President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Government Investment 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. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Class A's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, 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 A's returns to those of the Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of U.S. government and government agency securities (other than mortgage securities) with maturities of one year or more. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the general U.S. government funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 157 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 Government Investment Fund - Class A on October 31, 1991, and the current 4.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,912 - an 89.12% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $21,479 - a 114.79% 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 $9.97 over the past one month, $9.76 over the past six months and $9.71 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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 price used in the calculation of the yield includes the effect of Class A's current 4.75% sales charge.

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 $9.97 over the past one month, $9.75 over the past six months, and $9.70 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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 price used in the calculation of the yield excludes the effect of Class C's contingent deferred sales charge.

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds provided some of the best returns of any asset class, continuing a two-year trend that coincided with extreme volatility in the equity markets. While stocks generally posted double-digit losses, investment-grade bonds saw double-digit advances, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This trend was furthered during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2001. In that time, the Lehman Brothers index - a proxy for taxable-bond performance - returned 14.56%. On a year-to-date basis through October, the index was up nearly 11%. If the benchmark finishes 2001 with a return of more than 10%, it will mark the first time since 1985-1986 that it recorded double-digit gains in two consecutive years. The various categories of investment-grade taxable bonds performed similarly well during the past 12 months. Corporates had a slight performance edge as investors shifted toward higher-yielding securities for most of the period. The Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index was up 15.80% for the year. Agencies were right behind at 15.46%, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Treasuries gained significant ground after the terrorist attacks of September 11, as investors searched for investments with less credit risk. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 14.95% during the 12-month period. High levels of prepayment activity held back the returns of mortgage bonds somewhat, but the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index still gained a solid 13.08%.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2001, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 13.95%, 13.86%, 13.03% and 13.05%, respectively. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the general U.S. government funds average returned 13.75% for the same 12-month period, according to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 15.08%.

Q. What led to the fund's strong returns during the past 12 months?

A. A series of rapid and dramatic interest-rate cuts and renewed investor demand for fixed-income investments translated into very strong returns for most bonds, including those that are the main focus of the fund: Treasury, agency and mortgage securities. The period got off to a very strong start when investors began to anticipate that the Federal Reserve Board would cut interest rates in order to jump-start the economy. Just the expectation that rates would move lower was enough to fuel a late-2000 bond rally. The Fed delivered on those expectations, reducing short-term interest rates on four separate occasions between the beginning of 2001 and the end of April. The Fed would repeat that action in ensuing months as more evidence supported the fear that the U.S. economy was veering close to a recession. After the tragic events of September 11, the Fed stepped in again to steady the global financial markets and hopefully moderate the severity of the downturn. By the end of the period, short-term interest rates had fallen to levels not seen since the early 1960s.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What choices did you make in the Treasury market, and how did they affect performance?

A. Throughout much of the period, I placed a heavy emphasis on intermediate-term bonds with maturities between five and 10 years. The reason I emphasized intermediate-maturity Treasury securities was because they provided a significant amount of additional yield over shorter-term bonds and almost as much yield as longer-term securities. At the same time, they had far less interest-rate risk than longer-term bonds. Given that the past year was marked by periods when shorter-term bonds dramatically outpaced longer-term bonds and vice versa, striking a middle ground in the intermediate-maturity range was an overall plus for the fund's performance.

Q. Agency securities performed quite well during the past year. What was behind their gains, and how did you approach that sector of the bond market?

A. Agency securities became quite cheap relative to Treasury securities late last year. That was due primarily to threats made by Congress and other legislators to cut off the lines of credit that provide some agencies - specifically Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - implicit government backing. This year, however, the threat of potentially damaging legislation faded as the agencies took steps to appease legislators, and other agenda items - such as staving off a recession and the war on terrorism - took center stage. The agency market also had to contend with heavy supply. Fortunately, that supply was easily absorbed by strong demand, as investors increasingly sought out high-quality, higher-yielding alternatives to Treasury bonds. Since I had purchased the bulk of the fund's agency holdings back when they were cheap, the fund benefited from the significant appreciation they enjoyed during the period.

Q. Were there any disappointments?

A. Although mortgage security prices ended the period significantly higher due to falling interest rates, they lagged Treasury and agency securities throughout much of the period because of mounting prepayment worries. Prepayment occurs when homeowners refinance their mortgages, causing the mortgage pools that make up the securities to prepay. Investors generally dislike prepayments because it potentially forces them to reinvest at lower interest rates. I routinely emphasized mortgage securities with some measure of protection against prepayment, which helped. However, it didn't altogether immunize holdings when prepayment activity came in at much faster-than-expected levels as interest rates continued their slide. I pared back the fund's exposure to the mortgage sector in late summer, just prior to the beginning of a new wave of refinancing activity in September and October.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The economy, interest rates and the bond market are at a critical inflection point. What happens to the market from here will depend on the strength of the economy and the Fed's response to it. Continued weak economic data could signal further rate cuts, although with short-term interest rates at 2.5% at the end of the period, there's only so much room left to cut. On the other hand, improvement in economic data may mean the end of the current cycle of rate cutting. Given all the uncertainty surrounding the economy and interest rates, I plan to continue to emphasize agency securities because they offer an attractive yield advantage over Treasuries and the potential to perform better as a result. If rates do begin to trend higher and home loan refinancings slow, I'll likely look to the mortgage market for higher-yielding alternatives as well.

Tom Silvia on inflation-indexed securities:

"During recent months, I've purchased some inflation-indexed notes and bonds known as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, which are designed to help investors offset inflation risk. Inflation, while virtually non-existent over the past year, can quickly eat away at the value of a bond. Here's how these TIPS work: Using the Consumer Price Index as a benchmark, the value of the bond's principal is adjusted to reflect the effects of inflation. A fixed interest rate is paid semiannually on the adjusted amount. At maturity, if inflation has increased the value of the principal, the investor receives the higher value. Because of the built-in inflation protection, these securities usually offer lower coupon rates than Treasuries of similar maturities without the feature.

"It's useful to think of TIPS as providing insurance against inflation. At present, there's very little fear of inflation, so the cost of insurance against it has become very cheap. We measure that cost by calculating the inflation rate at which a holder of inflation-linked Treasuries would do better than the holder of ordinary securities. For example, I sold some ordinary eight-year Treasuries that carried yields of 3.99% and bought inflation-indexed bonds that carried a yield of 2.81%. If the Consumer Price Index rises more than 1.18 percentage points annually for the next 10 years, the TIPS will do better. Given all the stimulus that's been pumped into the economy - including lower interest rates and tax cuts - it seemed prudent to buy some cheap insurance now against potential future inflation."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Government Investment 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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

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 paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, 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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

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.

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 .30% 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 annual management fee rate was .43% 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. Each class pays 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.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from, 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

5. Security Lending.

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

6. Expense Reductions.

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 $3,901.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund, (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2001, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund as of October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Government Investment 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. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, 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 Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of U.S. government and government agency securities (other than mortgage securities) with maturities of one year or more. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the general U.S. government funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 157 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 Government Investment Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $20,012 - a 100.12% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested the same $10,000 would have grown to $21,479 - a 114.79% 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 $9.93 over the past one month, $9.71 over the past six months, and $9.66 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds provided some of the best returns of any asset class, continuing a two-year trend that coincided with extreme volatility in the equity markets. While stocks generally posted double-digit losses, investment-grade bonds saw double-digit advances, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This trend was furthered during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2001. In that time, the Lehman Brothers index - a proxy for taxable-bond performance - returned 14.56%. On a year-to-date basis through October, the index was up nearly 11%. If the benchmark finishes 2001 with a return of more than 10%, it will mark the first time since 1985-1986 that it recorded double-digit gains in two consecutive years. The various categories of investment-grade taxable bonds performed similarly well during the past 12 months. Corporates had a slight performance edge as investors shifted toward higher-yielding securities for most of the period. The Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index was up 15.80% for the year. Agencies were right behind at 15.46%, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Treasuries gained significant ground after the terrorist attacks of September 11, as investors searched for investments with less credit risk. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 14.95% during the 12-month period. High levels of prepayment activity held back the returns of mortgage bonds somewhat, but the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index still gained a solid 13.08%.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2001, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 14.11%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the general U.S. government funds average returned 13.75% for the same 12-month period, according to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 15.08%.

Q. What led to the fund's strong returns during the past 12 months?

A. A series of rapid and dramatic interest-rate cuts and renewed investor demand for fixed-income investments translated into very strong returns for most bonds, including those that are the main focus of the fund: Treasury, agency and mortgage securities. The period got off to a very strong start when investors began to anticipate that the Federal Reserve Board would cut interest rates in order to jump-start the economy. Just the expectation that rates would move lower was enough to fuel a late-2000 bond rally. The Fed delivered on those expectations, reducing short-term interest rates on four separate occasions between the beginning of 2001 and the end of April. The Fed would repeat that action in ensuing months as more evidence supported the fear that the U.S. economy was veering close to a recession. After the tragic events of September 11, the Fed stepped in again to steady the global financial markets and hopefully moderate the severity of the downturn. By the end of the period, short-term interest rates had fallen to levels not seen since the early 1960s.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What choices did you make in the Treasury market, and how did they affect performance?

A. Throughout much of the period, I placed a heavy emphasis on intermediate-term bonds with maturities between five and 10 years. The reason I emphasized intermediate-maturity Treasury securities was because they provided a significant amount of additional yield over shorter-term bonds and almost as much yield as longer-term securities. At the same time, they had far less interest-rate risk than longer-term bonds. Given that the past year was marked by periods when shorter-term bonds dramatically outpaced longer-term bonds and vice versa, striking a middle ground in the intermediate-maturity range was an overall plus for the fund's performance.

Q. Agency securities performed quite well during the past year. What was behind their gains, and how did you approach that sector of the bond market?

A. Agency securities became quite cheap relative to Treasury securities late last year. That was due primarily to threats made by Congress and other legislators to cut off the lines of credit that provide some agencies - specifically Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - implicit government backing. This year, however, the threat of potentially damaging legislation faded as the agencies took steps to appease legislators, and other agenda items - such as staving off a recession and the war on terrorism - took center stage. The agency market also had to contend with heavy supply. Fortunately, that supply was easily absorbed by strong demand, as investors increasingly sought out high-quality, higher-yielding alternatives to Treasury bonds. Since I had purchased the bulk of the fund's agency holdings back when they were cheap, the fund benefited from the significant appreciation they enjoyed during the period.

Q. Were there any disappointments?

A. Although mortgage security prices ended the period significantly higher due to falling interest rates, they lagged Treasury and agency securities throughout much of the period because of mounting prepayment worries. Prepayment occurs when homeowners refinance their mortgages, causing the mortgage pools that make up the securities to prepay. Investors generally dislike prepayments because it potentially forces them to reinvest at lower interest rates. I routinely emphasized mortgage securities with some measure of protection against prepayment, which helped. However, it didn't altogether immunize holdings when prepayment activity came in at much faster-than-expected levels as interest rates continued their slide. I pared back the fund's exposure to the mortgage sector in late summer, just prior to the beginning of a new wave of refinancing activity in September and October.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The economy, interest rates and the bond market are at a critical inflection point. What happens to the market from here will depend on the strength of the economy and the Fed's response to it. Continued weak economic data could signal further rate cuts, although with short-term interest rates at 2.5% at the end of the period, there's only so much room left to cut. On the other hand, improvement in economic data may mean the end of the current cycle of rate cutting. Given all the uncertainty surrounding the economy and interest rates, I plan to continue to emphasize agency securities because they offer an attractive yield advantage over Treasuries and the potential to perform better as a result. If rates do begin to trend higher and home loan refinancings slow, I'll likely look to the mortgage market for higher-yielding alternatives as well.

Tom Silvia on inflation-indexed securities:

"During recent months, I've purchased some inflation-indexed notes and bonds known as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, which are designed to help investors offset inflation risk. Inflation, while virtually non-existent over the past year, can quickly eat away at the value of a bond. Here's how these TIPS work: Using the Consumer Price Index as a benchmark, the value of the bond's principal is adjusted to reflect the effects of inflation. A fixed interest rate is paid semiannually on the adjusted amount. At maturity, if inflation has increased the value of the principal, the investor receives the higher value. Because of the built-in inflation protection, these securities usually offer lower coupon rates than Treasuries of similar maturities without the feature.

"It's useful to think of TIPS as providing insurance against inflation. At present, there's very little fear of inflation, so the cost of insurance against it has become very cheap. We measure that cost by calculating the inflation rate at which a holder of inflation-linked Treasuries would do better than the holder of ordinary securities. For example, I sold some ordinary eight-year Treasuries that carried yields of 3.99% and bought inflation-indexed bonds that carried a yield of 2.81%. If the Consumer Price Index rises more than 1.18 percentage points annually for the next 10 years, the TIPS will do better. Given all the stimulus that's been pumped into the economy - including lower interest rates and tax cuts - it seemed prudent to buy some cheap insurance now against potential future inflation."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

C 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. Expenses net of voluntary waivers reflects expenses after reimbursements 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Government Investment 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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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.

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 paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, 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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

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.

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 .30% 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 annual management fee rate was .43% 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. Each class pays 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.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from, 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

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

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

5. Security Lending.

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

6. Expense Reductions.

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 $3,901.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund, (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2001, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Government Investment Fund as of October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual 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. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses during the periods shown, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Class A's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, 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 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 one year average represents a peer group of 388 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 October 31, 1991, and the current 4.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $19,992 - a 99.92% 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 $21,439 - a 114.39% 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 $8.11 over the past one month, $8.78 over the past six months and $9.12 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.

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 $8.10 over the past one month, $8.78 over the past six months and $9.12 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

High-yield bonds ended a turbulent 12 months with a marginally positive return, as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield market performance. The benchmark closed up slightly at 0.05% for the one-year period ending October 31, 2001. While that performance won't quite be remembered as stellar, the return looks almost gaudy compared to the U.S. stock market during the same time frame, as most equity indexes suffered double-digit losses during the past year. Overall, the returns from the high-yield market were held back by a default rate of approximately 9%. Telecommunications companies, the largest component of the Merrill Lynch benchmark, continued to be plagued by a lack of capital flowing into the sector and near industry-wide profit warnings. The cable-TV industry - the second-largest component of the Merrill Lynch index - also declined throughout the period, while the air transportation segment fell 24% during the third quarter of 2001, due almost entirely to the devastating events of September 11. On the positive side of the ledger, the overall high-yield market offered investors a yield of approximately 13% at the end of the period, nearly eight percentage points higher than the yield of 10-year Treasury notes.

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

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 2001, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -7.64%, -7.81%, -8.25% and -8.41%, respectively. In comparison, the high current yield funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned -3.98%, while the overall high-yield market, as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 0.05% for the same 12-month period.

Q. What factors contributed to the fund's underperformance?

A. During the period, the capital markets were characterized by an aversion toward risk amid a weakening economy and because of the terrorist attacks of September 11. Within this backdrop, the fund suffered from several factors. First, it held investments in some equities, which hurt because stocks generally underperformed bonds during the period. Second, it was overweighted in telecommunications, which was hard hit by concerns that many companies in the sector would not be able to access the capital necessary to continue their build-out plans. The bonds of McLeodUSA and XO Communications - two competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) - and the preferred stock of wireless operator Nextel had a significant negative impact on performance. In addition, Ba-rated bonds, the highest-rated bonds in the high-yield universe, outperformed all other credit sectors; the fund was mainly focused on bonds with a lower B rating, particularly in the telecom sector. Finally, the fund held an overweighted position in deferred-payment securities, which do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount. The holder benefits when the security is redeemed at face value upon maturity. Within a risk-averse environment, investors lost their appetite for these types of bonds, preferring cash-payment securities instead.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What moves did you make in response to this backdrop?

A. I trimmed the number of telecom positions and increased the fund's weightings in more defensive sectors such as health care, drug stores and food companies. In addition, I reduced the percentage of the fund dedicated to deferred-payment securities and increased the fund's exposure to Ba-rated bonds.

Q. How did the events of September 11 affect the fund?

A. Unfortunately, the fund was hurt by the developments brought on by the tragedies. In the months leading up to the attack, we were starting to see signs of an economic recovery. In response, I started to make the fund a bit more economically sensitive by investing in cyclical sectors such as paper, chemicals and industrials. In the wake of September 11, these types of securities were hit hard as the economy came to a virtual standstill. In addition, the fund held some airline bonds, including Northwest, and some hotel bonds such as Host Marriott. I sold these bonds quickly, but not before they had suffered price losses. All in all, however, I did not alter the portfolio dramatically, choosing to maintain some investments in more cyclical sectors, with the feeling that they would still respond to an eventual uptick in economic growth.

Q. Which investments worked well for the fund? Which disappointed?

A. On the positive side, Laboratory Corp. of America and Quest Diagnostics, two independent nationwide clinical laboratory companies, proved to be among the best performers for the fund, spurred by rapid growth and better pricing. Pharmacy chain Rite Aid benefited from a turnaround, and supermarket retailer Pathmark improved due to balance-sheet restructuring. Finally, movie theater operator AMC Entertainment offered stability in an uncertain environment. As I mentioned earlier, the fund's telecom investments - including Nextel, NTL, XO Communications and McLeodUSA - dominated the disappointments. Among those investments, I sold almost the entire NTL position earlier in the year. In addition, I moved up the capital structure by buying the bank debt loans of XO Communications and McLeodUSA (see a discussion of bank debt on the next page). However, I maintained the stake in Nextel due to its positive credit fundamentals, strong subscriber growth and steady pricing. The common stock of satellite service provider Echostar also declined due to fears that the company's growth would be negatively impacted by economic weakness and increased competition from the cable industry. However, the company has continued to execute superbly, so I held on to the investment.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Tom, what's your outlook?

A. The high-yield market looks as if it is poised for recovery. Default rates seem to be peaking; the last time we reached defaults at a similar level was 1991, which proved to be one of the best years ever for high-yield bonds. Like other markets, the high-yield market trades on future sentiment. It looks as if defaults will plateau at some point in 2002, which could signal the beginning of a turnaround in the high-yield market. In the meantime, both high-yield valuations and yields are extremely attractive; even if junk bonds tread water for a time, investors are currently receiving interest income in the 13% to 14% range. Given the carnage that occurred in the telecom sector, it appears much of the pain has been borne already. As a result, both this sector and the high-yield market in general could offer significant potential in the coming months.

Tom Soviero on investing in bank debt:

"One area that has offered particularly attractive investment opportunities of late is the bank debt market, where banks sell off the debt they hold in distressed high-yield companies. In so doing, the banks sell the debt at a significant discount, opening up the possibility of capital appreciation for the purchaser. This is a developing secondary market that is currently rife with inefficiencies, creating very appealing values for the opportunistic and flexible investor. We've been able to locate particular opportunities in the bank debt carried by the high-yield companies that we follow regularly with our experienced research department, including XO Communications and McLeodUSA. Bank debt also is an attractive option since it is senior in the capital structure to high-yield bonds and most often secured by company assets. Therefore, if a company encounters financial difficulties, the bank debt must be paid off before the company's high-yield bonds. While bank debt currently accounts for less than 5% of the fund's assets, it's yet another area where we can put our expertise to work in order to unearth possibilities for income and capital appreciation."

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. 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. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

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

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 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.

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 litigation proceeds, paydown

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders - continued

gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales transactions.

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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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 annual 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. Each class pays 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

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund, (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2001, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund as of October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual 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. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses during the periods shown, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year average represents a peer group of 388 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 October 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $21,064 - a 110.64% 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 $21,439 - a 114.39% 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, $8.58 over the past six months, and $8.92 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.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

High-yield bonds ended a turbulent 12 months with a marginally positive return, as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a broad measure of high-yield market performance. The benchmark closed up slightly at 0.05% for the one-year period ending October 31, 2001. While that performance won't quite be remembered as stellar, the return looks almost gaudy compared to the U.S. stock market during the same time frame, as most equity indexes suffered double-digit losses during the past year. Overall, the returns from the high-yield market were held back by a default rate of approximately 9%. Telecommunications companies, the largest component of the Merrill Lynch benchmark, continued to be plagued by a lack of capital flowing into the sector and near industry-wide profit warnings. The cable-TV industry - the second-largest component of the Merrill Lynch index - also declined throughout the period, while the air transportation segment fell 24% during the third quarter of 2001, due almost entirely to the devastating events of September 11. On the positive side of the ledger, the overall high-yield market offered investors a yield of approximately 13% at the end of the period, nearly eight percentage points higher than the yield of 10-year Treasury notes.

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

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 2001, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -7.58%. That compares with a -3.98% return for the high current yield funds average tracked by Lipper Inc., and a 0.05% return for the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index for the same 12-month period.

Q. What factors contributed to the fund's underperformance?

A. During the period, the capital markets were characterized by an aversion toward risk amid a weakening economy and because of the terrorist attacks of September 11. Within this backdrop, the fund suffered from several factors. First, it held investments in some equities, which hurt because stocks generally underperformed bonds during the period. Second, it was overweighted in telecommunications, which was hard hit by concerns that many companies in the sector would not be able to access the capital necessary to continue their build-out plans. The bonds of McLeodUSA and XO Communications - two competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) - and the preferred stock of wireless operator Nextel had a significant negative impact on performance. In addition, Ba-rated bonds, the highest-rated bonds in the high-yield universe, outperformed all other credit sectors; the fund was mainly focused on bonds with a lower B rating, particularly in the telecom sector. Finally, the fund held an overweighted position in deferred-payment securities, which do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount. The holder benefits when the security is redeemed at face value upon maturity. Within a risk-averse environment, investors lost their appetite for these types of bonds, preferring cash-payment securities instead.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What moves did you make in response to this backdrop?

A. I trimmed the number of telecom positions and increased the fund's weightings in more defensive sectors such as health care, drug stores and food companies. In addition, I reduced the percentage of the fund dedicated to deferred-payment securities and increased the fund's exposure to Ba-rated bonds.

Q. How did the events of September 11 affect the fund?

A. Unfortunately, the fund was hurt by the developments brought on by the tragedies. In the months leading up to the attack, we were starting to see signs of an economic recovery. In response, I started to make the fund a bit more economically sensitive by investing in cyclical sectors such as paper, chemicals and industrials. In the wake of September 11, these types of securities were hit hard as the economy came to a virtual standstill. In addition, the fund held some airline bonds, including Northwest, and some hotel bonds such as Host Marriott. I sold these bonds quickly, but not before they had suffered price losses. All in all, however, I did not alter the portfolio dramatically, choosing to maintain some investments in more cyclical sectors, with the feeling that they would still respond to an eventual uptick in economic growth.

Q. Which investments worked well for the fund? Which disappointed?

A. On the positive side, Laboratory Corp. of America and Quest Diagnostics, two independent nationwide clinical laboratory companies, proved to be among the best performers for the fund, spurred by rapid growth and better pricing. Pharmacy chain Rite Aid benefited from a turnaround, and supermarket retailer Pathmark improved due to balance-sheet restructuring. Finally, movie theater operator AMC Entertainment offered stability in an uncertain environment. As I mentioned earlier, the fund's telecom investments - including Nextel, NTL, XO Communications and McLeodUSA - dominated the disappointments. Among those investments, I sold almost the entire NTL position earlier in the year. In addition, I moved up the capital structure by buying the bank debt loans of XO Communications and McLeodUSA (see a discussion of bank debt on the next page). However, I maintained the stake in Nextel due to its positive credit fundamentals, strong subscriber growth and steady pricing. The common stock of satellite service provider Echostar also declined due to fears that the company's growth would be negatively impacted by economic weakness and increased competition from the cable industry. However, the company has continued to execute superbly, so I held on to the investment.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. Tom, what's your outlook?

A. The high-yield market looks as if it is poised for recovery. Default rates seem to be peaking; the last time we reached defaults at a similar level was 1991, which proved to be one of the best years ever for high-yield bonds. Like other markets, the high-yield market trades on future sentiment. It looks as if defaults will plateau at some point in 2002, which could signal the beginning of a turnaround in the high-yield market. In the meantime, both high-yield valuations and yields are extremely attractive; even if junk bonds tread water for a time, investors are currently receiving interest income in the 13% to 14% range. Given the carnage that occurred in the telecom sector, it appears much of the pain has been borne already. As a result, both this sector and the high-yield market in general could offer significant potential in the coming months.

Tom Soviero on investing in bank debt:

"One area that has offered particularly attractive investment opportunities of late is the bank debt market, where banks sell off the debt they hold in distressed high-yield companies. In so doing, the banks sell the debt at a significant discount, opening up the possibility of capital appreciation for the purchaser. This is a developing secondary market that is currently rife with inefficiencies, creating very appealing values for the opportunistic and flexible investor. We've been able to locate particular opportunities in the bank debt carried by the high-yield companies that we follow regularly with our experienced research department, including XO Communications and McLeodUSA. Bank debt also is an attractive option since it is senior in the capital structure to high-yield bonds and most often secured by company assets. Therefore, if a company encounters financial difficulties, the bank debt must be paid off before the company's high-yield bonds. While bank debt currently accounts for less than 5% of the fund's assets, it's yet another area where we can put our expertise to work in order to unearth possibilities for income and capital appreciation."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2001

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. 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. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

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

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 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.

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 litigation proceeds, paydown

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders - continued

gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales transactions.

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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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

Restricted Securities - continued

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 annual 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. Each class pays 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

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included 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 $3.475 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $95,000 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.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund, (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2001, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor High Yield Fund as of October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond 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 that is reflected in returns after September 3, 1996. Returns between September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first offered) and September 3, 1996 are those of Class T and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those of the Institutional Class, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to September 10, 1992 would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

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 Lehman Brothers® Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of government and investment-grade corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and 10 years. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the short-intermediate investment grade debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 121 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 Intermediate Bond Fund - Class A on October 31, 1991, and the current 3.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,763 - an 87.63% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $20,346 - a 103.46% 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 $10.93 over the past one month, $10.75 over the past six months and $10.65 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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 3.75% sales charge.

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 T shares took place on September 10, 1992. Class T shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in returns after September 10, 1992. Returns prior to that date are those of the Institutional Class, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class T shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to September 10, 1992 would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

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 T's returns to those of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of government and investment-grade corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and 10 years. To measure how Class T's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the short-intermediate investment grade debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 121 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund - Class T on October 31, 1991, and the current 2.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,878 - an 88.78% increase on the initial investment.

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.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds provided some of the best returns of any asset class, continuing a two-year trend that coincided with extreme volatility in the equity markets. While stocks generally posted double-digit losses, investment-grade bonds saw double-digit advances, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This trend was furthered during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2001. In that time, the Lehman Brothers index - a proxy for taxable-bond performance - returned 14.56%. On a year-to-date basis through October, the index was up nearly 11%. If the benchmark finishes 2001 with a return of more than 10%, it will mark the first time since 1985-1986 that it recorded double-digit gains in two consecutive years. The various categories of investment-grade taxable bonds performed similarly well during the past 12 months. Corporates had a slight performance edge as investors shifted toward higher-yielding securities for most of the period. The Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index was up 15.80% for the year. Agencies were right behind at 15.46%, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Treasuries gained significant ground after the terrorist attacks of September 11, as investors searched for investments with less credit risk. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 14.95% during the 12-month period. High levels of prepayment activity held back the returns of mortgage bonds somewhat, but the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index still gained a solid 13.08%.

An interview with Andrew Dudley, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Andy?

A. For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2001, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 13.28%, 13.11%, 12.40% and 12.34%, respectively. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the return for the short-intermediate investment grade debt funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc. was 11.45%. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index returned 14.25%.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What factors drove the fund's performance during the period?

A. Short- and intermediate-term securities performed quite well, propelled by rapidly declining interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board has cut rates on nine separate occasions by a total of four percentage points so far in 2001. The early cuts were aimed at reviving a sluggish economy. The two most recent cuts - which took place after the events of September 11 - were designed to stabilize the global financial markets and prevent a recession from deepening. As rates and bond yields declined, short-term securities posted the largest percentage gains, followed by intermediate- and long-term bonds. That's because short-maturity and, to a lesser extent, intermediate-term bonds, are more closely tied to Fed actions than longer-term securities.

Q. What were your principal strategies throughout the year?

A. In the corporate bond sector - which made up about 46% of the fund's assets at the end of the period - I maintained a defensive posture, focusing on industries with a history of holding up reasonably well during economic slumps, including utilities, and sectors that were already priced to reflect a potential slowdown, such as real estate investment trusts. Also, I made some additions to the fund's stake in corporate bonds with higher credit ratings. That said, the fund's stake in lower-quality bonds trailed their higher-quality counterparts as the economy deteriorated.

Q. How did the fund's stake in mortgage securities - which made up about 9% of assets at the end of the period - affect performance?

A. Mortgage securities performed well and were a significant contributor to the fund's performance. In fact, prices of many of the most actively traded U.S. mortgage securities rose to historic highs at the end of October, thanks to investors' growing appetite for high-quality, higher-yielding alternatives to U.S. Treasury securities. That said, the mortgage market had to contend with several waves of refinancing activity as falling interest rates spurred record numbers of borrowers to refinance their home loans. Investors typically dislike rapid prepayment activity because it potentially forces them to reinvest the proceeds at lower prevailing interest rates. Security selection within the mortgage market also was a plus for performance. I emphasized mortgage securities that had some measure of protection against prepayments, and they performed relatively well. These included 15-year mortgage securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Q. Were there any disappointments?

A. The fund's stake in agency securities was small relative to the market overall, which hurt returns somewhat given how well they performed during the year. Various government proposals designed to alter the nature of the relationship between some agencies and the government faded from view for a bit, providing a more favorable backdrop for agency securities.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Given evidence that the economy continues to weaken, the bond market is priced such that it seemingly is expecting more interest-rate cuts to come. If there are further rate cuts in the offing, bonds likely would benefit, just as they have during most of the past year. If, on the other hand, signs of an economic rebound emerge, interest rates may stabilize. Against a falling or stable interest-rate environment, I'm optimistic about the outlook for bonds that offer yield advantages over Treasuries, including corporate, mortgage and agency securities. To the extent that investors look for high-quality, higher-yielding alternatives to Treasuries, those segments of the market should benefit.

Andrew Dudley on the suspension of auctions of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds:

"The 30-year Treasury bond, also known as the ´long bond,' has been a steady feature of U.S. fixed-income markets since it was first regularly issued in the 1970s. Since then, it has become a proxy for interest rates and is the standard against which other fixed-income investments are measured. In late October, the U.S. Treasury surprised many with its announcement that it would suspend its future auctions of 30-year bonds. According to Treasury officials, the move would cut borrowing costs since the government currently pays higher rates for long-term bonds than for short-term notes and bills. Other observers pointed out that the Treasury - perhaps working with the blessing of the Federal Reserve Board - also might have been intent on bringing down stubbornly high long-term rates as a means of stimulating the economy. The market's immediate reaction was to push the prices of 30-year Treasuries significantly higher, anticipating a scarcity of the long bond in the months to come. At the same time, more corporations began to issue more long-term bonds, looking to take advantage of lower long-term borrowing costs. Looking ahead, the suspension of the 30-year auction may mean that the spread - or the difference in yield - between Treasuries on the one side and agency, mortgage and corporate securities on the other side - will remain wider than historical norms, a reflection of the scarcity of Treasuries and an abundant supply of other types of bonds."

If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of voluntary waivers reflects expenses after reimbursements 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond 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 four 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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

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 paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, 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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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 funds, 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 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

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

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.

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 .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is

Management Fee - continued

based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .43% 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. Each class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from, 3% 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:

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

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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

5. Security Lending.

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

securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. Expense Reductions.

Through arrangements with the fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $3,352. During the period credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond 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 past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Institutional Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, 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 Lehman Brothers® Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of government and investment-grade corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and 10 years. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the short-intermediate investment grade debt funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 121 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 Intermediate Bond Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $20,021 - a 100.21% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $20,346 - a 103.46% 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 $10.95 over the past one month, $10.77 over the past six months and $10.67 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds provided some of the best returns of any asset class, continuing a two-year trend that coincided with extreme volatility in the equity markets. While stocks generally posted double-digit losses, investment-grade bonds saw double-digit advances, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This trend was furthered during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2001. In that time, the Lehman Brothers index - a proxy for taxable-bond performance - returned 14.56%. On a year-to-date basis through October, the index was up nearly 11%. If the benchmark finishes 2001 with a return of more than 10%, it will mark the first time since 1985-1986 that it recorded double-digit gains in two consecutive years. The various categories of investment-grade taxable bonds performed similarly well during the past 12 months. Corporates had a slight performance edge as investors shifted toward higher-yielding securities for most of the period. The Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index was up 15.80% for the year. Agencies were right behind at 15.46%, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Treasuries gained significant ground after the terrorist attacks of September 11, as investors searched for investments with less credit risk. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 14.95% during the 12-month period. High levels of prepayment activity held back the returns of mortgage bonds somewhat, but the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index still gained a solid 13.08%.

An interview with Andrew Dudley, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Andy?

A. For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2001, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 13.45%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the return for the short-intermediate investment grade debt funds average as tracked by Lipper Inc. was 11.45%. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index returned 14.25%.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What factors drove the fund's performance during the period?

A. Short- and intermediate-term securities performed quite well, propelled by rapidly declining interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board has cut rates on nine separate occasions by a total of four percentage points so far in 2001. The early cuts were aimed at reviving a sluggish economy. The two most recent cuts - which took place after the events of September 11 - were designed to stabilize the global financial markets and prevent a recession from deepening. As rates and bond yields declined, short-term securities posted the largest percentage gains, followed by intermediate- and long-term bonds. That's because short-maturity and, to a lesser extent, intermediate-term bonds, are more closely tied to Fed actions than longer-term securities.

Q. What were your principal strategies throughout the year?

A. In the corporate bond sector - which made up about 46% of the fund's assets at the end of the period - I maintained a defensive posture, focusing on industries with a history of holding up reasonably well during economic slumps, including utilities, and sectors that were already priced to reflect a potential slowdown, such as real estate investment trusts. Also, I made some additions to the fund's stake in corporate bonds with higher credit ratings. That said, the fund's stake in lower-quality bonds trailed their higher-quality counterparts as the economy deteriorated.

Q. How did the fund's stake in mortgage securities - which made up about 9% of assets at the end of the period - affect performance?

A. Mortgage securities performed well and were a significant contributor to the fund's performance. In fact, prices of many of the most actively traded U.S. mortgage securities rose to historic highs at the end of October, thanks to investors' growing appetite for high-quality, higher-yielding alternatives to U.S. Treasury securities. That said, the mortgage market had to contend with several waves of refinancing activity as falling interest rates spurred record numbers of borrowers to refinance their home loans. Investors typically dislike rapid prepayment activity because it potentially forces them to reinvest the proceeds at lower prevailing interest rates. Security selection within the mortgage market also was a plus for performance. I emphasized mortgage securities that had some measure of protection against prepayments, and they performed relatively well. These included 15-year mortgage securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Q. Were there any disappointments?

A. The fund's stake in agency securities was small relative to the market overall, which hurt returns somewhat given how well they performed during the year. Various government proposals designed to alter the nature of the relationship between some agencies and the government faded from view for a bit, providing a more favorable backdrop for agency securities.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Given evidence that the economy continues to weaken, the bond market is priced such that it seemingly is expecting more interest-rate cuts to come. If there are further rate cuts in the offing, bonds likely would benefit, just as they have during most of the past year. If, on the other hand, signs of an economic rebound emerge, interest rates may stabilize. Against a falling or stable interest-rate environment, I'm optimistic about the outlook for bonds that offer yield advantages over Treasuries, including corporate, mortgage and agency securities. To the extent that investors look for high-quality, higher-yielding alternatives to Treasuries, those segments of the market should benefit.

Andrew Dudley on the suspension of auctions of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds:

"The 30-year Treasury bond, also known as the ´long bond,' has been a steady feature of U.S. fixed-income markets since it was first regularly issued in the 1970s. Since then, it has become a proxy for interest rates and is the standard against which other fixed-income investments are measured. In late October, the U.S. Treasury surprised many with its announcement that it would suspend its future auctions of 30-year bonds. According to Treasury officials, the move would cut borrowing costs since the government currently pays higher rates for long-term bonds than for short-term notes and bills. Other observers pointed out that the Treasury - perhaps working with the blessing of the Federal Reserve Board - also might have been intent on bringing down stubbornly high long-term rates as a means of stimulating the economy. The market's immediate reaction was to push the prices of 30-year Treasuries significantly higher, anticipating a scarcity of the long bond in the months to come. At the same time, more corporations began to issue more long-term bonds, looking to take advantage of lower long-term borrowing costs. Looking ahead, the suspension of the 30-year auction may mean that the spread - or the difference in yield - between Treasuries on the one side and agency, mortgage and corporate securities on the other side - will remain wider than historical norms, a reflection of the scarcity of Treasuries and an abundant supply of other types of bonds."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

For the period ended October 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond 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 four 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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

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 paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, 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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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 funds, 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 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

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

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.

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 .30% 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 annual management fee rate was .43% 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. Each class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets.

The deferred sales charges range from, 3% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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

5. Security Lending.

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

securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. Expense Reductions.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II) at October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Intermedite Bond Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2001 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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.

If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Annual Report

Fidelity Mortgage Securities Fund - Initial 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.

Cumulative total returns show Initial Class' performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, 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 Initial Class' returns to the performance of the Lehman Brothers® Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - a market value-weighted index of fixed-rate securities that represent interests in pools of mortgage loans with original terms of 15 and 30 years that are issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC), and balloon mortgages with fixed-rate coupons. To measure how Initial Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the U.S. mortgage funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 61 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of 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® Mortgage Securities Fund - Initial Class on October 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $20,711 - a 107.11% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $20,669 - a 106.69% 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. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.05 over the past one month, $10.90 over the past six months and $10.83 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds provided some of the best returns of any asset class, continuing a two-year trend that coincided with extreme volatility in the equity markets. While stocks generally posted double-digit losses, investment-grade bonds saw double-digit advances, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This trend was furthered during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2001. In that time, the Lehman Brothers index - a proxy for taxable-bond performance - returned 14.56%. On a year-to-date basis through October, the index was up nearly 11%. If the benchmark finishes 2001 with a return of more than 10%, it will mark the first time since 1985-1986 that it recorded double-digit gains in two consecutive years. The various categories of investment-grade taxable bonds performed similarly well during the past 12 months. Corporates had a slight performance edge as investors shifted toward higher-yielding securities for most of the period. The Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index was up 15.80% for the year. Agencies were right behind at 15.46%, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Treasuries gained significant ground after the terrorist attacks of September 11, as investors searched for investments with less credit risk. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 14.95% during the 12-month period. High levels of prepayment activity held back the returns of mortgage bonds somewhat, but the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index still gained a solid 13.08%.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2001, the fund's Initial Class shares returned 12.44%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the U.S. mortgage funds average returned 12.59% for the same 12-month period, according to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 13.08%.

Q. What factors influenced the fund's performance during the past 12 months?

A. Falling interest rates translated into very strong returns for most fixed-income investments, including mortgage securities. A year ago, there was growing evidence that the economy was slowing, fueling expectations that the Federal Reserve Board would cut interest rates in 2001 to stimulate the economy. Just the expectation for lower rates was enough to push bond yields lower and their prices higher. When the economy continued to weaken at a much faster-than-expected rate, the Fed decisively slashed interest rates in January in order to stimulate growth and avoid a recession. The Fed would repeat that action in ensuing months as more evidence supported the fear that the U.S. economy was veering close to a recession. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Fed stepped in again to steady the global financial markets and hopefully moderate the severity of the downturn. All told, the Fed cut short-term rates nine times during the period to levels not seen since the early 1960s. As interest rates plummeted, mortgage security prices rose, although their performance lagged their U.S. Treasury counterparts during the period.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What prevented mortgage securities from doing as well as Treasuries?

A. In a word, prepayment. It's one of the biggest challenges a mortgage investor faces and occurs when homeowners refinance their mortgages or sell a house and retire their mortgages. While a refinancing boom is beneficial for homeowners and the economy, it's less welcome by mortgage bondholders. That's because prepayment shortens the effective lives of mortgage securities and makes them less attractive to investors who may have to turn around and reinvest the proceeds at lower rates. Of course, the speed and degree to which interest rates fell provided a powerful incentive for near-record numbers of homeowners to refinance their mortgages. Furthermore, technological advances in processing refinancing applications have made it easier and cheaper than ever to refinance. In the first six months of this year alone, 2.5 million homeowners traded their mortgages in for lower rate loans. Through the end of October, that rapid rate of refinancing activity hadn't shown any signs of abating.

Q. What steps did you take to minimize the effects of accelerated prepayment activity?

A. Instead of maintaining a strict focus on prepayment-sensitive, plain vanilla 30-year pass-throughs, which represent a direct ownership interest in a pool of ordinary home loan mortgage securities, I increasingly looked for more creative options among bonds with less prepayment sensitivity. At the end of the period, more than 30% of the fund's investments were in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). CMOs are somewhat complex securities that allow cash flows to be directed so that different classes of securities with different maturities can be created. CMBS are securities made up of mortgages on commercial, rather than residential, properties and often come with provisions that curtail the mortgage holder's opportunity to refinance. My choices within these two subsectors of the mortgage market generally benefited the fund.

Q. In terms of the "plain vanilla" pass-throughs you were referring to, what choices did you make there?

A. Mortgage investors had fewer and fewer options as the year wore on, and older, more expensive mortgages became a thing of the past due to refinancing. At the end of the period, the vast majority of the fund's investments were concentrated in securities with coupons of 6% to 8%. The lower coupons offered some protection against prepayment while the higher coupons provided extra yield for the fund. The year's main disappointment resulted from having too few 15-year securities, which are less likely to be prepaid. Although 15-year mortgages tend to outperform 30-year mortgages as prepayment accelerates, their lower yields can be a disadvantage during a more stable interest-rate environment.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Given that mortgage securities offer attractive values at current levels, with yields well in excess of U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities, I'm optimistic about the prospects for the mortgage market. To the extent that investors seek out high-quality securities with yields exceeding Treasuries, mortgage securities should benefit.

Tom Silvia on the growth of the mortgage securities market:

"Since 1970, when the first pass-through mortgage security was issued with a guarantee from the government-owned Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the mortgage securities market has expanded at a very rapid pace. Just a decade ago, the total volume of outstanding mortgage securities - those issued by Ginnie Mae, government sponsored enterprises such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and private institutions including investment banks and homebuilders - stood at about $1.2 trillion. By the end of 2000, the total volume of outstanding mortgage securities approached $2.5 trillion, making it one of the largest and most liquid bond markets in the world. Demand for mortgage securities, meanwhile, also has increased as more investors - both domestic and foreign, individual and institutional - sought out mortgage securities for their generally attractive yields compared to U.S. Treasury securities. A recent development may help accelerate that trend. In late October, the U.S. Treasury announced that it would suspend issuance of the 30-year Treasury bond, which was the highest-yielding Treasury bond available at the time. If investors look for other higher-yielding alternatives to the long bond, mortgage securities may be one of the prime beneficiaries."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Effective the close of business on February 28, 1997, the fund's Initial Class was closed to new accounts. 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, Initial Class 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. The fund commenced sale of Class C shares on August 16, 2001. 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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Income. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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.

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 paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, 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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

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.

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.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Management Fee - continued

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% 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 annual management fee rate was .43% 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. Each class pays 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.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 4.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

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

The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II) at October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2001 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities 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 March 3, 1997. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to March 3, 1997 would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show Class A's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, 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 A's returns to the performance of the Lehman Brothers® Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - a market value-weighted index of fixed-rate securities that represent interests in pools of mortgage loans with original terms of 15 and 30 years that are issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC), and balloon mortgages with fixed-rate coupons. To measure how Class A's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the U.S. mortgage funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 61 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of 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 Mortgage Securities Fund - Class A on October 31, 1991, and the current 4.75% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $19,520 - a 95.20% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $20,669 - a 106.69% 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. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.04 over the past one month, $10.88 over the past six months, and $10.81 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund - Class T on October 31, 1991, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $19,711 - a 97.11% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $20,669 - a 106.69% 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. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.05 over the past one month, $10.89 over the past six months, and $10.82 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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 T's current 3.50% sales charge.

Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund - Class B

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 B shares took place on March 3, 1997. Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, the original class of the fund, which does not bear a 12b-1 fee. Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to March 3, 1997 would have been lower. Class B's contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year and past 10 year total return figures are 5%, 2% and 0%, respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

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 B's returns to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - a market value-weighted index of fixed-rate securities that represent interests in pools of mortgage loans with original terms of 15 and 30 years that are issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC), and balloon mortgages with fixed-rate coupons. To measure how Class B's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the U.S. mortgage funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 61 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds provided some of the best returns of any asset class, continuing a two-year trend that coincided with extreme volatility in the equity markets. While stocks generally posted double-digit losses, investment-grade bonds saw double-digit advances, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This trend was furthered during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2001. In that time, the Lehman Brothers index - a proxy for taxable-bond performance - returned 14.56%. On a year-to-date basis through October, the index was up nearly 11%. If the benchmark finishes 2001 with a return of more than 10%, it will mark the first time since 1985-1986 that it recorded double-digit gains in two consecutive years. The various categories of investment-grade taxable bonds performed similarly well during the past 12 months. Corporates had a slight performance edge as investors shifted toward higher-yielding securities for most of the period. The Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index was up 15.80% for the year. Agencies were right behind at 15.46%, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Treasuries gained significant ground after the terrorist attacks of September 11, as investors searched for investments with less credit risk. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 14.95% during the 12-month period. High levels of prepayment activity held back the returns of mortgage bonds somewhat, but the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index still gained a solid 13.08%.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2001, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 12.15%, 12.09%, 11.32% and 11.20%, respectively. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the U.S. mortgage funds average returned 12.59% for the same 12-month period, according to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 13.08%.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What factors influenced the fund's performance during the past 12 months?

A. Falling interest rates translated into very strong returns for most fixed-income investments, including mortgage securities. A year ago, there was growing evidence that the economy was slowing, fueling expectations that the Federal Reserve Board would cut interest rates in 2001 to stimulate the economy. Just the expectation for lower rates was enough to push bond yields lower and their prices higher. When the economy continued to weaken at a much faster-than-expected rate, the Fed decisively slashed interest rates in January in order to stimulate growth and avoid a recession. The Fed would repeat that action in ensuing months as more evidence supported the fear that the U.S. economy was veering close to a recession. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Fed stepped in again to steady the global financial markets and hopefully moderate the severity of the downturn. All told, the Fed cut short-term rates nine times during the period to levels not seen since the early 1960s. As interest rates plummeted, mortgage security prices rose, although their performance lagged their U.S. Treasury counterparts during the period.

Q. What prevented mortgage securities from doing as well as Treasuries?

A. In a word, prepayment. It's one of the biggest challenges a mortgage investor faces and occurs when homeowners refinance their mortgages or sell a house and retire their mortgages. While a refinancing boom is beneficial for homeowners and the economy, it's less welcome by mortgage bondholders. That's because prepayment shortens the effective lives of mortgage securities and makes them less attractive to investors who may have to turn around and reinvest the proceeds at lower rates. Of course, the speed and degree to which interest rates fell provided a powerful incentive for near-record numbers of homeowners to refinance their mortgages. Furthermore, technological advances in processing refinancing applications have made it easier and cheaper than ever to refinance. In the first six months of this year alone, 2.5 million homeowners traded their mortgages in for lower rate loans. Through the end of October, that rapid rate of refinancing activity hadn't shown any signs of abating.

Q. What steps did you take to minimize the effects of accelerated prepayment activity?

A. Instead of maintaining a strict focus on prepayment-sensitive, plain vanilla 30-year pass-throughs, which represent a direct ownership interest in a pool of ordinary home loan mortgage securities, I increasingly looked for more creative options among bonds with less prepayment sensitivity. At the end of the period, more than 30% of the fund's investments were in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). CMOs are somewhat complex securities that allow cash flows to be directed so that different classes of securities with different maturities can be created. CMBS are securities made up of mortgages on commercial, rather than residential, properties and often come with provisions that curtail the mortgage holder's opportunity to refinance. My choices within these two subsectors of the mortgage market generally benefited the fund.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. In terms of the "plain vanilla" pass-throughs you were referring to, what choices did you make there?

A. Mortgage investors had fewer and fewer options as the year wore on, and older, more expensive mortgages became a thing of the past due to refinancing. At the end of the period, the vast majority of the fund's investments were concentrated in securities with coupons of 6% to 8%. The lower coupons offered some protection against prepayment while the higher coupons provided extra yield for the fund. The year's main disappointment resulted from having too few 15-year securities, which are less likely to be prepaid. Although 15-year mortgages tend to outperform 30-year mortgages as prepayment accelerates, their lower yields can be a disadvantage during a more stable interest-rate environment.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Given that mortgage securities offer attractive values at current levels, with yields well in excess of U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities, I'm optimistic about the prospects for the mortgage market. To the extent that investors seek out high-quality securities with yields exceeding Treasuries, mortgage securities should benefit.

Tom Silvia on the growth of the mortgage securities market:

"Since 1970, when the first pass-through mortgage security was issued with a guarantee from the government-owned Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the mortgage securities market has expanded at a very rapid pace. Just a decade ago, the total volume of outstanding mortgage securities - those issued by Ginnie Mae, government sponsored enterprises such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and private institutions including investment banks and homebuilders - stood at about $1.2 trillion. By the end of 2000, the total volume of outstanding mortgage securities approached $2.5 trillion, making it one of the largest and most liquid bond markets in the world. Demand for mortgage securities, meanwhile, also has increased as more investors - both domestic and foreign, individual and institutional - sought out mortgage securities for their generally attractive yields compared to U.S. Treasury securities. A recent development may help accelerate that trend. In late October, the U.S. Treasury announced that it would suspend issuance of the 30-year Treasury bond, which was the highest-yielding Treasury bond available at the time. If investors look for other higher-yielding alternatives to the long bond, mortgage securities may be one of the prime beneficiaries."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

For the period ended October 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Effective the close of business on February 28, 1997, the fund's Initial Class was closed to new accounts. 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, Initial Class 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. The fund commenced sale of Class C shares on August 16, 2001. 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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Income. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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.

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 paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, 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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

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.

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.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Management Fee - continued

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% 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 annual management fee rate was .43% 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. Each class pays 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:

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.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II) at October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2001 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

The three major benchmarks of U.S. stock market performance - the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM, Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and NASDAQ Composite® Index - recorded gains in October 2001, the first time since April that all three indexes had positive monthly returns. However, each still dwelled in double-digit negative territory for the year overall. Conversely, nearly every investment-grade bond category enjoyed a year-to-date gain of 10% or more.

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

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities 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 March 3, 1997. Returns prior to March 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, the original class of the fund. 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, 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 the performance of the Lehman Brothers® Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - a market value-weighted index of fixed-rate securities that represent interests in pools of mortgage loans with original terms of 15 and 30 years that are issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC), and balloon mortgages with fixed-rate coupons. To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the U.S. mortgage funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 61 mutual funds. These benchmarks reflect reinvestment of 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 Mortgage Securities Fund - Institutional Class on October 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by October 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $20,622 - a 106.22% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $20,669 - a 106.69% 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. If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.03 over the past one month, $10.87 over the past six months, and $10.80 over the past one year, you can compare the class' income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized yield is a standard formula for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds 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 5.37%.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

Market Recap

Investment-grade bonds provided some of the best returns of any asset class, continuing a two-year trend that coincided with extreme volatility in the equity markets. While stocks generally posted double-digit losses, investment-grade bonds saw double-digit advances, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This trend was furthered during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2001. In that time, the Lehman Brothers index - a proxy for taxable-bond performance - returned 14.56%. On a year-to-date basis through October, the index was up nearly 11%. If the benchmark finishes 2001 with a return of more than 10%, it will mark the first time since 1985-1986 that it recorded double-digit gains in two consecutive years. The various categories of investment-grade taxable bonds performed similarly well during the past 12 months. Corporates had a slight performance edge as investors shifted toward higher-yielding securities for most of the period. The Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index was up 15.80% for the year. Agencies were right behind at 15.46%, according to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index. Treasuries gained significant ground after the terrorist attacks of September 11, as investors searched for investments with less credit risk. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 14.95% during the 12-month period. High levels of prepayment activity held back the returns of mortgage bonds somewhat, but the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index still gained a solid 13.08%.

An interview with Tom Silvia, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund

Q. How did the fund perform, Tom?

A. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2001, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 12.27%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the U.S. mortgage funds average returned 12.59% for the same 12-month period, according to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 13.08%.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. What factors influenced the fund's performance during the past 12 months?

A. Falling interest rates translated into very strong returns for most fixed-income investments, including mortgage securities. A year ago, there was growing evidence that the economy was slowing, fueling expectations that the Federal Reserve Board would cut interest rates in 2001 to stimulate the economy. Just the expectation for lower rates was enough to push bond yields lower and their prices higher. When the economy continued to weaken at a much faster-than-expected rate, the Fed decisively slashed interest rates in January in order to stimulate growth and avoid a recession. The Fed would repeat that action in ensuing months as more evidence supported the fear that the U.S. economy was veering close to a recession. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Fed stepped in again to steady the global financial markets and hopefully moderate the severity of the downturn. All told, the Fed cut short-term rates nine times during the period to levels not seen since the early 1960s. As interest rates plummeted, mortgage security prices rose, although their performance lagged their U.S. Treasury counterparts during the period.

Q. What prevented mortgage securities from doing as well as Treasuries?

A. In a word, prepayment. It's one of the biggest challenges a mortgage investor faces and occurs when homeowners refinance their mortgages or sell a house and retire their mortgages. While a refinancing boom is beneficial for homeowners and the economy, it's less welcome by mortgage bondholders. That's because prepayment shortens the effective lives of mortgage securities and makes them less attractive to investors who may have to turn around and reinvest the proceeds at lower rates. Of course, the speed and degree to which interest rates fell provided a powerful incentive for near-record numbers of homeowners to refinance their mortgages. Furthermore, technological advances in processing refinancing applications have made it easier and cheaper than ever to refinance. In the first six months of this year alone, 2.5 million homeowners traded their mortgages in for lower rate loans. Through the end of October, that rapid rate of refinancing activity hadn't shown any signs of abating.

Q. What steps did you take to minimize the effects of accelerated prepayment activity?

A. Instead of maintaining a strict focus on prepayment-sensitive, plain vanilla 30-year pass-throughs, which represent a direct ownership interest in a pool of ordinary home loan mortgage securities, I increasingly looked for more creative options among bonds with less prepayment sensitivity. At the end of the period, more than 30% of the fund's investments were in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). CMOs are somewhat complex securities that allow cash flows to be directed so that different classes of securities with different maturities can be created. CMBS are securities made up of mortgages on commercial, rather than residential, properties and often come with provisions that curtail the mortgage holder's opportunity to refinance. My choices within these two subsectors of the mortgage market generally benefited the fund.

Annual Report

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued

Q. In terms of the "plain vanilla" pass-throughs you were referring to, what choices did you make there?

A. Mortgage investors had fewer and fewer options as the year wore on, and older, more expensive mortgages became a thing of the past due to refinancing. At the end of the period, the vast majority of the fund's investments were concentrated in securities with coupons of 6% to 8%. The lower coupons offered some protection against prepayment while the higher coupons provided extra yield for the fund. The year's main disappointment resulted from having too few 15-year securities, which are less likely to be prepaid. Although 15-year mortgages tend to outperform 30-year mortgages as prepayment accelerates, their lower yields can be a disadvantage during a more stable interest-rate environment.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Given that mortgage securities offer attractive values at current levels, with yields well in excess of U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities, I'm optimistic about the prospects for the mortgage market. To the extent that investors seek out high-quality securities with yields exceeding Treasuries, mortgage securities should benefit.

Tom Silvia on the growth of the mortgage securities market:

"Since 1970, when the first pass-through mortgage security was issued with a guarantee from the government-owned Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the mortgage securities market has expanded at a very rapid pace. Just a decade ago, the total volume of outstanding mortgage securities - those issued by Ginnie Mae, government sponsored enterprises such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and private institutions including investment banks and homebuilders - stood at about $1.2 trillion. By the end of 2000, the total volume of outstanding mortgage securities approached $2.5 trillion, making it one of the largest and most liquid bond markets in the world. Demand for mortgage securities, meanwhile, also has increased as more investors - both domestic and foreign, individual and institutional - sought out mortgage securities for their generally attractive yields compared to U.S. Treasury securities. A recent development may help accelerate that trend. In late October, the U.S. Treasury announced that it would suspend issuance of the 30-year Treasury bond, which was the highest-yielding Treasury bond available at the time. If investors look for other higher-yielding alternatives to the long bond, mortgage securities may be one of the prime beneficiaries."

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended October 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Effective the close of business on February 28, 1997, the fund's Initial Class was closed to new accounts. 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, Initial Class 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. The fund commenced sale of Class C shares on August 16, 2001. 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. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

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."

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Income. Interest income is accrued as earned.

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.

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 paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market discount, 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 will adopt the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and will begin amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. This accounting principle change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to net investment income.

The cumulative effect of this accounting change will not have an impact on total net assets but will result in an increase or decrease to the cost of securities held and a corresponding change to accumulated net undistributed realized gain (loss).

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.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

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.

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 - continued

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% 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 annual management fee rate was .43% 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. Each class pays 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.

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.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series II and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund (a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series II) at October 31, 2001, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Advisor Mortgage Securities Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2001 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
