Special Purchase Shares. Certain Class A and Class T shares may be subject to a CDSC of 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of the shares at the date of purchase or the value of the shares at the time of redemption. These shares, referred to in this prospectus as "Special Purchase Shares," are Class A and Class T shares sold by investment professionals who receive a finder's fee from FDC equal to 0.25% of their purchase amount. Finder's fees are paid only in connection with purchases of: (i) Class A shares in amounts of $1 million or more that qualify for a Class A load waiver; (ii) Class A shares in amounts of $25 million or more; and (iii) Class T shares in amounts of $1 million or more. Finder's fees are not paid in connection with purchases of Class A or Class T shares by insurance company separate accounts.

The CDSC will be assessed on Special Purchase Shares if they do not remain in Class A or Class T shares of the Fidelity Advisor funds, or Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund, for a period of at least one uninterrupted year. Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will not be subject to a CDSC.

To determine the applicability of the CDSC, Class A, Class T, or Daily Money Class shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by Special Purchase Shares that have been held for the longest period of time. Special Purchase Shares held for less than one year will be redeemed last.

To qualify to receive a finder's fee, an investment professional must notify Fidelity in advance of the eligible purchase.

The CDSC on Special Purchase Shares will not apply to the redemption of shares:

1.Acquired by insurance company separate accounts prior to April 1, 2001;

2. For plan loans or distributions or exchanges to non-Advisor fund investment options from employee benefit plans (except shares of SIMPLE IRA, SEP, and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans) purchased on or after February 11, 1999) and 403(b) programs; or

3. For disability, payment of death benefits, or minimum required distributions starting at age 70 1/2 from Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SEPs, SARSEPs, and plans covering a sole-proprietor or self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans).

To qualify for a Special Purchase Share CDSC waiver, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your redemption.
