Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

5 Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

  $10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Diversified International Fund — Class T on December 17, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Penelope Dobkin, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Diversified International Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12 months ending Octo-ber 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. European stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% . Although robust, returns for U.S. investors in foreign markets were tempered by the strength of the dollar versus many major currencies.

During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 20.50%, 20.16%, 19.35% and 19.51%, respectively, outpacing the MSCI EAFE index and the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 17.75% . Favorable stock selection in banks and diversified financials contributed the most to the fund’s return relative to the index, with holdings in Japanese and emerging-markets banks among the best performers. Stocks in such key markets as Germany, which enjoyed a resurgence in real estate values and in corporate restructuring after 15 years of economic stagnation, also provided a boost to returns, as did Canadian energy stocks, which benefited from healthy production growth. Canadian energy company EnCana was the top contributor versus the index, joined by the strong performance of Brazilian bank Unibanco and State Bank of India. Favorable currency movements in emerging markets such as India and Brazil enhanced our returns in the latter two stocks. By contrast, Brazilian paper company Votorantim Celulose lagged due to a lack of pricing power amid rising energy costs, while weak demand hurt Japanese consumer electronics companies Ricoh and Victor Company. An underweighting in the materials sector also hurt relative performance, as several of the period’s top gainers from this group were absent from the portfolio.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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.
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    1,287,906         
Unrealized depreciation        (186,136)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        1,101,770         
Undistributed ordinary income        160,691         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        315,179         
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    7,484,281         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    20,958    $    10,785 
Long-term Capital Gains        11,568         
Total    $    32,526    $    10,785

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $6,901,019 and $3,810,647, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee    Fee        FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $    5,086    $    34 
Class T    25%    .25%        9,835        436

Class C    75%    .25%        5,715        2,661 
 
            $    23,448    $    5,240 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    1,377 
Class T        223 
Class B*        360 
Class C*        19 
    $    1,979 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets

Class B        1,030    .37 
Class C        1,487    .26 
Institutional Class        3,071    .17 
 
    $    14,379     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $8,277 for the period.

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 $15 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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 $4,080 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.

        Transfer Agent 
        Expense Reduction 
Class A    $    6 
 
 
8. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Diversified International Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Diversified International Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

54


account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

55 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one-year period and the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of Institutional Class of the fund has compared favorably to its benchmark over time, although the fund’s one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups”

Annual Report

56


of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

57 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that each class’s total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2004.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s

Annual Report

58


engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSMEurope, Australia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Penelope Dobkin, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Diversified International Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12 months ending Octo-ber 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. European stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% . Although robust, returns for U.S. investors in foreign markets were tempered by the strength of the dollar versus many major currencies.

During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares were up 20.81%, outpacing the MSCI EAFE index and the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 17.75% . Favorable stock selection in banks and diversified financials contributed the most to the fund’s return relative to the index, with holdings in Japanese and emerging-markets banks among the best performers. Stocks in such key markets as Germany, which enjoyed a resurgence in real estate values and in corporate restructuring after 15 years of economic stagnation, also provided a boost to returns, as did Canadian energy stocks, which benefited from healthy production growth. Canadian energy company EnCana was the top contributor versus the index, joined by the strong performance of Brazilian bank Unibanco and State Bank of India. Favorable currency movements in emerging markets such as India and Brazil enhanced our returns in the latter two stocks. By contrast, Brazilian paper company Votorantim Celulose lagged due to a lack of pricing power amid rising energy costs, while demand hurt Japanese consumer electronics companies Ricoh and Victor Company. An underweighting in the materials sector also hurt relative performance, as several of the period’s top gainers from this group were absent from the portfolio.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

  Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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.
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    1,287,906         
Unrealized depreciation        (186,136)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        1,101,770         
Undistributed ordinary income        160,691         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        315,179         
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    7,484,281         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    20,958    $    10,785 
Long-term Capital Gains        11,568         
Total    $    32,526    $    10,785

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $6,901,019 and $3,810,647, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee    Fee        FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $    5,086    $    34 
Class T    25%    .25%        9,835        436

Class C    75%    .25%        5,715        2,661 
 
            $    23,448    $    5,240 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    1,377 
Class T        223 
Class B*        360 
Class C*        19 
    $    1,979 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets 
Class A    $    4,508    .22 
Class T        4,283    .22 
Class B        1,030    .37 
Class C        1,487    .26 
Institutional Class        3,071    .17 
 
    $    14,379     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $8,277 for the period.

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 $15 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Annual Report

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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 $4,080 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.

        Transfer Agent 
        Expense Reduction 
Class A    $    6 
 
 
8. 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.

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Diversified International Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

52


prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

54



The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one-year period and the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of Institutional Class of the fund has compared favorably to its benchmark over time, although the fund’s one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups”

55 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.


Annual Report 56


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that each class’s total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2004.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s

57 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

5 Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

A Class A’s 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.25% and 0.35%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class’s average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class A’s 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on June 16, 1999. Returns between March 25, 1995 and June 16, 1999 are those of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund, Inc., the Closed-End Fund. On June 15, 1999, the Closed-End Fund reorganized as an open-end fund through a transfer of all its assets and liabilities to Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (the fund). Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If Class A shares’ total expenses, including its 12b-1 fee, had been reflected in the Closed-End Fund’s performance, Class A’s returns, prior to June 16,1999, may have been lower.

Class T’s 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.50% and 0.60%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class’s average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class T’s 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.50% 12b-1 fee.

  $10,000 Over 10 Years

Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Emerging Asia Fund — Class T on October 31, 1995, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM AC Asia ex Japan Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Kevin Chang, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Emerging Asia

Roller coaster analogies are commonly used to describe the frequent ups and downs of Asian equity markets. Take 1999, for instance, when the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM (MSCI) All Country Asia ex Japan Index — designed to measure equity market performance in Asia, except for Japan — jumped 64.67%, only to lose 35.22% the following year. That’s a 100 percentage-point turnaround. For the past two-plus years, though, Asian stocks climbed higher, fueled in part by stronger economies and improved domestic demand. For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2005, the Morgan Stanley index returned 21.25% . Its largest component on average during the period — South Korea —had one of the highest returns, gaining more than 43%. Korea’s performance, combined with India’s strong showing, accounted for much of the index’s final tally, as the second-and third-largest country weightings — Hong Kong and Taiwan — both underperformed the benchmark’s overall return. The index overall fell 6.56% in the final month of the period — another reminder of the considerable volatility in the region’s stocks.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 27.23%, 26.89%, 26.31% and 26.31%, respectively. Those results beat the MSCI index, as well as the 25.23% return of the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average. A key reason for the fund’s outperformance versus the index was rewarding stock selection in the industrials sector, particularly among South Korean and Indian companies. In Korea, an overweighted position in niche shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard added value. The company continued to see strong demand for its products given the under-ordering of these ships that had occurred previously. Performance also was aided by overweighted positions in the top two Korean car makers, Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors. Conversely, the performance of Hong Kong-listed HSBC Holdings, one of the world’s largest banks, was disappointing. The U.K.-based company suffered from the rising interest rate environment. Performance also was hampered on a relative basis by not owning index component China Mobile, the leading wireless operator in China. I was concerned about potential regulatory changes that could trigger increased competition for China Mobile. However, amid uncertain timing of potential industry restructuring and a benign current competitive environment, the company’s operational results — and its share price — were strong.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

B
Total returns do not include the effect of the sales charges.

C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

D 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 any voluntary 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 repre sent the net expenses paid by the class.

E Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

F 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 4.18% . 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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), collectively referred to as Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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.

On September 27, 2004, the fund received a final and favorable ruling in India regarding the applicability of taxes imposed by the country on realized capital gains under the US/India tax treaty. The favorable 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 total benefit to the fund resulting from the ruling was US $1,547,115, and the per-share and total return impacts are disclosed on the Financial Highlights. A receivable balance of $270,638 for the tax refund is reflected in “Other Receivables” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 will claim 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 tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    10,149,572 
Unrealized depreciation        (3,090,529) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        7,059,043 
Undistributed ordinary income        5,321,308 
Undistributed long-term capital gain        1,375,822 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    69,030,675

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $        $    275,262 
Long-term Capital Gains        154,881        112,280 
Total    $    154,881    $    387,542 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $51,484,418 and $35,285,587, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee    Fee         FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $    64,382    $    3,875

            $    309,494    $    104,249 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    31,068 
Class T        7,855

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets 
Class A    $    79,535    .31 
Class T        50,773    .45 
Class B        40,588    .43 
Class C        33,669    .36 
Institutional Class        3,903    .28 
    $    208,468     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $96,744 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less

than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral 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.

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    2.00%    --    1.50%*    $    75,118 
Class T    2.25%    --    1.75%*        47,967 
Class B    2.75%    --    2.25%*        38,152 
Class C    2.75%    --    2.25%*        31,072 
Institutional Class    1.75%    --    1.25%*        3,161 
                $    195,470 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $32,744 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, 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 $101.

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.             
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:         
 
Years ended October 31,        2005        2004

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Emerging Asia Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

48


prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that Lipper peer group to be a meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because unlike most of its Lipper peers, the fund focuses its investments on securities of emerging market issuers. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 12% means that 88% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

52


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for 2004, the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may

Annual Report

54


benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures

are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

 Average Annual Total Returns             
Periods ended October 31, 2005    Past 1    Past 5    Past 10 
    year    years    years 
 Institutional ClassA    27.61%    8.12%    3.38% 

A Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns between March 25, 1995 and June 16, 1999 are those of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund, Inc., the Closed-End Fund. On June 15, 1999, the Closed-End Fund reorganized as an open-end fund through a transfer of all its assets and liabilities to Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (the fund). Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If the effect of Institutional Class expenses was reflected, returns may be lower than shown because Institutional Class shares of the fund may have higher total expenses than the Closed-End Fund.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Kevin Chang, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Emerging Asia

Roller coaster analogies are commonly used to describe the frequent ups and downs of Asian equity markets. Take 1999, for instance, when the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM All Country Asia ex Japan Index — designed to measure equity market performance in Asia, except for Japan — jumped 64.67%, only to lose 35.22% the following year. That’s a 100 percentage-point turnaround. For the past two-plus years, though, Asian stocks climbed higher, fueled in part by stronger economies and improved domestic demand. For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2005, the Morgan Stanley index returned 21.25% . Its largest component on average during the period — South Korea — had one of the highest returns, gaining more than 43%. Korea’s performance, combined with India’s strong showing, accounted for much of the index’s final tally, as the second- and third-largest country weightings — Hong Kong and Taiwan — both underperformed the benchmark’s overall return. The index overall fell 6.56% in the final month of the period — another reminder of the considerable volatility in the region’s stocks.

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, the fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 27.61% . That result beat the MSCI index, as well as the 25.23% return of the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average. A key reason for the fund’s outperformance versus the index was rewarding stock selection in the industrials sector, particularly among South Korean and Indian companies. In Korea, an overweighted position in niche shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard added value. The company continued to see strong demand for its products given the under-ordering of these ships that had occurred previously. Performance also was aided by overweighted positions in the top two Korean car makers, Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors. Conversely, the performance of Hong Kong-listed HSBC Holdings, one of the world’s largest banks, was disappointing. The U.K.-based company suffered from the rising interest rate environment. Performance also was hampered on a relative basis by not owning index component China Mobile, the leading wireless operator in China. I was concerned about potential regulatory changes that could trigger increased competition for China Mobile. However, amid uncertain timing of potential industry restructuring and a benign current competitive environment, the company’s operational results — and its share price — were strong.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), collectively referred to as Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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.

On September 27, 2004, the fund received a final and favorable ruling in India regarding the applicability of taxes imposed by the country on realized capital gains under the US/India tax treaty. The favorable 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 total benefit to the fund resulting from the ruling was US $1,547,115, and the per-share and total return impacts are disclosed on the Financial Highlights. A receivable balance of $270,638 for the tax refund is reflected in “Other Receivables” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 will claim 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 tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    10,149,572 
Unrealized depreciation        (3,090,529) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        7,059,043 
Undistributed ordinary income        5,321,308 
Undistributed long-term capital gain        1,375,822 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    69,030,675

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $51,484,418 and $35,285,587, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% of the fund’s average net assets.

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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained

            $    309,494    $    104,249 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    31,068 
Class T        7,855 
Class B*        15,463 
Class C*        3,063 
    $    57,449

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets 
Class A    $    79,535    .31 
Class T        50,773    .45 
Class B        40,588    .43 
Class C        33,669    .36 
Institutional Class        3,903    .28 
    $    208,468     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $96,744 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

6. Security Lending - continued

than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in 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.

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    2.00%    --    1.50%*    $    75,118 
Class T    2.25%    --    1.75%*        47,967 
Class B    2.75%    --    2.25%*        38,152 
Class C    2.75%    --    2.25%*        31,072 
Institutional Class    1.75%    --    1.25%*        3,161 
                $    195,470 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $32,744 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, 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 $101.

8. 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.

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Emerging Asia Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Emerging Asia Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

48


account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that Lipper peer group to be a meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because unlike most of its Lipper peers, the fund focuses its investments on securities of emerging market issuers. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 12% means that 88% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for 2004, the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

52


Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures

are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Robert von Rekowsky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Emerging Markets Fund

Emerging-markets stocks posted strong gains for the year ending October 31, 2005, as the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Emerging Markets Index soared 34.34% . The lofty return was largely driven by the skyrocketing prices of oil and other commodities. Many emerging markets are commodity exporters — particularly in Latin America — which helped the economies and fiscal health of these countries. As such, the Latin American region generally outperformed other emerging markets. Still, neither of the top two performers were in the Western Hemisphere. Egypt and Jordan topped the index, despite making up less than 1.00% of the index combined on average during the period. Stocks in the Far East posted strong absolute returns, but mostly trailed other emerging markets because they are primarily exporters of technology, which saw diminished demand. South Korea, the largest component of the index during the past year, rose more than 46%. However, Taiwan, the second-largest constituent, was a significant drag, gaining only 4%. Brazil, the largest Latin American component, was up more than 75%.

During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares gained 39.31%, 38.84%, 38.15% and 38.25%, respectively, outpacing the MSCIr Emerging Markets index and the LipperSM Emerging Markets Funds Average, which returned 32.14% . Despite increasing oil prices, concerns about rising U.S. interest rates and uncertainty regarding global growth, emerging-markets equities performed quite well. Good stock picking and the resulting country weightings fueled the fund’s outperformance versus the index. In terms of individual holdings, Samsung Electronics — by far the largest position in the fund — was a strong contributor in absolute terms. Samsung is the low-cost leader in most of its businesses and has made great strides in building its brand name. America Movil, a mobile phone company headquartered in Mexico, was another contributor — both on an absolute basis and relative to the index. The company benefited from subscriber additions in South and Central America, where mobile phone penetration was low. Egyptian mobile phone company Orascom Telecom, and Brazilian bank Banco Bradesco, also boosted returns. On a less favorable note, profitability concerns hurt Harmony Gold, a South African mining company. China International Marine Containers — the world’s largest manufacturer of shipping containers — was another notable detractor. Investor concerns about weakening global shipping demand put pressure on its shares.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets 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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    4,369,030 
Unrealized depreciation        (703,873) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        3,665,157 
Undistributed ordinary income        81,262 
Capital loss carryforward        (81,011) 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    25,490,824 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $27,852,862 and $7,509,863, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .82% 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

            $         83,800    $    39,571 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:         
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    27,121 
Class T        7,165 
Class B*        3,431 
Class C*        226 
    $    37,943 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of

Class C        13,384    .44 
Institutional Class        2,215    .23 
    $    59,430     

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $10,929 for the period.

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 $62 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 
Class A    2.00%--1.60%*    $    62,597 
Class T    2.25%--1.85%*        53,456 
Class B    2.75%--2.35%*        43,405 
Class C    2.75%--2.35%*        52,078 
Institutional Class    1.75%--1.35%*        15,841 
        $    227,377 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.             

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 $16,331 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, 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 $17.

7. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2005 and for the period from March 29, 2004 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2004. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund as of October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2005 and for the period from March 29, 2004 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report 48


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Emerging Markets Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

Annual Report

50


account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. The Board noted that it is not possible to evaluate performance in any comprehensive fashion because the fund had been in operation for less than one calendar year. Once the fund has been in operation for at least one calendar year, the Board will review the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the period of the fund’s operations shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 28% means that 72% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

52


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the period.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for the period, the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for the period, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for the period. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may

Annual Report

54


benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Robert von Rekowsky, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Emerging Markets Fund

Emerging-markets stocks posted strong gains for the year ending October 31, 2005, as the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Emerging Markets Index soared 34.34% . The lofty return was largely driven by the skyrocketing prices of oil and other commodities. Many emerging markets are commodity exporters — particularly in Latin America — which helped the economies and fiscal health of these countries. As such, the Latin American region generally outperformed other emerging markets. Still, neither of the top two performers were in the Western Hemisphere. Egypt and Jordan topped the index, despite making up less than 1.00% of the index combined on average during the period. Stocks in the Far East posted strong absolute returns, but mostly trailed other emerging markets because they are primarily exporters of technology, which saw diminished demand. South Korea, the largest component of the index during the past year, rose more than 46%. However, Taiwan, the second-largest constituent, was a significant drag, gaining only 4%. Brazil, the largest Latin American component, was up more than 75%.

During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares gained 39.53%, outpacing the MSCIr Emerging Markets index and the LipperSM Emerging Markets Funds Average, which returned 32.14% . Despite increasing oil prices, concerns about rising U.S. interest rates and uncertainty regarding global growth, emerging-markets equities performed quite well. Good stock picking and the resulting country weightings fueled the fund’s outperformance versus the index. In terms of individual holdings, Samsung — by far the largest position in the fund — was a strong contributor in absolute terms. Samsung is the low-cost leader in most of its businesses and has made great strides in building its brand name. America Movil, a mobile phone company headquartered in Mexico, was another contributor — both on an absolute basis and relative to the index. The company benefited from subscriber additions in South and Central America, where mobile phone penetration was low. Egyptian mobile phone company Orascom Telecom, and Brazilian bank Banco Bradesco, also boosted returns. On a less favorable note, profitability concerns hurt Harmony Gold, a South African mining company. China International Marine Containers — the world’s largest manufacturer of shipping containers — was another notable detractor. Investor concerns about weakening global shipping demand put pressure on its shares.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

  Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets 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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    4,369,030 
Unrealized depreciation        (703,873) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        3,665,157 
Undistributed ordinary income        81,262 
Capital loss carryforward        (81,011) 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    25,490,824 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $27,852,862 and $7,509,863, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .82% 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

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:         
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    27,121 
Class T        7,165 
Class B*        3,431 
Class C*        226 
    $    37,943 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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

Class C        13,384    .44 
Institutional Class        2,215    .23 
    $    59,430     

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $10,929 for the period.

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 $62 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 
Class A    2.00%--1.60%*    $    62,597 
Class T    2.25%--1.85%*        53,456 
Class B    2.75%--2.35%*        43,405 
Class C    2.75%--2.35%*        52,078 
Institutional Class    1.75%--1.35%*        15,841 
        $    227,377 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.             

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 $16,331 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, 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 $17.

7. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2005 and for the period from March 29, 2004 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2004. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Emerging Markets Fund as of October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2005 and for the period from March 29, 2004 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Emerging Markets Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

48


prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. The Board noted that it is not possible to evaluate performance in any comprehensive fashion because the fund had been in operation for less than one calendar year. Once the fund has been in operation for at least one calendar year, the Board will review the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the

Annual Report

50


Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the period of the fund’s operations shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 28% means that 72% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the period.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for the period, the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for the period, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for the period. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

52


Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Ian Hart, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% . Although robust, returns for U.S. investors in foreign markets were tempered somewhat by the strength of the dollar versus many major currencies.

During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 19.20%, 19.00%, 18.32% and 18.40%, respectively, beating the MSCI Europe index and the LipperSM European Region Funds Average, which rose 18.34% . The fund’s outperformance versus the index was mainly attributable to astute security selection, with strong-performing picks even coming from generally weak market sectors. For example, the fund’s top contributor — both on an absolute and relative basis — was TANDBERG Television, a Norwegian technology company that provides infrastructure for the cable and TV industries, which performed well despite a lackluster environment for tech stocks. Similarly, within the lagging financials sector, several individual holdings did well, including Turkiye Garanti Bankasi, a Turkish bank; Banca Italease, an Italian leasing company; Amlin, a British specialty insurance underwriter; and Deutsche Boerse, the German stock exchange. Conversely, performance was held back by the fund’s big underweighting in index component Roche Holdings, the Swiss pharmaceutical company, which did well during the period, as well as by some smaller names — among them, Italian broadband company FASTWEB and Turkish electrical utility Akenerji — where stories in which I had conviction hadn’t yet materialized.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

 Unrealized appreciation    $    2,410,526         
 Unrealized depreciation        (740,156)         
 Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) .        1,670,370         
 Undistributed ordinary income        110,905         
 Undistributed long-term capital gain        418,112         
 
 Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    23,650,972         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
 Ordinary Income    $        $                       86,506 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $30,849,970 and $31,058,872, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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.

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:         
        Retained 
        by FDC 
 Class A    $    5,182 
 Class T        2,431 
 Class B*        14,338 
 Class C*        1,365 
    $    23,316 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets

Class C        16,115    .38 
Institutional Class        1,239    .23 
    $    100,560     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $31,174 for the period.

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 $317 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 Class A    1.75%--1.50%*    $    22,236 
 Class T    2.00%--1.75%*        57,047 
 Class B    2.50%--2.25%*        41,774 
 Class C    2.50%--2.25%*        23,584 
 Institutional Class    1.50%--1.25%*        2,626 
        $    147,267 
 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.             

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 $26,725 for the period.

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.             
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:             
 Years ended October 31,    2005            2004

33 Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

48



The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, the third quartile for the three-year period, and the second quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for certain periods, although the five-year cumulative total return of Institutional Class of the fund was higher than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund’s more recent disappointing performance.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 24% means that 76% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

50


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, and Class C would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

Annual Report

52


The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Ian Hart, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% . Although robust, returns for U.S. investors in foreign markets were tempered somewhat by the strength of the dollar versus many major currencies.

During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 19.56%, beating the MSCI Europe Index and the LipperSM European Region Funds Average, which rose 18.34% . The fund’s outperformance versus the index was mainly attributable to astute security selection, with strong-performing picks even coming from generally weak market sectors. For example, the fund’s top contributor — both on an absolute and relative basis — was TANDBERG Television, a Norwegian technology company that provides infrastructure for the cable and TV industries, which performed well despite a lackluster environment for tech stocks. Similarly, within the lagging financials sector, several individual holdings did well, including Turkiye Garanti Bankasi, a Turkish Bank; Banca Italease, an Italian leasing company; Amlin, a British specialty insurance underwriter; and Deutsche Boerse, the German stock exchange. Conversely, performance was held back by the fund’s big underweighting in index component Roche Holdings, the Swiss pharmaceutical company, which did well during the period, as well as by some smaller names — among them, Italian broadband company FASTWEB and Turkish electrical utility Akenerji — where stories in which I had conviction hadn’t yet materialized.

Note to shareholders:

Effective January 1, 2006, Darren Maupin has been named Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, succeeding Ian Hart.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

  Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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

Annual Report

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

 Unrealized appreciation    $    2,410,526         
 Unrealized depreciation        (740,156)         
 Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) .        1,670,370         
 Undistributed ordinary income        110,905         
 Undistributed long-term capital gain        418,112         
 
 Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    23,650,972         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
 Ordinary Income    $        $                       86,506 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $30,849,970 and $31,058,872, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR.

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $31,174 for the period.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 Class A    1.75%--1.50%*    $    22,236 
 Class T    2.00%--1.75%*        57,047 
 Class B    2.50%--2.25%*        41,774 
 Class C    2.50%--2.25%*        23,584 
 Institutional Class    1.50%--1.25%*        2,626 
        $    147,267 
 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.             

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 $26,725 for the period.

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.             
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:             
 Years ended October 31,    2005            2004

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Europe Capital Appreciation Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, the third quartile for the three-year period, and the second quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for certain periods, although the five-year cumulative total return of Institutional Class of the fund was higher than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund’s more recent disappointing performance.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 24% means that 76% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that

Annual Report

50


established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, and Class C would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Richard Habermann, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Global Equity Fund

Global equities generally had solid advances during the year ending October 31, 2005. Encouraged by strong corporate earnings and improved economies, the stocks of most developed nations moved sharply higher. The Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM (MSCI®) World Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets throughout the world — gained 13.66% . Japan was among the top-performers in the index. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors, fueling robust returns for Japanese equities during the second half of the period. Asia-Pacific stocks outside of Japan, including Australia and Hong Kong, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment. European equities rose as well, despite concerns about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. Still, European constituents generally were not hurt as badly by the dramatic increase in energy prices as were U.S. equities, which finished the year well behind the world market — the only major region to underperform. By contrast, Canada — the largest supplier of oil to the United States — was a beneficiary of high oil prices and enjoyed healthy gains.

During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares rose 15.15%, 14.94%, 14.32% and 14.31%, respectively, topping the MSCI World index and the LipperSM Global Funds Average, which returned 14.09% . Driven mainly by good stock selection, the fund outpaced the index in all major developed world markets, particularly in the United States during the second half of the period. On a regional basis, underweighting U.S. equities helped, as did overweightings in foreign markets — notably Japan — that outperformed. Country selection in Europe also bolstered returns. Most of our relative gains in the U.S. subportfolio came from within the energy, financials, materials and health care sectors. Biotechnology giant Genentech was our top individual contributor, followed by coal producer Peabody Energy and hard-disk drive maker Seagate Technology. Health care was a particular area of strength in Europe, led by German dialysis services provider Fresenius. Conversely, the fund’s aggressive positioning in the weak technology sector hurt. Our underexposure to surging utilities stocks also detracted, as did overweightings in several U.S. names that disappointed, among them biotech firm Biogen Idec and Spanish-language broadcaster Univision. Weak results in Singapore, mainly from electronics contract manufacturer Flextronics, dampened our returns in the Pacific region.

Note to shareholders:

Effective December 14, 2005, a portfolio management team led by Michael Jenkins and composed of William Bower, Penelope Dobkin, William Kennedy, Harry Lange, Brian Hogan and Peter Saperstone has been named to manage Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund, succeeding Richard Habermann.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through October 31, 2005. See page 3 for further discussion of this section of the 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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Global Equity 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 may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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 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

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    9,851,393 
Unrealized depreciation        (1,703,404) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        8,147,989 
Undistributed ordinary income        105,226 
Capital loss carryforward        (307,610) 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    44,345,919 

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.

2. 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. 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. 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. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption ”Futures Contracts.” This amount reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $26,988,282 and $23,282,043, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee     Fee         FDC        by FDC

Class C    75%     .25%        49,223        10,945 
            $    270,020    $    59,482 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    6,209 
Class T        5,088 
Class B*        11,117 
Class C*        267 
    $    22,681 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the are made.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 
Class A    1.75%    --    1.50%*    $    19,587 
Class T    2.00%    --    1.75%*        74,574 
Class B    2.50%    --    2.25%*        18,779

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 $9,733 for the period.

7. 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.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Global Equity Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

55 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund’s portfolio managers and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

Annual Report

56


account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

57 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the third quartile for the one-year period and the second quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of Institutional Class of the fund has compared favorably to its benchmark over time, although the fund’s one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups”

Annual Report

58


of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

59 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, and Class C would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing,

Annual Report

60


marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

61 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Richard Habermann, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Global Equity Fund

Global equities generally had solid advances during the year ending October 31, 2005. Encouraged by strong corporate earnings and improved economies, the stocks of most developed nations moved sharply higher. The Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM (MSCI®) World Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets throughout the world — gained 13.66% . Japan was among the top-performers in the index. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors, fueling robust returns for Japanese equities during the second half of the period. Asia-Pacific stocks outside of Japan, including Australia and Hong Kong, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment. European equities rose as well, despite concerns about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. Still, European constituents generally were not hurt as badly by the dramatic increase in energy prices as were U.S. equities, which finished the year well behind the world market — the only major region to underperform. By contrast, Canada — the largest supplier of oil to the United States — was a beneficiary of high oil prices and enjoyed healthy gains.

During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares rose 15.51%, topping the MSCI World index and the LipperSM Global Funds Average, which returned 14.09% . Driven mainly by good stock selection, the fund outpaced the index in all major developed world markets, particularly in the United States during the second half of the period. On a regional basis, underweighting U.S. equities helped, as did overweightings in foreign markets — notably Japan — that outperformed. Country selection in Europe also bolstered returns. Most of our relative gains in the U.S. subportfolio came from within the energy, financials, materials and health care sectors. Biotechnology giant Genentech was our top individual contributor, followed by coal producer Peabody Energy and hard-disk drive maker Seagate Technology. Health care was a particular area of strength in Europe, led by German dialysis services provider Fresenius. Conversely, the fund’s aggressive positioning in the weak technology sector hurt. Our underexposure to surging utilities stocks also detracted, as did overweightings in several U.S. names that disappointed, among them biotech firm Biogen Idec and Spanish-language broadcaster Univision. Weak results in Singapore, mainly from electronics contract manufacturer Flextronics, dampened our returns in the Pacific region.

Note to shareholders:

Effective December 14, 2005, a portfolio management team led by Michael Jenkins and composed of William Bower, Penelope Dobkin, William Kennedy, Harry Lange, Brian Hogan and Peter Saperstone has been named to manage Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Fund, succeeding Richard Habermann.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through October 31, 2005. See page 3 for further discussion of this section of the 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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

  Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Global Equity 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 may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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 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

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    9,851,393 
Unrealized depreciation        (1,703,404) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        8,147,989 
Undistributed ordinary income        105,226 
Capital loss carryforward        (307,610) 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    44,345,919 

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.

2. 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. 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. 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. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption ”Futures Contracts.” This amount reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $26,988,282 and $23,282,043, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee     Fee         FDC        by FDC

Class C    75%     .25%        49,223        10,945 
            $    270,020    $    59,482 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    6,209 
Class T        5,088 
Class B*        11,117 
Class C*        267 
    $    22,681 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

(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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets 
Class A    $    32,874    .34 
Class T        111,649    .42 
Class B        27,480    .44 
Class C        20,553    .42 
Institutional Class        3,620    .25 
    $    196,176     

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.

Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $104,306 for the period.

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 $215 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 
Class A    1.75%    --    1.50%*    $    19,587 
Class T    2.00%    --    1.75%*        74,574 
Class B    2.50%    --    2.25%*        18,779 
Class C    2.50%    --    2.25%*        13,656 
Institutional Class    1.50%    --    1.25%*        1,646 
                $    128,242 
 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $9,733 for the period.

7. 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.

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Global Equity Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

54


prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund’s portfolio managers and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

55 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

56



The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the third quartile for the one-year period and the second quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of Institutional Class of the fund has compared favorably to its benchmark over time, although the fund’s one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups”

57 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.


Annual Report 58


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, and Class C would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing,

59 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

Annual Report

60


The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

5 Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

  $10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund — Class T on November 3, 1997, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM All Country World ex USA Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Richard Mace, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% .

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class shares returned 12.86%, 12.58%, 11.97% and 12.08%, respectively. By comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World (MSCI ACWI) ex USA Index rose 20.24% and the LipperSM International Funds Average gained 17.75% . A heavy overweight ing in information technology — largely concentrated within the lagging semiconductor industry — plus unfavorable stock picking within that group were responsible for a large portion of the shortfall versus the index. Taiwanese chip maker United Microelectronics and equipment maker Tokyo Electron were two of the biggest detractors in this group. Inopportune stock selection also hurt in a variety of other areas, including technology hardware and equipment, where Alcatel, the French telecommunications equipment maker, disappointed. On the plus side of the ledger, the fund reclaimed some ground through particularly strong stock picking in the banking group — notably State Bank of India — as well as in the booming energy arena, with such names as Canadian Natural Resources. Some of the stocks mentioned in this report were no longer held at period end

Note to shareholders: Effective January 1, 2006, an interim portfolio management team led by Michael Jenkins and composed of William Bower, Penelope Dobkin and William Kennedy has been named to manage Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund while the fund’s Portfolio Manager, Richard Mace, is on a leave of absence from the firm.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through October 31, 2005. See page 3 for further discussion of this section of the 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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), collectively referred to as Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    58,769,282         
Unrealized depreciation        (27,174,204)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        31,595,078         
Undistributed ordinary income        3,533,555         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        64,165,782         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    637,982,341         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $        $    685,316 

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.

2. 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. 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. 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. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts.

The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR.

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

    $    2,329,324     

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.

Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM).

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,493,623 for the period.

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 $1,463 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:

                Interest Earned         
Borrower        Average Daily    Weighted Average    (included in         
or Lender        Loan Balance    Interest Rate    interest income)        Interest Expense 
Borrower    $    9,882,250    3.68%        $    8,077

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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 $925,392 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 $1,620. During the period, credits reduced each class’ transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

        Transfer Agent 
        expense reduction 
Class A    $    1,065 

Annual Report 30


8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.         
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

46



The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period and the second quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 24% means that 76% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Annual Report

48


Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B and Class C ranked below its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders.

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s

Annual Report

50


management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Richard Mace, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% .

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, the fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 13.10%, while the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM All Country World (MSCI ACWI) ex USA Index rose 20.24% and the Lipper International Funds Average gained 17.75% . A heavy overweighting in information technology — largely concentrated within the lagging semiconductor industry — plus unfavorable stock picking within that group were responsible for a large portion of the shortfall versus the index. Taiwanese chip maker United Microelectronics and equipment maker Tokyo Electron were two of the biggest detractors in this group. Inopportune stock selection also hurt in a variety of other areas, including technology hardware and equipment, where Alcatel, the French telecommunications equipment maker, disappointed. On the plus side of the ledger, the fund reclaimed some ground through particularly strong stock picking in the banking group — notably State Bank of India — as well as in the booming energy arena, with such names as Canadian Natural Resources. Some of the stocks mentioned in this report were no longer held at period end.

Note to shareholders: Effective January 1, 2006, an interim portfolio management team led by Michael Jenkins and composed of William Bower, Penelope Dobkin and William Kennedy has been named to manage Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund while the fund’s Portfolio Manager, Richard Mace, is on a leave of absence from the firm.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through October 31, 2005. See page 3 for further discussion of this section of the 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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

  Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), collectively referred to as Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    58,769,282         
Unrealized depreciation        (27,174,204)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        31,595,078         
Undistributed ordinary income        3,533,555         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        64,165,782         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    637,982,341         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $        $    685,316 

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.

2. 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. 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. 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. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,159,090,370 and $1,226,136,513, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee     Fee         FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $    284,587    $    590

Class C    75%    .25%        726,042        144,254 
            $    2,748,747    $    610,730 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    44,600 
Class T        17,578 
Class B*        120,592 
Class C*        10,998 
    $    193,768 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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

Class C        225,747    .31 
Institutional Class        793,156    .37 
    $    2,329,324     

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.

Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM).

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,493,623 for the period.

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 $1,463 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:

                Interest Earned         
Borrower        Average Daily    Weighted Average    (included in         
or Lender        Loan Balance    Interest Rate    interest income)        Interest Expense 
Borrower    $    9,882,250    3.68%        $    8,077 

Annual Report 28


5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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 $925,392 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 $1,620. During the period, credits reduced each class’ transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

        Transfer Agent 
        expense reduction 
Class A    $    1,065

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.         
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund as of October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor International Capital Appreciation Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

43 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

44


account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

45 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period and the second quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar

Annual Report

46


Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 24% means that 76% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B and Class C ranked below its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders.

The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

5 Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

  $10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Japan Fund —Class T on December 17, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price (TOPIX) Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Dale Nicholls, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Japan Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% .

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 23.50%, 23.18%, 22.52% and 22.56%, respectively, about in line with the TOPIX, but trailing the 25.18% gain posted by the LipperSM Japanese Funds Average. On a sector basis, information technology added the most to performance versus the index primarily through effective stock selection. Opt, Inc., an emerging leader in online advertising, was the top contributor to relative performance. The stock had a great run, and I sold the position to lock in profits. The top contributor on an absolute basis was Intelligent Wave. The company provides software that helps companies protect their electronically stored information. Demand for such a product grew with the increasing frequency of scandals regarding personal information leakage, and the company had what seemed to be a very strong product. On the downside, the consumer discretionary sector had the biggest negative impact. Among individual securities, not owning index component Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group held back performance the most. Konica Minolta Holdings also was a significant detractor. The company struggled in both the digital camera and laser printer markets, but I thought investors overreacted to these negatives and stuck with the position. Lastly, the fund’s absolute performance was limited by the depreciation of the Japa-nese yen versus the U.S. dollar during the period.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    16,258,916 
Unrealized depreciation        (3,760,739) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        12,498,177 
Capital loss carryforward        (20,478,737) 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    93,712,524 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $82,866,479 and $69,717,621, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 0.27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee    Fee         FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $    45,952    $    91 
Class T    25%    .25%        65,664        50 
Class B    75%    .25%        177,308        133,164 
Class C    75%    .25%        238,056        99,944 
 
            $    526,980    $    233,249 

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

Class C*        7,850 
    $    112,776 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    1.75%    --    1.50%*    $    11,103 
Class T    2.00%    --    1.75%*        20,451

                $    53,053 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $8,255 for the period.

8. 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.

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Japan Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

48


prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

50



The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one- and five-year periods and the first quartile for the three-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Annual Report

52


Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders.

The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s

management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelityr Advisor Japan Fund —Institutional Class on December 17, 1998, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed and also shows how the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price (TOPIX) Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Dale Nicholls, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Japan Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% .

For the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, the fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 23.93%, beating the TOPIX, but trailing the 25.18% gain posted by the LipperSM Japanese Funds Average. On a sector basis, information technology added the most to performance versus the index primarily through effective stock selection. Opt, Inc., an emerging leader in online advertising, was the top contributor to relative performance. The stock had a great run, and I sold the position to lock in profits. The top contributor on an absolute basis was Intelligent Wave. The company provides software that helps companies protect their electronically stored information. Demand for such a product grew with the increasing frequency of scandals regarding personal information leakage, and the company had what seemed to be a very strong product. On the downside, the consumer discretionary sector had the biggest negative impact. Among individual securities, not owning index component Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group held back performance the most. Konica Minolta Holdings also was a significant detractor. The company struggled in both the digital camera and laser printer markets, but I thought investors overreacted to these negatives and stuck with the position. Lastly, the fund’s absolute performance was limited by the depreciation of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar during the period.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

  Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    16,258,916 
Unrealized depreciation        (3,760,739) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        12,498,177 
Capital loss carryforward        (20,478,737) 
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    93,712,524 

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.

2. 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. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The

Annual Report

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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $82,866,479 and $69,717,621, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 0.27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
    Fee    Fee         FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $    45,952    $    91 
Class T    25%    .25%        65,664        50 
Class B    75%    .25%        177,308        133,164 
Class C    75%    .25%        238,056        99,944 
 
            $    526,980    $    233,249 

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

Sales Load - continued

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

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    33,354 
Class T        9,974 
Class B*        61,598 
Class C*        7,850 
    $    112,776 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets 
Class A    $    63,363    .34

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $74,776 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    1.75%    --    1.50%*    $    11,103 
Class T    2.00%    --    1.75%*        20,451 
Class B    2.50%    --    2.25%*        21,499 
Class C    2.50%    --    2.25%*         
Institutional Class    1.50%    --    1.25%*         
                $    53,053 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $8,255 for the period.

8. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Japan Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report 46


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Japan Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one- and five-year periods and the first quartile for the three-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar

Annual Report

50


Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders.

The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

A Class A’s 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.25% and 0.35%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class’s average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class A’s 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on July 3, 2000. Returns between October 31, 1995 and June 30, 2000 are those of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund, Inc., (the Closed-End Fund). At the close of business on June 30, 2000, the Closed-End Fund reorganized as an open-end fund through a transfer of all its assets and liabilities to Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund (the fund). Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If Class A shares’ total expenses had been reflected in the Closed-End Fund’s performance, Class A’s returns prior to July 3, 2000 may have been lower.

Class T’s 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.50% and 0.60%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class’s average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class T’s 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.50% 12b-1 fee.

Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End Fund. If Class T shares’ total expenses had been reflected in the Closed-End Fund’s performance, Class T’s returns prior to July 3, 2000 may have been lower.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Wilson Wong, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Korea Fund on July 1, 2005

Against the backdrop of a firming South Korean economy, the Korean Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) finished the period with a gain of 49.33% . Of note during the year was the return of the domestic investor to the stock market through growth in the popularity of self-funded retirement and annuity plans. The Korean stock market also proved attractive because of low domestic interest rates, which resulted in acceptance of greater risk in search of higher returns. Meanwhile, structural and political risks were partially mitigated following Korea’s improved national credit rating and the progression of negotiations on North Korean nuclear issues. On the macroeconomic side, initial third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) estimates announced by the Bank of Korea revealed the highest growth in four quarters. Returns for U.S. investors in this market were further enhanced by the appreciation of the won — Korea’s currency — versus the U.S. dollar.

During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 45.85%, 45.59%, 44.75% and 44.93%, respectively, trailing the KOSPI but handily beating the 25.23% gain of the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average. On an industry basis, bank stocks helped performance the most, as they benefited from improving asset quality and expectations for accelerating loan growth. For example, one strong performer was the stock of Shinhan Financial Group, the second-largest financial institution in Korea. The company broadened its distribution platform to include a more diverse customer base through its 2003 acquisition of Chohung Bank. Also aiding fund performance was its position in Hyundai Department Store, Korea’s second-largest department store operator. Conversely, the biggest detractor was NCsoft, the largest developer of multi-player, online role-playing games in Korea. The stock underperformed the index, particularly in the first half of the period, after reporting lackluster 2004 earnings. Another disappointment was Jahwa Electronics, which manufactures vibration motors for mobile handsets. The company’s profit margins suffered due the sharp appreciation of Korea’s currency — the won —versus the U.S. dollar early in the period.

Note to shareholders: Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the Korean market. As of October 31, 2005, the fund did not have more than 25% of its total assets invested in any one industry.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table on the next page 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table on the next page 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Korea 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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates.

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

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    7,546,867 
Unrealized depreciation        (623,784) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        6,923,083 
Undistributed ordinary income        51,418 
Capital loss carryforward        (6,981,779) 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    21,384,460 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $23,957,959 and $20,384,225, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .82% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
         Fee     Fee        FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $         33,611    $    6,967 
Class T    25%    .25%             11,316        8 
Class B    75%    .25%             33,020        24,802 
Class C    75%    .25%             17,423        8,312 
            $         95,370    $    40,089

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    13,144 
Class T        2,507 
Class B*        2,771 
Class C*        1,909 
    $    20,331 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets 
Class A    $    41,094    .31 
Class T        11,662    .51 
Class B        12,645    .38 
Class C        6,582    .38 
Institutional Class        1,269    .27 
    $    73,252     

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $14,397 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    2.00%—1.60%*    $    75,394 
Class T    2.25%—1.85%*        17,166 
Class B    2.75%—2.35%*        20,972 
Class C    2.75%—2.35%*        10,631 
Institutional Class    1.75%—1.35%*        2,447 
        $    126,610 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.             

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 $9,768 for the period.

7. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Korea Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

45 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds over multiple periods. Because the fund had been in existence less than five calendar years, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the first quartile for the one-year period and the second quartile for the three-year period. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that Lipper peer group to be a meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because unlike many of its Lipper peers, the fund focuses its investments on securities of Korean issuers. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 25% means that 75% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for 2004, the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Average Annual Total Returns             
Periods ended October 31, 2005    Past 1    Past 5    Past 10 
    year    years    years 
 Institutional ClassA    46.35%    19.02%    3.89% 

A Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on July 3, 2000. Returns between October 31, 1995 and June 30, 2000 are those of Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund, Inc., (the Closed-End Fund). At the close of business on June 30, 2000, the Closed-End Fund reorganized as an open-end fund through a transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund (the fund). Shareholders of the Closed-End Fund received Class A shares of the fund in exchange for their shares of the Closed-End fund. If the effect of Institutional Class expenses was reflected, returns may be lower than shown because Institutional Class shares of the fund may have higher total expenses than the Closed-End Fund.

  $10,000 Over 10 Years

Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelityr Advisor Korea Fund —Institutional Class on October 31, 1995. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Korea Composite Stock Price Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Wilson Wong, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Korea Fund on July 1, 2005

Against the backdrop of a firming South Korean economy, the Korean Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) finished the period with a gain of 49.33% . Of note during the year the return of the domestic investor to the stock market through growth in the popularity self-funded retirement and annuity plans. The Korean stock market also proved attractive because of low domestic interest rates, which resulted in acceptance of greater risk in search of higher returns. Meanwhile, structural and political risks were partially mitigated following Korea’s improved national credit rating and the progression of negotiations on North Korean nuclear issues. On the macroeconomic side, initial third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) estimates announced by the Bank of Korea revealed the highest growth in four quarters. Returns for U.S. investors in this market were further enhanced the appreciation of the won — Korea’s currency — versus the U.S. dollar.

During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 46.35%, trailing the KOSPI but handily beating the 25.23% gain of the LipperSM Pacific Region ex Japan Funds Average. On an industry basis, bank stocks helped performance the most, as they benefited from improving asset quality and expectations for accelerating loan growth. For example, one strong performer was the stock of Shinhan Financial Group, the second-largest financial institution in Korea. The company broadened its distribution platform to include more diverse customer base through its 2003 acquisition of Chohung Bank. Also aiding fund performance was its position in Hyundai Department Store, Korea’s second-largest department store operator. Conversely, the biggest detractor was NCsoft, the largest developer of multi-player, online role-playing games in Korea. The stock underperformed the index, particularly in the first half of the period, after reporting lackluster 2004 earn ings. Another disappointment was Jahwa Electronics, which manufactures vibration motors for mobile handsets. The company’s profit margins suffered due the sharp appreciation Korea’s currency — the won — versus the U.S. dollar early in the period.

Note to shareholders: Fidelity Advisor Korea Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the Korean market. As of October 31, 2005, the fund did not have more than 25% of its total assets invested in any one industry.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table on the next page 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table on the next page 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Korea 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.

The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates.

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

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    7,546,867 
Unrealized depreciation        (623,784) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        6,923,083 
Undistributed ordinary income        51,418 
Capital loss carryforward        (6,981,779) 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    21,384,460 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $23,957,959 and $20,384,225, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .82% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
         Fee     Fee        FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $         33,611    $    6,967 
Class T    25%    .25%             11,316        8 
Class B    75%    .25%             33,020        24,802 
Class C    75%    .25%             17,423        8,312 
            $         95,370    $    40,089

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    13,144 
Class T        2,507 
Class B*        2,771 
Class C*        1,909 
    $    20,331 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets 
Class A    $    41,094    .31

Class B        12,645    .38 
Class C        6,582    .38 
Institutional Class        1,269    .27 
    $    73,252     

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund’s accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Affiliated Central Funds. The fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $14,397 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    2.00%—1.60%*    $    75,394 
Class T    2.25%—1.85%*        17,166 
Class B    2.75%—2.35%*        20,972 
Class C    2.75%—2.35%*        10,631 
Institutional Class    1.75%—1.35%*        2,447 
        $    126,610 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.             

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 $9,768 for the period.

7. 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.

43 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Korea Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

44


prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

45 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds over multiple periods. Because the fund had been in existence less than five calendar years, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

46


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the first quartile for the one-year period and the second quartile for the three-year period. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that Lipper peer group to be a meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because unlike many of its Lipper peers, the fund focuses its investments on securities of Korean issuers. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

47 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 25% means that 75% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

48


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for 2004, the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C ranked equal to its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may

Annual Report

50


benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Adam Kutas and Brent Bottamini, Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity® Advisor Latin America Fund

Emerging-markets stocks posted strong gains for the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, as the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM (MSCI®) Emerging Markets Index soared 34.34% . The lofty return was largely driven by the skyrocketing prices of oil and other commodities. Many emerging markets are commodity exporters — particularly in Latin America — which helped the economies and fiscal health of these countries. As such, the Latin American region generally outperformed other emerging markets. Still, neither of the top two performers were in the Western Hemisphere. Egypt and Jordan topped the index, despite making up less than 1.00% of the index combined on average during the period. Stocks in the Far East posted strong absolute returns, but mostly trailed other emerging markets because they are primarily exporters of technology, which saw diminished demand. South Korea, the largest component of the index during the past year, rose more than 46%. However, Taiwan, the second-largest constituent, was a significant drag, gaining only 4%. Brazil, the largest Latin American component, was up more than 75%.

During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares rose 63.94%, 63.57%, 62.73% and 62.86%, respectively, compared to 61.55% for the MSCI Emerging Markets - Latin America index and 64.64% for the LipperSM Latin American Funds Average. Versus the index, the fund benefited primarily from security selection in telecommunication services, an overweighting and stock selection in financials, and an underweighting and stock selection in industrials. Our underweighting in Chile and overweighting in Mexico contributed as well. The fund lost ground due to stock selection in materials, and holding a modest stake in cash. The appreciation of local currencies versus the dollar bolstered the fund’s absolute return. The top performers in absolute terms included Mexican wireless company America Movil, Mexican cement producer Cemex, Brazilian energy giant Petrobras and Brazilian mining company Vale do Rio Doce. Several Brazilian bank holdings, such as Unibanco, helped relative to the index. Slight negative performance came from Chile’s Lan Airlines and Peruvian gold producer Buenaventura. Underweighting Vale do Rio Doce held back the fund’s relative performance.

Note to shareholders:

Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the Latin American market. As of October 31, 2005, the fund did not have more than 25% of its assets invested in any one industry.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio managers only through October 31, 2005. See page 3 for further discussion of this section of the 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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

Shareholder Expense Example - continued

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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. The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    13,441,264         
Unrealized depreciation        (353,467)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        13,087,797         
Undistributed ordinary income        343,753         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        1,066,983         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    32,824,252         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    118,538    $    34,709 

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.

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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $29,764,435 and $10,913,067, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    48,230 
Class T        6,142 
Class B*        5,012 
Class C*        8,625 
    $    68,009 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund.

Class C        17,042    .37 
Institutional Class        8,640    .18 
    $    94,220     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $24,600 for the period.

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 $1,306 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    2.00%    --    1.50%*    $    21,338 
Class T    2.25%    --    1.75%*        24,221 
Class B    2.75%    --    2.25%*        23,322 
Class C    2.75%    --    2.25%*        17,286 
Institutional Class    1.75%    --    1.25%*        11,339 
                $    97,506 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $14,542 for the period.

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.             
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:         
           Years ended October 31,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Latin America Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

48



The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one- and three-year periods and the third quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for certain periods, although the one-year cumulative total return of Institutional Class of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 12% means that 88% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

50


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class B, Class C, Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class B, Class C, Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

Annual Report

52


The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Adam Kutas and Brent Bottamini, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Latin America Fund

Emerging-markets stocks posted strong gains for the 12 months ending October 31, 2005, as the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM (MSCI®) Emerging Markets Index soared 34.34% . The lofty return was largely driven by the skyrocketing prices of oil and other commodities. Many emerging markets are commodity exporters — particularly in Latin America — which helped the economies and fiscal health of these countries. As such, the Latin American region generally outperformed other emerging markets. Still, neither of the top two performers were in the Western Hemisphere. Egypt and Jordan topped the index, despite making up less than 1.00% of the index combined on average during the period. Stocks in the Far East posted strong absolute returns, but mostly trailed other emerging markets because they are primarily exporters of technology, which saw diminished demand. South Korea, the largest component of the index during the past year, rose more than 46%. However, Taiwan, the second-largest constituent, was a significant drag, gaining only 4%. Brazil, the largest Latin American component, was up more than 75%.

During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares rose 64.36%, compared to 61.55% for the MSCI Emerging Markets — Latin America Index and 64.64% for the LipperSM Latin American Funds Average. Versus the Index, the fund benefited primarily from security selection in telecommunication services, an overweighting and stock selection in financials, and an underweighting and stock selection in industrials. Our underweighting in Chile and overweighting in Mexico contributed as well. The fund lost ground due to stock selection in materials, and holding a modest stake in cash. The appreciation of local currencies versus the dollar bolstered the fund’s absolute return. The top performers in absolute terms included Mexican wireless company America Movil, Mexican cement producer Cemex, Brazilian energy giant Petrobras and Brazilian mining company Vale do Rio Doce. Several Brazilian bank holdings, such as Unibanco, helped relative to the index. Slight negative performance came from Chile’s Lan Airlines and Peruvian gold producer Buenaventura. Underweighting Vale do Rio Doce held back the fund’s relative performance.

Note to shareholders:

Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the Latin American market. As of October 31, 2005, the fund did not have more than 25% of its assets invested in any one industry.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio managers only through October 31, 2005. See page 3 for further discussion of this section of the 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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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.

23 Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

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. The fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds) which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    13,441,264         
Unrealized depreciation        (353,467)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        13,087,797         
Undistributed ordinary income        343,753         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        1,066,983         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    32,824,252         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    118,538    $    34,709 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $29,764,435 and $10,913,067, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    48,230 
Class T        6,142 
Class B*        5,012 
Class C*        8,625 
    $    68,009 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $24,600 for the period.

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 $1,306 for the period.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:         
    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
Class A    2.00%    --    1.50%*    $    21,338 
Class T    2.25%    --    1.75%*        24,221 
Class B    2.75%    --    2.25%*        23,322 
Class C    2.75%    --    2.25%*        17,286 
Institutional Class    1.75%    --    1.25%*        11,339 
                $    97,506 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $14,542 for the period.

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.             
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:         
           Years ended October 31, 
        2005        2004

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Latin America Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Latin America Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

45 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one- and three-year periods and the third quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for certain periods, although the one-year cumulative total return of Institutional Class of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 12% means that 88% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of Class A ranked below its competitive median for 2004, and the total expenses of each of Class B, Class C, Class T and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class B, Class C, Class T and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Annual Report

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

5 Annual Report


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Average Annual Total Returns             
Periods ended October 31, 2005    Past 1    Past 5    Past 10 
    year    years    years 
 Class A (incl. 5.75%             
     sales charge)A    9.74%    --0.17%    5.66% 
 
 Class T (incl. 3.50%             
     sales charge)    12.24%    0.15%    5.79% 
 
 Class B (incl. contingent             
     deferred sales charge)B    10.53%    --0.20%    5.74% 
 
 Class C (incl. contingent             
     deferred sales charge)C    14.58%    0.24%    5.51% 

A Class A’s 12b-1 fee may have ranged over time between 0.25% and 0.35%, as an equivalent amount of brokerage commissions of up to 0.10% of the class’s average net assets may have been used to promote the sale of class shares. This practice has been discontinued and no commissions incurred after June 30, 2003 have been used to pay distribution expenses. Class A’s 12b-1 plan currently authorizes a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect a 0.50% 12b-1 fee (0.65% prior to January 1, 1996).

B Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Class B shares’ contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past 5 year, and the past 10 year total return figures are 5%, 2% and 0%, respectively.

C Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on Novem-ber 3, 1997. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Class B shares and reflect Class B shares’ 1.00% 12b-1 fee. Class C shares’ contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five year, and past 10 year total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Graeme Rockett, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Overseas Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% . Returns for U.S. investors in overseas markets, while robust, were tempered somewhat by the strength of the dollar versus many major currencies. During the past year, Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares gained 16.44%, 16.31%, 15.53% and 15.58%, respectively, trailing the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 17.75%, and the MSCI EAFE index. A big overweighting in the information technology (IT) sector — particularly among semiconductors — was the main reason for lagging the index, as that group was IT’s worst-performing component during the period. Good stock picking within the group, however, helped offset some of the damage there. Among the biggest detractors were Japanese semiconductor equipment maker Tokyo Electron, German chip maker Infineon Technologies and Taiwan-ese chip maker United Microelectronics. French telecommunications equipment giant Alcatel also disappointed in the tech hardware/equipment space. On the upside, the fund was buoyed by astute stock selection in financials, especially among banks, as well as in energy stocks. Canadian oil and natural gas producer EnCana and French integrated oil company Total were the two biggest relative contributors. Strong results also came from South Korea’s Kookmin Bank and India’s Housing Development Finance Corp., helped in part by favorable currency movements in these countries. Some of these stocks were no longer held at period end.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

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. 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 may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The fund’s investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), capital loss carryforward, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    75,603         
Unrealized depreciation        (58,685)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        16,918         
Undistributed ordinary income        15,854         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        8,404         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    1,100,193         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    7,872    $    9,233 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,474,617 and $2,149,058, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .51% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained

Class C    75%    .25%        393        26 
            $    5,223    $    485 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    17 
Class T        16 
Class B*        87 
Class C*        2 
    $    122 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets

Class C        145    .37 
Institutional Class        497    .20 
    $    3,174     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $2,345 for the period.

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.

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:

                Interest Earned         
Borrower        Average Daily    Weighted Average    (included in         
or Lender        Loan Balance    Interest Rate    interest income)        Interest Expense 
Borrower    $    20,669    2.77%        $    38

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

  6. Security Lending.

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

  7. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank’s base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which loans were outstanding amounted to $5,536. The weighted average interest rate was 2.81% . At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.

  8. 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 $1,161 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.

        Transfer Agent 
        expense reduction 
Class A    $                     1 

Annual Report 36


9. 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.

10. Distributions to Shareholders.                 
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:             
Years ended October 31,        2005        2004     
From net investment income

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Overseas Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

52


account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period and the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund’s disappointing performance.

The Board also considered that the fund’s management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund’s investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record (over the same period) of a Board-approved performance adjustment index. The Board realizes that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund’s shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund’s shareholders.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Annual Report

54


Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked and the impact of the fund’s performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

55 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004. The Board also noted the effect of the fund’s negative performance adjustment on the fund’s management fee ranking.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the fund’s negative performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that each class’s total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2004.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Annual Report

56


Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or

57 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Graeme Rockett, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Overseas Fund

Foreign stock markets enjoyed broad-based advances during the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2005, encouraged by better-than-expected corporate earnings and markedly improved economies. For the 12 months overall, the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCIr EAFE®) Index — a performance measure of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada — gained 18.28% . The Japanese stock market climbed to its highest level in more than four years. Positive economic indicators and Prime Minister Koizumi’s decisive election victory attracted record inflows from overseas investors. In response, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) soared 22.89% . Southeast Asian equities outside of Japan, particularly South Korea, also responded well to the better macroeconomic environment, illustrated by the 19.44% return for the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan index. Euro-pean stock markets were up as well, despite investors’ concern about higher energy prices and potential downgrades to economic growth in the region. For the year overall, the MSCI Europe index rose 16.51% . Although robust, returns for U.S. investors in overseas markets were tempered somewhat by the strength of the dollar versus many major currencies.

During the past year, Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund’s Institutional Class shares gained 16.91%, trailing the LipperSM International Funds Average, which rose 17.75%, and the MSCI EAFE index. A big overweighting in the information technology (IT) sector —particularly among semiconductors — was the main reason for lagging the index, as that group was IT’s worst-performing component during the period. Good stock picking within the group, however, helped offset some of the damage there. Among the biggest detractors were Japanese semiconductor equipment maker Tokyo Electron, German chip maker Infineon Technologies and Taiwanese chip maker United Microelectronics. French telecommunications equipment giant Alcatel also disappointed in the tech hardware/equipment and equipment space. On the upside, the fund was buoyed by astute stock selection in financials, especially among banks, as well as in energy stocks. Canadian oil and natural gas producer EnCana and French integrated oil company Total were the two biggest relative contributors. Strong results also came from South Korea’s Kookmin Bank and India’s Housing Development Finance Corp., helped in part by favorable currency movements in these countries. Some of these stocks were no longer held at period end.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

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. 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 may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The fund’s investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), capital loss carryforward, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    75,603         
Unrealized depreciation        (58,685)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        16,918         
Undistributed ordinary income        15,854         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        8,404         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    1,100,193         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    7,872    $    9,233 

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.

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,474,617 and $2,149,058, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 .27% 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 annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .51% 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

Class C    75%    .25%        393        26 
            $    5,223    $    485 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    17 
Class T        16 
Class B*        87 
Class C*        2 
    $    122 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of 
            Average 
        Amount    Net Assets

Class C        145    .37 
Institutional Class        497    .20 
    $    3,174     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $2,345 for the period.

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.

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:

                Interest Earned         
Borrower        Average Daily    Weighted Average    (included in         
or Lender        Loan Balance    Interest Rate    interest income)        Interest Expense 
Borrower    $    20,669    2.77%        $    38 

Annual Report 34


  5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

  6. Security Lending.

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

  7. Bank Borrowings.

The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank’s base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which loans were outstanding amounted to $5,536.

  8. 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 $1,161 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.

9. 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.

Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

49 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Overseas Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

50


prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the returns of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

52



The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period and the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark over time. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund’s disappointing performance.

The Board also considered that the fund’s management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund’s investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record (over the same period) of a Board-approved performance adjustment index. The Board realizes that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund’s shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund’s shareholders.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked and the impact of the fund’s performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

54


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004. The Board also noted the effect of the fund’s negative performance adjustment on the fund’s management fee ranking.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the fund’s negative performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that each class’s total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2004.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

55 Annual Report

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or

expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

  $10,000 Over Life of Fund

Let’s say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Value Leaders Fund - Class T on June 17, 2003, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Russell 1000r Value Index performed over the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Brian Hogan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Value Leaders Fund

U.S. equity markets had respectable performance during the year that ended October 31, 2005. The period got off to a great start with a strong November and December of 2004. However, the markets were later dragged down by surging oil prices, further disorder in Iraq, potential new troubles with Iran and Syria, and terrorist attacks in London. While stocks recovered nicely, Hurricane Katrina would drive them down again. The devastating storm led to record-high prices for gasoline, natural gas and oil, as well as fears of a corresponding leap in inflation. The Federal Reserve Board responded to this and to other inflationary pressures during the period by raising short-term interest rates eight times. Nonetheless, stocks moved higher despite a very weak October. Market breadth was narrow, as most of the gains were concentrated in rapidly appreciating energy-related investments. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor’s 500SM Index was up 8.72%, followed closely by the technology-laden NASDAQ Compositer Index at 8.15% . The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 6.45% .

During the past year, the fund’s Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares gained 13.40%, 12.96%, 12.35% and 12.45%, respectively, while the Russell 1000r Value Index rose 11.86% and the LipperSM Growth Funds Average returned 10.58% . The fund’s outperformance of its index was driven by strong stock selection within pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, energy, telecommunication services and consumer staples. Favorable industry positioning within financials also contributed. Conversely, an underweighting in the surging utilities sector detracted from returns, as did an overweighting in industrials and weak results in technology. Underweighting pharmaceutical company Pfizer — a component of the Russell index — helped the most, as the company suffered due to concerns about competition and patent protection for its flagship product, Lipitor. Energy companies Halliburton and National Oilwell Varco benefited from continued high prices for oil and natural gas, which helped the fund’s performance. Banco Bradesco, one of the largest banks in Brazil, also did well, due to an improving economy and strong consumer loan demand. On the negative side, Tyco International detracted from performance after experiencing earnings setbacks. The fund’s underweighted position compared to the index in energy giant ConocoPhillips, whose stock price gained on strong energy prices, also took away from relative returns. Another notable detractor was containerboard producer Smurfit-Stone Container.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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 October 31, 2005

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders 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 may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

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, 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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 gains 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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 and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    4,606,359         
Unrealized depreciation        (1,185,891)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        3,420,468         
Undistributed ordinary income        259,857         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        702,221         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    35,404,709         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
 
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    59,389    $     
Long-term Capital Gains        20,268         
Total    $    79,657    $

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $40,819,326 and $28,101,275, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 rate fee that averaged .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .57% 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

            $    177,186    $    62,751 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
 
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    9,281 
Class T        4,757 
Class B*        3,117 
Class C*        665 
    $    17,820 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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.

    $    83,765     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $18,664 for the period.

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 $2,429 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 
Class A    1.50% --1.25%*    $    11,101 
Class T    1.75%    --    1.50%*        32,603 
Class B    2.25%    --    2.00%*        9,702 
Class C    2.25%    --    2.00%*        7,697 
Institutional Class    1.25%    --    1.00%*        1,265 
                $    62,368 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $13,186 for the period.

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.                 
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:             
 
 Years ended October 31,        2005        2004

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Value Leaders Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

Annual Report

54


account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds. Because the fund had been in existence less than three calendar years, the following chart considered by the Board shows, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the return of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within the chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below the chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

55 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the first quartile for the one-year period. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that Lipper peer group to be a meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because the peer group includes funds with different investment mandates (some broader, some narrower) than the fund. For example, the peer group includes funds that are not limited to a particular investment style, funds that focus on growth-oriented stocks, and funds that (like the fund) focus their investments on value-oriented securities. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one-year period. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board stated that it is difficult to evaluate in any comprehensive fashion the performance of the fund, in light of its relatively recent launch.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services

provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 15% means that 85% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

57 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Annual Report

58


Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

59 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman’s Message

(Photograph of Edward C. Johnson 3d)

Dear Shareholder:

During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called “market timing” activities.

First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner — and in every other. But I underscore
again that Fidelity has no so-called “agreements” that sanction illegal practices.

Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee — which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors — to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors’ holdings.

For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Annual Report 4


Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class’ dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Brian Hogan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Advisor Value Leaders Fund

U.S. equity markets had respectable performance during the year that ended October 31, 2005. The period got off to a great start with a strong November and December of 2004. However, the markets were later dragged down by surging oil prices, further disorder in Iraq, potential new troubles with Iran and Syria, and terrorist attacks in London. While stocks recovered nicely, Hurricane Katrina would drive them down again. The devastating storm led to record-high prices for gasoline, natural gas and oil, as well as fears of a corresponding leap in inflation. The Federal Reserve Board responded to this and to other inflationary pressures during the period by raising short-term interest rates eight times. Nonetheless, stocks moved higher despite a very weak October. Market breadth was narrow, as most of the gains were concentrated in rapidly appreciating energy-related investments. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor’s 500SM Index was up 8.72%, followed closely by the technology-laden NASDAQ Compositer Index at 8.15% . The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 6.45% .

During the past year, the fund’s Institutional Class shares gained 13.47% . During the same time frame, the Russell 1000r Value Index returned 11.86%, while the LipperSM Growth Funds Average returned 10.58% . The fund’s outperformance of its index was driven by strong stock selection within pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, energy, telecommunication services and consumer staples. Favorable industry positioning within financials also contributed. Conversely, an underweighting in the surging utilities sector detracted from returns, as did an overweighting in industrials and weak results in technology. Underweighting pharmaceutical company Pfizer — a component of the Russell index — helped the most, as the company suffered due to concerns about competition and patent protection for its flagship product, Lipitor. Energy companies Halliburton and National Oilwell Varco benefited from continued high prices for oil and natural gas, which helped the fund’s performance. Banco Bradesco, one of the largest banks in Brazil, also did well, due to an improving economy and strong consumer loan demand. On the negative side, Tyco International detracted from performance after experiencing earnings setbacks. The fund’s underweighted position compared to the index in energy giant ConocoPhillips, whose stock price gained on strong energy prices, also took away from relative returns. Another notable detractor was containerboard producer Smurfit-Stone Container.

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 (May 1, 2005 to October 31, 2005).

  Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below 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.

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. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders 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 may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. 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, 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

Security Valuation - continued

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 market, 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 can not 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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 gains 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 is 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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 and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation    $    4,606,359         
Unrealized depreciation        (1,185,891)         
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)        3,420,468         
Undistributed ordinary income        259,857         
Undistributed long-term capital gain        702,221         
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes    $    35,404,709         
 
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:         
 
        October 31, 2005        October 31, 2004 
Ordinary Income    $    59,389    $     
Long-term Capital Gains        20,268         
Total    $    79,657    $

2. 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. 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.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $40,819,326 and $28,101,275, respectively.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. 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 rate fee that averaged .27% 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 annual management fee rate was .57% 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:

    Distribution    Service        Paid to        Retained 
         Fee    Fee        FDC        by FDC 
Class A    0%    .25%    $    14,217    $    3,185 
Class T         25%    .25%        94,672        6,206 
Class B         75%    .25%        37,727        31,444 
Class C         75%    .25%        30,570        21,916 
 
            $    177,186    $    62,751 

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, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:     
 
        Retained 
        by FDC 
Class A    $    9,281 
Class T        4,757 
Class B*        3,117 
Class C*        665 
    $    17,820 

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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:

            % of

Class B        12,174    .32 
Class C        9,715    .32 
Institutional Class        2,391    .15 
    $    83,765     

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.

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

The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $18,664 for the period.

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 $2,429 for the period.

5. 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Annual Report

6. Security Lending.

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

7. 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

    Expense        Reimbursement 
    Limitations        from adviser 
 
Class A    1.50% --1.25%*    $    11,101 
Class T    1.75%    --    1.50%*        32,603 
Class B    2.25%    --    2.00%*        9,702 
Class C    2.25%    --    2.00%*        7,697 
Institutional Class    1.25%    --    1.00%*        1,265 
                $    62,368 
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.                     

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 $13,186 for the period.

8. 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.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.                 
 
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:             
 
 Years ended October 31,        2005        2004

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VIII) at October 31, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Value Leaders Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

51 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Advisor Value Leaders Fund

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 11 standing committees, each composed of independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically during the first six months of each year and as necessary to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.

At its July 2005 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders by Fidelity (including the investment performance of the fund); (2) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (3) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and independent Trustees’ counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity’s fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its

Annual Report

prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Fidelity. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund’s portfolio manager and the fund’s investment objective and discipline. The independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity’s investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.

Fidelity Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers’ investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers’ approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity’s extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity’s analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity’s portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund’s portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily decided in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund’s compliance policies and procedures.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to

53 Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund’s prospectus, without paying an additional sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2004, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) voluntarily deciding in 2004 to stop using “soft” commission dollars to pay for market data and, instead, to pay for that data out of its own resources, (ii) contractually agreeing to impose management fee reductions and expense limitations on its five Spartan stock index funds and its stock index fund available through variable insurance products, (iii) contractually agreeing to eliminate the management fees on the Fidelity Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Advisor Freedom Funds, (iv) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on most of its investment-grade taxable bond funds, and (v) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on its retail and Spartan investment-grade taxable bond funds.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund’s absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund’s relative investment performance for each class measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds. Because the fund had been in existence less than three calendar years, the following chart considered by the Board shows, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2004, the returns of Class C and Institutional Class of the fund, the return of a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark”), and a range of returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Class C and Institutional Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). The box within the chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below the chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Annual Report

54


The Board reviewed the fund’s relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class of the fund was in the first quartile for the one-year period. The Board noted that FMR does not consider that Lipper peer group to be a meaningful comparison for the fund, however, because the peer group includes funds with different investment mandates (some broader, some narrower) than the fund. For example, the peer group includes funds that are not limited to a particular investment style, funds that focus on growth-oriented stocks, and funds that (like the fund) focus their investments on value-oriented securities. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one-year period. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund’s classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes. The Board stated that it is difficult to evaluate in any comprehensive fashion the performance of the fund, in light of its relatively recent launch.

The Board has had thorough discussions with FMR throughout the year about the Board’s and FMR’s concerns about equity research, equity fund performance, and compliance with internal policies governing gifts and entertainment. FMR has taken steps that it believes will refocus and strengthen equity research and equity portfolio management and compliance. The Board noted with favor FMR’s recent reorganization of its senior management team and FMR’s plans to dedicate additional resources to investment research, and participated in the process that led to those changes.

Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services

provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund’s shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the fund’s shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund’s management fee and total expenses compared to “mapped groups” of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates “mapped groups” by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board’s management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.

The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month (or shorter) periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the “Total Mapped Group” and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. “TMG %” represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund’s. For example, a TMG % of 15% means that 85% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The “Asset-Size Peer Group” (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund’s standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile (“quadrant”) in which the fund’s management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Annual Report

56


The Board noted that the fund’s management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2004.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

In its review of each class’s total expenses, the Board considered the fund’s management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked above its competitive median for 2004. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Furthermore, the Board considered that on December 16, 2004, it had approved changes (effective January 1, 2005) in the transfer agent and service agreements for the fund that established maximum transfer agent fees and eliminated the minimum pricing and bookkeeping fee to prevent small funds or funds with small average account sizes from having relatively high fees in basis points (the “small-fund fee reductions”). The Board considered that, if the small-fund fee reductions had been in effect in 2004, the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class would have ranked below the median.

In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses for each class of the fund were reasonable, although in all cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity’s profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity’s profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year’s methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board’s assessment of the results of Fidelity’s profitability analysis. PwC’s engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity’s methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity’s mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC’s reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity’s profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

Annual Report

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity’s non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity’s affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund’s business. In addition, a special committee of the Board reviewed services provided to Fidelity by its affiliates and determined that the fees that Fidelity paid for such services were reasonable.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.

The Board recognized that the fund’s management contract incorporates a “group fee” structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR’s management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity’s costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR’s management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information regarding (i) equity fund transfer agency fees; (ii) Fidelity’s fund profitability methodology and the impact of various changes in the methodology over time; (iii) benefits to shareholders from economies of scale; (iv) composition and characteristics of various fund and industry data used in comparisons; and (v) compensation of portfolio managers and research analysts.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s existing Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

The trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The trust’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of non–audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non–audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non–audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non–audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non–Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre–approval by the Audit Committee. All Covered Services, as well as Non–Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair’s absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre–approval nor advance notice of Non–Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.

(e) (2)    Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of 
    Regulation S-X: 

Audit-Related Fees:

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004 on behalf of each fund.
