STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

December 21, 2003

The following information replaces the similar information found in the "Investment Policies and Limitations" section on page 4.

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

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

The following information replaces the similar information found in the "Investment Policies and Limitations" section on page 11.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock. Preferred stocks may include preferred convertible stock and pay-in-kind convertible preferred stock.

<R>The following information replaces the similar information found in the "Buying, Selling, and Exchanging Information" section on page 18.</R>

<R>Combined Purchase. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Combined Purchase program, they must be made on the same day through one intermediary.</R>

<R>Rights of Accumulation. The current value of your holdings is determined at the NAV at the close of business on the day prior to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares. The current value of your holdings will be added to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program. For your purchases and holdings to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program, they must have been made through one intermediary.</R>

<R>Letter of Intent. You must file your Letter of Intent (Letter) with Fidelity within 90 days of the start of your purchases toward completing your Letter. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter, they must be made through one intermediary. Your initial purchase toward completing your Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Class A and Class T shares acquired through an employee benefit plan, a Traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, a rollover IRA, a 403(b) program, or a plan covering a sole proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan) will be included for purposes of completing your Letter but may not be used to meet the initial investment minimum of 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Fidelity will register Class A or Class T shares equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter in your name and will hold those shares in escrow. You will earn income, dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed Class A and Class T shares. The escrow will be released when you complete your Letter. You are not obligated to complete your Letter. If you do not complete your Letter, you must pay the increased front-end sales charges due. If you do not pay the increased front-end sales charges within 20 days after the date your Letter expires, Fidelity will redeem sufficient escrowed Class A or Class T shares to pay any applicable front-end sales charges. If you purchase more than the amount specified in your Letter and qualify for additional Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reductions, the front-end sales charge will be adjusted to reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months and the surplus amount will be applied to your purchase of additional Class A or Class T shares at the then-current offering price applicable to the total investment.</R>
