PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS

October 22, 2001

This Proxy Statement and Prospectus (Proxy Statement) is being furnished to shareholders of Fidelity International Bond Fund (International Bond), a fund of Fidelity School Street Trust (the trust), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the trust's Board of Trustees for use at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of International Bond and at any adjournments thereof (the Meeting). The Meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 19, 2001, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time at 27 State Street, 10th floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a principal executive office of the trust.

As more fully described in the Proxy Statement, the purpose of the Meeting is to vote on a proposed reorganization (Reorganization). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement), International Bond would transfer all of its assets to Fidelity Strategic Income Fund (Strategic Income), another fund of the trust, in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Strategic Income and the assumption by Strategic Income of International Bond's liabilities. The number of shares to be issued in the proposed Reorganization will be based upon the relative net asset values of the funds at the time of the exchange. As provided in the Agreement, International Bond will distribute shares of Strategic Income to its shareholders in liquidation of International Bond on January 17, 2002, or such other date as the parties may agree (the Closing Date).

Strategic Income, a bond fund, is a non-diversified fund of the trust which is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 10, 1976. Strategic Income's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation. Strategic Income seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in debt securities, including lower quality debt securities, allocated among four general investment categories: 1) high yield securities, 2) U.S. Government and investment-grade securities, 3) emerging market securities, and 4) foreign developed market securities. The fund may also invest its assets in equity securities.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This Proxy Statement, which should be retained for future reference, sets forth concisely the information about the Reorganization and Strategic Income that a shareholder should know before voting on the proposed Reorganization. The Statement of Additional Information dated October 22, 2001 relating to this Proxy Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is incorporated herein by reference.

TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 19, 2001

VOTING INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement and Prospectus (Proxy Statement) is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies made by, and on behalf of, the Board of Trustees of Fidelity School Street Trust (the trust) to be used at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of Fidelity International Bond Fund (International Bond) and at any adjournments thereof (the Meeting), to be held on Wednesday, December 19, 2001 at 9:30 a.m. at 27 State Street, 10th floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a principal executive office of the trust and Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), the fund's investment adviser.

The purpose of the Meeting is set forth in the accompanying Notice. The solicitation is made primarily by the mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about October 22, 2001. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph, facsimile, electronic means, or by personal interview by representatives of the trust. In addition, D.F. King & Co., Inc. may be paid on a per-call basis to solicit shareholders on behalf of the fund at an anticipated cost of approximately $500.00. International Bond may also arrange to have votes recorded by telephone. D.F. King & Co., Inc. may also be paid on a per-call basis for vote-by-phone solicitations on behalf of the fund at an anticipated cost of approximately $500.00. If the fund records votes by telephone, it will use procedures designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Proxies given by telephone may be revoked at any time before they are voted in the same manner that proxies voted by mail may be revoked.

The expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and of all solicitations, including telephone voting, will be paid by International Bond. The fund will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares.

If the enclosed proxy card is executed and returned, it may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the trust, by the execution of a later-dated proxy card, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

All proxy cards solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a proxy card, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy card. Only proxies that are voted will be counted toward establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes are not considered voted for this purpose nor do they count toward the approval of proposals. Shareholders should note that while votes to ABSTAIN will count toward establishing a quorum, passage of any proposal being considered at the Meeting will occur only if a sufficient number of votes are cast FOR the proposal. Accordingly, votes to ABSTAIN and votes AGAINST will have the same effect in determining whether the proposal is approved. With respect to fund shares held in Fidelity individual retirement accounts (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP, SAR-SEP, Roth and SIMPLE IRAs), the IRA Custodian will vote those shares for which it has received instructions from shareholders only in accordance with such instructions. If Fidelity IRA shareholders do not vote their shares, the IRA Custodian will vote their shares for them, in the same proportion as other Fidelity IRA shareholders have voted, but only to the extent necessary to reach quorum at the Meeting.

If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve one or more of the proposed items are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote with respect to each item, unless directed to vote AGAINST the item, in which case such shares will be voted against the proposed adjournment with respect to that item. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the items in this Proxy Statement or on any other business properly presented at the Meeting prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

On August 17, 2001 there were 8,664,926.72 and 8,505,865.85 shares issued and outstanding for International Bond and Strategic Income, respectively. International Bond shareholders of record at the close of business on October 22, 2001 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each such shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value held on that date.

As of August 17, 2001, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and Officers of each fund owned, in aggregate less than 1% of each fund's outstanding shares.

As of August 17, 2001, the following owned of record or beneficially 5% or more (up to and including 25%) of International Bond's outstanding shares: General Motors Corporation, New York, NY (7.16%).

VOTE REQUIRED: Approval of the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of International Bond. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. Broker non-votes are not considered "present" for this purpose.

SYNOPSIS

The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, in the Agreement, and in the Prospectuses of International Bond and Strategic Income, which are incorporated herein by this reference. Shareholders should read the entire Proxy Statement and the Prospectus of Strategic Income Fund carefully for more complete information.

The proposed reorganization (the Reorganization) would merge International Bond into Strategic Income, a bond fund also managed by FMR. If the Reorganization is approved, International Bond will cease to exist and current shareholders of the fund will become shareholders of Strategic Income instead.

The proposed Reorganization would provide International Bond shareholders with the opportunity to participate in a fund with broader investment policies, lower management fees and total expenses<R>,</R> and has experienced better historical performance.

Investment Objectives and Policies

The following summarizes the investment objective and policy differences between International Bond and Strategic Income:

International Bond seeks high total investment return. Strategic Income seeks a high level of current income. Strategic Income may also seek capital appreciation. International Bond concentrates its investments in foreign debt securities, including up to 35% in emerging markets. Strategic Income invests in foreign debt securities and emerging markets as well, but also invests in U.S. Government and investment-grade U.S. dollar denominated securities, making it a more diversified fund than International Bond. Strategic Income generally allocates its assets among four investment categories: high yield (approximately 40%); U.S. Government and U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade (approximately 30%); emerging markets (approximately 15%); and foreign developed markets (approximately 15%).

Expense Structures and Investment Minimums

The management fees and other expenses of the funds, as a percentage of their average net assets, vary from year to year. The total operating expenses (the sum of their respective management fee and other expenses) of the funds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2001 were 1.21% for International Bond and 0.95% for Strategic Income. FMR has voluntary agreed to reimburse Strategic Income to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.10%. This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

Neither fund has a front end-sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Both funds require a minimum initial investment of $2,500 and have a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 for fund balances that fall below $2,000.

The Proposed Reorganization

Shareholders of International Bond will be asked at the Meeting to vote upon and approve the Reorganization and the Agreement, which provide for the acquisition by Strategic Income of all of the assets of International Bond in exchange solely for shares of Strategic Income and the assumption by Strategic Income of the liabilities of International Bond. International Bond will then distribute the shares of Strategic Income to its shareholders, so that each shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Strategic Income equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder's shares of International Bond on the Closing Date (defined below). The exchange of International Bond assets for Strategic Income's shares will occur as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on January 17, 2002, or such other time and date as the parties may agree (the Closing Date). International Bond will then be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Approval of the Reorganization will be determined solely by vote of the shareholders of International Bond.

The funds have received an opinion of counsel that the Reorganization will not result in any gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes either to International Bond, Strategic Income or to the shareholders of either fund. The rights and privileges of the former shareholders of International Bond will be effectively unchanged by the Reorganization.

The Funds' Fees

Each fund pays its management fees and other expenses separately. The sum of a fund's management fee and other expenses is its "total operating expenses". A fund's total operating expenses, as a percentage of its average net assets, vary from year to year.

Management Fees. Each fund pays a management fee to FMR for managing its investments and business affairs which is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

Each fund's management fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by respective 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. The individual fund fee rate is 0.45% for Strategic Income and 0.55% for International Bond. For the 12 months ended June 30, 2001, Strategic Income's total management fee rate was 0.58% and International Bond's total management fee rate was 0.68%. For more information about the funds' current management fees, refer to their prospectuses.

Other Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable by the funds, each fund also incurs other expenses for services such as maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder statements and financial reports. Effective April 8, 1998, FMR has voluntarily agreed to limit the total operating expenses of Strategic Income to 1.10% of average net assets (excluding interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses). This arrangement may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

International Bond's transfer agent expenses are higher than Strategic Income's due to International Bond's lower average account size. The costs of servicing those accounts will be borne by Strategic Income after the Reorganization but reductions in other non-management fees should offset the higher expenses related to transfer agent services.

The following table shows the fees and expenses of International Bond and Strategic Income for the 12 month period ended June 30, 2001 (unaudited). The table also includes pro forma fees based on the same time period after giving effect to the Reorganization.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses

Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of each fund's assets. Expenses are factored into each fund's share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder accounts. The following figures are based on historical expenses as of June 30, 2001, adjusted to reflect current fees, and are calculated as a percentage of average net assets of each fund.

These examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested and that the percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Expenses remain the same in the years shown. These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to suggest actual or expected expenses, which may vary. The assumed return of 5% is not a prediction of, and does not represent, actual or expected performance of any fund.

Forms of Organization

Both funds are non-diversified funds of the trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 10, 1976. The trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of the same Massachusetts business trust, organized under the same Declaration of Trust, the rights of the security holders of International Bond under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganization. For more information regarding shareholder rights, refer to the section of each fund's statement of additional information called "Description of the Trust."

Investment Objectives and Policies

The investment objective of each fund is fundamental and may not be changed without the approval of a vote of at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the fund. There can be no assurance that any fund will achieve its objective. With the exception of fundamental policies, investment policies of the funds can be changed without shareholder approval.

International Bond

International Bond seeks high total investment return.

FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in foreign debt securities. FMR currently intends to limit investments in emerging market issuers to 35% of the fund's assets. The securities of most emerging market issuers as well as some developed market issuers are lower-quality debt securities.

FMR normally diversifies the fund's investments across different countries and regions. In allocating the fund's investments across countries and regions, FMR will consider the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value and any short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies. FMR's analysis also considers the credit, currency, and economic risks associated with the security and country of its issuer.

Strategic Income

Strategic Income seeks a high level of current income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

FMR expects to invest the fund's assets primarily in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, allocated among four general investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and investment-grade securities, emerging market securities, and foreign developed market securities. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in equity securities.

The fund's neutral mix, or the benchmark for its combination of investments in each category over time, is approximately 40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 15% foreign developed markets. In normal market environments, FMR expects the fund's asset allocation to approximate the neutral mix within a range of plus or minus 10% of assets per category, although there are no absolute limits on the percent of assets invested in each category. FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes changes gradually over time to favor investments that it believes provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective. By allocating investments across different types of fixed-income securities, FMR attempts to moderate the significant risks of each category through diversification.

The high yield category includes high-yielding, lower-quality debt securities consisting mainly of U.S. securities. The U.S. Government and investment-grade category includes mortgage securities, U.S. Government securities, and other investment-grade U.S. dollar denominated securities. The emerging market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located in emerging markets. The foreign developed market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located in developed foreign markets.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer. In buying and selling securities for the the fund, FMR generally analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value. In selecting foreign securities, FMR's analysis also considers the credit, currency, and economic risks associated with the security and country of its issuer. FMR may also consider an issuer's potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions.

COMPARISON OF OTHER POLICIES OF THE FUNDS

Diversification. Each fund is a non-diversified fund. Non-diversified funds have the ability to invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer. As a result changes in market value of a single issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund. Generally, each fund does not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one issuer and, with respect to 50% of total assets, does not invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer.

Borrowing. As a matter of fundamental policy, both funds may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and may engage in reverse repurchase agreements provided that the borrowed amounts in combination do not exceed 33<R>-</R>1/3% of the fund's total assets less liabilities. For these purposes, the funds may borrow money from banks or from other funds advised by FMR.

Lending. Neither fund currently intends to lend assets, other than securities, to other parties, except by lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to other funds or portfolios advised by FMR or an affiliate. As a matter of fundamental policy, each fund may not lend more than 33-1/3% of its total assets to other parties. These limitations do not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.

For more information about the risks and restrictions associated with these policies, see the respective fund's prospectus, and for a more detailed discussion of the funds' investments, see their statements of additional information, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Operations of Strategic Income Following the Reorganization

FMR does not expect Strategic Income to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, FMR does not anticipate significant changes to the fund's management or to agents that provide the fund with services. Specifically, the Trustees and officers, the investment adviser, distributor, and other agents will continue to serve Strategic Income in their current capacities. The portfolio manager of Strategic Income is expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management after the Reorganization.

All of the current investments of International Bond are permissible investments for Strategic Income. Nevertheless, if shareholders approve the Reorganization, FMR may sell certain securities held by International Bond and purchase other securities. Transaction costs associated with such adjustments that occur between shareholder approval and the Closing Date will be borne by the fund that incurred them. Transaction costs associated with such adjustments that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Strategic Income.

Purchases and Redemptions

The price to buy one share of each fund is each fund's net asset value (NAV). Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge. Shares are purchased at the next NAV after an investment is received in proper form. Each fund's NAV is normally calculated as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

The price to sell one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Shares are sold at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form.

On June 29, 2001, International Bond closed to new accounts pending the Reorganization. International Bond shareholders as of that date can continue to purchase shares of the fund. Shareholders of each fund may redeem shares through the Closing Date of the Reorganization. If the Reorganization is approved, the purchase and redemption policies of Strategic Income will remain unchanged.

Refer to each fund's prospectus for more information regarding how to buy and redeem shares.

Exchanges

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

The exchange privilege currently offered by each fund is the same and is not expected to change after the Reorganization. Shareholders of the funds may exchange their shares of the fund for shares of any other Fidelity fund available in a shareholder's state.

Dividends and Other Distributions

Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions. Each fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. Each fund normally pays capital gain distributions in February and December.

On or before the Closing Date, International Bond may declare additional dividends or other distributions in order to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gain. It is unlikely that any gains on the sale of securities by International Bond during the period between shareholder approval and the Closing Date of the merger will generate taxable distributions to shareholders.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization

Each fund has received an opinion of its counsel, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, that the Reorganization will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized to the funds or their shareholders as a result of the Reorganization. Please see the section entitled "Federal Income Tax Considerations" for more information.

As of December 31, 2000, International Bond and Strategic Income had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $95,321,000 and $1,310,000, respectively. Under current federal tax law, Strategic Income may be limited to using only a <R>small </R>portion, if any, of the capital loss carryforwards transferred by International Bond at the time of the Reorganization ("capital loss carryforwards"). There is no assurance that Strategic Income will be able to realize sufficient capital gains to use the capital loss carryforwards before they expire. The capital loss carryforward<R>s</R> attributable to Strategic Income will expire between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2008. The capital loss carryforward<R>s</R> attributable to International Bond will expire between December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2008.

COMPARISON OF PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS

Many factors affect each fund's performance. A 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. A 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. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of each fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares of a fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

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.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

The primary difference between the two funds' investment policies is that International Bond normally holds at least 65% of its total assets in foreign debt securities, including emerging market debt securities, whereas Strategic Income <R>invests in a broader range of securities including </R>high yield, U.S. Government and investment grade securities, as well as emerging market securities and foreign developed market securities. FMR may also invest Strategic Income's assets in equity securities.

THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL BOND AND STRATEGIC INCOME.

Reorganization Plan

The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Proxy Statement.

The Agreement contemplates (a) Strategic Income acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of International Bond in exchange solely for shares of Strategic Income and the assumption by Strategic Income of International Bond's liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Strategic Income to the shareholders of International Bond as provided for in the Agreement.

The assets of International Bond to be acquired by Strategic Income include all cash, cash equivalents, securities, receivables (including interest or dividends receivables), claims, choses in action, and other property owned by International Bond, and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of International Bond on the Closing Date. Strategic Income will assume from International Bond all liabilities, debts, obligations, and duties of International Bond of whatever kind or nature, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, whether or not determinable on the Closing Date, and whether or not specifically referred to in the Agreement; provided, however, that International Bond will use its best efforts, to the extent practicable, to discharge all of its known liabilities prior to the Closing Date, other than liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. Strategic Income also will deliver to International Bond the number of full and fractional shares of Strategic Income having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of International Bond less the liabilities of International Bond as of the Closing Date. International Bond shall then distribute the Strategic Income shares pro rata to its shareholders.

The value of International Bond's assets to be acquired by Strategic Income and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Strategic Income will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in International Bond's then-current prospectus and statement of additional information. The net asset value of a share of Strategic Income will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current prospectus and statement of additional information.

As of the Closing Date, International Bond will distribute to its shareholders of record the shares of Strategic Income it received, so that each International Bond shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Strategic Income equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of International Bond held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; International Bond will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Such distribution will be accomplished by opening accounts on the books of Strategic Income in the names of the International Bond shareholders and by transferring thereto shares of Strategic Income. Each International Bond shareholder's account will be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares (rounded to the third decimal place) of Strategic Income due that shareholder. Strategic Income shall not issue certificates representing its shares in connection with such exchange.

Accordingly, immediately after the Reorganization, each former International Bond shareholder will own shares of Strategic Income equal to the aggregate net asset value of that shareholder's shares of International Bond immediately prior to the Reorganization. The net asset value per share of Strategic Income will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder interest.

Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Strategic Income in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of International Bond as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of International Bond is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which International Bond is liquidated.

Pursuant to its management contract with FMR, International Bond will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and proxy statements, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation. However, there may be some transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to International Bond and Strategic Income due to the Reorganization prior to the Closing Date which will be borne by International Bond and Strategic Income, respectively. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to International Bond and Strategic Income due to the Reorganization which occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Strategic Income which occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Strategic Income. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments. See the section entitled "Reasons for the Reorganization."

The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner, except that no amendment that may have a materially adverse effect on the shareholders' interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.

Reasons for the Reorganization

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of the funds have determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of both funds and that the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of the interests of shareholders of either fund.

In considering the Reorganization, the Board considered a number of factors, including the following:

(1) the compatibility of the funds' investment objectives and policies;

(2) the historical performance of the funds;

(3) the management fees and relative expense ratios of the funds;

(4) the costs to be incurred by each fund as a result of the Reorganization;

(5) the tax consequences of the Reorganization;

<R> (6) the relative size of the funds; and</R>

(7) the benefit to FMR and to the shareholders of the funds.

FMR recommended the Reorganization to the Board at a meeting of the <R>Board</R> on June 14, 2001. FMR advised the Board that the merger will combine two small funds, creating a single fund with greater assets and lower expenses. Strategic Income will benefit from operational efficiencies resulting from a fund with a larger asset base. The Board also considered that International Bond shareholders would benefit from owning shares of a fund with broader investment policies, lower management fees and total expenses<R>,</R> and has experienced better historical performance.

Description of the Securities to be Issued

The trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) as an open-end management investment company. The trust's Trustees are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Strategic Income is one of <R>four</R> funds of the trust which also includes International Bond. Each share of Strategic Income represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Strategic Income is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of the fund is entitled to one vote for each dollar value of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns. Shares of Strategic Income have no preemptive or conversion rights. The voting and dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the fund's prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonaccessible, except as set forth in the fund's statement of additional information under the heading "Shareholder Liability."

The trust does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of record of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of an investment company may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the trust's outstanding shares.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The exchange of International Bond's assets for Strategic Income's shares and the assumption of the liabilities of International Bond by Strategic Income is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. The funds have received an opinion from Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, counsel to International Bond and Strategic Income, substantially to the effect that:

(i) The acquisition by Strategic Income of all of the assets of International Bond solely in exchange for Strategic Income shares and the assumption by Strategic Income of International Bond's liabilities, followed by the distribution by International Bond of Strategic Income shares to the shareholders of International Bond pursuant to the liquidation of International Bond and constructively in exchange for their International Bond shares, will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code, and International Bond and Strategic Income will each be "a party to a reorganization" within the meaning of section 368(b) of the Code;

(ii) No gain or loss will be recognized by International Bond upon the transfer of all of its assets to Strategic Income in exchange solely for Strategic Income shares and Strategic Income's assumption of International Bond's liabilities, followed by International Bond's subsequent distribution of those shares to shareholders in liquidation of International Bond;

(iii) No gain or loss will be recognized by Strategic Income upon the receipt of the assets of International Bond in exchange solely for Strategic Income shares and its assumption of International Bond's liabilities;

(iv) The shareholders of International Bond will recognize no gain or loss upon the exchange of their International Bond shares solely for Strategic Income shares;

(v) The basis of International Bond's assets in the hands of Strategic Income will be the same as the basis of those assets in the hands of International Bond immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of those assets in the hands of Strategic Income will include the holding period of those assets in the hands of International Bond;

(vi) The basis of International Bond shareholders in Strategic Income shares will be the same as their basis in International Bond shares to be surrendered in exchange therefor; and

(vii)The holding period of the Strategic Income shares to be received by the International Bond shareholders will include the period during which the International Bond shares to be surrendered in exchange therefor were held, provided such International Bond shares were held as capital assets by those shareholders on the date of the Reorganization.

Shareholders of International Bond should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the proposed Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion only relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

Conclusion

The Agreement and the transactions provided for therein were approved by the Board of the Trustees of the trust at a meeting held on June 14, 2001. The Board determined that the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of each fund and that the interests of shareholders of International Bond and Strategic Income would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization is not consummated, International Bond will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company and <R>the</R> trust's Board will consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of the fund.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund started on May 1, 1998. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The composite index combines the total returns of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index and the Salomon Smith Barney Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index, weighted according to the fund's neutral mix. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the multi-sector income funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 116 mutual funds. These benchmarks listed in the table above include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Strategic Income Fund on May 1, 1998, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by December 31, 2000, the value of the investment would have grown to $11,081 - a 10.81% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities - did over the same period. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $9,677 - a 3.23% decrease. You can also look at how the Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index - a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices that is more representative of the fund's investable universe - did over the same period. This index combines returns from the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, and the Salomon Smith Barney Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index, according to the fund's neutral mix.* With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $10,884 - an 8.84% increase.

* Currently 40% high-yield, 30% U.S. government and investment-grade bonds, 15% emerging-markets, and 15% foreign developed-markets.

The following is an interview with John Carlson, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Strategic Income Fund, with additional comments from Kevin Grant on U.S. government and investment-grade securities; Mark Notkin on high-yield securities; and Ian Spreadbury on foreign developed-market securities. John Carlson also manages the emerging-markets portion of the fund.

Q. How did the fund perform, John?

J.C. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 2000, the fund returned 4.07%. The multi-sector income funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 0.01%, while the Fidelity Strategic Income Composite benchmark returned 3.45% during the same period.

Q. Why did the fund outperform its benchmarks?

J.C. Each of the four subportfolios that make up the fund surpassed its respective benchmark. The portfolio managers will detail how they managed their subportfolios and were able to achieve this success.

Q. Kevin, how did the U.S. government bond market fare?

K.G. The past year was a good one for the U.S. Treasuries market. Stock market uncertainty coupled with fears that the U.S. economy was slowing led investors to seek safety in U.S. government-backed securities. The U.S. Treasury used its large budget surplus to reduce Treasury bill, note and bond auctions and continue its high-coupon bond buyback program. These factors combined to create a shortage in an asset class that was much in demand. By mid-year, the markets began to anticipate that interest rates would be eased. As the third quarter progressed, fears of inflation lessened, while concerns of recession came to the forefront as many large companies pre-announced earnings misses. Looking ahead, I believe that the U.S. budget surplus and low inflationary pressures will continue to be key factors in keeping U.S. Treasuries in short supply.

Q. Mark, what drove the high-yield subportfolio's outperformance?

M.N. Despite weakness in the market driven by a slowing U.S. economy and expectations of increasing default rates, the subportfolio significantly outperformed its benchmark mainly due to superior security selection. Positive contributors included securities of Winstar, VoiceStream and Chancellor Media. Bonds of Winstar, a wireless CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier), benefited from a refinancing of its capital structure earlier in the year. The fund sold the position prior to year-end. Securities of VoiceStream, a national wireless operator, rose due to strong industry fundamentals, solid execution and an announced merger with Deutsche Telecom. Chancellor Media was acquired by Clear Channel Communications, making it one of the largest outdoor media companies in the world. The subportfolio was negatively affected by an overweighted position in telecommunications and an underweighting in energy, but this was more than offset by an overweighting in broadcasting and underweighted positions in the automotive, steel and entertainment sectors. My outlook for the high-yield market is cautiously optimistic. While economic growth has clearly slowed, credit spreads have reached levels not seen since the end of 1990 when the economy was in a recession. High absolute yields and wide credit spreads should attract investors and increase demand for high-yield securities.

Q. John, how did the emerging-markets debt subportfolio surpass its benchmark?

J.C. Restructurings, politics and the intervention of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were significant drivers of emerging-markets debt this year. Restructuring stories included the top two performers in the index - Ecuador and Russia. After a default in 1999 and a military coup in January, Ecuador's new president introduced crucial economic reforms including the adoption of the U.S. dollar as its currency. In July, the country reached a restructuring agreement with its private creditors and emerged from default. Russia also completed a restructuring of its external debt. In addition, the country elected its second president since the fall of communism. Continued reforms, current account surpluses and a massive reserve stockpiling helped bolster its debt prices. As reforms and restructurings in Russia and Ecuador were shaping up, I overweighted both positions relative to the benchmark, which contributed significantly to absolute and relative performance. The most noteworthy political event in emerging markets was Mexico's July elections, in which power was successfully transitioned from a party that had ruled the country for over 70 years. Finally, the proactive intervention of the IMF - in Argentina to provide liquidity and help bolster confidence, and in Turkey to stave off a banking crisis - was of critical importance.

Q. Ian, what events affected non-U.S. developed-country debt?

I.S. Economic growth in the United Kingdom peaked mid-year as the economy began to slow in the third and fourth quarters. Supply considerations led to strong performance in government bonds, especially longer-dated bonds, while heavy merger activity and equity volatility led to poor performance in lower-rated corporate bonds. As a result, I increased exposure to longer-dated government bonds in the first half of 2000. The euro-market countries did not follow the same economic cycle, although economic growth showed signs of peaking in the third quarter. I reduced exposure to corporate bonds since the high level of new issuance - combined with equity volatility, increased merger activity and mobile telephone auctions - led to relatively weak performance in corporate bonds. In Japan, the fund remained invested in euro-yen bonds and I kept duration short since yields were low. The Canadian economy was strong and the portfolio invested in government securities due to limited supply and quality constraints of corporate bonds. My outlook for the developed-country market is generally positive with the exception of Japan. If the U.S. avoids an economic "hard landing," the outlook for global government and corporate bond markets is good.

Q. John, what's your outlook for the fund?

J.C. I remain constructive on global markets. With that in mind, the fund will maintain its strategic allocations among the four subportfolios. In the high-yield and emerging-markets subportfolios, we will focus Fidelity's research efforts on selecting companies and countries positioned to outperform across a broad range of scenarios. I also anticipate that the foreign developed markets and investment-grade subportfolios will continue to provide the currency diversification and liquidity benefits that make them so valuable when the economic outlook is uncertain.

EXHIBIT 1

FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the Agreement) is made as of October 22, 2001, by and between Fidelity International Bond Fund (International Bond) and Fidelity Strategic Income Fund (Strategic Income), funds of Fidelity School Street Trust (the trust). The trust is a duly organized business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with its principal place of business at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Strategic Income and International Bond may be referred to herein collectively as the "Funds" or each individually as the "Fund."

This Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The reorganization will comprise: (a) the transfer of all of the assets of International Bond to Strategic Income solely in exchange for shares of beneficial interest in Strategic Income (the Strategic Income Shares) and the assumption by Strategic Income of International Bond's liabilities; and (b) the constructive distribution of such shares by International Bond pro rata to its shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of International Bond in exchange for all of International Bond's outstanding shares. International Bond shall receive shares of Strategic Income having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of International Bond on the <R>Closing Date</R> (as defined in section 6), which International Bond shall then distribute pro rata to its shareholders. The foregoing transactions are referred to herein as the "Reorganization."

In consideration of the mutual promises and subject to the terms and conditions herein, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INTERNATIONAL BOND. International Bond represents and warrants to and agrees with Strategic Income that:

(a) International Bond is a series of Fidelity School Street Trust, a business trust duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and has the power to own all of its properties and assets and to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. It has all necessary federal, state, and local authorizations to carry on its business as now being conducted and to carry out this Agreement;

(b) Fidelity School Street Trust is an open-end, management investment company duly registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and such registration is in full force and effect;

(c) The prospectus and statement of additional information of International Bond dated February 28, 2001 and supplement to the prospectus, dated June 22, 2001, previously furnished to Strategic Income, did not and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

Important Proxy Materials

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE NOW!

Dear Shareholder:

I am writing to ask you for your vote on an important proposal to merge Fidelity International Bond Fund into Fidelity Strategic Income Fund. A shareholder meeting is scheduled for December 19, 2001. Votes received in time to be counted at the meeting will decide whether the merger takes place. This package contains information about the proposal and includes all the materials you will need to vote by mail.

The funds' Board of Trustees has reviewed the proposed merger and has recommended that the proposed merger be presented to shareholders. The Trustees, most of who are not affiliated with Fidelity, are responsible for protecting your interests as a shareholder. The Trustees have determined that the proposed merger is in shareholders' best interest. However, the final decision is up to you.

The proposed merger would provide shareholders of Fidelity International Bond Fund with an opportunity to participate in a more diversified fund with lower total expenses and better historical performance. The investment objective of Fidelity International Bond Fund is to seek high total investment return. Fidelity Strategic Income Fund seeks a high level of current income and may also seek capital appreciation. The principal difference between the funds is that Fidelity International Bond Fund concentrates its investments in foreign debt securities and emerging markets, while Fidelity Strategic Income Fund is more diversified, investing in high yield, U.S. government and U.S. dollar investment grade securities, as well as foreign and emerging market debt. As you know, in anticipation of the proposed merger, Fidelity International Bond Fund was closed to new accounts at the close of business on June 29, 2001. We have attached a Q&A to assist you in understanding the proposal. The enclosed proxy statement includes a detailed description of the proposed merger.

Please read the enclosed materials and promptly cast your vote on the proxy card(s). You are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of the fund on the record date (October 22, 2001). Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.

Voting by is quick and easy. Everything you need is enclosed. To cast your vote, simply complete the proxy card(s) enclosed in this package. Be sure to sign the card(s) before mailing it in the postage-paid envelope. You may also vote your shares by touch-tone telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions.

If you have any questions before you vote, please call us at 1-800-544-3198. We will be glad to help you get your vote in quickly. Thank you for your participation in this important initiative for your funds.

Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposals

Please read the full text of the enclosed proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposals to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.

What proposal am I being asked to vote on?

Shareholders of the fund are being asked to vote on the following proposal:

1. To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) between Fidelity International Bond Fund and Fidelity Strategic Income Fund. The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Fidelity International Bond Fund to Fidelity Strategic Income Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Fidelity Strategic Income Fund and the assumption by Fidelity Strategic Income Fund of Fidelity International Bond Fund's liabilities. As a result, Fidelity Strategic Income Fund shares will be distributed to shareholders of Fidelity International Bond Fund in liquidation of Fidelity International Bond Fund.

What is the reason for and advantages of this merger?

The proposed merger would combine two small funds, creating a single fund with greater assets and lower expenses and provide shareholders of Fidelity International Bond Fund with an opportunity to invest in a fund with broader investment policies, and a lower management fee. Fidelity Strategic Income Fund has significantly outperformed Fidelity International Bond Fund in each of the last two years, as evidenced by historical performance.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

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

Principal Investment Strategies

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

  • Investing primarily in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities.
  • Allocating the fund's assets among four general investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and investment-grade securities, emerging market securities, and foreign developed market securities.
  • Potentially investing in equity securities.
  • Using a neutral mix of approximately 40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 15% foreign developed markets.
  • Analyzing a security's structural features and current pricing, its issuer's potential for success, and the credit, currency, and economic risks of the security and its issuer 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<R>, </R>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<R>, </R>or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulator<R>y,</R> and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
  • Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
  • 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) <R>and certain types of other securities</R> can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market<R>, </R>or economic developments and can be difficult to resell.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

Fund Summary - continued

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

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

Performance

The following information illustrates the changes in the fund's performance from year to year and compares the fund's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time.

Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index is a hypothetical representation of the performance of the fund's four general investment categories according to their respective weighting in the fund's neutral mix (40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% foreign developed markets<R>,</R> and 15% emerging markets). The following indexes are used to calculate the composite index: high yield - the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, U.S. Government and investment-grade - the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, foreign developed markets - the Salomon <R>Smith Barney</R> Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index, and emerging markets - the J.P.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

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

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR expects to invest the fund's assets primarily in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, allocated among four general investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and investment-grade securities, emerging market securities, and foreign developed market securities. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in equity securities.

The fund's neutral mix, or the benchmark for its combination of investments in each category over time, is approximately 40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 15% foreign developed markets. In normal market environments, FMR expects the fund's asset allocation to approximate the neutral mix within a range of plus or minus 10% of assets per category, although there are no absolute limits on the percent of assets invested in each category. FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes changes gradually over time to favor investments that it believes provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective. By allocating investments across different types of fixed-income securities, FMR attempts to moderate the significant risks of each category through diversification.

The high yield category includes high-yielding, lower-quality debt securities consisting mainly of U.S. securities. The U.S. Government and investment-grade category includes mortgage securities, U.S. Government securities, and other investment-grade U.S. dollar denominated securities. The emerging market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located in emerging markets. The foreign developed market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located in developed foreign markets.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value. In selecting foreign securities, FMR's analysis also considers the credit, currency, and economic risks associated with the security and the country of its issuer. FMR may also consider an issuer's potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions.

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

Fund Basics - continued

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 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, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, and loans and loan participations.

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. <R>Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to the market value of that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. </R>When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

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.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

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

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an issuer's securities. 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) a<R>nd certain types of other securities </R>tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities a<R>nd certain types of other securities </R>involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt <R>securities and certain types of other </R>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.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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 polic<R>ies</R> discussed below <R>are </R>fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Strategic Income Fund seeks a high level of current 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 NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available <R>or does not accurately reflect fair value</R> 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.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of the fund is the fund's NAV.

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

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. 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;
  • Your account registration has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account;
  • The check is being mailed to a different address than the one on your account (record address);
  • The check is being made payable to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity 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, leave at least $2,000 worth of shares in the account to keep it open ($500 for retirement accounts), except accounts not subject to account minimums.

  • 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.

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

Shareholder Information - continued

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses <R>may</R> be mailed to households, even if more than one person in the<R> household holds shares of </R>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 5000, Cincinnati, Ohio 45273-8692.

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 losses 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 immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

When you sign your account application, you will be asked to certify that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require the fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.

Fidelity may deduct an annual maintenance fee of $12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Accounts 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 accounts. This fee will not be deducted from accounts <R>opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those accounts use</R> regular investment plans.

If your account balance falls below $2,000 (except accounts not subject to account minimums), you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV on the day your account is closed.

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.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

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

Earning Dividends

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

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

Distribution Options

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

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital 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.

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

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

Tax Consequences

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

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

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

If a fund's distributions exceed its income and capital gains realized in any year, 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.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

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 serves as <R>a </R>sub-adviser for the fund. FMRC <R>is </R>primarily responsible for choosing certain types of investments for the fund.

John Carlson is vice president and lead manager of Strategic Income, which he has managed since inception. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Prior to joining Fidelity in 1995, Mr. Carlson was executive director of emerging markets at Lehman Brothers International from 1992 through 1995.

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 December 2000,<R> the group fee rate was 0.1268%.</R> The individual fund fee rate is 0.45%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, <R>2000, was 0.58%</R> of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FIMM, <R>FMRC, </R>FMR U.K., FMR Far Eas<R>t</R>, and FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. <R>FIIA o</R>r FMR Far East in <R>turn</R> pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the fund <R>for </R>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 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 <R>significant amount</R>s to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers<R>,</R> and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees <R>of the fund</R> has authorized such payments.

Prospectus

Fund Services - continued

<R>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.</R>

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

<R>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.</R>

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

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC.
