President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

After turning in subpar performances for most of 2001, equity markets rallied in October and November as signs of improvements in the U.S. economy and a potential federal government fiscal stimulus package gave many investors reason for optimism. The good news for stocks had the opposite effect on bonds. Many investment-grade bonds experienced steep price corrections in November in anticipation of a sharper-than-expected return to economic growth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Best regards,

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 $100,000 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). You can also look at the fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

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 Lehman Brothers® 1-5 Year U.S. Government Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of government fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and five years. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the short-intermediate U.S. government 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 89 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

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

$100,000 Over 10 Years



$100,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $100,000 was invested in Fidelity® Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Fund on November 30, 1991. As the chart shows, by November 30, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $185,703 - an 85.70% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year U.S. Government Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $100,000 would have grown to $189,670 - an 89.67% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. 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.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.54 over the past one month, $9.45 over the past six months and $9.38 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

The new millennium has been kind to investors in investment-grade bonds, which have performed consistently well since early 2000. It was more of the same for the 12 months ending November 30, 2001. In that time, investment-grade bonds benefited from a wave of interest rate cuts - 10 in all - by the Federal Reserve Board. A harsh economic climate, geopolitical unrest and double-digit stock market declines also drove investors to bonds, which typically outperform equities in this environment. And perform they did, advancing 11.16% during the past year according to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy of the overall taxable-bond market. Corporate bonds, which offered better yields than Treasuries, were highest on the performance ladder, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index climbed 13.32% during the past 12 months. Treasuries had an up and down year, benefiting from a flight to safety after the tragic events of September 11, but losing significant ground in November as investors began to anticipate an economic recovery. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 9.85% for the year. Agency securities also outperformed Treasuries, as seen by the 11.46% return of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Meanwhile, despite a rash of prepayments sparked by heightened refinancing activity, the mortgage bond market was up 10.38%, according to the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index.

An interview with Andrew Dudley, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Andy?

A. For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 2001, the fund returned 9.96%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the return for the short-intermediate U.S. government funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc. was 9.26%. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year U.S. Government Bond Index returned 10.40%.

Q. What factors drove the fund's performance during the period?

A. Short- and intermediate-term securities performed quite well throughout most of the period, propelled by rapidly declining interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board has cut rates on 10 separate occasions through the end of November for a total of 4.5 percentage points. The early cuts were aimed at reviving a sluggish economy. The three most recent cuts - which took place after the events of September 11 - were designed to stabilize the global financial markets and prevent a recession from deepening. As rates and bond yields declined, short-term securities posted the largest percentage gains, followed by intermediate- and long-term bonds. That's because short-maturity and, to a lesser extent, intermediate-term bonds, are more closely tied to Fed actions than longer-term securities. In November 2001, when investors began to anticipate that the economy was on the mend and that the Fed might be at or near the end of its campaign to lower rates, bond yields generally moved higher and bond prices fell across all maturities.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What were your principal strategies throughout the year?

A. I continued to emphasize securities that offered a yield advantage over Treasury securities. At the end of the period, agency issues accounted for about 52% of the fund's net assets and mortgage securities accounted for approximately 21% of net assets. In contrast, Treasuries accounted for roughly 21% of net assets, compared to an approximately 60% weighting in the benchmark Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year U.S. Government Bond Index. Some of the fund's outperformance of its Lipper peer group average stemmed from its comparatively large weighting in agency securities. These investments performed very well thanks to a combination of falling interest rates, their relatively low valuations when I purchased them and a more favorable political backdrop as various government proposals designed to alter the nature of the relationship between some agencies and the government faded from view.

Q. How did the fund's stake in mortgage securities affect performance?

A. My choice of mortgage securities also helped performance. The mortgage market had to contend with several waves of refinancing activity as falling interest rates spurred record numbers of borrowers to refinance their home loans. Investors typically dislike rapid prepayment activity because it potentially forces them to reinvest the proceeds at lower prevailing interest rates. I emphasized mortgage securities that had some measure of protection against prepayments, and they performed relatively well. These included 15-year mortgage securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Q. Were there any disappointments?

A. Yes, there was a minor disappointment. Throughout much of the past year, I kept a larger weighting than the market overall in the longer-maturity securities within the short-intermediate universe - meaning those with maturities of more than four years - which offered attractive yields relative to shorter-term securities. Even though these four-year-and-beyond securities posted strong gains, they just didn't keep pace with shorter-term securities as interest rates declined.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Despite evidence that the economy continues to weaken, bonds recently have priced in a relatively strong economic rebound in 2002. I believe that significant economic recovery would likely spell the end of this cycle of interest rate cuts. Whether or not that will be the case remains to be seen. But if the economy does improve and if interest rates stabilize or rise, I believe agency and mortgage securities could perform relatively well.

Andrew Dudley on the suspension of auctions of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds:

"The 30-year Treasury bond, also known as the ´long bond,' has been a steady feature of U.S. fixed-income markets since it was first regularly issued in the 1970s. Since then, it has become a proxy for interest rates and is the standard against which other fixed-income investments are measured. In late October, the U.S. Treasury surprised many with its announcement that it would suspend its future auctions of 30-year bonds. According to Treasury officials, the move would cut borrowing costs since the government currently pays higher rates for long-term bonds than for short-term notes and bills. Other observers pointed out that the Treasury - perhaps working with the blessing of the Federal Reserve Board - also might have been intent on bringing down stubbornly high long-term rates as a means of stimulating the economy. The market's immediate reaction was to push the prices of 30-year Treasuries significantly higher, anticipating a scarcity of the long bond in the months to come. Looking ahead, the suspension of the 30-year auction may mean that the spread - or the difference in yield - between Treasuries on the one side and agency and mortgage securities on the other side - will remain wider than historical norms, a reflection of the scarcity of Treasuries and an abundant supply of other types of bonds."

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

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended November 30, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. 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.

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, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

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.

Change in Accounting Principle. Effective December 1, 2001, the fund will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

2. Operating Policies.

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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

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

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee of .45% of the fund's average net assets. FMR pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the

Management Fee - continued

non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest expense. The management fee paid to FMR by the fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested Trustees.

5. Security Lending.

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

6. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's expenses by $20,891.

7. Other Information.

At the end of the period, one unaffiliated shareholder held 20% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series IV) at November 30, 2001, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Institutional Short-Intermediate Government Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2001 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
