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.

The following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Investment-Grade Fixed-Income Funds" in the "Description of Underlying Fidelity Funds" section on page 32 for Fidelity Government Income Fund.

FMR normally invests the fund's assets in U.S. Government securities and instruments related to U.S. Government securities. FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements for those securities. FMR does not currently intend to invest more than 40% of the fund's assets in mortgage securities.

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. Many lower-quality debt securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions limiting FMR's ability to resell the securities to the general public. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks. FMR currently intends to limit common stocks to 10% of the fund's total assets. FMR may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings.

The following information supplements similar information found under the heading "Investment-Grade Fixed-Income Funds" in the "Description of Underlying Fidelity Funds" section beginning on page 34 for Fidelity High Income Fund.

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.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

May 24, 2002

On October 17, 2002, the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Capital & Income Fund and Fidelity High Income Fund authorized the reduction of the funds' redemption fee period from 270 days to 90 days. Redemptions after October 18, 2002 of shares held less than 90 days will be subject to a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount redeemed.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Performance"section on page 26.

Yield Calculations (Bond and Equity Funds). Yields for a fund are computed by dividing a fund's interest and dividend income for a given 30-day or one-month period, net of expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions during the period, dividing this figure by the fund's NAV or offering price, as applicable at the end of the period, and annualizing the result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual percentage rate. Yields do not reflect Capital & Income's, Diversified International's, Europe's, High Income's, Japan's, Mid-Cap Stock's, Overseas', and Southeast Asia's short-term trading fee. Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond funds. Dividends from equity securities are treated as if they were accrued on a daily basis, solely for the purposes of yield calculations. In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily income. For a fund's investments denominated in foreign currencies, income and expenses are calculated first in their respective currencies, and then are converted to U.S. dollars, either when they are actually converted or at the end of the 30-day or one month period, whichever is earlier. Income is adjusted to reflect gains and losses from principal repayments received by a fund with respect to mortgage-related securities and other asset-backed securities. Other capital gains and losses generally are excluded from the calculation as are gains and losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The following information replaces similar information found in the "Performance"sectionon page 26.

In addition to average annual returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or cumulative returns reflecting the simple change in value of an investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time period. Returns may be broken down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) to illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to return. Returns may be quoted on a before-tax and an after-tax basis. Returns may or may not include the effect of a fund's short-term trading fee, the effect of a fund's maximum sales charge, or the effect of a fund's small balance maintenance fee. Excluding a fund's short-term trading fee, sales charge, or small balance maintenance fee from a return calculation produces a higher return figure. Returns, yields, if applicable, and other performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar illustration.
