  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
  • Geographic Concentration in Canada. The Canadian economy can be significantly affected by the U.S. economy and the price of natural resources. Periodic demands by the Province of Quebec for sovereignty could significantly affect the Canadian market. A small number of companies and industries represent a large portion of the Canadian market, and these companies and industries can be sensitive to adverse political, economic, or regulatory developments.

<R>In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.</R>

Investment Objective

Japan Smaller Companies Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in securities of Japanese issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Smaller market capitalization issuers are those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the TOPIX Second Section or the JASDAQ Stock Index at the time of the fund's investment. Issuers whose capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase continue to be considered to have a smaller market capitalization for purposes of the 65% policy. As of October 31, 2000, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Second Section Stock Price Index included companies with capitalizations between $6.0 million and $6.0 billion and the JASDAQ Stock Index included companies with capitalizations between $1.8 million and $10.0 million. The size of companies in these indexes changes with market conditions and the composition of the indexes. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in Japanese issuers with larger market capitalizations and in non-Japanese issuers. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance. A fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR concentrates each fund's investments in a particular country or group of countries, each fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that country or group of countries and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the assets of each of Canada Fund, China Region Fund, Latin America Fund, and Nordic Fund in certain industries, the fund's performance could be affected to the extent that the particular industry or industries in which the fund invests are sensitive to adverse changes in economic or political conditions. In addition, because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the assets of each of <R>Canada Fund, </R>China Region Fund, <R>Emerging Markets Fund, </R>Japan Smaller Companies Fund, <R>Latin America Fund, </R>Nordic Fund<R>, and Southeast Asia Fund</R> in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to the market value of that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares of a fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Geographic Concentration. Political and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country could significantly affect the market in that country and in surrounding or related countries.

Asia. Asia includes countries in all stages of economic development, from the highly developed economy of Japan to the emerging market economy of the People's Republic of China. Most Asian economies are characterized by over-extension of credit, currency devaluations and restrictions, rising unemployment, high inflation, decreased exports, and economic recessions. Currency devaluations in any one country can have a significant effect on the entire region. Recently, the markets in each Asian country have suffered significant downturns as well as significant volatility. Increased political and social unrest in some or all Asian countries could cause further economic and market uncertainty.

The China Region economies are dependent on the economies of other Asian countries and can be significantly affected by currency fluctuations and increasing competition from Asia's other low-cost emerging economies. In addition, the Taiwanese economy can be significantly affected by security threats from the People's Republic of China. The willingness and ability of the Chinese government to support the Hong Kong and Chinese economies and markets is uncertain. China has yet to develop comprehensive securities, corporate, or commercial laws, and its market is relatively new and undeveloped. Changes in government policy could significantly affect the markets in both Hong Kong and China. A small number of industries, including the commercial banking industry, represent a large portion of the Hong Kong<R>, Taiwanese,</R> and Chinese market as a whole. The commercial banking industry can be significantly affected by interest rate and currency fluctuations, changes in market regulation, and political and economic developments in the Asian region. The China Region market also tends to be relatively concentrated in certain issuers. For example, as of October 31, 2000, HSBC Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. accounted for approximately 27%, and 11%, respectively, of the MSCI Golden Dragon Plus Index.

The Japanese economy is currently in a recession. The economy is characterized by government intervention and protectionism, an unstable financial services sector, and relatively high unemployment. Economic growth is dependent on international trade, government support of the financial services sector and other troubled sectors, and consistent government policy. The United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, but close to half of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of which are in Southeast Asia. The Japanese market, as represented by the TOPIX Second Section, tends to be relatively concentrated in certain issuers. For example, as of October 31, 2000, Fujitsu Ltd. accounted for approximately 11% of the TOPIX Second Section.

The Pacific Basin economies are in all stages of economic development. The majority of the economies in the region can be characterized as either developing or newly industrialized. Many of the Pacific Basin economies are deteriorating in recessions. Many of their economies are characterized by high inflation, undeveloped financial services sectors, and heavy reliance on international trade. Currency devaluations or restrictions, political and social instability, and general economic conditions have resulted in significant market downturns and volatility. The Australia and New Zealand economies are dependent on the economies of Asian countries and on the price and demand for agricultural products and natural resources.

The Southeast Asia economies are generally in recessions. Many of their economies are characterized by high inflation, undeveloped financial services sectors, and heavy reliance on international trade. Currency devaluations or restrictions, political and social instability, and general economic conditions have resulted in significant market downturns and volatility.

Canada. The Canadian and U.S. economies are closely integrated. The United States is Canada's largest trading partner and foreign investor. Canada is a major producer of forest products, metals, agricultural products, and energy-related products, such as oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. The Canadian economy is very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources, and the Canadian market is relatively concentrated in issuers involved in the production and distribution of natural resources. Periodic demands by the Province of Quebec for sovereignty could significantly affect the Canadian market. A small number of industries, including the telephone equipment industry, represent a large portion of the Canadian market. The telephone equipment industry can be significantly affected by increasing competition, rapid technological innovation, product obsolescence, acquisitions and business alliances, and the relative instability of markets in which a significant percentage of their products are sold. The Canadian market also tends to be relatively concentrated in certain issuers. For example, as of October 31, 2000, Nortel Networks accounted for approximately 23% of the TSE 300.

Europe. Europe includes both developed and emerging markets. Most developed countries in Western Europe are members of the European Union (EU), and many are also members of the EMU, which requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, and debt levels. Unemployment in Europe is historically high. Many Eastern European countries continue to move toward market economies. However, their markets remain relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. The tight fiscal and monetary controls necessary to join the EMU can significantly affect every country in Europe.

The Nordic economies are dependent on the export of natural resources and natural resource products. Efforts to comply with the EMU restrictions by Finland, Denmark, and Sweden have resulted in reduced government spending and higher unemployment. Norway has elected not to join the EU and the EMU and, as a result, has more flexibility to pursue different fiscal and economic goals. A small number of industries, including the television and radio communication equipment industry, represent a large portion of the Nordic market<R> as a whole</R>. The television and radio communications equipment industry can be significantly affected by increasing competition, rapid technological innovation, product obsolescence, acquisitions and business alliances, and the relative instability of markets in which a significant percentage of their products are sold. The Nordic market also tends to be relatively concentrated in certain issuers. For example, as of October 31, 2000, Nokia Corporation and Ericsson (LM) Telephone Co. accounted for approximately 32% and 16%, respectively, of the FT/S&P - Actuaries World Nordic Index.

Fund Basics - continued

Latin America. The economies of countries in Latin America are all considered emerging market economies. High interest, inflation, and unemployment rates generally characterize each economy. Currency devaluations in any country can have a significant affect on the entire region. Because commodities such as agricultural products, minerals, and metals represent a significant percentage of exports of many Latin American countries, the economies of those countries are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in commodity prices. Recently, the markets in many Latin American countries have experienced significant downturns as well as significant volatility. A small number of industries, including the telephone services industry, represent a large portion of the Latin American market <R>as a whole</R>. The telephone services industry can be significantly affected by increasing competition, government regulation, and financing difficulties. The Latin American market also tends to be relatively concentrated in certain issuers. For example, as of October 31, 2000, Telefonos De Mexico SA accounted for approximately 14% of the MSCI EMF-Latin America Index.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the value of an issuer's securities.

Small Cap Investing. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller issuers can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

Each fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of Europe Fund or Europe Capital Appreciation Fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge. The price to buy one share of Canada Fund, China Region Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Japan Fund, Japan Smaller Companies Fund, Latin America Fund, Nordic Fund, Pacific Basin Fund, or Southeast Asia Fund is the fund's offering price or the fund's NAV, depending on whether you pay a sales charge.

If you pay a sales charge, your price will be the fund's offering price. When you buy shares of a fund at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropriate sales charge and invests the rest in the fund. If you qualify for a sales charge waiver, your price will be the fund's NAV.

The offering price of Canada Fund, China Region Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Japan Fund, Japan Smaller Companies Fund, Latin America Fund, Nordic Fund, Pacific Basin Fund, or Southeast Asia Fund is the fund's NAV divided by the difference between one and the applicable sales charge percentage. The maximum sales charge is 3.00% of the offering price.

Shareholder Information - continued

Your shares will be bought at the next offering price or NAV, as applicable, calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

Short-term or excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, particularly from market timers or investors who, in FMR's opinion, have a pattern of short-term or excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

When you place an order to buy shares, note the following:

  • All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.
  • Fidelity does not accept cash.
  • When making a purchase with more than one check, each check must have a value of at least $50.
  • Fidelity reserves the right to limit the number of checks processed at one time.
  • If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.

Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when a fund is priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of each fund is the fund's NAV, minus the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), if applicable.

Canada Fund, China Region Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Japan Fund, Japan Smaller Companies Fund, Latin America Fund, Nordic Fund, Pacific Basin Fund, and Southeast Asia Fund will deduct a short-term trading fee of 1.50% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after holding them less than 90 days. Europe Fund and Europe Capital Appreciation Fund will deduct a short-term trading fee of 1.00% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days. Trading fees are paid to the funds rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies. The short-term trading fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

  • You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • Your account registration has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account;
  • The check is being mailed to a different address than the one on your account (record address);
  • The check is being made payable to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your shares, leave at least $2,000 worth of shares in the account to keep it open ($500 for retirement accounts), except accounts not subject to account minimums.
  • Normally, Fidelity will process redemptions by the next business day, but Fidelity may take up to seven days to process redemptions if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.
  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • Unless otherwise instructed, Fidelity will send a check to the record address.

To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. Each fund no longer issues share certificates.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • You may exchange only between accounts that are registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
  • Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • Each fund may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
  • The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials for further information.
  • Each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

The funds may terminate or modify the exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements and reports that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

  • Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your account balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
  • Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing account balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).
  • Financial reports (every six months).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in the household holds shares of a fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 5000, Cincinnati, Ohio 45273-8692.

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

When you sign your account application, you will be asked to certify that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.

Fidelity may deduct an annual maintenance fee of $12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500 (including any amount paid as a sales charge), subject to an annual maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will not be deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the $30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating accounts with Fidelity maintained by Fidelity Service Company, Inc. or FBS LLC which are registered under the same social security number or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.

If your account balance falls below $2,000 (except accounts not subject to account minimums), you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable, on the day your account is closed.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following options may be available for each fund's distributions:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, call Fidelity.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, each fund's dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income, while each fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed 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.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

For China Region Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Japan Smaller Companies Fund, Latin America Fund, and Nordic Fund, the fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

For Canada Fund, Europe Fund, Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, Japan Fund, Pacific Basin Fund, and Southeast Asia Fund, the fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well Canada Fund has performed relative to the TSE 300, Europe Fund has performed relative to the MSCI Europe Index, Europe Capital Appreciation Fund has performed relative to the MSCI Europe Index, Japan Fund has performed relative to the TOPIX, Pacific Basin Fund has performed relative to the MSCI Pacific Index, or Southeast Asia Fund has performed relative to the MSCI AC Far East Free ex Japan Index.

<R>For the period prior to April 1, 2001, Pacific Basin compared its performance to the MSCI Pacific Index. For the period beginning April 1, 2001, Pacific Basin compares its performance to the MSCI AC Pacific Free Index. Because the performance adjustment is based on a rolling 36 month measurement period, during a transition period Pacific Basin's performance will be compared to a blended index return that reflects the performance of the MSCI AC Pacific Free Index for the portion of the 36 month performance measurement period beginning April 1, 2001 and the performance of the MSCI Pacific Index for the remainder of the measurement period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the MSCI Pacific Index will be eliminated from the performance adjustment calculation, and the calculation will include only the performance of the MSCI AC Pacific Free Index.</R>

Management fee

=

Basic fee

+/-

Performance adjustment

The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by a fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For October 2000, the group fee rate was 0.2755%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.45% for each fund.

The basic fee for Canada Fund, Europe Fund, and Europe Capital Appreciation Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, was 0.72% of the fund's average net assets. The basic fee for Japan Fund and Southeast Asia Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, was 0.73% of the fund's average net assets. The basic fee for Pacific Basin Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, was 0.74% of the fund's average net assets.

The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period Canada Fund's performance to that of the TSE 300, Europe Fund's performance to that of the MSCI Europe Index, Europe Capital Appreciation Fund's performance to that of the MSCI Europe Index, Japan Fund's performance to that of the TOPIX, Pacific Basin Fund's performance to that of the MSCI Pacific Index, and Southeast Asia Fund's performance to that of the MSCI AC Far East Free ex Japan Index.

For Canada Fund, Europe Fund, Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, Japan Fund, Pacific Basin Fund, and Southeast Asia Fund, the performance period is the most recent 36 month period.

The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.

The total management fee, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, for each fund is shown in the table below.

2. To shares in a Fidelity account bought with the proceeds of a distribution from an employee benefit plan, provided that at the time of the distribution, the employer or its affiliate maintained a plan that both qualified for waiver (1) above and had at least some of its assets invested in Fidelity-managed products.

12. If you are a registered investment adviser (RIA) buying for
your discretionary accounts, provided you execute a Fidelity RIA load waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating provisions. Except for correspondents of National Financial Services LLC (NFS), this waiver is available only for shares bought directly from Fidelity, and is unavailable if the RIA is part of an organization principally engaged in the brokerage business.

13. If you are a trust institution or bank trust department buying for your non-discretionary, non-retirement fiduciary accounts, provided you execute a Fidelity Trust load waiver agreement which specifies certain aggregate minimum and operating provisions. This waiver is available only for shares bought either directly from Fidelity or through a bank-affiliated broker, and is unavailable if the trust department or institution is part of an organization not principally engaged in banking or trust activities.

More detailed information about waivers (1), (2), (5), (9), (10), and (12) is contained in the statement of additional information (SAI). A representative of your plan or organization should call Fidelity for more information.

To qualify for a sales charge reduction or waiver, you must notify Fidelity in advance of your purchase.

<R>Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments. </R>

<R>If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.</R>

To receive sales concessions<R> and payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan</R>, qualified recipients must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of a fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

Global Balanced Fund seeks income and capital growth consistent with reasonable risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Investing in equity and debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, issued anywhere in the world.
  • Investing at least 25% of the fund's total assets in fixed-income senior securities (including debt securities and preferred stock).
  • Allocating investments across countries and regions considering the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the world market as a whole.
  • Analyzing an issuer using fundamental factors and evaluating each security's current price relative to estimated long-term value to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
  • Prepayment. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

When you sell your shares of the fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

Investment Objective

International Growth & Income Fund seeks capital growth and current income, consistent with reasonable investment risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

  • Normally investing at least 65% of total assets in foreign securities.
  • Normally investing a majority of the fund's assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation.
  • Potentially investing in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities.
  • Allocating investments across countries and regions considering the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole.
  • Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.

Fidelity Global Balanced Composite Index is a hypothetical representation of the performance of the fund's general investment categories and uses a weighting of 60% equity and 40% bond. The following indexes are used to calculate the composite index: equity - the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index, and bond - the Salomon Smith Barney World Government Bond Index. The index weightings of the composite index are rebalanced monthly.

A portion of the brokerage commissions that a fund pays is used to reduce that fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with each fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the total fund operating expenses are shown in the table below:

This example helps you compare the cost of investing in the funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5% and that your shareholder fees and each fund's annual operating expenses are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you close your account at the end of each time period indicated.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

Global Balanced Fund seeks income and capital growth consistent with reasonable risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR invests the fund's assets in equity and debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, issued anywhere in the world, including the United States. The proportions of the fund's assets invested in each type of security vary based on FMR's interpretation of economic conditions and underlying security values. However, FMR always invests at least 25% of the fund's total assets in fixed-income senior securities (including debt securities and preferred stock).

FMR normally diversifies the fund's investments across different countries and regions. In allocating the fund's investments across countries and regions, FMR will consider the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the world market as a whole.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors (e.g., growth potential, earnings estimates, and management) and evaluates each security's current price relative to its estimated long-term value.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

International Growth & Income Fund seeks capital growth and current income, consistent with reasonable investment risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 65% of the fund's total assets in foreign securities. FMR normally invests a majority of the fund's assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation. However, FMR may invest the fund's assets in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, as well as equity securities that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.

FMR normally diversifies the fund's investments across different countries and regions. In allocating the fund's investments across countries and regions, FMR will consider the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR uses a disciplined approach that involves computer-aided, quantitative analysis supported by fundamental analysis. FMR's computer model systematically reviews thousands of stocks, using data such as historical earnings, dividend yield, earnings per share, and other quantitative factors. Then, the issuers of potential investments are analyzed further using fundamental factors such as growth potential, earnings estimates, and financial condition.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance. A fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares of a fund, they could be worth more or less than what you paid for them.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect the credit quality or value of an issuer's securities. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

Quantitative Investing. The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security's value. In addition, factors that affect a security's value can change over time and these changes may not be reflected in the quantitative model.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is closed, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on days when the fund is not open for business. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

Each fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

Short-term or excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, particularly from market timers or investors who, in FMR's opinion, have a pattern of short-term or excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of each fund is the fund's NAV, minus the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), if applicable.

Each fund will deduct a short-term trading fee of 1.00% from the redemption amount if you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days. Trading fees are paid to the funds rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies. The short-term trading fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions.

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

  • You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • Your account registration has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account;
  • The check is being mailed to a different address than the one on your account (record address);
  • The check is being made payable to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your Global Balanced, International Growth & Income, Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas, or Worldwide shares, leave at least $2,000 worth of shares in the account to keep it open ($500 for retirement accounts), except accounts not subject to account minimums.
  • Normally, Fidelity will process redemptions by the next business day, but Fidelity may take up to seven days to process redemptions if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.
  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • Unless otherwise instructed, Fidelity will send a check to the record address.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • You may exchange only between accounts that are registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
  • Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • Each fund may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
  • The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials for further information.
  • Each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.

The funds may terminate or modify the exchange privilege in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Account Features and Policies

Features

The following features are available to buy and sell shares of the funds.

Automatic Investment and Withdrawal Programs. Fidelity offers convenient services that let you automatically transfer money into your account, between accounts, or out of your account. While automatic investment programs do not guarantee a profit and will not protect you against loss in a declining market, they can be an excellent way to invest for retirement, a home, educational expenses, and other long-term financial goals. Automatic withdrawal or exchange programs can be a convenient way to provide a consistent income flow or to move money between your investments.

Policies

The following policies apply to you as a shareholder.

Statements and reports that Fidelity sends to you include the following:

  • Confirmation statements (after transactions affecting your account balance except reinvestment of distributions in the fund or another fund and certain transactions through automatic investment or withdrawal programs).
  • Monthly or quarterly account statements (detailing account balances and all transactions completed during the prior month or quarter).
  • Financial reports (every six months).

To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in the household holds shares of a fund. Call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544 if you need additional copies of financial reports or prospectuses. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, contact Fidelity in writing at P.O. Box 5000, Cincinnati, Ohio 45273-8692.

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

When you sign your account application, you will be asked to certify that your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.

Fidelity may deduct an annual maintenance fee of $12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will not be deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment plans, or if total assets with Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the $30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating accounts with Fidelity maintained by Fidelity Service Company, Inc. or FBS LLC which are registered under the same social security number or which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.

If your account balance falls below $2,000 (except accounts not subject to account minimums), you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable, on the day your account is closed.

Shareholder Information - continued

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Global Balanced normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in September and December.

Each of International Growth & Income, Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas, and Worldwide normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following options may be available for each fund's distributions:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.

3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.

4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, call Fidelity.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.

Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.

For federal tax purposes, each fund's dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income, while each fund's distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.

Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in a fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed 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.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

For Global Balanced<R> and </R>International Growth & Income, the fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

<R>For Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas, and Worldwide, the fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well Diversified International has performed relative to a blend of the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted EAFE Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index or Aggressive International has performed relative to a blend of the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index and the MSCI AC World Index Free ex USA or Overseas has performed relative to the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index or Worldwide has performed relative to the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index. For fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, Worldwide did not have performance adjustment.</R>

For the period prior to August 1, 1999, Diversified International compared its performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted EAFE Index. For the period beginning August 1, 1999, Diversified International compares its performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index. Because the performance adjustment is based on a rolling 36 month measurement period, during a transition period Diversified International's performance will be compared to a blended index return that reflects the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index for the portion of the 36 month performance measurement period beginning August 1, 1999 and the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted EAFE Index for the remainder of the measurement period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted EAFE Index will be eliminated from the performance adjustment calculation, and the calculation will include only the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index.

<R>For the period prior to March 1, 2001, Aggressive International compared its performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index. For the period beginning March 1, 2001, Aggressive International compares its performance to the MSCI AC World Index Free ex USA. Because the performance adjustment is based on a rolling 36 month measurement period, during a transition period Aggressive International's performance will be compared to a blended index return that reflects the performance of the MSCI AC World Index Free ex USA for the portion of the 36 month performance measurement period beginning March 1, 2001 and the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index for the remainder of the measurement period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index will be eliminated from the performance adjustment calculation, and the calculation will include only the performance of the MSCI AC World Index Free ex USA. </R>

<R>For the period prior to April 1, 2001, Worldwide did not have a performance adjustment. During a transition period from April 1, 2001 to March 1, 2002, there will be no performance adjustment for Worldwide and the fund's management fee will equal the basic fee rate. Beginning March 1, 2002, the fund's performance adjustment will take effect and the fund will compare it performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index. The performance period will consist of the current month plus the pervious eleven months. Thereafter, a new month will be added until the performance period equals 36 months. Subsequently, the performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months.</R>

<R>Management fee

Basic fee

+/-

Performance adjustment</R>

The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by a fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For October 2000, the group fee rate was 0.2755% for Global Balanced, International Growth & Income, Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas, and Worldwide. The individual fund fee rate is 0.45% for Global Balanced, International Growth & Income, Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas and Worldwide.

The basic fee for Diversified International, Aggressive International, and Overseas for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000 was 0.72%, 0.73%, and 0.73%, respectively, of the fund's average net assets.

<R>The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period Diversified International's performance to that of a blend of the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted EAFE Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index or Aggressive International's performance to that of a blend of the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index and the MSCI AC World Index Free ex USA or Overseas's performance to that of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index or Worldwide's performance to that of the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index.</R>

For Diversified International, Aggressive International, and Overseas, the performance period is the most recent 36 month period.

<R>For Worldwide, the performance period will begin on April 1, 2001 and will eventually include 36 months. The performance adjustment will not take effect until March 1, 2002.</R>

The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.

The total management fee, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, for each fund is shown in the table below.

FMR pays FMR U.K., FMR Far East, and FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FIIA or FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR will pay FMRC for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes each fund's shares.

Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions in a manner that takes into account the sale of shares of a fund, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

<R>The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Management Fees" in the "Management Contracts" section on page 53.</R>

<R>For the services of FMR under the management contract, Canada Fund, Europe Fund, Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, Japan Fund, Pacific Basin Fund and Southeast Asia Fund each pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a basic fee, which is the sum of a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate, and a performance adjustment based on a comparison of Canada Fund's performance to that of the TSE 300, Europe Fund's performance to that of the MSCI Europe Index, Europe Capital Appreciation Fund's performance to that of the MSCI Europe Index, Japan Fund's performance to that of the TOPIX, Pacific Basin Fund's performance to that of a blend of the performance of the MSCI Pacific Index and the MSCI AC Pacific Free Index or Southeast Asia Fund's performance to that of the MSCI AC Far East Free ex Japan Index.</R>

<R>The following information replaces the first paragraph found under the heading "Computing the Performance Adjustment" in the "Management Contracts" section on page 55.</R>

<R></R>Computing the Performance Adjustment. The basic fee for each of Canada Fund, Europe Fund, Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, Japan Fund, Pacific Basin Fund, and Southeast Asia Fund 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 the TSE 300 for Canada Fund, the MSCI Europe Index for Europe Fund, the MSCI Europe Index for Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, the TOPIX for Japan Fund, a blend of the MSCI Pacific Index and MSCI AC Pacific Free Index for Pacific Basin Fund, or the MSCI AC Far East Free ex Japan Index for Southeast Asia Fund. The performance period consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.

<R>For the period prior to April 1, 2001, Pacific Basin Fund compares its performance to the MSCI Pacific Index (Prior Index). For the period beginning April 1, 2001, Pacific Basin Fund compares its performance to the MSCI AC Pacific Free Index (Current Index). Because the performance adjustment is based on a rolling 36 month measurement period, during a transition period Pacific Basin Fund's performance will be compared to a 36 month blended index return that reflects the performance of the Current Index for the portion of the 36 month performance measurement period beginning April 1, 2001 and the performance of the Prior Index for the remainder of the measurement period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the Prior Index will be eliminated from the performance adjustment calculation, and the calculation will include only the performance of the Current Index.</R>

<R>The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Computing the Performance Adjustment" in the "Management Contracts" section on page 55.</R>

<R>The record of each of the following Indexes: the TSE 300 (for Canada Fund), the MSCI Europe Index (for Europe Fund and Europe Capital Appreciation Fund), the TOPIX (for Japan Fund), and the MSCI AC Far East Free ex Japan Index (for Southeast Asia Fund) is based on change in value and is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose each fund's respective Index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on a fund's performance compared to the investment record of the applicable Index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of the Index. The records of the MSCI Pacific Index and the MSCI AC Pacific Free Index for Pacific Basin Fund are based on change in value and each is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the Index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on Pacific Basin Fund's performance compared to the blended investment records of the MSCI Pacific Index and the MSCI AC Pacific Free Index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the blended records of the Indexes. Moreover, the comparative investment performance of each fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.</R>

<R>The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Sub-Advisers" in the "Management Contracts" section on page 58.</R>

  • FIIA pays FIJ a fee equal to a percentage of the fund's monthly average net assets managed by FIJ on a discretionary basis.

The following information supplements the information found in the "Distribution Services" section beginning on page 60.

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of <R>each fund</R> (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute indirect payment by the funds of distribution expenses.

Under <R>each</R> Pla<R>n</R>, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Fidelity Canada Fund, Fidelity China Region Fund, Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, Fidelity Europe Fund, <R>Fidelity Japan Fund, Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund,</R> Fidelity Latin America Fund, Fidelity Nordic Fund, <R>Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund,</R> and Fidelity Southeast Asia Fund shares.

Prior to approving <R>each</R> Pla<R>n</R>, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or supervised banks from directly engaging in the business of underwriting, selling or distributing securities. FDC believes that the Glass-Steagall Act should not preclude a bank from performing shareholder support services, or servicing and recordkeeping functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to perform such functions. However, changes in federal or state statutes and regulations pertaining to the permissible activities of banks, as well as further judicial or administrative decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions, if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and effective shareholder services. In such event, changes in the operation of the funds might occur, including possible termination of any automatic investment or redemption or other services then provided by the bank. It is not expected that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be required to register as dealers pursuant to state law.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Distribution Services" section on page 61.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

The following information replaces the first paragraphs found under the heading "Computing the Performance Adjustment" in the "Management Contracts" section on page 43.

Computing the Performance Adjustment. The basic fee for Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas, and Worldwide 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 blend of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International All-Country World Index Free ex USA for Aggressive International; a blend of the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted Europe, Australasia and Far East Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index for Diversified International; the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index for Overseas; or the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index for Worldwide. For Diversified International, Aggressive International, and Overseas, the performance period consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.

For the period prior to March 1, 2001, Aggressive International compares its performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (Prior Index). For the period beginning March 1, 2001, Aggressive International compares its performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International All-Country World Index Free ex USA (Current Index). Because the performance adjustment is based on a rolling 36 month measurement period, during a transition period Aggressive International's performance will be compared to a 36 month blended index return that reflects the performance of the Current Index for the portion of the 36 month performance measurement period beginning March 1, 2001 and the performance of the Prior Index for the remainder of the measurement period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the Prior Index will be eliminated from the performance adjustment calculation, and the calculation will include only the performance of the Current Index.

For the period prior to April 1, 2001, Worldwide paid FMR for services under the management contract a monthly management fee that had two components: a group fee and and individual fund fee rate. As of April 1, 2001, for the services of FMR under the management contract, Worldwide pays FMR a monthly management fee that has two components: a basic fee, which is the sum of the group fee and individual fund fee rate, and a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment will be implemented prospectively. For the first eleven months there will be no performance adjustment and the fund's management fee will equal the Basic Fee rate. Starting with the twelfth month, the performance adjustment will take effect and the management fee will be adjusted upward or downward, depending on the fund's performance relative to its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index. Each month subsequent to the twelfth month, a new month is added to the performance period until the performance period includes 36 months. Thereafter the performance period will consist of the current month plus the pervious 35 months. If the Trustees determine that another index is appropriate for Worldwide, they may designate a successor index to be substituted.

The following information replaces the seventh paragraph found under the heading "Computing the Performance Adjustment" in the "Management Contracts" section on page 43.

The record of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index is based on change in value and is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the Index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on Overseas's performance compared to the investment record of the Index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index. The record of the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index is based on change in value and is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the Index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on Worldwide's performance compared to the investment record of the Index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index. The records of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International All-Country World Index Free Ex USA for Aggressive International are based on change in value and each is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the Index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on Aggressive International's performance compared to the blended investment records of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index and Morgan Stanley Capital International All-Country World Index Free Ex USA , the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the blended records of the Indexes. The records of the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted Europe, Australasia and Far East Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index for Diversified International are based on change in value and each is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the Index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on Diversified International's performance compared to the blended investment records of the Morgan Stanley Capital International GDP-Weighted Europe, Australasia and Far East Index and Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the blended records of the Indexes. Moreover, the comparative investment performance of each fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.
