1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Canada Fund, Fidelity China Region Fund, Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Europe Fund, Fidelity Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, Fidelity Japan Fund, Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund, Fidelity Latin America Fund, Fidelity Nordic Fund, Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund and Fidelity Southeast Asia Fund (the funds) are funds of Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Certain funds' investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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

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

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

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

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

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in Canada, China Region, Emerging Markets, Japan, Japan Smaller Companies, Latin America, Nordic, Pacific Basin and Southeast Asia less than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. Shares held in Europe and Europe Capital Appreciation less than 30 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. These fees, which are retained by the funds, are accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

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

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

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

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the funds with investment management related services for which the funds pay a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each fund's average net assets. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee for Canada, Europe, Europe Capital Appreciation, Japan, Pacific Basin, and Southeast Asia is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum ±.20% of each applicable fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to

Sales Load. Effective February 25, 2003, Canada, China Region, Emerging Markets, Japan, Japan Smaller Companies, Latin America, Nordic, Pacific Basin and Southeast Asia's 3% sales charge was eliminated. Shares of Canada, Europe, and Pacific Basin purchased prior to October 12, 1990, are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption. The amounts received and retained by Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, are shown under the caption "Other Information" on each fund's Statement of Operations.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:

Brokerage Commissions. Certain funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding each applicable fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

Semiannual Report

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain funds provided services to these funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable fund's expenses.

* When you call the quotes line, please remember that a fund's yield and return will vary and, except for money market funds, share price will also vary. This means that you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. There is no assurance that money market funds will be able to maintain a stable $1 share price; an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Total returns are historical and include changes in share price, reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and the effects of any sales charges.

A Annualized BTotal returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. C Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown. D Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. E Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $.04 per share. F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund. G Effective November 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. Per share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change. H Amount represents less than $.01 per-share.

A Annualized B Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. C Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown. D Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. E The amount shown for a share outstanding does not correspond with the aggregate net gain (loss) on investments for the period due to the timing of sales and repurchases of shares in relation to fluctuating market values of the investments of the fund. F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund. G Amount represents less than $.01 per-share.

Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from directed brokerage or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund. F Amount represents less than $.01 per-share.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Global Balanced Fund, Fidelity International Growth & Income Fund, Fidelity Diversified International Fund, Fidelity Aggressive International Fund, Fidelity Overseas Fund, Fidelity Worldwide Fund and Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the funds) are funds of Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. On March 20, 2003, the Board of Trustees of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund approved the creation of additional classes of shares; Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares. Each class will differ with respect to its distribution and service plan, front-end sales load and contingent deferred sales charges. Offering of these new classes of shares commenced on May 27, 2003. Certain funds' investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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

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

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

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

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

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of each applicable fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked to market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Prepaid Expenses. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears all organizational expenses of each applicable fund, except for the cost of registering and qualifying new shares for distribution under federal and state securities law. These registration expenses are borne by each applicable fund and amortized over one year.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences

are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and futures transactions.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows for each fund:

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in Global Balanced, International Growth & Income, Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas and Worldwide less than 30 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. Shares held in International Small Cap less than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 2% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. These fees, which are retained by the funds, are accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. Certain funds may use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption Futures Contracts. This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

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

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

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

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the funds with investment management related services for which the funds pay a monthly management fee.

Semiannual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Management Fee - continued

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each fund's average net assets. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee for Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas and Worldwide is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum ±.20% of each applicable fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on each fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. International Small Cap's performance adjustment will not take effect until September, 2003. Subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. Worldwide's performance adjustment took effect in March, 2002. Subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. For the period, each fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets, including the performance adjustment, if applicable, was as follows:

Sales Load.

The amounts received by FDC, if any, are shown under the caption "Other Information" on the fund's Statement of Operations.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains each fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from the Central Funds are noted in the table below:

5. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

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

7. Expense Reductions.

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

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain funds provided services to these funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
