Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Turmoil has been the watchword for the world's securities markets in 2008, with domestic and international stocks down sharply amid the global credit squeeze. A flight to quality boosted returns for U.S. Treasuries, one of the few asset classes with positive results heading into the latter stages of the year. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.

You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).

A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.

We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of Strategic Real Return's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. 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. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Strategic Real Return, a class of the fund, on September 7, 2005, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® U.S. TIPS Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Derek Young and Joanna Bewick, Lead Co-Managers of Fidelity® Strategic Real Return Fund

Investors' once-healthy appetite for risk ground to a virtual standstill during the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, as fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis permeated credit markets worldwide. In turn, as bond investors shunned risk, they moved into higher-quality debt instruments, particularly those with explicit or implicit government guarantees. The benchmark indexes for Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund's component asset classes reflected this trend. The Lehman Brothers® U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index rose 6.20% in response to rising inflation expectations and growing demand for high-quality debt. Meanwhile, as global economic growth began to slow, demand for commodities reversed course, sending the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Total Return - with exposure to a variety of commodities, including those related to energy - lower with a -3.66% result. Tighter credit continued to choke off demand for floating-rate bank debt, and the Standard & Poor's® (S&P®)/LSTA Leveraged Performing Loan Index returned -7.94%. Housing-related securities also remained hamstrung by risk-averse investors, with the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities IndexSM and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. Real Estate Corporate Bond Index posting disappointing marks of -12.86% and -4.86%, respectively.

During the 12-month span, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -3.73%, compared with a -2.28% return for the Fidelity Strategic Real Return Composite Index and a 6.20% gain for the Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS index. Although asset allocation among the fund's individual asset classes was a solid positive, the fund underperformed the Composite index mostly due to unproductive security selection in the commodity-linked notes and inflation-protected securities subportfolios. Each of these sleeves underperformed because of its small investment in the Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund - an internal pool of short-term assets that had exposure to weak subprime mortgage-related securities. Our exposure to Ultra-Short Central Fund was liquidated early last spring, and the proceeds were left in cash, which helped. Meanwhile, the fund's investment in floating-rate bank loans - primarily through Fidelity Floating Rate Central Fund - outperformed, mainly due to astute industry positioning, although its overweighting helped as well. In real estate, the worst-performing area of the Composite index, the equity-related subportfolio added value mainly due to its average underweighting, while the fixed-income sleeve outperformed, mostly from favorable security selection.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended September 30, 2008

1. Organization.

Fidelity Strategic Real Return 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Strategic Real Return 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. 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.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Certain of the Fund's securities may be valued by a single source or dealer. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Indexed securities are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from independent pricing services or dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

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.

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.

Foreign Currency - continued

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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 pm Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted 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 principal is not received until maturity. 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. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. 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 claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to swap agreements, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), income recognized on commodity-linked notes, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.

In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.

4. 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 which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Indexed Securities. The Fund may invest in indexed securities whose values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. These securities may be used to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment. Gains (losses) realized upon the sale of indexed securities are included in realized gains (losses) on investment securities.

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 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, including revolving credit facilities 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. The Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.

Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument or index for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a fund will make a payment to the counterparty.

Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. 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 Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities(including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,655,057,791 and $1,360,419,297, respectively.

6. 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 that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% 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 annual management fee rate was .57% 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 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges 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, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR, was the transfer agent for Strategic Real Return. For the period, each class paid the following transfer agent fees:

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 were $5,978 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $9,949 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. 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 $2,965 for the period. 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 $23,158. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

9. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

12. Credit Risk

The Fund invests a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers backed by residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on structured securities have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of decreased market activity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.

Annual Report

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the period presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund as of September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for the period presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund

Each year, typically in June, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.

At its June 2008 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc., and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Annual Report

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board further considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Management Fees - continued

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's Institutional Money Market Funds and launching Class IV and Institutional Class of certain of these funds; (iii) reducing the transfer agent fees for the Fidelity Select Portfolios and Investor Class of the VIP funds; and (iv) launching Class K of 29 equity funds as a lower-fee class available to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds. Because the fund had been in existence less than three calendar years, the following chart considered by the Board shows, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2007, the total returns of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) and Class C of the fund, the total return of a proprietary custom index ("benchmark"), and a range of total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Morningstar, Inc. as having an investment style similar to that of the fund based on underlying portfolio holdings. The returns of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) and Class C show the performance of the highest and lowest performing classes, respectively. The box within the chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below the chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated. The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's unmanaged indexes.

Annual Report

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund


fid3988

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) of the fund was in the third quartile for the period shown. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that peer group to be a particularly meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because, unlike most of its peers, the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among four investment categories. The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the period shown. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board stated that it is difficult to evaluate in any comprehensive fashion the performance of the fund, in light of its relatively recent commencement of operations.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 26% means that 74% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund


fid3990

The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2007.

Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class T, Institutional Class, and Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) ranked below its competitive median for 2007, and the total expenses of Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2007. The Board considered that the total expenses of Class C were above the median primarily due to higher transfer agent fees. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures; (vi) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (vii) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Turmoil has been the watchword for the world's securities markets in 2008, with domestic and international stocks down sharply amid the global credit squeeze. A flight to quality boosted returns for U.S. Treasuries, one of the few asset classes with positive results heading into the latter stages of the year. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.

You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).

A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.

We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual 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 any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. 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. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Strategic Real Return Fund - Class A on September 7, 2005, when the fund started, and the current 4.00% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® U.S. TIPS Index performed over the same period.

In prior years, the performance from year to year was represented by the performance of Class T. Going forward, the fund's performance will be represented by Class A for consistency with other fund materials.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Derek Young and Joanna Bewick, Lead Co-Managers of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Real Return Fund

Investors' once-healthy appetite for risk ground to a virtual standstill during the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, as fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis permeated credit markets worldwide. In turn, as bond investors shunned risk, they moved into higher-quality debt instruments, particularly those with explicit or implicit government guarantees. The benchmark indexes for Fidelity Advisor Strategic Real Return Fund's component asset classes reflected this trend. The Lehman Brothers® U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index rose 6.20% in response to rising inflation expectations and growing demand for high-quality debt. Meanwhile, as global economic growth began to slow, demand for commodities reversed course, sending the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Total Return - with exposure to a variety of commodities, including those related to energy - lower with a -3.66% result. Tighter credit continued to choke off demand for floating-rate bank debt, and the Standard & Poor's® (S&P®)/LSTA Leveraged Performing Loan Index returned -7.94%. Housing-related securities also remained hamstrung by risk-averse investors, with the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities IndexSM and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. Real Estate Corporate Bond Index posting disappointing marks of -12.86% and -4.86%, respectively.

During this 12-month period, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -3.96%, -4.12%, -4.63% and -4.77%, respectively (excluding sales charges), compared with a -2.28% return for the Fidelity Strategic Real Return Composite Index and a 6.20% gain for the Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS index. Although asset allocation among the fund's individual asset classes was a solid positive, the fund underperformed the Composite index mostly due to unproductive security selection in the commodity-linked notes and inflation-protected securities subportfolios. Each of these sleeves underperformed because of its small investment in the Fidelity® Ultra-Short Central Fund - an internal pool of short-term assets that had exposure to weak subprime mortgage-related securities. Our exposure to Ultra-Short Central Fund was liquidated early last spring, and the proceeds were left in cash, which helped. Meanwhile, the fund's investment in floating-rate bank loans - primarily through Fidelity Floating Rate Central Fund - outperformed, mainly due to astute industry positioning, although its overweighting helped as well. In real estate, the worst-performing area of the Composite index, the equity-related subportfolio added value mainly due to its average underweighting, while the fixed-income sleeve outperformed, mostly from favorable security selection.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended September 30, 2008

1. Organization.

Fidelity Strategic Real Return 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Strategic Real Return 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. 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.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Certain of the Fund's securities may be valued by a single source or dealer. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Indexed securities are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from independent pricing services or dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

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.

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.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 pm Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted 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 principal is not received until maturity. 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. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. 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 claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to swap agreements, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), income recognized on commodity-linked notes, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.

In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.

4. 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 which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

4. Operating Policies - continued

Indexed Securities. The Fund may invest in indexed securities whose values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. These securities may be used to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment. Gains (losses) realized upon the sale of indexed securities are included in realized gains (losses) on investment securities.

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 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, including revolving credit facilities 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. The Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.

Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument or index for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a fund will make a payment to the counterparty.

Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. 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 Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities(including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,655,057,791 and $1,360,419,297, respectively.

6. 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 that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% 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 annual management fee rate was .57% 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 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges 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, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR, was the transfer agent for Strategic Real Return. For the period, each class paid the following transfer agent fees:

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 were $5,978 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $9,949 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. 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 $2,965 for the period. 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 $23,158. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

9. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

12. Credit Risk

The Fund invests a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers backed by residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on structured securities have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of decreased market activity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the period presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund as of September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for the period presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund

Each year, typically in June, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.

At its June 2008 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc., and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Annual Report

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board further considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's Institutional Money Market Funds and launching Class IV and Institutional Class of certain of these funds; (iii) reducing the transfer agent fees for the Fidelity Select Portfolios and Investor Class of the VIP funds; and (iv) launching Class K of 29 equity funds as a lower-fee class available to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds. Because the fund had been in existence less than three calendar years, the following chart considered by the Board shows, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2007, the total returns of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) and Class C of the fund, the total return of a proprietary custom index ("benchmark"), and a range of total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Morningstar, Inc. as having an investment style similar to that of the fund based on underlying portfolio holdings. The returns of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) and Class C show the performance of the highest and lowest performing classes, respectively. The box within the chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below the chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated. The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's unmanaged indexes.

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) of the fund was in the third quartile for the period shown. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that peer group to be a particularly meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because, unlike most of its peers, the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among four investment categories. The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the period shown. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board stated that it is difficult to evaluate in any comprehensive fashion the performance of the fund, in light of its relatively recent commencement of operations.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Management Fees - continued

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 26% means that 74% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2007.

Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class T, Institutional Class, and Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) ranked below its competitive median for 2007, and the total expenses of Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2007. The Board considered that the total expenses of Class C were above the median primarily due to higher transfer agent fees. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures; (vi) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (vii) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Turmoil has been the watchword for the world's securities markets in 2008, with domestic and international stocks down sharply amid the global credit squeeze. A flight to quality boosted returns for U.S. Treasuries, one of the few asset classes with positive results heading into the latter stages of the year. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.

You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).

A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.

We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual 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 any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. 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. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Derek Young and Joanna Bewick, Lead Co-Managers of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Real Return Fund

Investors' once-healthy appetite for risk ground to a virtual standstill during the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, as fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis permeated credit markets worldwide. In turn, as bond investors shunned risk, they moved into higher-quality debt instruments, particularly those with explicit or implicit government guarantees. The benchmark indexes for Fidelity Advisor Strategic Real Return Fund's component asset classes reflected this trend. The Lehman Brothers® U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index rose 6.20% in response to rising inflation expectations and growing demand for high-quality debt. Meanwhile, as global economic growth began to slow, demand for commodities reversed course, sending the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Total Return - with exposure to a variety of commodities, including those related to energy - lower with a -3.66% result. Tighter credit continued to choke off demand for floating-rate bank debt, and the Standard & Poor's® (S&P®)/LSTA Leveraged Performing Loan Index returned -7.94%. Housing-related securities also remained hamstrung by risk-averse investors, with the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities IndexSM and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. Real Estate Corporate Bond Index posting disappointing marks of -12.86% and -4.86%, respectively.

During this 12-month period, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -3.96%, -4.12%, -4.63% and -4.77%, respectively (excluding sales charges), compared with a -2.28% return for the Fidelity Strategic Real Return Composite Index and a 6.20% gain for the Lehman Brothers U.S. TIPS index. Although asset allocation among the fund's individual asset classes was a solid positive, the fund underperformed the Composite index mostly due to unproductive security selection in the commodity-linked notes and inflation-protected securities subportfolios. Each of these sleeves underperformed because of its small investment in the Fidelity® Ultra-Short Central Fund - an internal pool of short-term assets that had exposure to weak subprime mortgage-related securities. Our exposure to Ultra-Short Central Fund was liquidated early last spring, and the proceeds were left in cash, which helped. Meanwhile, the fund's investment in floating-rate bank loans - primarily through Fidelity Floating Rate Central Fund - outperformed, mainly due to astute industry positioning, although its overweighting helped as well. In real estate, the worst-performing area of the Composite index, the equity-related subportfolio added value mainly due to its average underweighting, while the fixed-income sleeve outperformed, mostly from favorable security selection.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended September 30, 2008

1. Organization.

Fidelity Strategic Real Return 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Strategic Real Return 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. 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.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Certain of the Fund's securities may be valued by a single source or dealer. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Indexed securities are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on valuations from independent pricing services or dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

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.

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.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 pm Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted 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 principal is not received until maturity. 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. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. 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 claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to swap agreements, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), income recognized on commodity-linked notes, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.

In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.

4. 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 which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

4. Operating Policies - continued

Indexed Securities. The Fund may invest in indexed securities whose values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. These securities may be used to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment. Gains (losses) realized upon the sale of indexed securities are included in realized gains (losses) on investment securities.

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 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, including revolving credit facilities 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. The Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.

Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument or index for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a fund will make a payment to the counterparty.

Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. 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 Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities(including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,655,057,791 and $1,360,419,297, respectively.

6. 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 that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% 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 annual management fee rate was .57% 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 4.00% for selling Class A shares and Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges 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, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR, was the transfer agent for Strategic Real Return. For the period, each class paid the following transfer agent fees:

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 were $5,978 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $9,949 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. 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 $2,965 for the period. 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 $23,158. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

9. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

12. Credit Risk

The Fund invests a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers backed by residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables and automotive loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on structured securities have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of decreased market activity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.

Annual Report

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Fixed-Income Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the period presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund as of September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for the period presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund

Each year, typically in June, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.

At its June 2008 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc., and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Annual Report

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board further considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's Institutional Money Market Funds and launching Class IV and Institutional Class of certain of these funds; (iii) reducing the transfer agent fees for the Fidelity Select Portfolios and Investor Class of the VIP funds; and (iv) launching Class K of 29 equity funds as a lower-fee class available to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds. Because the fund had been in existence less than three calendar years, the following chart considered by the Board shows, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2007, the total returns of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) and Class C of the fund, the total return of a proprietary custom index ("benchmark"), and a range of total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Morningstar, Inc. as having an investment style similar to that of the fund based on underlying portfolio holdings. The returns of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) and Class C show the performance of the highest and lowest performing classes, respectively. The box within the chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below the chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated. The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's unmanaged indexes.

Annual Report

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund


fid4129

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) of the fund was in the third quartile for the period shown. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that peer group to be a particularly meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because, unlike most of its peers, the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among four investment categories. The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the period shown. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board stated that it is difficult to evaluate in any comprehensive fashion the performance of the fund, in light of its relatively recent commencement of operations.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 26% means that 74% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Strategic Real Return Fund


fid4131

The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2007.

Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class T, Institutional Class, and Fidelity Strategic Real Return (retail class) ranked below its competitive median for 2007, and the total expenses of Class C ranked above its competitive median for 2007. The Board considered that the total expenses of Class C were above the median primarily due to higher transfer agent fees. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Annual Report

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures; (vi) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (vii) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte Entities in its audit of the Fund, taking into account representations from Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, regarding its independence from the Fund and its related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Fidelity fund's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund ("Covered Service") are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.

All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.

Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X ("De Minimis Exception")

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Fund's last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Fund or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.
