Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

Semiannual Report

Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund - Class A

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). The initial offering of Class A shares took place on October 2, 2002. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to October 2, 2002 are those of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, the original retail class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2002 would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Class A's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on June 26, 2002. For example, if you 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 Class A's return to the performance of the Lehman Brothers® U.S. TIPS Index - an index that represents securities that protect against adverse inflation and provide a minimum level of real return. To be included in this index, bonds must have cash flows linked to an inflation index, be sovereign issues denominated in U.S. currency, and have more than one year to maturity, and, as a portion of the index, total a minimum amount outstanding of 100 million U.S. dollars. The benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

Average Annual Total Returns

Average annual total returns take Class A's cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Class A shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old. In addition, the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A will appear in the fund's next report six months from now.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. From the fund's inception on June 26, 2002, through October 31, 2002, Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares provided total returns of 4.30%, 4.30%, 4.23% and 4.12%, respectively. For the same period, the Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS Index, which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests, returned 4.81%. Going forward, we will compare the fund's returns to its benchmark and a Lipper peer group average at six- and 12-month intervals.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What are TIPS, and what is the goal of the fund?

A. TIPS, also known as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, are designed so that both the principal and interest payments are adjusted for inflation. The TIPs market totals about $150 billion in 10 bonds outstanding. Turning to the fund, it seeks a total return that exceeds the rate of inflation over the long-term by investing primarily in inflation-protected debt securities - focusing on TIPS. The principal of TIPS is indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) so it grows with inflation, thereby preserving real purchasing power. The coupon rate of TIPS is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal, so as the principal increases for inflation, the interest payable will increase as well.

Q. What was the investment environment like from the fund's inception through the end of the period, and how did it affect inflation-protected bonds?

A. The investment backdrop overall was quite favorable for TIPS, and they were among the bond market's top performers during the period. Economic growth decelerated sharply, weakened by rising global political tensions, weak business spending, rising unemployment and declining consumer confidence, among other factors. Furthermore, the stock market continued to come under pressure in response to further disclosures of corporate misdeeds and eroding corporate earnings. The Federal Reserve Board altered its interest rate policy from a neutral stance - in which the risk of inflation and a recession were equally balanced - to a bias toward further interest rate cuts. That change in policy also helped buoy U.S. Treasury bonds, including inflation-protected securities. In addition to benefiting from the Treasury market rally, demand for inflation-protected securities was strong from a number of investor groups, including conservative investors who favored the AAA-rated status that TIPS carry and savers searching for a higher-yielding alternative to money market funds. In addition, there was an increase in the number of inflation-sensitive investors looking for a way to keep pace with inflation over the long term and those looking for a fixed-income product that might hold its value better if interest rates were to rise.

Q. How did you manage the fund during the period?

A. I focused on TIPS, even though the fund can invest in other types of inflation-protected securities. I did that because of my belief that investors in the portfolio are conservative by nature. I also felt they are not looking to take on the credit risk - which is the risk that bond investors can lose money if an issuer defaults or if a bond's credit rating is reduced - associated with corporate bonds. Further, I generally didn't feel that investors were comfortable taking on the foreign exchange risks associated with foreign government bonds.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. We're currently in an environment in which inflation isn't a significant scare in the marketplace. That enables investors to buy inflation protection relatively inexpensively. That said, it's important for investors to recognize that TIPS, like all bonds, are subject to interest rate risk. All interest rates are at historic lows, and TIPS are no exception. So if rates start to move higher, TIPS prices may decline. I'm also somewhat concerned that the ballooning federal budget deficit may put pressure on Treasury securities initially - and ultimately, perhaps, the entire bond market - if the government issues significant amounts of new debt. But I'm hopeful that investors will continue to look to the bond market as a way to diversify their portfolios, a trend that should bode well for the fixed-income markets over the long term.

Tom Silvia on determining the attractiveness of TIPS:

"TIPS are designed to help investors offset inflation risk. Inflation, while virtually non-existent throughout the past year, can quickly eat away at the value of a bond. Here's how TIPS work: Using the Consumer Price Index as a benchmark, the value of the bond's principal is adjusted to reflect the effects of inflation. A fixed interest rate is paid semiannually on the adjusted amount. At maturity, if inflation has increased the value of the principal, the investor receives the higher value. Because of the built-in inflation protection, these securities usually offer lower coupon rates than Treasuries of similar maturities without the inflation-protected feature. It's useful to think of TIPS as providing insurance against inflation. Since there's so little concern about inflation right now, the cost of insurance against it is relatively cheap. We measure that cost by calculating the inflation rate at which a holder of inflation-linked Treasuries would do better than the holder of ordinary securities. Let's look at a real-life example. At the end of the period, a 10-year Treasury bond carried a yield of 4.10% and a 10-year TIPS carried a yield of 2.59%. If the Consumer Price Index rises an average of about 1.51 percentage points annually over the next 10 years, the TIPS will perform better."

Coupon distribution shows the range of stated interest rates on the fund's investments, excluding short-term investments. The coupon rates on inflation-protected bonds tend to be lower than their nominal bond counterparts since inflation-protected bonds get adjusted for actual inflation, while nominal bond coupon rates include a component for expected inflation.

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the original class), Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The fund commenced sale of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund on June 26, 2002 and commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares on October 2, 2002. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though the principal is not received until maturity.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Prepaid Expenses. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears all organizational expenses of the fund, except for the cost of registering and qualifying new shares for distribution under federal and state securities law. These registration expenses are borne by the fund and amortized over one year.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent (collectively referred to as the transfer agent) for each class of the fund, except for Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund - Institutional Class

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on October 2, 2002. Returns prior to October 2, 2002 are those of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, the original retail class of the fund. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

Cumulative Total Returns

Period ended October 31, 2002

Life of
fund

Fidelity ® Adv Inflation-Protected Bond - Inst CL

4.31%

LB U.S. TIPS

4.81%

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on June 26, 2002. For example, if you 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 Institutional Class' return to the performance of the Lehman Brothers® U.S. TIPS Index - an index that represents securities that protect against adverse inflation and provide a minimum level of real return. To be included in this index, bonds must have cash flows linked to an inflation index, be sovereign issues denominated in U.S. currency, and have more than one year to maturity, and, as a portion of the index, total a minimum amount outstanding of 100 million U.S. dollars. The benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

Average Annual Total Returns

Average annual total returns take Institutional Class' cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Institutional Class shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old. In addition, the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Institutional Class will appear in the fund's next report six months from now.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the class for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.41 over the life of the class, you can compare the class' income over this one period. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. Yield information will be reported once Institutional Class has a longer, more stable operating history.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Inflation-Protected Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. From the fund's inception on June 26, 2002, through October 31, 2002, Institutional Class shares provided a total return of 4.31%. For the same period, the Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS Index, which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests, returned 4.81%. Going forward, we will compare the fund's returns to its benchmark and a Lipper peer group average at six- and 12-month intervals.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What are TIPS, and what is the goal of the fund?

A. TIPS, also known as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, are designed so that both the principal and interest payments are adjusted for inflation. The TIPs market totals about $150 billion in 10 bonds outstanding. Turning to the fund, it seeks a total return that exceeds the rate of inflation over the long-term by investing primarily in inflation-protected debt securities - focusing on TIPS. The principal of TIPS is indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) so it grows with inflation, thereby preserving real purchasing power. The coupon rate of TIPS is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal, so as the principal increases for inflation, the interest payable will increase as well.

Q. What was the investment environment like from the fund's inception through the end of the period, and how did it affect inflation-protected bonds?

A. The investment backdrop overall was quite favorable for TIPS, and they were among the bond market's top performers during the period. Economic growth decelerated sharply, weakened by rising global political tensions, weak business spending, rising unemployment and declining consumer confidence, among other factors. Furthermore, the stock market continued to come under pressure in response to further disclosures of corporate misdeeds and eroding corporate earnings. The Federal Reserve Board altered its interest rate policy from a neutral stance - in which the risk of inflation and a recession were equally balanced - to a bias toward further interest rate cuts. That change in policy also helped buoy U.S. Treasury bonds, including inflation-protected securities. In addition to benefiting from the Treasury market rally, demand for inflation-protected securities was strong from a number of investor groups, including conservative investors who favored the AAA-rated status that TIPS carry and savers searching for a higher-yielding alternative to money market funds. In addition, there was an increase in the number of inflation-sensitive investors looking for a way to keep pace with inflation over the long term and those looking for a fixed-income product that might hold its value better if interest rates were to rise.

Q. How did you manage the fund during the period?

A. I focused on TIPS, even though the fund can invest in other types of inflation-protected securities. I did that because of my belief that investors in the portfolio are conservative by nature. I also felt they are not looking to take on the credit risk - which is the risk that bond investors can lose money if an issuer defaults or if a bond's credit rating is reduced - associated with corporate bonds. Further, I generally didn't feel that investors were comfortable taking on the foreign exchange risks associated with foreign government bonds.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. We're currently in an environment in which inflation isn't a significant scare in the marketplace. That enables investors to buy inflation protection relatively inexpensively. That said, it's important for investors to recognize that TIPS, like all bonds, are subject to interest rate risk. All interest rates are at historic lows, and TIPS are no exception. So if rates start to move higher, TIPS prices may decline. I'm also somewhat concerned that the ballooning federal budget deficit may put pressure on Treasury securities initially - and ultimately, perhaps, the entire bond market - if the government issues significant amounts of new debt. But I'm hopeful that investors will continue to look to the bond market as a way to .diversify their portfolios, a trend that should bode well for the fixed-income markets over the long term.

Tom Silvia on determining the attractiveness of TIPS:

"TIPS are designed to help investors offset inflation risk. Inflation, while virtually non-existent throughout the past year, can quickly eat away at the value of a bond. Here's how TIPS work: Using the Consumer Price Index as a benchmark, the value of the bond's principal is adjusted to reflect the effects of inflation. A fixed interest rate is paid semiannually on the adjusted amount. At maturity, if inflation has increased the value of the principal, the investor receives the higher value. Because of the built-in inflation protection, these securities usually offer lower coupon rates than Treasuries of similar maturities without the inflation-protected feature. It's useful to think of TIPS as providing insurance against inflation. Since there's so little concern about inflation right now, the cost of insurance against it is relatively cheap. We measure that cost by calculating the inflation rate at which a holder of inflation-linked Treasuries would do better than the holder of ordinary securities. Let's look at a real-life example. At the end of the period, a 10-year Treasury bond carried a yield of 4.10% and a 10-year TIPS carried a yield of 2.59%. If the Consumer Price Index rises an average of about 1.51 percentage points annually over the next 10 years, the TIPS will perform better."

Coupon distribution shows the range of stated interest rates on the fund's investments, excluding short-term investments. The coupon rates on inflation-protected bonds tend to be lower than their nominal bond counterparts since inflation-protected bonds get adjusted for actual inflation, while nominal bond coupon rates include a component for expected inflation. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more information.

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the original class), Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The fund commenced sale of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund on June 26, 2002 and commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares on October 2, 2002. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though the principal is not received until maturity.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Prepaid Expenses. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears all organizational expenses of the fund, except for the cost of registering and qualifying new shares for distribution under federal and state securities law. These registration expenses are borne by the fund and amortized over one year.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Chairman's Message

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Best regards,

Semiannual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

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

Cumulative Total Returns

Period ended October 31, 2002

Life of
fund

Fidelity® Inflation-Protected Bond Fund

4.42%

LB U.S. TIPS

4.81%

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on June 26, 2002. For example, if you 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 Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund's return to the performance of the Lehman Brothers® U.S. TIPS Index - an index that represents securities that protect against adverse inflation and provide a minimum level of real return. To be included in this index, bonds must have cash flows linked to an inflation index, be sovereign issues denominated in U.S. currency, and have more than one year to maturity, and, as a portion of the index, total a minimum amount outstanding of 100 million U.S. dollars. The benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

Average Annual Total Returns

Average annual total returns take Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund's cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old. In addition, the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund will appear in the fund's next report six months from now.

Total return components include both dividend returns and capital returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the fund. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if any, paid by the fund are reinvested.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.43 over the past one month, and $10.33 over the life of the class, you can compare the class' income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the yield would have been 1.72%.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. From the fund's inception on June 26, 2002, through October 31, 2002, Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund provided a total return of 4.42%. For the same period, the Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS Index, which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests, returned 4.81%. Going forward, we will compare the fund's returns to its benchmark and a Lipper peer group average at six- and 12-month intervals.

Q. What are TIPS, and what is the goal of the fund?

A. TIPS, also known as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, are designed so that both the principal and interest payments are adjusted for inflation. The TIPs market totals about $150 billion in 10 bonds outstanding. Turning to the fund, it seeks a total return that exceeds the rate of inflation over the long-term by investing primarily in inflation-protected debt securities - focusing on TIPS. The principal of TIPS is indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) so it grows with inflation, thereby preserving real purchasing power. The coupon rate of TIPS is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal, so as the principal increases for inflation, the interest payable will increase as well.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What was the investment environment like from the fund's inception through the end of the period, and how did it affect inflation-protected bonds?

A. The investment backdrop overall was quite favorable for TIPS, and they were among the bond market's top performers during the period. Economic growth decelerated sharply, weakened by rising global political tensions, weak business spending, rising unemployment and declining consumer confidence, among other factors. Furthermore, the stock market continued to come under pressure in response to further disclosures of corporate misdeeds and eroding corporate earnings. The Federal Reserve Board altered its interest rate policy from a neutral stance - in which the risk of inflation and a recession were equally balanced - to a bias toward further interest rate cuts. That change in policy also helped buoy U.S. Treasury bonds, including inflation-protected securities. In addition to benefiting from the Treasury market rally, demand for inflation-protected securities was strong from a number of investor groups, including conservative investors who favored the AAA-rated status that TIPS carry and savers searching for a higher-yielding alternative to money market funds. In addition, there was an increase in the number of inflation-sensitive investors looking for a way to keep pace with inflation over the long term and those looking for a fixed-income product that might hold its value better if interest rates were to rise.

Q. How did you manage the fund during the period?

A. I focused on TIPS, even though the fund can invest in other types of inflation-protected securities. I did that because of my belief that investors in the portfolio are conservative by nature. I also felt they are not looking to take on the credit risk - which is the risk that bond investors can lose money if an issuer defaults or if a bond's credit rating is reduced - associated with corporate bonds. Further, I generally didn't feel that investors were comfortable taking on the foreign exchange risks associated with foreign government bonds.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. We're currently in an environment in which inflation isn't a significant scare in the marketplace. That enables investors to buy inflation protection relatively inexpensively. That said, it's important for investors to recognize that TIPS, like all bonds, are subject to interest rate risk. All interest rates are at historic lows, and TIPS are no exception. So if rates start to move higher, TIPS prices may decline. I'm also somewhat concerned that the ballooning federal budget deficit may put pressure on Treasury securities initially - and ultimately, perhaps, the entire bond market - if the government issues significant amounts of new debt. But I'm hopeful that investors will continue to look to the bond market as a way to diversify their portfolios, a trend that should bode well for the fixed-income markets over the long term.

Tom Silvia on determining the attractiveness of TIPS:

"TIPS are designed to help investors offset inflation risk. Inflation, while virtually non-existent throughout the past year, can quickly eat away at the value of a bond. Here's how TIPS work: Using the Consumer Price Index as a benchmark, the value of the bond's principal is adjusted to reflect the effects of inflation. A fixed interest rate is paid semiannually on the adjusted amount. At maturity, if inflation has increased the value of the principal, the investor receives the higher value. Because of the built-in inflation protection, these securities usually offer lower coupon rates than Treasuries of similar maturities without the inflation-protected feature. It's useful to think of TIPS as providing insurance against inflation. Since there's so little concern about inflation right now, the cost of insurance against it is relatively cheap. We measure that cost by calculating the inflation rate at which a holder of inflation-linked Treasuries would do better than the holder of ordinary securities. Let's look at a real-life example. At the end of the period, a 10-year Treasury bond carried a yield of 4.10% and a 10-year TIPS carried a yield of 2.59%. If the Consumer Price Index rises an average of about 1.51 percentage points annually over the next 10 years, the TIPS will perform better."

Coupon distribution shows the range of stated interest rates on the fund's investments, excluding short-term investments. The coupon rates on inflation-protected bonds tend to be lower than their nominal bond counterparts since inflation-protected bonds get adjusted for actual inflation, while nominal bond coupon rates include a component for expected inflation. Please refer to the fund's prospectus for more information.

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund (the original class), Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The fund commenced sale of Fidelity Inflation-Protected Bond Fund on June 26, 2002 and commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares on October 2, 2002. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though the principal is not received until maturity.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Prepaid Expenses. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears all organizational expenses of the fund, except for the cost of registering and qualifying new shares for distribution under federal and state securities law. These registration expenses are borne by the fund and amortized over one year.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

(3,200,081)

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Fidelity Advisor Investment Grade Bond Fund - Class A

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on August 27, 2002. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to August 27, 2002 are those of Investment Grade Bond Fund, the original retail class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to August 27, 2002 would have been lower. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

For example, if you 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 return to the performance of the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Inc. and grouped by similar objectives. The benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

This may produce a different figure than that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the results.)

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Investment Grade Bond - Class A on October 31, 1992, and the current 4.75% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of the investment would have grown, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index did over the same period.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize these numbers, based on an average share price of $7.49 over the past one month, and $7.52 over the life of the class, you can compare the fund's income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield includes the effect of Class A's current 4.75% sales charge.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Total return components include both dividend returns and capital returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the class. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the class to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class' share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if any, paid by the class are reinvested and exclude the effects of sales charges.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize these numbers, based on an average share price of $7.49 over the past one month, and $7.52 over the life of the class, you can compare the fund's income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield excludes the effect of Class C's contingent deferred sales charge.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Kevin Grant, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Investment Grade Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Kevin?

A. For the six months ending October 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 4.59%, 4.57%, 4.58% and 4.43%, respectively, while the Lipper Inc. intermediate investment grade debt funds average returned 4.25% and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index gained 5.90%. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares were up 4.31%, 4.29%, 4.30% and 4.14%, respectively, while the Lipper average and Lehman Brothers index returned 3.71% and 5.89%, respectively.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What drove fund performance?

A. Bonds rallied sharply in the face of historically weak equity markets, a sluggish economy and the steady drumbeat of negative headlines that marked the past six months. Interest rates across the yield curve plunged to levels not seen in decades, as skittish investors flocked to high-quality, low-risk government bonds such as Treasuries and agencies. Against a backdrop of falling rates, the fund turned in solid positive absolute returns. However, its relative performance was mixed. Despite outperforming its peers, the fund trailed the index, largely due to its underweighting in strong-performing government securities. Unfortunately, the yield advantage gained from emphasizing corporate bonds and mortgage securities was unable to overcome the sharp rally in Treasury prices during the period.

Q. What was your strategy with corporates?

A. It was a period marked by both unprecedented volatility and incredible opportunity in the corporate market. Despite heightened credit risk - fueled by a record number of rating agency downgrades, widespread company mismanagement concerns and corporate accounting issues - we still generated respectable returns in the sector. While the performance of our holdings lagged those of the index, they helped us surpass the Lipper peer average. Diversification and good credit analysis helped us sidestep several prominent corporate bond issuers that failed to maintain their investment-grade quality. That's not to say we escaped unscathed, however. We had some exposure to troubled securities - primarily within the telecommunications and utilities sectors - but they were generally smaller positions than those held by our average competitor. This positioning also helped reduce our risk exposure and limit our downside versus the index. We offset some of our losses by overweighting strong-performing real-estate issues and large, high-quality banks, which benefited from solid balance sheets, high quality of assets and scant credit problems. Adding to the fund's holdings in Yankee bonds - dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign entities - was a defensive strategy that also helped. Another key was my decision to selectively trim the fund's corporate weighting during the spring as market conditions deteriorated. In hindsight, I wish I had sold more corporates, considering that even the best names eventually faltered.

Q. How about the fund's positioning in mortgages?

A. The fund benefited from my focus on high-quality mortgage securities that were trading at very attractive yield-spread levels relative to Treasuries. As mortgage rates continued to fall, homeowners grew hungry to refinance, and mortgage bankers became more efficient and aggressive in helping them do so. As such, I focused on securities that were less susceptible to being prepaid, including newly issued current-coupon mortgages in the 5.5%-6% range and commercial mortgage-backed securities. At the same time, I avoided bonds trading at a premium - or above par - which were the most vulnerable to prepayment. Increased volatility and prepayments are negatives for bondholders, given that future cash flows may have to be reinvested at potentially lower interest rates. Avoiding premium bonds worked, as the market experienced another wave of mortgage refinancing and mortgage security prepayment during the summer, when refinancing activity hit new highs.

Semiannual Report

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Interest rates are currently very low, but they could go lower. The good news for bondholders is that Treasuries now represent an even smaller share - around 20% - of the investment-grade universe, while the rest of the market arguably has become less correlated in recent years with the general level of interest rates. So, even if the economy improves and Treasury yields rise moderately - and their prices were to fall - the other sectors still could produce decent returns. Of course, if rates rise significantly in response to a strong economic recovery, I'd have to re-evaluate the fund's positioning.

Kevin Grant on his near-term investment approach:

"Corporate bonds are now very cheap and are priced in anticipation of a double-dip recession. While I've added some exposure to the sector of late, I've done so prudently. I still maintain only a modest overweighting in the sector because I want to remain flexible enough to take advantage of opportunities whenever and wherever they arise in the market. The challenge for me going forward will be to continue to find the best corporate names at the best prices, while maintaining broad diversification.

"At period end, I felt that the mortgage market offered the best risk/reward profile of any investment-grade sector. After dramatically underperforming Treasuries in recent months, mortgages have become pretty cheap. I think of the mortgage market today as two markets: the old one, which is rapidly getting paid off; and the new one that is replacing it with very low coupon bonds. Long-term interest rates are already at historically low levels, and these mortgages are so low in coupon that it would require rates to fall even further for them to have prepayments, which is unlikely. So, the new market is actually quite different, and probably quite a bit safer. That said, I may look to increase the fund's stake in mortgages going forward."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

For the period ended October 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity® Investment Grade Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Board of Trustees approved adding Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares to the fund.

The fund offers Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (the original class), Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares on August 27, 2002. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash

Repurchase Agreements - continued

balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ a trading strategy known as mortgage dollar rolls, which involves the sale by the fund of mortgage securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Proceeds of the sale are reinvested in other securities and may enhance the fund's current yield and total return. The difference between the sales price and the future repurchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may

arise from changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty to whom a fund sells the security files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase the security may be restricted.

3. Joint Trading Account.

At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. The investments in repurchase agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services.

The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,650,622 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Semiannual Report

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

8. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund's operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $70,875.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $2,615. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Fidelity Advisor Investment Grade Bond Fund - Institutional Class

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on August 27, 2002. Returns prior to August 27, 2002 are those of Investment Grade Bond Fund, the original retail class of the fund. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or 10 years. For example, if you 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 return to the performance of the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Inc. and grouped by similar objectives. The benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize these numbers, based on an average share price of $7.49 over the past one month, and $7.52 over the life of the class, you can compare the fund's income over these two periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Kevin Grant, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Investment Grade Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Kevin?

A. For the six months ending October 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 4.63%, while the Lipper Inc. intermediate investment grade debt funds average returned 4.25% and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index gained 5.90%. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares were up 4.34%, while the Lipper average and Lehman Brothers index returned 3.71% and 5.89%, respectively.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What drove fund performance?

A. Bonds rallied sharply in the face of historically weak equity markets, a sluggish economy and the steady drumbeat of negative headlines that marked the past six months. Interest rates across the yield curve plunged to levels not seen in decades, as skittish investors flocked to high-quality, low-risk government bonds such as Treasuries and agencies. Against a backdrop of falling rates, the fund turned in solid positive absolute returns. However, its relative performance was mixed. Despite outperforming its peers, the fund trailed the index, largely due to its underweighting in strong-performing government securities. Unfortunately, the yield advantage gained from emphasizing corporate bonds and mortgage securities was unable to overcome the sharp rally in Treasury prices during the period.

Q. What was your strategy with corporates?

A. It was a period marked by both unprecedented volatility and incredible opportunity in the corporate market. Despite heightened credit risk - fueled by a record number of rating agency downgrades, widespread company mismanagement concerns and corporate accounting issues - we still generated respectable returns in the sector. While the performance of our holdings lagged those of the index, they helped us surpass the Lipper peer average. Diversification and good credit analysis helped us sidestep several prominent corporate bond issuers that failed to maintain their investment-grade quality. That's not to say we escaped unscathed, however. We had some exposure to troubled securities - primarily within the telecommunications and utilities sectors - but they were generally smaller positions than those held by our average competitor. This positioning also helped reduce our risk exposure and limit our downside versus the index. We offset some of our losses by overweighting strong-performing real-estate issues and large, high-quality banks, which benefited from solid balance sheets, high quality of assets and scant credit problems. Adding to the fund's holdings in Yankee bonds - dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign entities - was a defensive strategy that also helped. Another key was my decision to selectively trim the fund's corporate weighting during the spring as market conditions deteriorated. In hindsight, I wish I had sold more corporates, considering that even the best names eventually faltered.

Q. How about the fund's positioning in mortgages?

A. The fund benefited from my focus on high-quality mortgage securities that were trading at very attractive yield-spread levels relative to Treasuries. As mortgage rates continued to fall, homeowners grew hungry to refinance, and mortgage bankers became more efficient and aggressive in helping them do so. As such, I focused on securities that were less susceptible to being prepaid, including newly issued current-coupon mortgages in the 5.5%-6% range and commercial mortgage-backed securities. At the same time, I avoided bonds trading at a premium - or above par - which were the most vulnerable to prepayment. Increased volatility and prepayments are negatives for bondholders, given that future cash flows may have to be reinvested at potentially lower interest rates. Avoiding premium bonds worked, as the market experienced another wave of mortgage refinancing and mortgage security prepayment during the summer, when refinancing activity hit new highs.

Semiannual Report

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Interest rates are currently very low, but they could go lower. The good news for bondholders is that Treasuries now represent an even smaller share - around 20% - of the investment-grade universe, while the rest of the market arguably has become less correlated in recent years with the general level of interest rates. So, even if the economy improves and Treasury yields rise moderately - and their prices were to fall - the other sectors still could produce decent returns. Of course, if rates rise significantly in response to a strong economic recovery, I'd have to re-evaluate the fund's positioning.

Kevin Grant on his near-term investment approach:

"Corporate bonds are now very cheap and are priced in anticipation of a double-dip recession. While I've added some exposure to the sector of late, I've done so prudently. I still maintain only a modest overweighting in the sector because I want to remain flexible enough to take advantage of opportunities whenever and wherever they arise in the market. The challenge for me going forward will be to continue to find the best corporate names at the best prices, while maintaining broad diversification.

"At period end, I felt that the mortgage market offered the best risk/reward profile of any investment-grade sector. After dramatically underperforming Treasuries in recent months, mortgages have become pretty cheap. I think of the mortgage market today as two markets: the old one, which is rapidly getting paid off; and the new one that is replacing it with very low coupon bonds. Long-term interest rates are already at historically low levels, and these mortgages are so low in coupon that it would require rates to fall even further for them to have prepayments, which is unlikely. So, the new market is actually quite different, and probably quite a bit safer. That said, I may look to increase the fund's stake in mortgages going forward."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates.

Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflects expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

F Effective May 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. Per share data, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity® Investment Grade Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Board of Trustees approved adding Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares to the fund.

The fund offers Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (the original class), Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares on August 27, 2002. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash

Repurchase Agreements - continued

balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ a trading strategy known as mortgage dollar rolls, which involves the sale by the fund of mortgage securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Proceeds of the sale are reinvested in other securities and may enhance the fund's current yield and total return. The difference between the sales price and the future repurchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may

arise from changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty to whom a fund sells the security files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase the security may be restricted.

3. Joint Trading Account.

At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. The investments in repurchase agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,650,622 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Semiannual Report

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

8. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund's operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $70,875.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $2,615. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. 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 Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Inc. and grouped by similar objectives. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Average annual total returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the result.)

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Total return components include both dividend returns and capital returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the fund. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if any, paid by the fund are reinvested.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $7.49 over the past one month, $7.43 over the past six months and $7.39 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Kevin Grant, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Kevin?

A. For the six months ending October 31, 2002, Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund returned 4.93%, while the Lipper Inc. intermediate investment grade debt funds average returned 4.25% and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index gained 5.90%. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2002, Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund was up 4.64%, while the Lipper average and Lehman Brothers index returned 3.71% and 5.89%, respectively.

Q. What drove fund performance?

A. Bonds rallied sharply in the face of historically weak equity markets, a sluggish economy and the steady drumbeat of negative headlines that marked the past six months. Interest rates across the yield curve plunged to levels not seen in decades, as skittish investors flocked to high-quality, low-risk government bonds such as Treasuries and agencies. Against a backdrop of falling rates, the fund turned in solid positive absolute returns. However, its relative performance was mixed. Despite outperforming its peers, the fund trailed the index, largely due to its underweighting in strong-performing government securities. Unfortunately, the yield advantage gained from emphasizing corporate bonds and mortgage securities was unable to overcome the sharp rally in Treasury prices during the period.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What was your strategy with corporates?

A. It was a period marked by both unprecedented volatility and incredible opportunity in the corporate market. Despite heightened credit risk - fueled by a record number of rating agency downgrades, widespread company mismanagement concerns and corporate accounting issues - we still generated respectable returns in the sector. While the performance of our holdings lagged those of the index, they helped us surpass the Lipper peer average. Diversification and good credit analysis helped us sidestep several prominent corporate bond issuers that failed to maintain their investment-grade quality. That's not to say we escaped unscathed, however. We had some exposure to troubled securities - primarily within the telecommunications and utilities sectors - but they were generally smaller positions than those held by our average competitor. This positioning also helped reduce our risk exposure and limit our downside versus the index. We offset some of our losses by overweighting strong-performing real-estate issues and large, high-quality banks, which benefited from solid balance sheets, high quality of assets and scant credit problems. Adding to the fund's holdings in Yankee bonds - dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign entities - was a defensive strategy that also helped. Another key was my decision to selectively trim the fund's corporate weighting during the spring as market conditions deteriorated. In hindsight, I wish I had sold more corporates, considering that even the best names eventually faltered.

Q. How about the fund's positioning in mortgages?

A. The fund benefited from my focus on high-quality mortgage securities that were trading at very attractive yield-spread levels relative to Treasuries. As mortgage rates continued to fall, homeowners grew hungry to refinance, and mortgage bankers became more efficient and aggressive in helping them do so. As such, I focused on securities that were less susceptible to being prepaid, including newly issued current-coupon mortgages in the 5.5%-6% range and commercial mortgage-backed securities. At the same time, I avoided bonds trading at a premium - or above par - which were the most vulnerable to prepayment. Increased volatility and prepayments are negatives for bondholders, given that future cash flows may have to be reinvested at potentially lower interest rates. Avoiding premium bonds worked, as the market experienced another wave of mortgage refinancing and mortgage security prepayment during the summer, when refinancing activity hit new highs.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Interest rates are currently very low, but they could go lower. The good news for bondholders is that Treasuries now represent an even smaller share - around 20% - of the investment-grade universe, while the rest of the market arguably has become less correlated in recent years with the general level of interest rates. So, even if the economy improves and Treasury yields rise moderately - and their prices were to fall - the other sectors still could produce decent returns. Of course, if rates rise significantly in response to a strong economic recovery, I'd have to re-evaluate the fund's positioning.

Kevin Grant on his near-term investment approach:

"Corporate bonds are now very cheap and are priced in anticipation of a double-dip recession. While I've added some exposure to the sector of late, I've done so prudently. I still maintain only a modest overweighting in the sector because I want to remain flexible enough to take advantage of opportunities whenever and wherever they arise in the market. The challenge for me going forward will be to continue to find the best corporate names at the best prices, while maintaining broad diversification.

"At period end, I felt that the mortgage market offered the best risk/reward profile of any investment-grade sector. After dramatically underperforming Treasuries in recent months, mortgages have become pretty cheap. I think of the mortgage market today as two markets: the old one, which is rapidly getting paid off; and the new one that is replacing it with very low coupon bonds. Long-term interest rates are already at historically low levels, and these mortgages are so low in coupon that it would require rates to fall even further for them to have prepayments, which is unlikely. So, the new market is actually quite different, and probably quite a bit safer. That said, I may look to increase the fund's stake in mortgages going forward."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity® Investment Grade Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Board of Trustees approved adding Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares to the fund.

The fund offers Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund (the original class), Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares on August 27, 2002. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash

Repurchase Agreements - continued

balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ a trading strategy known as mortgage dollar rolls, which involves the sale by the fund of mortgage securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Proceeds of the sale are reinvested in other securities and may enhance the fund's current yield and total return. The difference between the sales price and the future repurchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may

arise from changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty to whom a fund sells the security files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase the security may be restricted.

3. Joint Trading Account.

At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. The investments in repurchase agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,650,622 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Semiannual Report

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

8. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Fidelity Investment Grade Bond Fund's operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $70,875.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $2,615. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. 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 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. 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. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Inc. and grouped by similar objectives. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Average annual total returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the result.)

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Total return components include both dividend returns and capital returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the fund. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if any, paid by the fund are reinvested.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period, and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $7.18 over the past one month, $7.47 over the past six months and $7.77 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. Dividends per share for the past one year include additional non-recurring distributions required by federal tax regulations. These distributions may not be reflected in future monthly dividends. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula based on the yields of the securities in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

After a solid first quarter of this year, the high-yield debt market struggled greatly during the six-month period ending October 31, 2002, as the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield bond performance - declined 11.95%. The yield spread between high-yield bonds and Treasury bonds widened from 660 to 996 basis points during the period, as investors grew increasingly risk averse. The three largest sectors of the high-yield market - telecommunications, cable and electric utilities, respectively - were the primary detractors, pulled down by overcapacity, weak earnings and corporate accounting scandals. If one were to exclude the telecom and cable sectors from the index, the yield spread would have been in the mid-600s. In a telling sign, no significant sector posted a healthy return. Year-to-date through September 2002, approximately $115 billion of investment-grade debt was downgraded to non-investment grade and entered the high-yield market. Within the index, the average bond price ended the period at 80% of its value, down from 87% last spring. On a more optimistic note, the Moody's trailing 12-month default rate was 10.4% as of April 2002 before declining to 9.5% at the end of October.

An interview with Frederick Hoff, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity High Income Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Fred?

A. Though the fund lost value in a difficult market, it handily outperformed its benchmark and peer funds. For the six months that ended October 31, 2002, the fund declined 6.20%, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index fell 11.95%, and the Lipper Inc. high current yield funds average declined 9.50%. For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2002, the fund lost 0.59%, while the Merrill Lynch index declined 6.53% and the Lipper average dropped 4.95%.

Q. Why did the fund outperform its benchmarks?

A. The fund benefited from a decision last year to emphasize securities backed by strong financial positions. Throughout the period, the economy performed sluggishly. With corporate earnings faltering, more and more businesses defaulted on debt payments. In this volatile environment, raising the fund's average credit quality proved to be a sound move. In addition, strong bond selection helped fund performance, especially in the telecommunications and utility sectors.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. How did you manage the fund during the past six months?

A. As I suggested, my general approach was to keep a close eye on credit quality. With the market and economic environment so unpredictable, I wanted the fund to be positioned to do solidly in down markets, while also benefiting if high-yield bonds were suddenly to take off. I looked for companies with solid assets and improving free cash flows. Further, I emphasized companies that do not need to raise capital in the public markets in the near term. I also took advantage of market volatility by purchasing several investment-grade bonds at attractive prices.

Q. Which of your investments contributed the most to the fund's returns?

A. Bonds issued by Nextel Communications, a wireless communications company, did extremely well. The company demonstrated improving earnings and stronger cash flow, and it strengthened its balance sheet by issuing stock to reduce debt. Troubled conglomerate Tyco International also helped. Tyco's bonds were boosted by the mid-year sale of its CIT Group unit and the arrival of a new management team. Phelps Dodge, a copper mining company, also helped the fund. Like Nextel, Phelps Dodge benefited when the company sold stock to reduce debt, thus improving its balance sheet.

Q. Did any of the fund's holdings fall short of your expectations?

A. Yes, starting with our investments in cable companies Adelphia and Charter Communications. Adelphia bonds were hammered after firm executives allegedly misappropriated billions of dollars in company funds. The extent of the fraud was greater than I anticipated, and the fund's remaining position in Adelphia greatly hurt performance. Adelphia's troubles caused other cable companies, such as Charter, to fall in sympathy. Charter also was hurt by weaker-than-expected earnings and declining liquidity. Pathmark, a supermarket company, also dragged down performance after it issued a disappointing earnings report.

Q. What's your outlook, Fred?

A. I'm optimistic about the high-yield market's potential. The performance gap between high-yield and Treasury securities is now at a near-record level, indicating that high-yield bonds may now be available at a substantial discount. If the economy continues to improve, as expected, conditions may be favorable for high-yield investments. Of course, if we find ourselves at war soon, or if we slip into a "double-dip" recession, a recovery for the high-yield market could be delayed. While we don't know which scenario will take place next year, we are hopeful that our bottom-up approach to selecting securities will help us adapt to a variety of potential market conditions.

Fred Hoff discusses the
utility industry:

"In recent months, the fund was underweighted in utility bonds. This decision helped fund performance, as the industry experienced a number of problems since Enron declared bankruptcy late in 2001. Many companies, especially independent power producers, found it difficult to obtain the capital they needed to operate, and investors worried about mounting debt loads.

"I believe the climate has started to improve for many utilities, so I have started to increase the fund's weighting in the sector - especially in old-school, regulated power companies. Many of these companies attempted unsuccessfully to branch off into new unregulated business lines. Now some of these firms are getting back to basics by selling assets and exiting unprofitable businesses. Currently, I feel these types of companies provide the best current potential in the utility market because they could offer attractive income and fewer near-term risks.

"As the period progressed, I believed that prices for utility bonds were properly reflecting the sector's risks - a situation that was not the case earlier in the year. This led me to increase my exposure to low-volatility electric utilities, such as Southern California Edison, the fund's fifth largest position as of October 31, 2002."

F Effective May 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. Per share data, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees . A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Semiannual Report

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to defaulted bonds, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 73,986

|

Unrealized depreciation

(170,993)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ (97,007)

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 1,595,775

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. Redemptions on or prior to October 18, 2002 of shares held less than 270 days were subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00 % of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

2. Operating Policies - continued

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .16% of average net assets.

Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Semiannual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $993 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $15 for the period.

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five year and the past 10 year total returns would have been lower. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. 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 Lehman Brothers® 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index - an unmanaged market value-weighted index of government and investment-grade corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and three years. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Inc. and grouped by similar objectives. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Average annual total returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the result.)

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $8.86 over the past one month, $8.82 over the past six months and $8.81 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Andrew Dudley, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Andy?

A. For the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, the fund had a total return of 3.59%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the return for the short investment grade debt funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc. was 2.43%. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index returned 3.91%. For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2002, the fund returned 4.19%, while the Lipper average returned 2.63% and the Lehman Brothers index gained 4.91%.

Q. What helped the fund beat its peers during the six-month period?

A. Much of the fund's outperformance stemmed from my choices in the corporate bond market. Early in the period, I kept the fund's corporate holdings diversified among a variety of issuers across an array of industry groups. That diversification helped ensure that the fund's return wasn't overly dependent on the performance of one or two securities or a specific industry group. While diversification is always important, it was particularly beneficial when the market came under pressure. More recently, the ability of Fidelity's credit research group to identify attractive bargains amid all the weakness was definitely a plus. The corporate bond market was very weak during the summer, affording us the opportunity to buy bonds we felt offered a good risk/return profile at cheap prices and to build more concentrated positions in them. When the market later rebounded - due in part to the passing of the Securities and Exchange Commission's corporate disclosure and affirmation deadline without major new disclosures - many of those purchases - particularly in the media, telecommunications and cable industries - performed quite well.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What other factors worked in the fund's favor?

A. The fund's stake in asset-backed securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) also helped the fund's performance. Strong demand helped lift the prices of ABS - which are backed by assets such as car loans and credit cards and are structured in a way that enhances the safety of the securities - as investors sought safe haven from corporate debt woes and problems related to a slowing economy. CMBS - which are backed by pools of commercial property mortgages - also posted good gains as investors increasingly sought out investments with visible assets and good revenue streams, as well as those with relatively high credit quality and high yields. In addition, the fund's performance was aided by my decision to stick with the higher-quality securities within both the ABS and CMBS markets. Lower-quality securities generally didn't perform as well, due to weak economic conditions and concerns about the performance of the specific assets that backed the securities.

Q. What was your approach to the Treasury market - a key component of the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Bond Index?

A. I kept the fund's weighting in Treasuries relatively light compared to their weighting in the Lehman Brothers Index. That underweighting stemmed from my view that higher-yielding securities - such as corporate, mortgage and agency securities - offered the better potential for total return. The Treasury market strengthened amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty, surprising many analysts who expected it to retrench in response to an improving economy. Despite their recent strong showing, I continued to keep only a small exposure to Treasuries given my view that they don't offer a lot of value because current low levels of interest rates limit their potential for future gains.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. As challenging as the corporate bond market has been, I believe it - compared to the Treasury market - offers a good combination of attractive prices, high yields and potential for better total return. But I also expect volatility to continue until the economy gets on a sturdier path toward growth. So I'll continue to draw heavily on Fidelity's research and focus on finding specific bonds that I feel offer a good combination of risk and reward.

Andrew Dudley on the attractiveness of investment-grade corporate bonds:

"Anemic economic growth, accounting scandals and geopolitical uncertainty have resulted in a significant decline in investors' appetite for risk so far in 2002. That aversion to risk has touched nearly every type of investment, except U.S. Treasuries, which have minimal credit risk, given their backing by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Corporate bonds certainly weren't spared by the volatile economic landscape. Investors demanded growing and, ultimately, unusually large amounts of extra yield on corporate bonds. That higher yield relative to Treasuries - known as the ´spread' - meant that investors wanted more yield to take on credit risk. At the end of October 2002, investment-grade corporate bonds yielded roughly 2.5 percentage points more than Treasuries, the biggest spread we've seen since 1992. In my view, lower prices and wide spreads suggest that selected corporate bonds are poised to outpace Treasuries. The challenge will be to choose wisely. I believe it's exactly that type of environment where Fidelity's credit research process is rewarded."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (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 compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as

Deferred Trustee Compensation - continued

though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, capital loss carryforwards, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales transactions and excise tax regulations.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Semiannual Report

2. Operating Policies - continued

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption Futures Contracts. This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Swaps. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rates, credit or market risk. A swap is an agreement to exchange one payment stream for another, for a set period of time. Payments are based on a notional principal amount and are settled periodically on a net basis.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

2. Operating Policies - continued

Swaps - continued

Interest rate swaps usually involve the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. The net receivable or payable is accrued daily and is included in interest income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Gains or losses are realized only upon early termination of the swap agreement. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates will adversely impact the fund.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .11% of average net assets.

Semiannual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,091 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

6. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody and transfer agent expenses by $25 and $1, respectively.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

While the third quarter of 2002 was the worst quarter for stocks in 15 years, investors seemed to set aside concerns about the economy and war with Iraq during October, giving stocks their best month since November 2001. Year to date, however, investment-grade bonds had a decided edge, particularly U.S. Treasuries, an often-used shelter from inclement equity markets.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at cumulative total returns, average annual returns, or the growth of a hypothetical investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. 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 Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of U.S. Government and government agency securities (other than mortgage securities) with maturities of one year or more. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Inc. and grouped by similar objectives. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. When you sell your shares, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.21 over the past one month, $10.98 over the past six months and $10.82 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses the yield would have been 3.68%.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds sparkled during the six-month period that ended October 31, 2002, as the economic recovery slowed and the prospects for a continued favorable interest rate environment firmed. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for taxable-bond performance, returned 5.90%, well ahead of flagging stock markets that in many cases suffered double-digit declines. Negative sentiment toward equities - due to heightened concerns about corporate governance, terrorism and geopolitical unrest - boosted demand for bonds, as risk-averse investors sought out safer havens offering some return on their assets. A strong flight to quality in Treasuries and high-quality, higher-yielding government agency securities resulted, as reflected in the stellar performance of the Lehman Brothers Treasury and U.S. Agency indexes, which registered gains of 8.32% and 7.28%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index posted a distant third-place finish, returning 4.81%. While corporates benefited from some economic improvement, eroding investor confidence in the sector, along with widespread credit-quality downgrades and the resulting liquidity crisis, curbed their advances. The Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index brought up the rear, returning 4.66%. While enjoying lower volatility and reduced prepayment risk for much of the period, mortgage securities retreated during the summer, as record-low interest rates triggered another massive refinancing wave.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Government Income Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the six months ending October 31, 2002, the fund returned 7.77%, while the general U.S. government funds average returned 6.29%, according to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index returned 7.93%. For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2002, the fund returned 6.59%, while the Lipper average returned 5.09% and the Lehman Brothers index gained 6.41%.

Q. What helped the fund outperform its peer group during the past six months?

A. My decision to increase the fund's stake in Treasury securities and simultaneously decrease the fund's stake in mortgage securities early in the period definitely helped. Treasuries outpaced mortgages, which were haunted by the specter of rapidly accelerating prepayment activity. In mid-summer, mortgage securities came under heavy pressure when mortgage rates dropped below 6% and borrowers responded by refinancing in droves. Those refinancings, in turn, resulted in much-larger-than-expected waves of prepayments - meaning the repayment of bonds long before their expected maturity. Prepayments shortened the average life of high-coupon mortgage bonds and cut the yield investors had anticipated. That's why investors increasingly shunned mortgage securities and their prices slumped as a result. In place of mortgage securities, I added more U.S. Treasuries, a decision that also helped performance.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Which prepayment-resistant securities did you favor?

A. One area of emphasis was collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), which often are less susceptible to interest rate swings as compared to a single bond investment because the securities are tied to loan pools with varying degrees of risk. Our research-driven process also helped identify prepayment-resistant securities as a function of geography, issuer or other factors. For instance, homeowners in some states or municipalities can be slower to prepay mortgages because of the types of taxes that are levied on them. Likewise, prepayment among mortgage originators - such as banks - can vary a great deal based on how aggressive they are in reaching out to homeowners to refinance.

Q. How did agency securities fare?

A. They generally performed well both on an absolute basis and compared to mortgage securities. With all the uncertainty and nervousness about the stock market, the economy and global politics, investors increasingly flocked to high-quality securities. Generally speaking, debt securities issued by government agencies are considered to be of high quality because they have either the direct or implicit backing of the full faith and credit of the United States government. That was one reason for their success; declining issuance was another. Agency debt issuance fell 23 percent through the first nine months of this year. Although strong demand and reduced issuance worked in favor of agency securities, they still lagged their U.S. Treasury counterparts by a small margin.

Q. Were there any disappointments during the period?

A. My choices within the U.S. Treasury market detracted a bit from performance. Although the fund's Treasury holdings were spread over a variety of maturities, I kept an incrementally larger portion in longer-term Treasury bonds based on my view that they offered better value than short-term securities. But as interest rates and bond yields declined throughout the period, shorter-term Treasuries performed best.

Q. What's your outlook for government bonds in 2003?

A. I'm concerned that the ballooning federal budget deficit may put pressure on Treasury securities initially - and ultimately, the entire bond market - if the government issues significant amounts of new debt. Further, with interest rates at such low levels, it's difficult to imagine that bonds will continue to post the near-record returns of the past year. But I'm hopeful that investors will still look to the bond market as a way to diversify their portfolios, a trend that should bode well for the fixed-income market over the long term.

Tom Silvia on his outlook for U.S. Treasury bonds:

"U.S. Treasury bonds have been one of the best-performing U.S. investments this year, driven by economic, market and political uncertainty. Whether they can continue to perform as well in 2003 is a subject of some debate. With interest rates at such low current levels, it's hard to imagine that investors will be as enthusiastic about Treasuries next year as they have been this year. Low interest rates also put a cap on the amount of price appreciation that can be derived from interest rate cuts. Furthermore, the federal budget deficit has dramatically increased the amount the U.S. has had to borrow in the bond markets. These factors, plus the biggest jump in federal spending in 20 years, resulted in a $159 billion deficit in fiscal year 2002, which ended September 30. That has forced the government to increase its borrowing by issuing more Treasury debt. Officials predict that the government will remain in the red until at least 2005. I expect that the expanding supply of Treasuries eventually will weigh heavily on Treasury prices. That's why, as of the end of the period, I planned to continue to underweight Treasury securities and emphasize higher-yielding alternatives."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates.

Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflects expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund.

G Effective May 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. Per share data, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2002 (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Spartan Government Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital

accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Swaps. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rates, credit or market risk. A swap is an agreement to exchange one payment stream for another, for a set period of time. Payments are based on a notional principal amount and are settled periodically on a net basis.

2. Operating Policies - continued

Swaps - continued

Interest rate swaps usually involve the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. The net receivable or payable is accrued daily and is included in interest income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Gains or losses are realized only upon early termination of the swap agreement. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates will adversely impact the fund.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements".

Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ a trading strategy known as mortgage dollar rolls, which involves the sale by the fund of mortgage securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Proceeds of the sale are reinvested in other securities and may enhance the fund's current yield and total return. The difference between the sales price and the future repurchase price is recorded as an adjustment to interest income. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty to whom a fund sells the security files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase the security may be restricted.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee of .60% of the fund's average net assets. FMR pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest expense. The management fee paid to FMR by the fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested Trustees.

5. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

6. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

7. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded .50% of average net assets. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the fund's expenses by $487,568.

Through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's expenses by $4,988.

8. Other Information.

At the end of the period, one unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 22% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
