President's Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d.)

Dear Shareholder:

Hoping to ward off the possible start of a recession, the Federal Reserve Board implemented two 0.50% interest rate reductions in January 2001. These actions boosted stocks - at least for the first month of the year - as most bellwether U.S. equity indexes posted gains. The rate cuts also reinvigorated high-yield bonds, an asset class that struggled in 2000, but which was one of the strongest performers in early 2001.

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

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can increase your diversification further by investing in a number of different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

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

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

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value).

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Russell 3000® Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of U.S. domiciled value-oriented stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the equity income funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 242 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created additional comparison categories that group funds according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization, as well as by capitalization only. The averages are listed on page 5 of this report.*

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

Annual Report

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Equity-Income Fund on January 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $47,113 - a 371.13% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell 3000 Value Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $47,298 - a 372.98% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

* The Lipper equity income funds average reflects the performance (excluding sales charges) of mutual funds with similar portfolio characteristics and capitalization. As of January 31, 2001, the one year, five year, and 10 year cumulative total returns for the equity income funds average were, 11.92%, 81.03%, and 279.40%, respectively; and the one year, five year, and 10 year average annual total returns were, 11.92%, 12.49%, and 14.10%, respectively.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

The equity market environment changed drastically during the 12 months that ended January 31, 2001. At the period's onset, enthusiasm for technology stocks was at unprecedented levels, the economy was growing at a robust pace and there were growing concerns about inflation that caused the Federal Reserve Board to increase key interest rates on three occasions early in the period. However, that economic optimism was erased quickly in the latter half of the period for many reasons, most notably, the technology sector suffering through a correction due to slowdowns in various industries. Several leading companies in other areas - such as retail, telecommunications and automobiles - downsized their earnings expectations. Additionally, energy prices for both gas and oil reached historically high levels, which weakened corporate profits and altered consumer spending patterns. As a result, the Fed removed its hawkish stance on inflation and switched its bias toward easing rates - which it did twice in January - in an attempt to boost the slowing economy. For the period, the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index was down 29.50%, while the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, a benchmark of 500 larger companies, fell 0.90%. Faring slightly better, blue-chip industrial stocks, as represented by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, rose 1.08%, and the Russell 2000® Index, a benchmark of smaller companies, returned 3.69%.

An interview with Steve Petersen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Equity-Income Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Steve?

A. The fund performed well during a very challenging year for equities. For the 12-month period ending January 31, 2001, the fund returned 14.93%, compared to the 12.24% return of the Russell 3000 Value Index and the 11.65% return of the equity income funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc.

Q. What accounted for the fund's good performance relative to its benchmark and peer group?

A. The single most important factor was the performance of technology stocks. Throughout the year, the fund was underweighted in technology relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index and many peer funds. In the early part of the year, tech stocks did well and the fund struggled. However, after the tech-heavy NASDAQ index peaked in March and began its long slide, the fund's lower concentration of technology stocks helped buffer it from the extreme volatility and negative performance of that sector. On the down side, the fund was underweighted in utility stocks, which, other than the telecommunications segment, had a great year as investors sought their relative safety.

Q. What strategy did you pursue during the year?

A. I generally followed my long-term strategy of searching for solid, attractively valued companies that deliver strong dividend yields. This strategy paid off. After several years of a market dominated by growth stocks, the economic tide turned and value stocks had their day. Many of our holdings benefited from this improving environment. The fund's sector weightings remained relatively constant throughout the year, although I slightly increased our holdings in larger-capitalization, dividend-paying technology companies later in the period. As technology stocks began to perform poorly, their valuations looked more attractive. I believed that there were some good long-term opportunities in this area, because technology has demonstrated faster earnings growth than other sectors. When I found stocks that looked cheap, I added them very selectively.

Q. Which stocks contributed to the fund's return?

A. The fund's financial holdings, representing the largest sector weighting in the portfolio, generally performed well. While they didn't really take off until late in the year - when the market reacted to a slowing economy and anticipated lower interest rates - these stocks still had a positive impact on the fund's return. Citigroup, the fund's largest holding, performed well, resulting from its subsidiary Salomon Smith Barney's strong revenues and lower anticipated interest rates. After a tough year, fund holding Fannie Mae came back strong. A Congressional committee attempting to discontinue the U.S. government's implied guarantee of Fannie Mae's debt finally resolved the issue, leaving the government's line of credit intact. Growing expectations for lower interest rates late in the year also fueled the performance of Fannie Mae and many other financial stocks during the fourth quarter. Bank of New York's stock also did well. The company's successful custody business helped its revenue growth and overall performance.

Q. What about disappointments?

A. Unisys, which operates a large services and consulting business, didn't do as well as expected. The company's clients, who spent aggressively to deal with Y2K-related problems, cut back on their spending once the much-hyped crisis was over, and Unisys' business slowed and its earnings dropped. AT&T experienced lower earnings growth and, along with its competitors, was hurt by slowing business applications for telecommunications and data transmission resulting from overcapacity. I sold a portion of this stock from the portfolio. WorldCom, a competitor of AT&T's, was hurt by the dramatic decline in pricing for consumer and long distance services. Chase Manhattan (now J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.) has a large portfolio of investments in private and start-up companies, as well as an internal venture capital operation. It rode the technology boom of 1997-1999 but was subsequently hit with lower earnings when that boom ended last year.

Q. What's your outlook, Steve?

A. I'm a bit more optimistic than I've been in the recent past. Although it's becoming increasingly clear that the economy has slowed - which should hurt corporate earnings in 2001 - the good news is that the Federal Reserve Board will be more likely to cut interest rates aggressively. In addition, the new Bush administration brings with it a push for major tax cuts as part of its overall policy package, which could help to stimulate the economy. From my perspective, these signs point to potential good news for value investing.

Stephen Petersen on the potential effects of a slowing economy on the fund:

"Now that it's become an accepted fact that the economy is slowing, the climate for value investing is a much more positive one. Over the past several years, value investing has meant buying ´old economy' stocks - more traditional, cyclical, mature industries - and bypassing high-growth, technology-related and high-priced companies. With the strong performers in the latter group until recently, the market had anticipated weakening conditions for the old economy side of the market, and their stock prices came down accordingly, making them attractively valued. Now, the Federal Reserve Board's stated intention to actively intervene to shore up the economy - combined with the Bush administration's proposed tax cuts - has the potential to positively affect the economy and these stocks.

"The fund's emphasis on dividend-paying stocks - at the end of the period, financial stocks made up approximately 26% of the portfolio and utilities another 10% or so - makes it a potentially strong beneficiary if interest rates continue to decline. With the Fed's two rate cuts in January and possibly more reductions on the horizon, this could mean good news for value investors. Although credit quality could deteriorate somewhat in a slowing economy, the market appears to be looking past that and anticipating more good news than bad."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Equity-Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Devonshire 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, as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes to

Income Taxes - continued

the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments which are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or transactions with respect to foreign securities. The fund accrues such taxes as applicable. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

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

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, market discount, contingent interest, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Foreign Currency Contracts. The fund generally uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.

Indexed Securities. The fund may invest in indexed securities whose values are linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, or other underlying instruments. The fund uses these securities 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 is permitted to 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

Restricted Securities - continued

sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted securities (excluding 144A issues).

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund is permitted to invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. At the end of the period, the value of these investments amounted to $5,349,000 or 0.0% of net assets.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $5,257,131,000 and $6,797,194,000, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .20%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .48% of average net assets.

Sub-Adviser Fee. FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) serves as sub-adviser for the fund. FMRC is an affiliate of FMR and receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR with respect to that portion of the fund's assets that will be managed by FMRC.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.

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

Fidelity Cash Central Funds - continued

fund may invest in the Fidelity Cash Central Fund and the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the accompanying financial statements.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $471,000 for the period.

5. Interfund Lending Program.

The fund participated in the interfund lending program as a borrower. The average daily loan balance during the period for which loans were outstanding amounted to $31,307,000 The weighted average interest rate was 6.00%. Interest expense includes $251,000 paid under the interfund lending program. At period end there were no interfund loans outstanding.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities loaned amounted to $98,858,000. The fund received cash collateral of $103,690,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.

7. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which loans were outstanding amounted to $29,682,000. The weighted average interest rate was 6.09%. Interest expense includes $85,000 paid under the bank borrowing program. At period end there were no bank borrowings outstanding.

8. Expense Reductions.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $2,041,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $3,000 and $2,213,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

9. Transactions with Affiliated Companies.

An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

President's Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d.)

Dear Shareholder:

Hoping to ward off the possible start of a recession, the Federal Reserve Board implemented two 0.50% interest rate reductions in January 2001. These actions boosted stocks - at least for the first month of the year - as most bellwether U.S. equity indexes posted gains. The rate cuts also reinvigorated high-yield bonds, an asset class that struggled in 2000, but which was one of the strongest performers in early 2001.

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

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can increase your diversification further by investing in a number of different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

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

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

Best regards,

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value).

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of publicly traded real estate securities such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate operating companies (REOCs) - and the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500SM  Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the real estate funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 154 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

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

Annual Report

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio on January 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $33,933 - a 239.33% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how both the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index and Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment in the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index would have grown to $27,087 - a 170.87% increase. If $10,000 was invested in the S&P 500 Index, it would have grown to $49,606 - a 396.06% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

The equity market environment changed drastically during the 12 months that ended January 31, 2001. At the period's onset, enthusiasm for technology stocks was at unprecedented levels, the economy was growing at a robust pace and there were growing concerns about inflation that caused the Federal Reserve Board to increase key interest rates on three occasions early in the period. However, that economic optimism was erased quickly in the latter half of the period for many reasons, most notably, the technology sector suffering through a correction due to slowdowns in various industries. Several leading companies in other areas - such as retail, telecommunications and automobiles - downsized their earnings expectations. Additionally, energy prices for both gas and oil reached historically high levels, which weakened corporate profits and altered consumer spending patterns. As a result, the Fed removed its hawkish stance on inflation and switched its bias toward easing rates - which it did twice in January - in an attempt to boost the slowing economy. For the period, the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index was down 29.50%, while the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, a benchmark of 500 larger companies, fell 0.90%. Faring slightly better, blue-chip industrial stocks, as represented by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, rose 1.08%, and the Russell 2000® Index, a benchmark of smaller companies, returned 3.69%.

(Portfolio Manager photograph)
An interview with Steve Buller, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Steve?

A. Very well on both an absolute and relative basis. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2001, the fund returned 32.37%. In comparison, the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index returned 31.47%. During the same period, the real estate funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 27.71%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -0.90%.

Q. What helped the fund outperform the Wilshire index during the past 12 months?

A. The fund benefited most from favorable stock selection. Specifically, having our favorite securities - the fund's top-five largest holdings - finish the period among the top-six performing stocks provided a nice boost to the fund's overall return. Compared to the fund's Wilshire benchmark, our stock selection within the diversified real estate investment trust (REIT) industry and among local retail REITs was superior. Despite being underweighted in these sectors, our combined holdings outperformed those in the index by roughly 23 percentage points. Many of our diversified REITs benefited from having exposure to both the strong-performing office and apartment sectors. Being heavily overweighted in office REITs also proved helpful, as this industry delivered the highest returns in the sector. Rising demand for office space, fueled by incredible business growth - particularly in coastal cities and Silicon Valley - drove rental rates and revenues higher. Additionally, not owning some real estate securities held by the index that significantly underperformed, and being underexposed to others that slumped, such as Trizec Hahn and JDN Realty, enhanced the fund's relative return.

Q. Why did real estate securities perform so well compared to most other major equity market indexes last year?

A. After a few years of being neglected, these securities, which were very cheap at the beginning of the period compared to historical valuations, benefited significantly from renewed interest by investors, many of whom were seeking more-defensive investments after the correction in technology during the spring. These investors were attracted to the favorable valuations, strong earnings growth and lower volatility that real estate securities offered relative to other equities. Within the real estate sector, beneficial market conditions, such as strong demand and a supply component that was kept in check by the capital markets, also drove performance, as did high occupancy levels and steady rental growth.

Q. Did you employ any strategies that didn't work out?

A. I underweighted hotel securities, expecting a slowdown in consumer spending given the increasing weakness in the economy as the period progressed. That decision turned out to be a drag on performance, as a greater number of people than I had expected traveled throughout the year. Given the economic weakness the country experienced in the latter part of the period, the booming hotel industry baffled me.

Q. What holdings stood out as the fund's top performers? Which disappointed?

A. The fund's largest position in the hotel sector - Starwood Hotels & Resorts - was its top contributor, benefiting from robust consumer spending on travel and a strong revenue-per-available-room ratio. Equity Office Properties, an office property REIT, had another good period as demand for office space in major business districts remained strong. In terms of disappointments, Pinnacle Holdings, a communications tower REIT, was hurt by a Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry into its accounting practices and the independence of its auditors. Golf Trust of America suffered from poor execution of its plan to liquidate several golf courses. Both Pinnacle and Golf Trust were sold off entirely during the period.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The underlying fundamentals in the real estate sector remain decent. There isn't an oversupply of commercial or residential space in the marketplace, and default rates remain relatively low. Additionally, due to the contractual nature of the REIT business, which provides a steady stream of revenue and cash flow, any slowdown tends to lag the broader market. I'm cautiously optimistic that real estate securities, despite their price appreciation during the past year, are still attractively valued relative to their underlying real estate value and other areas of the market. However, should domestic economic growth remain at a standstill for a prolonged period of time, causing more businesses to either downsize or disappear entirely, the resulting higher default rates could hamper returns in this sector.

Steve Buller on the supply-and-demand equilibrium in the real estate market:

"Real estate supply is a critical factor in the performance of real estate securities. An oversupply can be devastating to the real estate market, and has even led to an economic downturn. As we entered an economic slowdown at the end of the period, the supply of real estate on the market had, for the most part, met the current demand, with the exception of selected individual markets where some property types faced difficulty. But in general terms, domestic real estate supply has been in equilibrium with demand during the recent economic slowdown.

"This equilibrium exists for a few reasons. The real estate market doesn't have a huge bubble of development projects that will be ready for occupancy in the next six to 12 months, unlike previous real estate market down cycles that involved a lot of speculative commercial construction. Most development projects today get off the ground only with the benefit of a large preleasing component. In addition, lenders today are requiring higher debt-to-equity ratios in most projects, reducing the probability of loan defaults. Further, there's a tremendous amount of public information on real estate available today that wasn't available 10-15 years ago. Much of that ´open architecture' has been driven by the shift in the pricing of equity and debt capital from primarily the banking sector to the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) public market."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Devonshire 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, as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted

securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

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

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Foreign Currency Contracts. The fund generally uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.

2. Operating Policies -
continued

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

Restricted Securities. The fund is permitted to 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. At the end of the period, the value of restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $11,760,000 or 1.1% of net assets.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $647,708,000 and $561,214,000, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .58% of average net assets.

Sub-Adviser Fee. FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) serves as sub-adviser for the fund. FMRC is an affiliate of FMR and receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR with respect to that portion of the fund's assets that will be managed by FMRC.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and

Transfer Agent Fees - continued

type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .23% of average net assets.

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

Fidelity Cash Central Fund. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in the Fidelity Cash Central Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income and does not pay a management fee. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly

from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $116,000 for the period.

5. Expense Reductions.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $296,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $2,000 and $28,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

6. Transactions with
Affiliated Companies.

An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

Annual Report

President's Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d.)

Dear Shareholder:

Hoping to ward off the possible start of a recession, the Federal Reserve Board implemented two 0.50% interest rate reductions in January 2001. These actions boosted stocks - at least for the first month of the year - as most bellwether U.S. equity indexes posted gains. The rate cuts also reinvigorated high-yield bonds, an asset class that struggled in 2000, but which was one of the strongest performers in early 2001.

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

First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.

Second, you can further manage your investing risk through diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can increase your diversification further by investing in a number of different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

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

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

Best regards,

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value).

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500SM  Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Russell 3000® Utilities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index comprised of over 200 utility stocks that are included in the Russell 3000 Index. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the utility funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 94 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

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

Annual Report

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Utilities Fund on January 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by January 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $39,258 - a 292.58% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Russell 3000 Utilities Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 in the S&P 500 Index would have grown to $49,606 - a 396.06% increase. If $10,000 was put in the Russell 3000 Utilities Index, it would have grown to $36,237 - a 262.37% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

The equity market environment changed drastically during the 12 months that ended January 31, 2001. At the period's onset, enthusiasm for technology stocks was at unprecedented levels, the economy was growing at a robust pace and there were growing concerns about inflation that caused the Federal Reserve Board to increase key interest rates on three occasions early in the period. However, that economic optimism was erased quickly in the latter half of the period for many reasons, most notably, the technology sector suffering through a correction due to slowdowns in various industries. Several leading companies in other areas - such as retail, telecommunications and automobiles - downsized their earnings expectations. Additionally, energy prices for both gas and oil reached historically high levels, which weakened corporate profits and altered consumer spending patterns. As a result, the Fed removed its hawkish stance on inflation and switched its bias toward easing rates - which it did twice in January - in an attempt to boost the slowing economy. For the period, the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index was down 29.50%, while the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, a benchmark of 500 larger companies, fell 0.90%. Faring slightly better, blue-chip industrial stocks, as represented by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, rose 1.08%, and the Russell 2000® Index, a benchmark of smaller companies, returned 3.69%.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

(Portfolio Manager photograph)
Note to shareholders:
Tim Cohen became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Utilities Fund on September 28, 2000.

Q. How did the fund perform, Tim?

A. For the 12 months that ended January 31, 2001, the fund had a total return of -16.21%. By comparison, the Russell 3000 Utilities Index returned -16.64% during the same period, while the utility funds average monitored by Lipper Inc. returned 2.55%.

Q. Why did the fund underperform the Lipper peer group by such a wide margin?

A. My primary emphasis is on finding high-quality growth stocks in the utilities sector. The telecommunications industry has been growing by approximately 10% annually worldwide, more than double the annual growth of the U.S. economy. My focus on growth therefore has led me to invest a substantial portion of the fund's assets in telecommunications stocks. My predecessor on this fund had a similar philosophy. Unfortunately, 2000 was a year in which telecommunications, technology and other growth sectors fell out of favor. A slowing economy prompted investors to rotate assets into defensive and value-oriented stocks for the dependable earnings growth and modest valuations they offered. One category that investors favored for defensive purposes was electric utilities, which make up a much larger portion of the average fund in the Lipper peer group than I typically hold in this fund. Over a complete market cycle, including both significant periods of advancing stock prices and corrections, I believe that the fund should benefit from the emphasis on growth, but that was certainly not true during the past 12 months.

Q. What adjustments did you make since taking over the fund at the end of September?

A. The adjustments I made were incremental - the fund's composition has not changed substantially since I took over. Nevertheless, I reduced the weighting of wireless hardware and services providers because of the increasingly competitive environment in those markets. In addition, I moved money out of competitive local exchange carriers and emerging long-distance network companies, as funding for their expansion plans dried up because of deteriorating earnings outlooks. Areas where I increased exposure were regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) and beaten-down traditional long-distance service companies, both of which I thought would benefit from investors' emphasis on steady earnings growth and reasonable valuations.

Q. Which stocks helped the fund's performance?

A. Calpine, Dynegy and AES all are independent power producers that made positive contributions to performance. These companies were able to profit from shortages of power-generating capacity in this country and from deregulation abroad. The blackouts and related difficulties recently making news in California indicate the extent of the shortages in some areas of the U.S. I took profits on Calpine after its incredible run during the past two years. Another stock that performed well was Kinder Morgan, a natural gas play. Natural gas prices roughly tripled during the period, surging in December as the northeastern U.S. experienced colder-than-normal temperatures. Some of the RBOCs also showed up on our list of best-performing holdings after being shunned by investors for most of 2000. US West, for example, rallied in response to the company's takeover by Qwest Communications. Verizon Communications and SBC Communications appealed to investors because of their relatively steady earnings growth.

Q. Which stocks failed to perform up to your expectations?

A. Long-distance service providers such as AT&T and WorldCom continued to suffer from intense pricing competition and shrinking shares in the high-growth data and Internet markets. Wireless providers also underperformed, as the explosive growth in subscribers was tempered by increased competition during the period. Wireless service providers Nextel and Sprint PCS and handset manufacturer Nokia struggled as a result. The portfolio no longer holds Nextel and Sprint PCS.

Q. What's your outlook, Tim?

A. Presently, the telecommunications industry faces the challenge of working through the excesses created when funding for telecom projects was readily available and an overabundance of companies went public. The current slower-growth environment exacerbated the effects of this oversupply. On the bright side, the Federal Reserve Board's recent reductions in short-term interest rates indicate that it is serious about trying to stabilize the economy and prevent a recession. Furthermore, the long-term growth prospects for the telecommunications industry remain strong and should continue to provide plenty of attractive investment opportunities for quite some time, both in the U.S. and around the world.

Tim Cohen on the effects of lower interest rates on the telecommunications industry:

"There has been a lot of discussion about how the Federal Reserve Board's aggressive lowering of interest rates will affect the stock market. Lower rates have historically boosted share prices, but they are especially beneficial where telecommunications services stocks are concerned. That's because telecom services companies can grow primarily in two ways - by buying other companies or by adding to their own infrastructure. Both of these choices involve substantial amounts of financing. As a result, the stocks of these companies are sensitive to movements in interest rates, which directly affect the cost of their capital.

"Responding to two rate cuts in January, many emerging telecom names rallied sharply, with some of the weakest stocks experiencing the strongest moves. This type of rally can be deceptive, however, for interest rates are only one determinant of stock prices. In the long run, success or failure will depend on the viability of a company's business plan and the quality of its products and services, not on the level of interest rates. I am committed to investing in the highest-quality companies in the industry - those with the ability to compete effectively in a variety of interest-rate environments."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended January 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Utilities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Devonshire 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, as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

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

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Foreign Currency Contracts. The fund generally uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of

the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

Restricted Securities. The fund is permitted to 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. At the end of the period, the value of restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $36,000 or 0.0% of net assets.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $3,292,655,000 and $3,687,105,000, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .20%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.15% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the appropriate index over a

specified period of time. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .59% of average net assets after the performance adjustment.

Sub-Adviser Fee. FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) serves as sub-adviser for the fund. FMRC is an affiliate of FMR and receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR with respect to that portion of the fund's assets that will be managed by FMRC.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .17% of average net assets.

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

Fidelity Cash Central Funds. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund may invest in the Fidelity Cash Central Fund and the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the accompanying financial statements.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $17,000 for the period.

5. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience delays and costs in

6. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which loans were outstanding amounted to $2,190,000. The weighted average interest rate was 6.15%. At period end there were no bank borrowings outstanding.

7. Expense Reductions.

FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $490,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $8,000 and $65,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
