INCOME FUND

and

FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY

AGREEMENT made this __ day of _____, 20__, by and between Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Fund"), on behalf of Fidelity Focused High Income Fund (hereinafter called the "Portfolio"), and Fidelity Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation (hereinafter called the "Adviser") as set forth in its entirety below.

1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are "interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio, supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an investment vehicle.

The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees. The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.

(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.

2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.

3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:

(b) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be 0.45%.

WHEREAS the Adviser has entered into a Management Contract with Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the ´´Fund"), on behalf of Fidelity Focused High Income Fund (hereinafter called the ´´Portfolio"), pursuant to which the Adviser is to act as investment manager and adviser to the Portfolio, and

WHEREAS the Sub-Adviser was formed for the purpose of providing investment management of equity and high income funds and advising generally with respect to equity and high income instruments .

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser agree as follows:

The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the Sub-Adviser performing services for the Portfolio relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Sub-Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio or the Adviser, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio.

Such fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the Adviser, if any, in effect from time to time.

3. It is understood that Trustees, officers, and shareholders of the Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.

4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Adviser hereunder or by the Adviser under the Management Contract with the Portfolio.

5. The Services of the Sub-Adviser to the Adviser are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the Sub-Adviser being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the Sub-Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations with respect to rendering investment advice hereunder. The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Adviser or the Fund.

All investment management and any other activities of the Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.

(c) Subsidiaries and Affiliates : The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules thereunder.

2.

(b) Investment Management: The Japan Sub-Advisor is hereby authorized to manage such portion of the Japanese or other Asian investments of a Portfolio as the Sub-Advisor shall request from time to time. Such investment management activities shall be subject to and in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the applicable Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the applicable Trust or the Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the Japan Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of a Portfolio under its management, the Japan Sub-Advisor is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of such securities through such broker/dealers as the Japan Sub-Adviser may select in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof. All investment management and any other activities of the Japan Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor and the Trusts' respective Boards of Trustees.

(c) Subsidiaries and Affiliates : The Japan Sub-Advisor may perform any or all of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Japan Sub-Advisor shall determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by each applicable Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules thereunder.

The Japan Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolios and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolios and/or other accounts over which the Japan Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor of the Advisor exercise investment discretion. The Japan Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Japan Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Japan Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Advisor have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of each Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by each of their respective Portfolios to determine if the commissions paid over the representative periods of time are reasonable in relation to the benefits to such Portfolio.

4. Compensation : For the services provided under subparagraph 1(a) of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor agrees to pay the Japan Sub-Advisor a monthly fee equal to 100% of the Japan Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services provided hereunder. For services provided under subparagraph 1(b) of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor agrees to pay the Japan Sub-Advisor a monthly fee equal to 105% of the Japan Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services thereunder. The Japan Sub-Advisor's fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the Sub-Advisor or the Advisor, if any, in effect in respect of any Portfolio from time to time.

5. Expenses : It is understood that the Portfolios will pay all of their expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Japan Sub-Advisor hereunder, by the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement or by the Advisor under the applicable Management Contract.

6. Interested Persons : It is understood (i) that Trustees, officers, and shareholders of each Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Japan Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise, (ii) that directors, officers and stockholders of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Japan Sub-Advisor are or may be or become similarly interested in a Trust, and (iii) that the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Japan Sub-Advisor are or may be or become interested in a Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts : The services of the Japan Sub-Advisor to the Sub-Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the Japan Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere in a material manner, with the Japan Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder. The Japan Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor or the Trust.

8. Standard of Care : In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Japan Sub-Advisor, the Japan Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to liability to the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of any Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

9. Liability: Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood that the Sub-Advisor shall remain liable to the Advisor and each Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the acts and omissions of Japan Sub-Advisor taken in the course of the performance of the Japan Sub-Advisor's duties hereunder to the same extent as would be the case had the Sub-Advisor performed such acts or omissions itself, provided, however, that to the extent the Sub-Advisor suffers a loss to the Advisor or a Portfolio as a result of or arising out of such acts or omissions of the Japan Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to seek redress against the Japan Sub-Advisor in accordance with the terms hereof.

10. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments :

11. Limitation of Liability : The Japan Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of each Trust and agrees that any obligations of a Trust in respect of a Portfolio arising in connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the applicable Portfolio and its assets; and the Japan Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from any other Portfolio, the shareholders or any shareholder of any Portfolio, or the Trustees or any individual Trustee of any Trust.

12. Governing Law : This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

FORM OF

GENERAL DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

between

FIDELITY FIXED-INCOME TRUST

and

FIDELITY DISTRIBUTORS CORPORATION

Agreement made this ___ day of , 200 , between Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, a Massachusetts business trust having its principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts and which may issue one or more series of beneficial interest ("Issuer"), with respect to shares of Fidelity Focused High Income Fund, a series of the Issuer, and Fidelity Distributors Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation having its principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts ("Distributors").

In consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. Sale of Shares - The Issuer grants to Distributors the right to sell shares on behalf of the Issuer during the term of this Agreement and subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), and of the laws governing the sale of securities in the various states ("Blue Sky Laws") under the following terms and conditions: Distributors (i) shall have the right to sell, as agent on behalf of the Issuer, shares authorized for issue and registered under the 1933 Act, and (ii) may sell shares under offers of exchange, if available, between and among the funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") or any of its affiliates.

2. Sale of Shares by the Issuer - The rights granted to Distributors shall be nonexclusive in that the Issuer reserves the right to sell its shares to investors on applications received and accepted by the Issuer. Further, the Issuer reserves the right to issue shares in connection with the merger or consolidation, or acquisition by the Issuer through purchase or otherwise, with any other investment company, trust, or personal holding company.

3. Shares Covered by this Agreement - This Agreement shall apply to unissued shares of the Issuer, shares of the Issuer held in its treasury in the event that in the discretion of the Issuer treasury shares shall be sold, and shares of the Issuer repurchased for resale.

4. Public Offering Price - Except as otherwise noted in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, all shares sold to investors by Distributors or the Issuer will be sold at the public offering price. The public offering price for all accepted subscriptions will be the net asset value per share, as determined in the manner described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, plus a sales charge (if any) described in the Issuer's current Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information. The Issuer shall in all cases receive the net asset value per share on all sales. If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right subject to such rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as may then be in effect pursuant to Section 22 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to pay a portion of the sales charge to dealers who have sold shares of the Issuer. If a fee in connection with shareholder redemptions is in effect, the Issuer shall collect the fee on behalf of Distributors and, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Issuer and Distributors, Distributors shall be entitled to receive all of such fees.

5. Suspension of Sales - If and whenever the determination of net asset value is suspended and until such suspension is terminated, no further orders for shares shall be processed by Distributors except such unconditional orders as may have been placed with Distributors before it had knowledge of the suspension. In addition, the Issuer reserves the right to suspend sales and Distributors' authority to process orders for shares on behalf of the Issuer if, in the judgment of the Issuer, it is in the best interests of the Issuer to do so. Suspension will continue for such period as may be determined by the Issuer.

6. Solicitation of Sales - In consideration of these rights granted to Distributors, Distributors agrees to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the Issuer. This shall not prevent Distributors from entering into like arrangements (including arrangements involving the payment of underwriting commissions) with other issuers. This does not obligate Distributors to register as a broker or dealer under the Blue Sky Laws of any jurisdiction in which it is not now registered or to maintain its registration in any jurisdiction in which it is now registered. If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right to enter into sales agreements with dealers of its choice for the sale of shares of the Issuer to the public at the public offering price only and fix in such agreements the portion of the sales charge which may be retained by dealers, provided that the Issuer shall approve the form of the dealer agreement and the dealer discounts set forth therein and shall evidence such approval by filing said form of dealer agreement and amendments thereto as an exhibit to its currently effective Registration Statement under the 1933 Act.

7. Authorized Representations - Distributors is not authorized by the Issuer to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in the appropriate registration statements or Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act (as these registration statements, Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information may be amended from time to time), or contained in shareholder reports or other material that may be prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer for Distributors' use. This shall not be construed to prevent Distributors from preparing and distributing sales literature or other material as it may deem appropriate.

8. Portfolio Securities - Portfolio securities of the Issuer may be bought or sold by or through Distributors, and Distributors may participate directly or indirectly in brokerage commissions or "spreads" for transactions in portfolio securities of the Issuer.

9. Registration of Shares - The Issuer agrees that it will take all action necessary to register shares under the 1933 Act (subject to the necessary approval of its shareholders) so that there will be available for sale the number of shares Distributors may reasonably be expected to sell. The Issuer shall make available to Distributors such number of copies of its currently effective Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as Distributors may reasonably request. The Issuer shall furnish to Distributors copies of all information, financial statements and other papers which Distributors may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of shares of the Issuer.

10. Expenses - The Issuer shall pay all fees and expenses (a) in connection with the preparation, setting in type and filing of any registration statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information under the 1933 Act and amendments for the issue of its shares, (b) in connection with the registration and qualification of shares for sale in the various states in which the Board of Trustees of the Issuer shall determine it advisable to qualify such shares for sale (including registering the Issuer as a broker or dealer or any officer of the Issuer as agent or salesman in any state), (c) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing any report or other communication to shareholders of the Issuer in their capacity as such, and (d) of preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and any supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders.

As provided in the Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Issuer, it is recognized by the Issuer that FMR may make payment to Distributors with respect to any expenses incurred in the distribution of shares of the Issuer, such payments payable from the past profits or other resources of FMR including management fees paid to it by the Issuer.

11. Indemnification - The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Distributors and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls Distributors within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) 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 Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Issuer does not agree to indemnify Distributors or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of Distributors. In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Issuer in favor of Distributors or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect Distributors or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which Distributors or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Issuer to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against Distributors or any person indemnified unless Distributors or person, as the case may be, shall have notified the Issuer in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon Distributors or any such person (or after Distributors or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Issuer of any claim shall not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have to Distributors or any person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. The Issuer shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims, but if the Issuer elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to Distributors or person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event the Issuer elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, Distributors, officers or directors or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Issuer does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse Distributors, officers or directors or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Issuer agrees to notify Distributors promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the issuance or sale of any of the shares.

Distributors also covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and each of its Board members and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, damages, claim or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, damages, claim or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the 1933 Act or any other statute or common law, alleging any wrongful act of Distributors or any of its employees or alleging that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Issuer (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading, insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of Distributors. In no case (i) is the indemnity of Distributors in favor of the Issuer or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Issuer or any person against any liability to which the Issuer or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is Distributors to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against the Issuer or any person indemnified unless the Issuer or person, as the case may be, shall have notified Distributors in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Issuer or any such person (or after the Issuer or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify Distributors of any claim shall not relieve Distributors from any liability which it may have to the Issuer or any person against whom the action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. In the case of any notice to Distributors, it shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim, but if Distributors elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Issuer, to its officers and Board and to any controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit. In the event that Distributors elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Issuer or controlling persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expense of any additional counsel retained by them. If Distributors does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Issuer, officers and Board or controlling person or persons, defendant or defendants in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. Distributors agrees to notify the Issuer promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the issue and sale of any of the shares.

12. Effective Date - This agreement shall be effective upon its execution, and unless terminated as provided, shall continue in force until April 30, 200 and thereafter from year to year, provided continuance is approved annually by the vote of a majority of the Board members of the Issuer, and by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and, if a plan under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is in effect, by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and who are not parties to the Distribution and Service Plan or this Agreement and have no financial interest in the operation of the Distribution and Service Plan or in any agreements related to the Distribution and Service Plan, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. As used in this paragraph, the terms "assignment" and "interested persons" shall have the respective meanings specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as now in effect or as hereafter amended. In addition to termination by failure to approve continuance or by assignment, this Agreement may at any time be terminated by either party upon not less than sixty days' prior written notice to the other party.

13. Notice - Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving notice to the other party at the last address furnished by the other party to the party giving notice: if to the Issuer, at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts, and if to Distributors, at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

14. Limitation of Liability - Distributors is expressly put on notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Issuer and agrees that the obligations assumed by the Issuer under this contract shall be limited in all cases to the Issuer and its assets. Distributors shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Issuer. Nor shall Distributors seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee of the Issuer. Distributors understands that the rights and obligations of each series of shares of the Issuer under the Issuer's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all other series.

15. This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has executed this instrument in its name and behalf, and its seal affixed, by one of its officers duly authorized, and Distributors has executed this instrument in its name and behalf by one of its officers duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN

Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust:

Fidelity Focused High Income Fund

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 Fidelity Focused High Income Fund (the "Portfolio"), a series of shares of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (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 recognized that the Adviser may use its management fee revenues as well as past profits or its resources from any other source, to make payment to the Distributor with respect to any expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of Portfolio shares, including the activities referred to above.

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 approval 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 April 30, 200_ 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, or to increase materially the amount spent by the Portfolio for distribution, 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.
