President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

April's weak stock market performance dragged the majority of broad-based, large-capitalization equity indexes into negative territory through the first four months of 2002. However, small- and mid-cap value stocks rose above the tide based on their more attractive valuations and strong current earnings growth. April's equity woes proved beneficial for most fixed-income categories, particularly Treasury and government securities. Year to date, nearly every category of the bond market had positive returns.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund - Class A

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the class' income as reflected in its yield to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Class A's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on September 7, 1999. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class A's returns to the performance of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the high current yield funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 392 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity ® Advisor High Income Fund - Class A on September 7, 1999, when the fund started, and the current 4.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by April 30, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $10,296 - a 2.96% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $10,341 - a 3.41% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Reflecting renewed optimism in the high-yield market, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield bond performance - gained 6.16% during the six-month period ending April 30, 2002. Investor demand for higher yields and their willingness to assume more risk drove positive flows into high-yield mutual funds during the period. In addition, growing positive sentiment about a potential economic recovery contributed to a narrowing in the yield spread between high-yield bonds and Treasury bonds. The index's relatively strong performance was driven by a broad group of industries. Some of the larger sectors in the index that posted positive returns were gaming (12.60%), energy (7.27%), and health care (5.92%). The two largest sectors, cable TV (-2.89%) and telecommunications (-8.67%) were notable underperformers. In the cable sector, Adelphia Communications - the second-largest issuer of high yield bonds - disclosed significant off-balance-sheet liabilities. In the telecommunications sector, prices declined on investors' concerns regarding the Global Crossing and McLeod bankruptcies, negative earnings announcements from Level 3 Communications, and a growing number of telecom fallen angels that appeared poised to enter the market. Investors were willing to seek investment opportunities in issues paying interest on a deferred basis and issues in the lower credit quality tiers, leaving prices in these market segments higher.

An interview with Matthew Conti, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund

Q. Matt, how did the fund perform?

A. For the six months that ended April 30, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares provided total returns of 3.40%, 3.35%, 3.02% and 2.96%, respectively. The fund's benchmark, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 6.16%, while the high current yield funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 5.13%. For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 3.87%, 3.77%, 3.10% and 2.99%, respectively. The Merrill Lynch index returned 3.49%, while the Lipper average returned 1.06%.

Q. Why did the fund's performance trail its benchmarks during the past six months?

A. Interestingly, the very positioning that helped the fund through most of a difficult market in 2001 detracted from performance during the past six months. The fund had minimal exposure to the aggressive CCC-rated tier, which outperformed higher-rated issues by a large margin during the period. Other disappointments were security specific. Falling victim to competitive pressures and a poor holiday selling season, Kmart ran into liquidity problems and filed for bankruptcy protection in January. I sold Kmart bonds during the period. Rite Aid declined on weaker-than-expected earnings. Adelphia disclosed a significant amount of off-balance-sheet debt, which hampered its performance. Telewest bonds suffered from speculation about a possible restructuring. The fund continues to hold Rite Aid bonds, while exposure to Adelphia was lowered and Telewest bonds were sold.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Which investments performed well?

A. Owens-Illinois' bonds were a top performer, based on improved free cash flow from its glass manufacturing business and better visibility on its asbestos liabilities. Courtyard by Marriott rebounded with the overall lodging market. In addition, Cinemark gained as its free cash flow improved with the recovering movie theater sector. The fund also benefited from its position in Pennzoil-Quaker State after AAA-rated Royal Dutch Shell announced it would acquire the company. Similarly, Fox Family bonds appreciated after being acquired by Disney, an investment-grade company.

Q. How did the fund's positioning change during the past six months?

A. Most significantly, I reduced the fund's cable TV holdings. Competition from direct broadcast satellite providers, combined with increasing capital expenditure costs for new services, are limiting free cash flow expectations. While demand should continue to be strong for their new digital television and high-speed Internet services, it might be several years before these revenues contribute significantly to the bottom line. I used proceeds from these sales to buy securities of gaming/lodging companies with depressed valuations in the fourth quarter of 2001. I also added some energy names given the positive, long-term natural gas outlook and more attractive security prices early in the period. In the homebuilding sector, I added names expected to potentially benefit as excess cash flow goes to reduce debt.

Q. How does credit quality factor into your investment approach?

A. The fund has adopted an investment policy to use the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index as a general guide in structuring the credit quality composition of the portfolio. That means that the credit quality make-up of the fund should be similar to that of the overall high yield bond market, although compared to the index, I expect the fund to be less heavily invested in the lower quality CCC, CC and C-rated credit tiers. The fund also has modified its policy to limit common stocks and non-income producing debt securities to 10% of total assets. Going forward, only common stocks will be limited to 10%. I don't expect shareholders to notice a change in how the fund is run as a result of this change in policy.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I'm focused on companies that I expect to potentially generate substantial free cash flow. In this market, it's likely that companies with defined, provable cash flows will be valued higher than those with complex stories. The economy appears to be improving, but rating quality downgrades and fallen angels - former investment-grade credits - remain a concern. There continues to be risk aversion in the market, exacerbated by factors such as the accounting irregularities making news. Monetary conditions are unlikely to improve from here, although the high-yield market is not as sensitive to interest rate movements as other fixed-income asset classes. On the positive side, the current default rate of over 10% is near its historical high and could start to gradually decline as problem companies fall by the wayside. Improving credit quality in the market could bode well for future steady returns. Using Fidelity's proprietary research to minimize default risk remains a key performance factor.

Matthew Conti discusses his investment philosophy:

"My investment philosophy emphasizes not only business fundamentals but also the influence a security's credit quality, diversification and income characteristics will have on the overall portfolio. For example, during the past six months, the fund outperformed in months when the market was weak and fell short when the market was strong. I position the fund to have less ´beta,' or sensitivity to changes in the market, than the benchmark. I believe the asymmetrical returns of the high-yield market - where bond prices can decline precipitously, but only rise to some margin over par - make it judicious to position the fund in the upper credit tiers of the investment universe. I aim to minimize default risk while generating high income. The ´win by not losing' mantra could apply to my investment strategy. The fund's lack of concentration in favor of more diversification is also characteristic of my investment philosophy. In addition, I focus on the securities within a company's capital structure that are paying current cash interest versus securities paying interest on a deferred basis. This tends to lower the volatility of returns over time. For similar reasons, I limit exposure to equity-like and distressed securities. As a result, most of the fund's return comes from cash interest income rather than capital appreciation."

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their most recent bid price in the principal market (sales price if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which 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 ADR's, 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 at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

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

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

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

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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. The fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

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.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Semiannual Report

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Change in Accounting Principle. 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. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on total net assets of the fund, but resulted in a $228,695 increase to the cost of securities held and a corresponding increase to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss), based on securities held by the fund on November 1, 2001.

The effect of this change during the period, was to increase net investment income by $264,913, decrease net unrealized appreciation/depreciation by $159,382, and decrease net realized gain (loss) by $105,531. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

2. Operating Policies - continued

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

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the 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 the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

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

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

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

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

April's weak stock market performance dragged the majority of broad-based, large-capitalization equity indexes into negative territory through the first four months of 2002. However, small- and mid-cap value stocks rose above the tide based on their more attractive valuations and strong current earnings growth. April's equity woes proved beneficial for most fixed-income categories, particularly Treasury and government securities. Year to date, nearly every category of the bond market had positive returns.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund - Institutional Class

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the class' income as reflected in its yield to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on September 7, 1999. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare Institutional Class' returns to the performance of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the high current yield funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 392 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity ® Advisor High Income Fund - Institutional Class on September 7, 1999, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by April 30, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $10,867 - an 8.67% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $10,341 - a 3.41% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula based on the yields of the securities in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the yield would have been 7.85%.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Reflecting renewed optimism in the high-yield market, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield bond performance - gained 6.16% during the six-month period ending April 30, 2002. Investor demand for higher yields and their willingness to assume more risk drove positive flows into high-yield mutual funds during the period. In addition, growing positive sentiment about a potential economic recovery contributed to a narrowing in the yield spread between high-yield bonds and Treasury bonds. The index's relatively strong performance was driven by a broad group of industries. Some of the larger sectors in the index that posted positive returns were gaming (12.60%), energy (7.27%), and health care (5.92%). The two largest sectors, cable TV (-2.89%) and telecommunications (-8.67%) were notable underperformers. In the cable sector, Adelphia Communications - the second-largest issuer of high yield bonds - disclosed significant off-balance-sheet liabilities. In the telecommunications sector, prices declined on investors' concerns regarding the Global Crossing and McLeod bankruptcies, negative earnings announcements from Level 3 Communications, and a growing number of telecom fallen angels that appeared poised to enter the market. Investors were willing to seek investment opportunities in issues paying interest on a deferred basis and issues in the lower credit quality tiers, leaving prices in these market segments higher.

An interview with Matthew Conti, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund

Q. Matt, how did the fund perform?

A. For the six months that ended April 30, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 3.59%. The fund's benchmark, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 6.16%, while the high current yield funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 5.13%. For the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 4.16%. Meanwhile, the Merrill Lynch index returned 3.49% and the Lipper average returned 1.06%.

Q. Why did the fund's performance trail its benchmarks during the past six months?

A. Interestingly, the very positioning that helped the fund through most of a difficult market in 2001 detracted from performance during the past six months. The fund had minimal exposure to the aggressive CCC-rated tier, which outperformed higher-rated issues by a large margin during the period. Other disappointments were security specific. Falling victim to competitive pressures and a poor holiday selling season, Kmart ran into liquidity problems and filed for bankruptcy protection in January. I sold Kmart bonds during the period. Rite Aid declined on weaker-than-expected earnings. Adelphia disclosed a significant amount of off-balance-sheet debt, which hampered its performance. Telewest bonds suffered from speculation about a possible restructuring. The fund continues to hold Rite Aid bonds, while exposure to Adelphia was lowered and Telewest bonds were sold.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Which investments performed well?

A. Owens-Illinois' bonds were a top performer, based on improved free cash flow from its glass manufacturing business and better visibility on its asbestos liabilities. Courtyard by Marriott rebounded with the overall lodging market. In addition, Cinemark gained as its free cash flow improved with the recovering movie theater sector. The fund also benefited from its position in Pennzoil-Quaker State after AAA-rated Royal Dutch Shell announced it would acquire the company. Similarly, Fox Family bonds appreciated after being acquired by Disney, an investment-grade company.

Q. How did the fund's positioning change during the past six months?

A. Most significantly, I reduced the fund's cable TV holdings. Competition from direct broadcast satellite providers, combined with increasing capital expenditure costs for new services, are limiting free cash flow expectations. While demand should continue to be strong for their new digital television and high-speed Internet services, it might be several years before these revenues contribute significantly to the bottom line. I used proceeds from these sales to buy securities of gaming/lodging companies with depressed valuations in the fourth quarter of 2001. I also added some energy names given the positive, long-term natural gas outlook and more attractive security prices early in the period. In the homebuilding sector, I added names expected to potentially benefit as excess cash flow goes to reduce debt.

Q. How does credit quality factor into your investment approach?

A. The fund has adopted an investment policy to use the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index as a general guide in structuring the credit quality composition of the portfolio. That means that the credit quality make-up of the fund should be similar to that of the overall high yield bond market, although compared to the index, I expect the fund to be less heavily invested in the lower quality CCC, CC and C-rated credit tiers. The fund also has modified its policy to limit common stocks and non-income producing debt securities to 10% of total assets. Going forward, only common stocks will be limited to 10%. I don't expect shareholders to notice a change in how the fund is run as a result of this change in policy.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I'm focused on companies that I expect to potentially generate substantial free cash flow. In this market, it's likely that companies with defined, provable cash flows will be valued higher than those with complex stories. The economy appears to be improving, but rating quality downgrades and fallen angels - former investment-grade credits - remain a concern. There continues to be risk aversion in the market, exacerbated by factors such as the accounting irregularities making news. Monetary conditions are unlikely to improve from here, although the high-yield market is not as sensitive to interest rate movements as other fixed-income asset classes. On the positive side, the current default rate of over 10% is near its historical high and could start to gradually decline as problem companies fall by the wayside. Improving credit quality in the market could bode well for future steady returns. Using Fidelity's proprietary research to minimize default risk remains a key performance factor.

Matthew Conti discusses his investment philosophy:

"My investment philosophy emphasizes not only business fundamentals but also the influence a security's credit quality, diversification and income characteristics will have on the overall portfolio. For example, during the past six months, the fund outperformed in months when the market was weak and fell short when the market was strong. I position the fund to have less ´beta,' or sensitivity to changes in the market, than the benchmark. I believe the asymmetrical returns of the high-yield market - where bond prices can decline precipitously, but only rise to some margin over par - make it judicious to position the fund in the upper credit tiers of the investment universe. I aim to minimize default risk while generating high income. The ´win by not losing' mantra could apply to my investment strategy. The fund's lack of concentration in favor of more diversification is also characteristic of my investment philosophy. In addition, I focus on the securities within a company's capital structure that are paying current cash interest versus securities paying interest on a deferred basis. This tends to lower the volatility of returns over time. For similar reasons, I limit exposure to equity-like and distressed securities. As a result, most of the fund's return comes from cash interest income rather than capital appreciation."

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 Total returns do not include the effect of the sales charges. E Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. 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 class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflects 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 class. G For the period September 7, 1999 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1999. H Effective November 30, 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. The effect of this change during the period was to increase net investment income (loss) per share by $.017 and decrease net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share by $.017. Without this change to the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been 7.50%. Per share data, ratios and supplemental data for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor High Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their most recent bid price in the principal market (sales price if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which 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 ADR's, 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 at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

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

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

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

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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. The fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

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.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Semiannual Report

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Change in Accounting Principle. 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. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on total net assets of the fund, but resulted in a $228,695 increase to the cost of securities held and a corresponding increase to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss), based on securities held by the fund on November 1, 2001.

The effect of this change during the period, was to increase net investment income by $264,913, decrease net unrealized appreciation/depreciation by $159,382, and decrease net realized gain (loss) by $105,531. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

2. Operating Policies - continued

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

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the 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 the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

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

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

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

Central Funds. The fund 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 fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $60,890 for the period.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates 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 fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

April's weak stock market performance dragged the majority of broad-based, large-capitalization equity indexes into negative territory through the first four months of 2002. However, small- and mid-cap value stocks rose above the tide based on their more attractive valuations and strong current earnings growth. April's equity woes proved beneficial for most fixed-income categories, particularly Treasury and government securities. Year to date, nearly every category of the bond market had positive returns.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund - Class A

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on September 3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 3, 1996 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.

For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class A's returns to those of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the high current yield funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 392 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor High Yield Fund - Class A on April 30, 1992, and the current 4.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by April 30, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,042 - an 80.42% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $20,611 - a 106.11% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the class for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $8.12 over the past one month, $8.17 over the past six months and $8.48 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula based on the yields of the securities in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield includes the effect of Class A's current 4.75% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show Class C's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class C's returns to those of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. To measure how Class C's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the high current yield funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 392 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund - Class C on April 30, 1992. As the chart shows, by April 30, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $17,788 - a 77.88% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $20,611 - a 106.11% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

Total return components include both dividend returns and capital returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the class. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the class to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class' share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the class for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $8.11 over the past one month, $8.17 over the past six months and $8.48 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula based on the yields of the securities in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield excludes the effect of Class C's contingent deferred sales charge.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Reflecting renewed optimism in the high-yield market, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield bond performance - gained 6.16% during the six-month period ending April 30, 2002. Investor demand for higher yields and their willingness to assume more risk drove positive flows into high-yield mutual funds during the period. In addition, growing positive sentiment about a potential economic recovery contributed to a narrowing in the yield spread between high-yield bonds and Treasury bonds. The index's relatively strong performance was driven by a broad group of industries. Some of the larger sectors in the index that posted positive returns were gaming (12.60%), energy (7.27%) and health care (5.92%). The two largest sectors, cable TV (-2.89%) and telecommunications (-8.67%) were notable underperformers. In the cable sector, Adelphia Communications - the second-largest issuer of high-yield bonds - disclosed significant off-balance-sheet liabilities. In the telecommunications sector, prices declined on investors' concerns regarding the Global Crossing and McLeod bankruptcies, negative earnings announcements from Level 3 Communications, and a growing number of telecom fallen angels that appeared poised to enter the market. Investors were willing to seek opportunities in issues paying interest on a deferred basis and issues in the lower credit quality tiers, leaving prices in these market segments higher.

An interview with Thomas Soviero, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund

Q. Tom, how did the fund perform?

A. For the six months ending April 30, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 3.68%, 3.76%, 3.31% and 3.39%, respectively. During the same period, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 6.16%, while the high current yield funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 5.13%. For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2002, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -4.43%, -4.49%, -5.15% and -5.21%, respectively. The benchmark returned 3.49%, while the Lipper average returned 1.06%.

Q. Why did the fund trail its benchmarks during the past six months?

A. Unfortunately, it was a tough period for the fund given my overweighting of weak-performing telecommunications issues and exposure to Rite Aid, a food and drug retailing company. Negative company news dogged the telecom sector, leaving it under pressure for most of the period. In particular, our position in AT&T Canada disappointed. I expected the company to benefit from Canada's telecommunications deregulation, but subsequently sold the position when I recognized the process was moving slower than I had estimated. Broadwing, formerly Cincinnati Bell, stumbled in its emerging telecom businesses and investors discounted the entire company's cash-generating abilities. However, I continued to hold the position on the strength of its long-term prospects. Rite Aid reported lower-than-expected operating earnings, but I maintained exposure to the company for many of the reasons I cited in the report to shareholders six months ago: its favorable demographics, revenue growth, national status and strong management team.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Which investments performed well during the period, and why?

A. The fund's positive performers included Owens-Illinois. The company's securities rose on positive supply-and-demand fundamentals in the glass industry. AMC Entertainment benefited from its leadership position in the consolidated movie theater industry. Holdings in the health care sector also helped performance. Quest Diagnostics, a national chain of clinical laboratories that provides medical testing services, performed well, as did DaVita, a company that runs nationwide kidney dialysis centers.

Q. How did the fund's positioning change?

A. Based on my risk/return assessment of the high-yield market, I chose to reduce the fund's exposure to issues paying deferred interest. Also, when presented with the choice, I invested in a company's more senior-level securities, rather than its junior issues, such as preferred stock. It's interesting to note that while the telecom weighting in the fund did not change dramatically, the characteristics of these holdings have changed toward more senior securities and less-volatile cash-pay securities.

Q. Tom, effective July 1, 2002, the fund will change its name to Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund. Will the fund's name change affect how it is managed?

A. The name change will not affect how the fund is managed. The fund is changing its name in response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's "name test rule." All funds must comply with this rule by July 31, 2002. The fund has a policy to invest at least 65% of total assets in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. We did not want to change the way the fund is run today, but if the fund kept "high yield" in its name, we would have to adopt a policy to invest at least 80% of the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities under the SEC rule. Instead, the fund is changing its name and modifying this policy by replacing "at least 65% of total assets" with "primarily." At the same time, we're changing another of the fund's prospectus policies. Currently, we limit the fund's investment in common stock to no more than 35% of its assets. Going forward, we will limit common stock to no more than 20% of assets. I don't expect shareholders to notice a difference in how the fund is run, as I've typically had under 20% of assets in common stock.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The fund has struggled, but I am optimistic. We have witnessed some panic selling that has created inefficiencies, and I continue to see value in the market. With yields-to-maturity of 11%-12%, the high-yield asset class is very appealing. Default rates should peak this year and, historically, that has been an opportune time to buy. The economy has improved since September 11, which is a positive for leveraged companies. A limiting factor could be the inability of leveraged companies to get financing from a more conservative banking community.

Thomas Soviero on the telecommunications sector:

"The telecommunications sector of the high-yield market has undergone an incredible transformation over the past six years. As of December 1996, telecom represented 6.9% of the market. This was the same year the U.S. government deregulated telecommunications. By June 2000, the sector accounted for 20.7% of the high-yield market, as communication companies of all types came to the high-yield market. Some were looking to finance businesses with positive earnings, while others were seeking venture-capital-like financing. By March 2002, however, telecom had fallen to 8.3% of the market. While the fund has maintained its overweighting in telecom companies relative to its benchmark, the fund's allocation did undergo a transformation. I've concentrated the fund's telecom holdings in relatively few wireless and wire line companies. Also, the fund's position in wireless company Nextel shifted from mostly preferred stock to predominantly bonds. The fund owns the bank debt - the most senior debt security - of two wire line companies, McLeod and Level 3. While asset valuations in the sector have depreciated faster than I estimated, I do not believe this is the time to take money off the table. Instead, I've focused on more mature companies with streamlined business plans and have purchased more senior-level securities in these companies' capital structure."

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The 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. On June 20, 2002, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the name of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund to Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund effective on or about July 1, 2002. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid price in the principal market (sales price if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. 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 ADR's, 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 are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

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

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

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

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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. The fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

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 the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Semiannual Report

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for paydowngains/losses on certain securities, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Change in Accounting Principle. 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. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on total net assets of the fund, but resulted in a $37,516,000 increase to the cost of securities held and a corresponding increase to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss), based on securities held by the fund on November 1, 2001.

The effect of this change during the period, was to increase net investment income (loss) by $24,598,000; decrease net unrealized appreciation/depreciation by $19,182,000; and decrease net realized gain (loss) by $5,416,000. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market

daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the 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 the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

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

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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

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

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

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

Central Funds. The fund 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 fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,292,000 for the period.

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

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates 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 fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Semiannual Report

6. Expense Reductions.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $66,000 of the fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $14,000.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

April's weak stock market performance dragged the majority of broad-based, large-capitalization equity indexes into negative territory through the first four months of 2002. However, small- and mid-cap value stocks rose above the tide based on their more attractive valuations and strong current earnings growth. April's equity woes proved beneficial for most fixed-income categories, particularly Treasury and government securities. Year to date, nearly every category of the bond market had positive returns.

While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.

The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.

An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.

If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these types of funds.

Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with your investments.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report

Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund - Institutional Class

Performance: The Bottom Line

There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Institutional Class shares took place on July 3, 1995. Institutional Class shares are sold to eligible investors without a sales load or 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to July 3, 1995 are those of Class T, the original class of the fund, and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare Institutional Class' returns to those of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the high current yield funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 392 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor High Yield Fund - Institutional Class on April 30, 1992. As the chart shows, by April 30, 2002, the value of the investment would have grown to $19,042 - a 90.42% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $20,611 - a 106.11% increase.

Understanding
Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for example, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

Dividends per share show the income paid by the class for a set period and do not reflect any tax reclassifications. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $7.92 over the past one month, $7.97 over the past six months, and $8.28 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula based on the yields of the securities in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal basis.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Reflecting renewed optimism in the high-yield market, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield bond performance - gained 6.16% during the six-month period ending April 30, 2002. Investor demand for higher yields and their willingness to assume more risk drove positive flows into high-yield mutual funds during the period. In addition, growing positive sentiment about a potential economic recovery contributed to a narrowing in the yield spread between high-yield bonds and Treasury bonds. The index's relatively strong performance was driven by a broad group of industries. Some of the larger sectors in the index that posted positive returns were gaming (12.60%), energy (7.27%) and health care (5.92%). The two largest sectors, cable TV (-2.89%) and telecommunications (-8.67%) were notable underperformers. In the cable sector, Adelphia Communications - the second-largest issuer of high-yield bonds - disclosed significant off-balance-sheet liabilities. In the telecommunications sector, prices declined on investors' concerns regarding the Global Crossing and McLeod bankruptcies, negative earnings announcements from Level 3 Communications, and a growing number of telecom fallen angels that appeared poised to enter the market. Investors were willing to seek opportunities in issues paying interest on a deferred basis and issues in the lower credit quality tiers, leaving prices in these market segments higher.

An interview with Thomas Soviero, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund

Q. Tom, how did the fund perform?

A. For the six months ending April 30, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 3.86%. During the same period, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 6.16%, while the high current yield funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 5.13%. For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2002, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -4.27%. The benchmark returned 3.49% while the Lipper average returned 1.06%.

Q. Why did the fund trail its benchmarks during the past six months?

A. Unfortunately, it was a tough period for the fund given my overweighting of weak-performing telecommunications issues and exposure to Rite Aid, a food and drug retailing company. Negative company news dogged the telecom sector, leaving it under pressure for most of the period. In particular, our position in AT&T Canada disappointed. I expected the company to benefit from Canada's telecommunications deregulation, but subsequently sold the position when I recognized the process was moving slower than I had estimated. Broadwing, formerly Cincinnati Bell, stumbled in its emerging telecom businesses and investors discounted the entire company's cash-generating abilities. However, I continued to hold the position on the strength of its long-term prospects. Rite Aid reported lower-than-expected operating earnings, but I maintained exposure to the company for many of the reasons I cited in the report to shareholders six months ago: its favorable demographics, revenue growth, national status and strong management team.

Semiannual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Which investments performed well during the period, and why?

A. The fund's positive performers included Owens-Illinois. The company's securities rose on positive supply-and-demand fundamentals in the glass industry. AMC Entertainment benefited from its leadership position in the consolidated movie theater industry. Holdings in the health care sector also helped performance. Quest Diagnostics, a national chain of clinical laboratories that provides medical testing services, performed well, as did DaVita, a company that runs nationwide kidney dialysis centers.

Q. How did the fund's positioning change?

A. Based on my risk/return assessment of the high-yield market, I chose to reduce the fund's exposure to issues paying deferred interest. Also, when presented with the choice, I invested in a company's more senior-level securities, rather than its junior issues, such as preferred stock. It's interesting to note that while the telecom weighting in the fund did not change dramatically, the characteristics of these holdings have changed toward more senior securities and less-volatile cash-pay securities.

Q. Tom, effective July 1, 2002, the fund will change its name to Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund. Will the fund's name change affect how it is managed?

A. The name change will not affect how the fund is managed. The fund is changing its name in response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's "name test rule." All funds must comply with this rule by July 31, 2002. The fund has a policy to invest at least 65% of total assets in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. We did not want to change the way the fund is run today, but if the fund kept "high yield" in its name, we would have to adopt a policy to invest at least 80% of the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities under the SEC rule. Instead, the fund is changing its name and modifying this policy by replacing "at least 65% of total assets" with "primarily." At the same time, we're changing another of the fund's prospectus policies. Currently, we limit the fund's investment in common stock to no more than 35% of its assets. Going forward, we will limit common stock to no more than 20% of assets. I don't expect shareholders to notice a difference in how the fund is run, as I've typically had under 20% of assets in common stock.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The fund has struggled, but I am optimistic. We have witnessed some panic selling that has created inefficiencies, and I continue to see value in the market. With yields-to-maturity of 11%-12%, the high-yield asset class is very appealing. Default rates should peak this year and, historically, that has been an opportune time to buy. The economy has improved since September 11, which is a positive for leveraged companies. A limiting factor could be the inability of leveraged companies to get financing from a more conservative banking community.

Thomas Soviero on the telecommunications sector:

"The telecommunications sector of the high-yield market has undergone an incredible transformation over the past six years. As of December 1996, telecom represented 6.9% of the market. This was the same year the U.S. government deregulated telecommunications. By June 2000, the sector accounted for 20.7% of the high-yield market, as communication companies of all types came to the high-yield market. Some were looking to finance businesses with positive earnings, while others were seeking venture-capital-like financing. By March 2002, however, telecom had fallen to 8.3% of the market. While the fund has maintained its overweighting in telecom companies relative to its benchmark, the fund's allocation did undergo a transformation. I've concentrated the fund's telecom holdings in relatively few wireless and wire line companies. Also, the fund's position in wireless company Nextel shifted from mostly preferred stock to predominantly bonds. The fund owns the bank debt - the most senior debt security - of two wire line companies, McLeod and Level 3. While asset valuations in the sector have depreciated faster than I estimated, I do not believe this is the time to take money off the table. Instead, I've focused on more mature companies with streamlined business plans and have purchased more senior-level securities in these companies' capital structure."

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The 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. On June 20, 2002, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the name of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund to Fidelity Advisor High Income Advantage Fund effective on or about July 1, 2002. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid price in the principal market (sales price if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities or by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. 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 ADR's, 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 are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

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

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

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

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes, if any, under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. 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. The fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

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 the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Semiannual Report

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for paydowngains/losses on certain securities, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Change in Accounting Principle. 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. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on total net assets of the fund, but resulted in a $37,516,000 increase to the cost of securities held and a corresponding increase to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss), based on securities held by the fund on November 1, 2001.

The effect of this change during the period, was to increase net investment income (loss) by $24,598,000; decrease net unrealized appreciation/depreciation by $19,182,000; and decrease net realized gain (loss) by $5,416,000. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

2. Operating Policies.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market

daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

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

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the 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 the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

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

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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