Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposals

Please read the full text of the proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposals to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.

<R>Q. What am I being asked to vote on?</R>

<R>A. The Board of Trustees of the Fidelity funds, with the support of Fidelity Management & Research Co. (FMR), has decided to create a two-Board structure. In connection with this decision, you are being asked to elect a Board of Trustees to oversee the funds you own.</R>

<R>You also are being asked to amend the Declaration of Trust for your funds to reduce the required quorum for future shareholder meetings.</R>

<R>Q. What do you mean by a two-Board structure?</R>

<R>A. Historically, the Board of each Fidelity fund has consisted of the same group of individual Trustees who serve as Trustees for all other Fidelity funds. In effect, the Fidelity funds have been overseen by a single Board of Trustees. The Trustees of the Fidelity funds --- with the support of FMR --- have made a decision to reorganize themselves into two separate groups and thereby create two Boards. One Board will oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds (currently [212](214 funds with approximate assets of [$862] billion)over $877 billion as of November 30, 2007), while the second Board will oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds (currently [154](156 funds with approximate assets of [$442] billion)over $477 billion as of November 30, 2007).</R>

<R>Q. Why did the Board decide to create a two-Board structure?</R>

<R>A. The decision was based on three specific factors:</R>

• Fidelity's mutual fund business continues to diversify into new asset classes and product types. For example, over the past few years, Fidelity has expanded its product line of multi-asset class funds that invest in a variety of asset classes such as preferred stocks, REITs, inflation-protected securities, floating-rate securities, and commodities. In addition, lifecycle funds and other types of packaged solutions continue to grow in popularity. As greater numbers of individuals continue to save for, and transition into, retirement, the Trustees and FMR expect an increased demand for innovative products.
• As the securities marketplace has evolved, increasingly complex investment strategies are available to Fidelity's mutual funds. For example, the fixed income marketplace has significantly expanded with new types of securities including different types of futures, options, and swaps, and that trend is likely to continue.
• Given prevailing demographic and business trends, the Trustees expect that Fidelity's mutual fund business will continue to expand. In recent years, Fidelity has made efforts to position the firm as the most trusted provider of lifetime investment solutions in the U.S. At the same time, the amount of assets held by Americans over age sixty is projected to increase dramatically between now and 2012 as the Baby Boomer generation nears and enters retirement. The Trustees and FMR believe this provides a significant growth opportunity for Fidelity's business and for the mutual fund industry as a whole. Increased interest in principal preservation and income distribution is expected to drive asset growth in Fidelity's fixed income funds and asset allocation products, in particular.

<R>Q. What is involved in creating a two-Board structure?</R>

<R>A. Some existing Trustees and Advisory Board Members are proposed to serve on the Board overseeing the equity and high income funds, while the others are proposed to serve on the Board overseeing the fixed income and asset allocation funds. In some cases, the two Boards can be created by having an existing Trustee resign and the remaining Trustees fill the vacancy. In the majority of cases, however, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) requires that a shareholder meeting be held to elect Trustees.</R>

<R>Q. When and how will the two-Board structure be implemented?</R>

<R>A. The two-Board structure will be implemented at the same time for all Fidelity funds. On August 1, 2008, or, if later, immediately after the last election is held for any Fidelity fund scheduled to elect Trustees in connection with implementing the two-Board structure, the following will occur: Current Trustees will remain on the Boards to which they have been elected or appointed and resign from the Boards on which they will no longer serve. Former Advisory Board Members that have been elected or appointed as Trustees will join the Boards on which they will serve going forward. The size of the Board that will oversee the equity and high income funds will be fixed at 10 Trustees, and the size of the Board that will oversee the fixed income and asset allocation funds will be fixed at eight Trustees.</R>

<R>Q. What is the affiliation of the Board and Fidelity?</R>

<R>A. Currently, there are two "interested" Trustees and nine "Independent" Trustees. Under the two-Board structure, it is expected that there initially will be 2 interested Trustees on each Board, 8 Independent Trustees on the equity and high income Board, and 6 Independent Trustees on the fixed income and asset allocation Board. Trustees are determined to be "interested" by virtue of, among other things, their affiliation with the funds, trusts, or various other entities under common control with FMR. Interested Trustees are compensated by FMR. Independent Trustees have no affiliation with FMR and are compensated by each individual fund. Each of the new Boards is expected to have 75 percent or more Independent Trustees.</R>

<R>Q. Will the Trustees that currently oversee my funds change?</R>

<R>A. Trustees on both Boards will continue to be experienced executives who will meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the funds, and review fund performance. However, certain changes in Board membership are proposed, depending on which Board a Trustee expects to join.</R>

<R>The current Board consists of 11 Trustees: Dennis J. Dirks, Albert R. Gamper, George H. Heilmeier, James H. Keyes, Marie L. Knowles, Ned C. Lautenbach, Cornelia M. Small, William S. Stavropoulos, and Kenneth L. Wolfe are Independent Trustees, and Edward C. Johnson 3d and James C. Curvey are interested Trustees.ArtTrustees.Arthur E. Johnson (no relation to Edward C. Johnson 3d), Alan J. Lacy, Joseph Mauriello, David M. Thomas, and Michael E. Wiley currently serve on the Advisory Board. At the time that the two-Board structure is implemented, the size of the equity and high income funds' Board will be fixed at 10 Trustees and the size of the fixed income and asset allocation funds' Board will be fixed at eight Trustees.</R>

<R>Dennis J. Dirks, Alan J. Lacy, Ned C. Lautenbach, Joseph Mauriello, Cornelia M. Small, William S. Stavropoulos, David M. Thomas, Michael E. Wiley, James C. Curvey, and Edward C. Johnson 3d are proposed to serve on the Board overseeing the equity and high income funds. Albert R. Gamper, George H. Heilmeier, ArtArthur E. Johnson, James H. Keyes, Marie L. Knowles, Kenneth L. Wolfe, James C. Curvey, and Edward C. Johnson 3d are proposed to serve on the Board overseeing the fixed income and asset allocation funds. Biographical information for each nominee for the equity and high income Board is included in the proxy statement.</R>

<R>The Trustees fully expect that the environment of strong governance of the funds and protection of the interests of fund shareholders will continue under the new structure.</R>

<R>Q. Why are you proposing to reduce the required quorum for future shareholder meetings?</R>

<R>A. Lowering the quorum requirement will facilitate holding shareholder meetings to approve important matters necessary for the conduct of the trusts' business. When not enough shareholders vote, a trust may be forced to adjourn meetings multiple times and incur the expense of additional shareholder solicitations and proxy solicitors in order to obtain the shareholder vote necessary to hold a meeting. The reduced quorum requirement is not prohibited by Massachusetts or federal law.</R>

<R>Although the lower quorum requirement will allow for the approval of some matters by shareholders constituting less than a majority of the outstanding shares, certain other proposals will still require a higher number of shares to be voted to meet the threshold required to approve the proposal. For example, the 1940 Act requires that certain items, such as management contracts and 12b-1 plans, be approved by a majority of a fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at a shareholder meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. The reduced quorum requirement will not affect such matters.</R>

<R>Q. What role does the Board play generally?</R>

<R>A. The Trustees serve as the fund shareholders' representatives. Members of the Board are fiduciaries and have an obligation to serve the best interests of shareholders, including consideration of policy changes. In addition, the Trustees review fund performance, oversee fund activities, and review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund.</R>

<R>Q. Are Board members paid?</R>

<R>A. Each Independent Trustee receives a fee for his or her service on the Board and participates in a deferred compensation plan. You can find the compensation table, which details fees that have been paid to the Trustees, in the proxy statement.</R>

<R>Q. Has the funds' Board of Trustees approved the proposals?</R>

<R>A. Yes. The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved each of the proposals, and recommends that you vote to approve them.</R>

<R>Q. Who is D.F. King & Co., Inc.?</R>

<R>A. D.F. King is a third party proxy vendor that Fidelity hires to call shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached - which currently is a majority of the shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the shareholder meeting. If quorum is not attained, the meeting must adjourn to a future date. Fidelity attempts to reach shareholders via multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote. As the meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to clients who have not yet voted their shares so that the shareholder meeting does not have to be postponed.</R>

<R>Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to make a call to you to solicit your vote.</R>

<R>Q. Who is paying for this proxy mailing and for the other solicitation costs associated with this shareholder meeting?</R>

<R>A. The expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations will be paid by each fund and class, as applicable, provided the expenses do not exceed any existing expense caps. Expenses exceeding an expense cap will be paid by FMR.</R>

<R>Q. How many votes am I entitled to cast?</R>

<R>A. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of the fund on the record date. The record date is January 22, 2008.</R>

<R>Q. How do I vote my shares?</R>

<R>A. You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also vote by touch-tone telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions. In addition, you may vote through the internet by visitingwww.proxyweb.com/www.proxyvote.com/proxy and following the on-line instructions.

<R>Q. How do I sign the proxy card?</R>

<R>A. Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names appear on the account registration shown on the card.</R>

Joint Accounts: Eitherowner may sign, but the name of the person signing should conform exactly to a name shown in the registration.

All Other Accounts: The person signing must indicate his or her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should sign, "Ann B. Collins, Trustee."

The purpose of the Meeting is set forth in the accompanying Notice. The solicitation is being made primarily by the mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy on or about January 22, 2008. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph, facsimile, electronic means or by personal interview by representatives of thetrusts. In addition, D.F. King & Co., Inc. may be paid on a per-call basis to solicit shareholders by telephone on behalf of the funds in the trusts. The funds also may also arrange to have votes recorded by telephone. D.F. King & Co., Inc. may be paid on a per-call basis for vote-by-phone solicitations on behalf of the funds. The approximate anticipated total cost of these services is detailed in Appendix B.

The expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations will be paid by each fund and class, as applicable,provided the expenses do not exceed any existing expense caps. See Appendix C for current expense cap information. Expenses exceeding an expense cap will be paid by FMR.

The funds will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares. The costs are allocated among the funds based upon the number of shareholder accounts in each fund.The costs are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of a fund based on the net assets of each class relative to the total net assets of the fund.

All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by a fund's Secretary prior to the Meeting, and are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a properly executed proxy, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted towards establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes.

<R>If a quorum is not present at a Meeting, or if a quorum is present at a Meeting but sufficient votes to approve Proposal 12 are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote with respect to each item, unless directed to vote AGAINST an item, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment with respect to that item. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the items in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.</R>

Shares of each fund and class, if applicable, issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2007 are indicated in Appendix D.

Substantial (5% or more) record and/or beneficial ownership of each fund and class, as applicable, on November 30, 2007, to the knowledge of each trust, is detailed in Appendix E.

FMR has advised the trusts that certain shares are registered to FMR or an FMR affiliate. To the extent that FMR or an FMR affiliate has discretion to vote, these shares will be voted at the Meeting FOR each proposal. Otherwise, these shares will be voted in accordance with the plan or agreement governing the shares. Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.

<R>VOTE REQUIRED: Approval of Proposal 12 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of an entire trust voted in person or by proxy at the Meeting, and a plurality of such shares is sufficient to elect trustees pursuant to Proposal 2.1. With respect to Proposal 1,2, votes to ABSTAIN and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes cast AGAINST the Proposal. With respect to Proposal 2,1, votes to ABSTAIN and broker non-votes will have no effect.</R>

<R>1. TO AMEND THE DECLARATION OF TRUST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED QUORUM FOR FUTURE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS.

Each funds' Declaration of Trust currently provides that a majority of the shares entitled to vote shall be a quorum for the transaction of business at a shareholders' meeting. As amended, the Declaration of Trust (Article VIII, Section 3) would reduce the quorum required to one-third of the shares entitled to vote.

Lowering the quorum requirement will facilitate holding shareholder meetings to approve important matters necessary for the conduct of a trust's business, such as the election of Trustees. When not enough shareholders vote, a trust may be forced to adjourn meetings multiple times and incur the expense of additional shareholder solicitations and proxy solicitors in order to obtain the shareholder vote necessary to hold a meeting. The reduced quorum requirement is not prohibited by Massachusetts or federal law.

Although the lower quorum requirement will allow for the approval of some matters by shareholders constituting less than a majority of the outstanding shares, certain other proposals will still require a higher number of shares to be voted to meet the threshold required to approve the proposal. For example, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) requires that certain items, such as management contracts and 12b-1 plans, be approved by a majority of a fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at a shareholder meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. The reduced quorum requirement will not affect such matters.

Shareholders have the right to vote on any Declaration of Trust amendment affecting their right to vote or on any matter submitted to the shareholders by the Trustees. On May 17, 2007, the Trustees approved the proposed amendment and also authorized its submission to each trust's shareholders for their approval at this Meeting.

If approved, of the Declaration of Trust will be amended as follows (new language is underlined; language to be deleted is [bracketed]):

ARTICLE VIII
SHAREHOLDERS' VOTING POWERS AND MEETINGS

QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE

Section 3.Except when a higher quorum is required by any provision of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, one-third [A majority] of Shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy shall be a quorum for the transaction of business at a Shareholders' meeting, except that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust permits or requires that holders of any Series or Class shall vote as a Series or Class thenone-third [a majority] of the aggregate number of Shares of that Series or Class entitled to vote shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that Series or Class. Any lesser number shall be sufficient for adjournments. Any adjourned session or sessions may be held, within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting, without the necessity of further notice. Except when a larger vote is required by applicable law or by any provision of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, if any, a majority of the Shares voted in person or by proxy shall decide any questions and a plurality shall elect a Trustee, provided that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust permits or requires that the holders of any Series or Class shall vote as a Series or Class, then a majority of the Shares of that Series or Class voted on the matter shall decide that matter insofar as that Series or Class is concerned. Shareholders may act by unanimous written consent. Actions taken by a Series or Class may be consented to unanimously in writing by Shareholders of that Series or Class.

Conclusion. The Board of Trustees of each trust has concluded that the proposal will benefit the trust and its shareholders. The Trustees recommend voting FOR the proposal. The amended Declaration of Trust will become effective upon shareholder approval. If the proposal is not approved by shareholders of a trust, of the Declaration of Trust will remain unchanged.

2. TO ELECT A BOARD OF TRUSTEES.</R>

<R>The purpose of this proposal is to elect a Board of Trustees in connection with creating a two-Board structure for the Fidelity family of funds. You have received this proxy statement because you own one or more Fidelity equity and/or high income funds and you are being asked to elect a Board of Trustees to oversee your funds.</R>

<R>Fidelity's mutual fund business and the broader mutual fund marketplace continue to expand and evolve. As a result, the Trustees of the Fidelity funds, together with FMR, have been considering ways to structure the Board for each Fidelity fund in order to ensure that Fidelity's mutual fund shareholders continue to be well served by Trustees in the years ahead. Historically, the Board of each Fidelity fund has consisted of the same group of individual Trustees who serve as Trustees for all other Fidelity funds. In effect, the Fidelity funds have been overseen by a single Board of Trustees. The Trustees of the Fidelity funds --- with the support of FMR --- have made a decision to reorganize themselves into two separate groups and thereby create two Boards. One Board will oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds (currently [212](214 funds with approximate assets of [$862] billion)over $877 billion as of November 30, 2007), while the second Board will oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds (currently [154](156 funds with approximate assets of [$442] billion)over $477 billion as of November 30, 2007).</R>

<R>In connection with creating two Boards, a slate of Trustees must be put in place to oversee each group of funds (the funds and trusts were aligned by investment discipline in June 2007). Some existing Trustees and Advisory Board members are proposed to serve on the Board overseeing the equity and high income funds, while the others are proposed to serve on the Board overseeing the fixed income and asset allocation funds. In some cases, the two Boards can be created by having one existing Trustee resign and the remaining Trustees fill the vacancy. In the majority of cases, however, the 1940 Act requires that a shareholder meeting be held to elect Trustees. You have received this proxy statement because you own one or more Fidelity equity and/or high income funds and you are being asked to elect a Board of Trustees to oversee your funds.</R>

The Trustees, with the support of FMR, made the decision to create a two-Board structure in order to plan for the future, and based their decision on three specific factors. First, Fidelity's mutual fund business continues to diversify into new asset classes and product types. For example, over the past few years, Fidelity has expanded its product line of multi-asset class funds that invest in a variety of asset classes such as preferred stocks, REITs, inflation-protected securities, floating-rate securities, and commodities. In addition, lifecycle funds and other types of packaged solutions continue to grow in popularity. As greater numbers of individuals continue to save for, and transition into, retirement, the Trustees and FMR expect an increased demand for innovative products.

Second, as the securities marketplace has evolved in recent years, increasingly complex investment strategies are available to Fidelity's mutual funds. For example, the fixed income marketplace has significantly expanded with new types of securities including different types of futures, options, and swaps, and that trend is likely to continue.

Finally, given prevailing demographic and business trends, the Trustees and FMR expect that Fidelity's mutual fund business will continue to expand in the future. In recent years, Fidelity has made efforts to position the firm as the most trusted provider of lifetime investment solutions in the U.S. At the same time, the amount of assets held by Americans over age sixty is projected to increase dramatically between now and 2012 as the Baby Boomer generation nears and enters retirement. The Trustees and FMR believe this provides a significant growth opportunity for Fidelity's business and for the mutual fund industry as a whole. Increased interest in principal preservation and income distribution is expected to drive asset growth in Fidelity's fixed income funds and asset allocation products, in particular.

The two-Board structure will be implemented at the same time for all Fidelity funds. On August 1, 2008, or, if later, immediately after the last election is held for any Fidelity fund scheduled to elect Trustees in connection with implementing a two-Board structure, the following will occur: Current Trustees will remain on the Boards to which they have been elected or appointed and resign from the Boards on which they will no longer serve. Former Advisory Board members that have been elected or appointed as Trustees will join the Boards on which they will serve going forward. The size of the Board that will oversee the equity and high income funds will be fixed at 10 Trustees, and the size of the Board that will oversee the fixed income and asset allocation funds will be fixed at 8 Trustees. The Trustees fully expect that the environment of strong governance of the funds and protection of the interests of fund shareholders will continue under the new structure.

<R>Except for Alan J. Lacy, Joseph Mauriello,David M. Thomas, and Michael E. Wiley, all nominees for the equity and high income Board are currently Trustees of the trusts and have served in that capacity continuously since originally elected or appointed. James C. Curvey was selected by the trust'strusts' Governance and Nominating Committee (see page 23)<Click Here>) and was appointed to the Board on May 17, 2007. Alan J. Lacy, Joseph Mauriello, David M.

[proxy transaction disclosure-insert prior<R>During the period February 1, 2006 through November 30, 2007, the holders of Voting Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock of FMR Corp. approved the mandatory conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock into a proportionate amount of Non-Voting Common Stock, cash, and an interest-bearing promissory note. The conversion did not change the number of shareholders and did not result in a change in proportionate ownership among the shareholders. In transactions during the period February 1, 2006 through November 30, 2007, a trust for the benefit of Edward C.

If elected, the Trustees will hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) a Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72^nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. In case a vacancy shall for any reason exist, the remaining Trustees will fill such vacancy by appointing another Trustee, so long as, immediately after such appointment, at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by shareholders. If, at any time, less than a majority of the Trustees holding office has been elected by the shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholders' meeting for the purpose of electing a Board of Trustees. Otherwise, there will normally be no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees. Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time except that any Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees.

<R>Each trust's Board, which is currently composed of 2 Interested Trustees and 9 Independent Trustees, met 11 times (10 times for the funds with fiscal years ended December 31, 2007) during each fund's most recent fiscal year (see Appendix A for a list of the funds' fiscal year ends). [Update prior to print] Following the implementation of the two-Board structure for all Fidelity funds, it is expected that the Trustees of the equity and high income Board will initially include 2 interested and 8 Independent Trustees, and will meet at least 9 times a year at regularly scheduled meetings.

<R>2. TO AMEND THE DECLARATION OF TRUST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED QUORUM FOR FUTURE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS.</R>

<R>Each funds' Declaration of Trust currently provides that a majority of the shares entitled to vote shall be a quorum for the transaction of business at a shareholders' meeting. As amended, each Declaration of Trust (Article VIII, Section 3) would reduce the quorum required to one-third of the shares entitled to vote.</R>

<R>Lowering the quorum requirement will facilitate holding shareholder meetings to approve important matters necessary for the conduct of a trust's business, such as the election of Trustees. When not enough shareholders vote, a trust may be forced to adjourn meetings multiple times and incur the expense of additional shareholder solicitations and proxy solicitors in order to obtain the shareholder vote necessary to hold a meeting. The reduced quorum requirement is not prohibited by Massachusetts or federal law.</R>

<R>Although the lower quorum requirement will allow for the approval of some matters by shareholders constituting less than a majority of the outstanding shares, certain other proposals will still require a higher number of shares to be voted to meet the threshold required to approve the proposal. For example, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) requires that certain items, such as management contracts and 12b-1 plans, be approved by a majority of a fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at a shareholder meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. The reduced quorum requirement will not affect such matters.</R>

<R>Shareholders have the right to vote on any Declaration of Trust amendment affecting their right to vote or on any matter submitted to the shareholders by the Trustees. On May 17, 2007, the Trustees approved the proposed amendment and also authorized its submission to each trust's shareholders for their approval at this Meeting.</R>

<R>If approved, Article VIII, Section 3 of each Declaration of Trust will be amended as follows (new language is underlined; language to be deleted is [bracketed]): </R>

<R>ARTICLE VIII
SHAREHOLDERS' VOTING POWERS AND MEETINGS</R>

<R>QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE</R>

<R>Section 3.Except when a higher quorum is required by any provision of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, one-third [A majority] of Shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy shall be a quorum for the transaction of business at a Shareholders' meeting, except that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust permits or requires that holders of any Series or Class shall vote as a Series or Class thenone-third [a majority] of the aggregate number of Shares of that Series or Class entitled to vote shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that Series or Class. Any lesser number shall be sufficient for adjournments. Any adjourned session or sessions may be held, within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting, without the necessity of further notice. Except when a larger vote is required by applicable law or by any provision of this Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws, if any, a majority of the Shares voted in person or by proxy shall decide any questions and a plurality shall elect a Trustee, provided that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of Trust permits or requires that the holders of any Series or Class shall vote as a Series or Class, then a majority of the Shares of that Series or Class voted on the matter shall decide that matter insofar as that Series or Class is concerned. Shareholders may act by unanimous written consent. Actions taken by a Series or Class may be consented to unanimously in writing by Shareholders of that Series or Class.</R>

<R>Conclusion. The Board of Trustees of each trust has concluded that the proposal will benefit the trust and its shareholders. The Trustees recommend voting FOR the proposal. The amended Declaration of Trust will become effective upon shareholder approval. If the proposal is not approved by shareholders of a trust, the Declaration of Trust will remain unchanged.</R>

STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE FUNDS' TRUSTEES

Correspondence intended for each Independent Trustee may be sent to the attention of the individual Trustee or to the Board of Trustees at Fidelity Investments, P.O. Box 55235, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-5235. Correspondence intended for each Interested Trustee may be sent to the attention of the individual Trustee or to the Board of Trustees at Fidelity Investments, 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109. The current process for collecting and organizing shareholder communications requires that the Board of Trustees receive copies of all communications addressed to it. All communications addressed to the Board of Trustees or any individual Trustee are logged and sent to the Board or individual Trustee. The funds do not hold annual meetings and therefore do not have a policy with regard to Trustees' attendance at such meetings. However, as a matter of practice, at least one Trustee attends special meetings.

The Board of Trustees has established various committees to support the Independent Trustees in acting independently in pursuing the best interests of the Fidelity funds and their shareholders. The committees facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to Independent Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 12 standing committees. The members of each committee are Independent Trustees. In connection with implementing a two-Board structure, it is expected that the equity and high income Board will have a similar committee structure, except that the Board will not have the following two committees: Fixed-Income Contract and Fund Oversight: Fixed-Income and Asset Allocation. See Appendix H for the number of meetings each standing committee held during each fund's last fiscal year.

The Operations Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Lautenbach currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the Independent Trustees. The committee also considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding contracts with third parties unaffiliated with FMR, including insurance coverage and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically within the scope of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR.

The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees, with Mr. Lautenbach currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The Fair Value Oversight Committee monitors and establishes policies concerning procedures and controls regarding the valuation of fund investments and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The committee also reviews actions taken by FMR's Fair Value Committee.

<R>The Board of Trustees has established three Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity I Committee (composed of Ms. Small (Chair) and Mr. Dirks), the Equity II Committee (composed of Messrs. Stavropoulos (Chair) and Lautenbach), and the Fixed-Income and Asset Allocation Committee (composed Messrs. Wolfe (Chair), Gamper, and Keyes, Dr. Heilmeier and Ms. Knowles). Each committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair of the respective committee. Each committee develops an understanding of and reviews the investment objectives, policies, and practices of each fund under its oversight. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters, the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund and all other matters bearing on each fund's investment results. TheFixed-Income and Asset Allocation Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and has oversight of research bearing on credit quality, investment structures and other fixed-income issues, and of international research.issues. The Equity I Committee has oversight of FMR's equity investment research. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The members of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee's review. These working groups report to the committee or to the Independent Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group's deliberations. Prior to November 2007, the three Fund Oversight Committees were the Equity Committee; the Fixed-Income, International, and Special Committee; and the Select and Asset Allocation Committee.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees has established two Fund Contract Committees: the Equity Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Stavropoulos (Chair), Dirks, Lautenbach, and Ms. Small) and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Wolfe (Chair), Gamper, and Keyes, Dr. Heilmeyer,Heilmeier, and Ms. Knowles). Each committee will ordinarily meet as needed to consider matters related to the renewal of fund investment advisory agreements. The committees will assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of investment advisory agreements of each fund. Each committee receives information on and makes recommendations concerning the approval of investment advisory agreements between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates and any non-FMR affiliate that serves as a sub-adviser to a Fidelity fund (collectively, "investment advisers") and the annual review of these contracts. The Fixed-Income Contract Committee is responsible for investment advisory agreements of the fixed-income and asset allocation funds. The Equity Contract Committee is responsible for the investment advisory agreements of all other funds. With respect to each fund under its purview, each committee: requests and receives information on the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the shareholders of the Fidelity funds by the investment advisers and their respective affiliates, fund performance, the investment performance of the investment adviser, and such other information as the committee determines to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements; considers the cost of the services to be provided and the profitability and other benefits that the investment advisers and their respective affiliates derive or will derive from their contractual arrangements with each of the funds (including tangible and intangible "fall-out benefits"); considers the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the funds grow and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors; considers methodologies for determining the extent to which the funds benefit from economies of scale and refinements to these methodologies; considers information comparing the services to be rendered and the amount to be paid under the funds' contracts with those under other investment advisory contracts entered into with FMR and its affiliates and other investment advisers, such as contracts with other registered investment companies or other types of clients; considers such other matters and information as may be necessary and appropriate to evaluate investment advisory agreements of the funds; and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements. Each committee will consult with the other committees of the Board of Trustees, and in particular with the Audit Committee and the applicable Fund Oversight Committees, in carrying out its responsibilities. Each committee's responsibilities are guided by Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. While each committee consists solely of Independent Trustees, its meetings may, depending upon the subject matter, be attended by one or more senior members of FMR's management or representatives of a sub-adviser not affiliated with FMR.</R>

The Shareholder, Distribution and Brokerage Committee is composed of Messrs. Dirks (Chair), Gamper, and Stavropoulos, and Ms. Small. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees and fees, including direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as bookkeeping and custodial fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services. Regarding brokerage, the committee monitors and recommends policies concerning the securities transactions of the Fidelity funds. The committee periodically reviews the policies and practices with respect to efforts to achieve best execution, commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses, and policies and procedures designed to assure that any allocation of portfolio transactions is not influenced by the sale of Fidelity fund shares. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, the committee considers issues bearing on the various distribution channels employed by the Fidelity funds, including issues regarding Rule 18f-3 plans and related consideration of classes of shares, sales load structures (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions, and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees, and other means by which intermediaries are compensated for selling fundshares or providing shareholder servicing, including revenue sharing. The committee also considers issues bearing on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the Fidelity funds, policies and procedures regarding frequent purchase of Fidelity fund shares, and selective disclosure of portfolio holdings.

The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair), Dr. Heilmeier, and Messrs. Keyes and Wolfe. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The committee will have at least one committee member in common with the Compliance Committee. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least four times a year with the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR LLC, and with the Fidelity funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the Fidelity funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the Fidelity funds and the funds' service providers, (ii) the financial reporting processes of the Fidelity funds, (iii) the independence, objectivity, and qualification of the auditors to the Fidelity funds, (iv) the annual audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements, and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the Fidelity funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any Fidelity fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to Fidelity fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the Fidelity funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fidelity funds, resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting, and has sole authority to hire and fire any auditor. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fidelity funds and any service providers consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the Fidelity funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fidelity funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fidelity funds' or service providers' internal controls over financial reporting. The committee will review with counsel any legal matters that may have a material impact on the Fidelity funds' financial statements and any material reports or inquiries received from regulators or governmental agencies. These matters may also be reviewed by the Compliance Committee or the Operations Committee. The Chair of the Audit Committee will coordinate with the Chair of the Compliance Committee, as appropriate. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the Fidelity funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR LLC their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the Fidelity funds, and will review with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditor, and internal auditor personnel of FMR LLC (to the extent relevant) the results of audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the Fidelity funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (Chair), Stavropoulos, and Wolfe. The committee meets as called by the Chair. A current copy of the Governance and Nominating Committee Charter With Respect to Nominations of Independent Trustees is available on Fidelity's website (www.fidelity.com) and is attached as Exhibit 1 to this proxy. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of Independent Trustees. The committee monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the frequency and structure of the Board of Trustee meetings and on any other aspect of Board procedures. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for Independent Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for Independent Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the Independent Trustees. On behalf of the Independent Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the Independent Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to Independent Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the Independent Trustees. The committee monitors the functioning of each Board committee and makes recommendations for any changes, including the creation or elimination of standing or ad hoc Board committees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with Independent Trustees at least once a year to discuss matters relating to fund governance. The committee recommends that the Board establish such special or ad hoc Board committees as may be desirable or necessary from time to time in order to address ethical, legal, or other matters that may arise. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the Board of Trustees and establishes procedures to allow it to exercise this oversight function. In conducting this oversight, the committee shall address all matters that it considers relevant to the performance of the Board of Trustees and shall report the results of its evaluation to the Board of Trustees, including any recommended amendments to the principles of governance, and any recommended changes to the Fidelity funds' or the Board of Trustees' policies, procedures, and structures. The committee reviews periodically the size and composition of the Board of Trustees as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board of Trustees reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of Independent Trustees required by law. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of Independent Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee shall have authority to retain and terminate any third-party advisers, including authority to approve fees and other retention terms. Such advisers may include search firms to identify Independent Trustee candidates and board compensation consultants. The committee recently retained a third-party search firm, which received a fee to compile a list of candidates based upon criteria established by the Independent Trustees. The committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the committee's scope of responsibilities, and may retain, at the Fidelity funds' expense, such independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the Fidelity funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will generally forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend 11 meetings per year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the Fidelity funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee.

The Board of Trustees established the Compliance Committee (composed of Ms. Small (Chair), Ms. Knowles, and Messrs. Stavropoulos and Wolfe) in May 2005. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee oversees the administration and operation of the compliance policies and procedures of the Fidelity funds and their service providers as required by Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act. The committee is responsible for the review and approval of policies and procedures relating to (i) provisions of the Code of Ethics, (ii) anti-money laundering requirements, (iii) compliance with investment restrictions and limitations, (iv) privacy, (v) recordkeeping, and (vi) other compliance policies and procedures which are not otherwise delegated to another committee. The committee has responsibility for recommending to the Board the designation of a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) of the Fidelity funds. The committee serves as the primary point of contact between the CCO and the Board, it oversees the annual performance review and compensation of the CCO, and if required, makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the removal of the appointed CCO. The committee receives reports of significant correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies, employee complaints or published reports which raise concerns regarding compliance matters, and copies of significant non-routine correspondence with the SEC. The committee receives reports from the CCO including the annual report concerning the funds' compliance policies as required by Rule 38a-1, quarterly reports in respect of any breaches of fiduciary duty or violations of federal securities laws, and reports on any other compliance or related matters that may have a significant impact on the funds. The committee will recommend to the Board, what actions, if any, should be taken with respect to such reports.

The Proxy Voting Committee is composed of Messrs. Gamper (Chair), Dirks, and Keyes. The committee will meet as needed to review the fund's proxy voting policies, consider changes to the policies, and review the manner in which the policies have been applied. The committee will receive reports on the manner in which proxy votes have been cast under the proxy voting policies and reports on consultations between the fund's investment advisers and portfolio companies concerning matters presented to shareholders for approval. The committee will address issues relating to the fund's annual voting report filed with the SEC. The committee will receive reports concerning the implementation of procedures and controls designed to ensure that the proxy voting policies are implemented in accordance with their terms. The committee will consider FMR's recommendations concerning certain non-routine proposals not covered by the proxy voting policies. The committee will receive reports with respect to steps taken by FMR to assure that proxy voting has been done without regard to any other FMR relationships, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company. The committee will make recommendations to the Board concerning the casting of proxy votes in circumstances where FMR has determined that, because of a conflict of interest, the proposal to be voted on should be reviewed by the Board. The Board of Trustees established the current Proxy Voting Committee in January 2006.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

The firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) or Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates (collectively, "Deloitte Entities"), has been selected as the independent registered public accounting firm for the funds, as indicated in Appendix A. PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (ISB No.1), have confirmed to the Audit Committee of each trust, as applicable, that they are the independent registered public accounting firms with respect to the funds.

The independent registered public accounting firm examines annual financial statements for the funds and provides other audit-related, non-audit, and tax-related services to the funds. Representatives of PwC and Deloitte Entitiesare not expected to be present at the Meeting, but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

Each trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firms relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

Each trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Audit Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to FMR and entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with FMR (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) that provide ongoing services to the funds ("Fund Service Providers") that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service)but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.

Each trust's Audit Committee has considered Non-Covered Services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC and Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC and Deloitte Entities in their audit of the funds, taking into account representations from PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with ISB No.1, regarding their independence from the funds and their related entities.

GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER
WITH RESPECT TO NOMINATIONS OF INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES

This charter relates to the responsibilities of the Governance and Nominating Committee in connection with the nomination of Independent Trustees.

The Governance and Nominating Committee will consist solely of Independent Trustees. The Chair of the Independent Trustees will be the Chair of the Committee. If a Vice Chair of the Independent Trustees has been designated, such Vice Chair will normally serve on the Committee. The Committee will meet as called by the Chair. A quorum will include at least two Independent Trustees.

The Committee will make nominations for the appointment or election of Independent Trustees in accordance with the Independent Trustee's Statement of Policy on Criteria for Selecting Independent Trustees ("Statement of Policy") (attached as Appendix A). The selection of Independent Trustees will be committed solely to the discretion of the Independent Trustees; persons so selected will be "disinterested" in terms of both the letter and spirit of the Investment Company Act. The Committee will also make nominations for the appointment of any non-management member of any Advisory Board.

The Committee will periodically review the Statement of Policy, which may from time to time be revised by vote of a majority of Independent Trustees upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

The Committee will have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify Independent Trustee candidates, including sole authority to approve such firm's fees and other retention terms.

The Committee will consider Independent Trustee candidates recommended by Fund shareholders. Any such candidates will be considered based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the Committee by a search firm or other sources, as set forth in the Statement of Policy. The names of such candidates should be submitted to the Chairman of the Committee in writing at the address maintained for communications with Independent Trustees. The submission should be accompanied by appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as an Independent Trustee of the Fidelity Funds. If the Committee retains a search firm, the Chairman will forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation.

APPENDIX A TO EXHIBIT 1

December 2003

STATEMENT OF POLICY ON CRITERIA
FOR SELECTING INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES

The Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Fidelity Funds has adopted this Statement of Policy to memorialize its views as to the appropriate criteria for selecting Independent Trustees of the Funds. This Statement has been prepared in connection with filling vacancies among the Independent Trustees that are expected to arise through the end of 2004.

The Governance and Nominating Committee expects that all candidates will have the following characteristics:

• Unquestioned personal integrity is a given.
• The candidate may not be an "interested person" of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
• The candidate should have no material relationship that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships (among others).
• The candidate needs the disposition to act independently in fact in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the Funds and all shareholders. It is expected that Independent Trustees will play an active and, if necessary, an adversarial role in pursuing the best interests of the Funds and shareholders.
• The candidate needs to be able to attend 11 meetings per year. The effect of this requirement is to limit the number of other boards on which a candidate can participate and other commitments.
• The candidate needs to have demonstrated sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial or regulatory issues.
• The candidate should have sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity Funds.
• Candidates should have experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities. This helps assure that they have other exposure to current governance issues and business practices. Candidates should not, however, have board memberships or other relationships that could result in business or regulatory conflicts with the Fidelity Mutual Funds.
• The candidate needs the capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the Fidelity Funds' complex regulatory, operational and marketing setting.

The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee.

The following characteristics are desirable, but not mandatory:

• The candidate should have the ability to serve seven or more years before reaching mandatory retirement age.
• The candidate should have diversity of interests evidenced by participation in community, charitable or other similar activities.

The following are desirable characteristics of the Independent Trustees as a group:

• The Independent Trustees will generally be drawn from the ranks of respected and accomplished senior business leaders.
• The Independent Trustees will strive to achieve diversity in terms of gender, race and geographic location.
• The Independent Trustees as a whole should reflect a diversity of business experience. At least one Independent Trustee will be a "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined by the SEC. The Governance and Nominating Committee will strive to achieve a balance of experience of Independent Trustees in respect of industries, management roles and other experience. For each candidate, the Committee will evaluate specific experience in light of the makeup of the current board.
