Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 1,901,080

 

Unrealized depreciation

(809,483)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 1,091,597

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 12,401,751

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,609,329 and $8,830,787, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $14 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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

8. Security Lending - continued

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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $8,929.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $3,101 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $3. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

10. Other - continued

experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $9, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 1,901,080

 

Unrealized depreciation

(809,483)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 1,091,597

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 12,401,751

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,609,329 and $8,830,787, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of

each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $14 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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

Semiannual Report

8. Security Lending - continued

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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $8,929.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $3,101 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $3. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

10. Other - continued

experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $9, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

The realized and unrealized gains were allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

applicability of taxes imposed by the country on realized capital gains under the US/India tax treaty. The ruling entitled the Fund to a refund of capital gains taxes paid in prior years and exempts the Fund from taxes on future realized gains. The per-share and total return impacts are disclosed on the Financial Highlights. The India Central Board of Direct Taxation may challenge the ruling at any time which could result in the reversal of some or all of the benefits recorded by the Fund.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 74,565,548

 

Unrealized depreciation

(13,376,876)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 61,188,672

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 268,412,521

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

Semiannual Report

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $152,145,811 and $169,726,931, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period,

The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $331 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the

Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $232.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $160,764 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $1,423. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

13. Merger Information.

On December 7, 2007, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund ("Target Fund") pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Target Fund shareholders on November 14, 2007. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of 1,036,440; 234,931; 293,838; 365,248, and 131,266 shares of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class of the Fund, respectively, for 1,446,656; 331,148; 420,027; 517,942, and 182,483 shares then outstanding of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class (valued at $22.45, $21.85, $20.78, $20.87, and $22.95, per share for Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class, respectively) of the Target Fund. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized by the Funds or their shareholders. The Target Fund's net assets, including $10,759,371 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $334,365,132 for total net assets after the acquisition of $397,806,387.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

A Annualized B Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. C Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown. D Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. E Fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds. F Amount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds. G Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class. H The portfolio turnover rate does not include the assets acquired in the merger. I Amount represents less than $.01 per share. J In 2004 the Fund received a favorable ruling in India which entitles the Fund to a refund of capital gains taxes paid in the current and prior years. The impact to the Fund was an increase in realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share of $.51. Excluding this benefit, the total return would have been 4.41%. The realized and unrealized gains were allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

applicability of taxes imposed by the country on realized capital gains under the US/India tax treaty. The ruling entitled the Fund to a refund of capital gains taxes paid in prior years and exempts the Fund from taxes on future realized gains. The per-share and total return impacts are disclosed on the Financial Highlights. The India Central Board of Direct Taxation may challenge the ruling at any time which could result in the reversal of some or all of the benefits recorded by the Fund.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 74,565,548

 

Unrealized depreciation

(13,376,876)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 61,188,672

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 268,412,521

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

Semiannual Report

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $152,145,811 and $169,726,931, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period,

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $331 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the

Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $232.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $160,764 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $1,423. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

13. Merger Information.

On December 7, 2007, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund ("Target Fund") pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Target Fund shareholders on November 14, 2007. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of 1,036,440; 234,931; 293,838; 365,248, and 131,266 shares of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class of the Fund, respectively, for 1,446,656; 331,148; 420,027; 517,942, and 182,483 shares then outstanding of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class (valued at $22.45, $21.85, $20.78, $20.87, and $22.95, per share for Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class, respectively) of the Target Fund. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized by the Funds or their shareholders. The Target Fund's net assets, including $10,759,371 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $334,365,132 for total net assets after the acquisition of $397,806,387.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B,Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 147,879,839

 

Unrealized depreciation

(24,648,437)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 123,231,402

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 499,866,697

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $242,882,742 and $117,804,147, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .81% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $512 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $37,925.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $139,492 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $11. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $3, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Semiannual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B,Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 147,879,839

 

Unrealized depreciation

(24,648,437)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 123,231,402

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 499,866,697

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $242,882,742 and $117,804,147, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .55% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .81% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $512 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $37,925.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $139,492 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $11. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $3, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

10. Other - continued

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 6,018,370

 

Unrealized depreciation

(2,433,699)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 3,584,671

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 58,379,498

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Semiannual Report

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $35,446,306 and $46,254,806, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $2 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $67 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $7,481.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $15,450 for the period.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $108, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

H Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $.08 per share. Excluding the special dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been .43%.

I Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

J Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 6,018,370

 

Unrealized depreciation

(2,433,699)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 3,584,671

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 58,379,498

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Semiannual Report

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $35,446,306 and $46,254,806, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $2 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $67 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $7,481.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $15,450 for the period.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $108, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Global Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships, certain foreign taxes and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 4,129,829

Unrealized depreciation

(1,419,029)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 2,710,800

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 35,298,441

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in

segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $62,995,166 and $64,345,322, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease.

In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance period began on July 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in June, 2008.

For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $171 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $41 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

8. Security Lending - continued

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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $8,906.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $24,688 for the period.

10. Other.

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

Semiannual Report

10. Other - continued

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $2,363, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Global Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships, certain foreign taxes and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 4,129,829

Unrealized depreciation

(1,419,029)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 2,710,800

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 35,298,441

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in

segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $62,995,166 and $64,345,322, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease.

In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance period began on July 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in June, 2008.

For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $171 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $41 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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

8. Security Lending - continued

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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $8,906.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $24,688 for the period.

10. Other.

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

Semiannual Report

10. Other - continued

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $2,363, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 24,177,510

 

Unrealized depreciation

(8,328,797)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 15,848,713

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 305,384,960

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund generally uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to manage the Fund's currency exposure. Contracts to sell generally are used to hedge the Fund's investments against currency fluctuations, while contracts to buy generally are used to offset a previous contract to sell. Also, a contract to buy can be used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and a contract to sell can be used to offset a previous contract to buy. Losses may arise from changes in the value of foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) recognized on the date of offset: otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on settlement date.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $786,525,395 and $814,747,106, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance period began on August 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in July, 2008. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $484 for the period.

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 funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $338 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Semiannual Report

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $114,786.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $350,812 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $4,891. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

Semiannual Report

10. Other - continued

may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $1,302, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 24,177,510

 

Unrealized depreciation

(8,328,797)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 15,848,713

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 305,384,960

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund generally uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to manage the Fund's currency exposure. Contracts to sell generally are used to hedge the Fund's investments against currency fluctuations, while contracts to buy generally are used to offset a previous contract to sell. Also, a contract to buy can be used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and a contract to sell can be used to offset a previous contract to buy. Losses may arise from changes in the value of foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) recognized on the date of offset: otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on settlement date.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $786,525,395 and $814,747,106, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance period began on August 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in July, 2008. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $484 for the period.

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 funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $338 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Semiannual Report

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $114,786.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $350,812 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $4,891. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

10. Other - continued

may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $1,302, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 5,603,859

 

Unrealized depreciation

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ (9,325)

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 71,964,902

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Semiannual Report

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $27,529,384 and $42,863,415, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance period began on October 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in September 2008. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Semiannual Report

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $80 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $6,982.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $7,219 for the period.

10. Other.

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

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 5,603,859

 

Unrealized depreciation

(5,613,184)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ (9,325)

$ 71,964,902

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Semiannual Report

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $27,529,384 and $42,863,415, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance period began on October 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in September 2008. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges

depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Semiannual Report

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $80 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $6,982.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $7,219 for the period.

10. Other.

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

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies(PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 135,364,750

 

Unrealized depreciation

(5,376,393)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 129,988,357

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 208,448,087

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by

Semiannual Report

4. Operating Policies - continued

Repurchase Agreements - continued

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

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $86,127,913 and $45,058,930, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $76 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $271 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

8. Security Lending - continued

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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $25,301.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $15,590 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $1,412. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below:

 

Transfer Agent

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and

Semiannual Report

10. Other - continued

business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $16, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies(PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 135,364,750

 

Unrealized depreciation

(5,376,393)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 129,988,357

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 208,448,087

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by

Semiannual Report

4. Operating Policies - continued

Repurchase Agreements - continued

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

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $86,127,913 and $45,058,930, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .71% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $76 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $271 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

8. Security Lending - continued

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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $25,301.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $15,590 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $1,412. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below:

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and

Semiannual Report

10. Other - continued

business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $16, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 249,151

 

Unrealized depreciation

(63,929)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 185,222

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 1,391,981

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $566,264 and $501,887, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .69% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $572.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $175 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $2. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 34% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $22, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Semiannual Report

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

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 249,151

 

Unrealized depreciation

(63,929)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 185,222

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 1,391,981

 

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $566,264 and $501,887, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .69% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $572.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $175 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $2. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

Semiannual Report

that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 34% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $22, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to

ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $46,057,465 and $49,993,584, respectively.

The Fund realized a gain on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the Fund.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee and Expense Contract. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance adjustment began on June 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in May 2008. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,557 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $125 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Semiannual Report

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $16,721.

9. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $19 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $1,965, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

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

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

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

Semiannual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

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

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 14,636,304

 

Unrealized depreciation

(15,360,103)

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ (723,799)

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 121,163,880

 

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

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to

Repurchase Agreements - continued

ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $46,057,465 and $49,993,584, respectively.

The Fund realized a gain on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the Fund.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee and Expense Contract. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±20% of the Fund's average net assets over the performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the relative investment performance of the Institutional Class of the Fund as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The Fund's performance adjustment began on June 1, 2007 and subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. The Fund's performance adjustment will take effect in May 2008. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

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

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,557 for the period.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $125 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Semiannual Report

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $19 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

10. Other.

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

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.

In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $1,965, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.
