The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Domestic Equity Funds" in the "Description of Underlying Fidelity Funds" section on page 28 for Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in common stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of medium market capitalization companies does not exist, FMR generally defines medium market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap or the S&P® MidCap 400. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. Companies whose capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase continue to be considered to have a medium market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.

FMR uses the credit quality distribution of an index representing the overall high yield bond market as a guide in structuring the fund's credit quality composition. FMR generally expects the fund to be less heavily invested in issuers with the lowest credit ratings than the index weighting of such issuers. As of June 29, 2002, FMR used the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index to represent the overall high yield bond market.
