Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended April 30, 2008 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® Large Cap Stock | -1.99% | 10.21% | 3.61% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Large Cap Stock Fund on April 30, 1998. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Fruhan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Large Cap Stock Fund
Plagued by fears of rising inflation, threats of a recession and fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis, U.S. equities struggled for the 12 months ending April 30, 2008. Trying to buoy the economy, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the target fed funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00% between September 2007 and the end of April 2008. Despite the Fed's actions, most measures of the U.S. stock market failed to finish in positive territory for the year overall. However, after reaching lows in March, many indexes trended up, reversing their downward spirals to turn in solid gains in the final month of the period. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index climbed 4.87% in April alone, making up some of its lost ground, but the index still fell 4.68% for the 12 months overall. The NASDAQ Composite® Index also experienced positive returns in April, but declined 3.78% during the past year. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose in April as well, contributing to a modest 0.47% return for the one-year period.
The fund returned -1.99% during the past year, outpacing the S&P 500®. My emphasis on stable-growth companies supported results, as did a focus on natural gas exploration and production (E&P) companies. Stock selection in the health care, industrials and financials groups helped as well. In addition, my exposure to foreign companies added to returns as the U.S. dollar weakened. However, my holdings in the utilities and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from results. Four of the top six contributors to relative results were natural gas E&P companies: Range Resources, Quicksilver Resources, EOG Resources and Ultra Petroleum. All benefited from rising production and increasing reserves. Industrials company Honeywell International and Japanese video game manufacturer Nintendo also made notable contributions. MoneyGram International was the single-most influential detractor. Its share price plummeted after the company lost money in investments and then raised capital from private-equity investors under unfavorable financial terms. Health care diagnostics company Inverness Medical Innovations performed well early on, but then announced its acquisition of a disease management company and disclosed problems in its expense controls. Elsewhere, underweighting Exxon Mobil dragged on results, as did overweighting financial firms Citigroup and American International Group. Neither MoneyGram nor Exxon Mobil was a fund holding at the end of the period. Some of the contributors and detractors I've mentioned were not components of the index.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended April 30, 2008
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust (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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing

Security Valuation - continued
services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received

from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced 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. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships, deferred trustees compensation, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 147,721 | |

4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to

ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
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 at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,513,777 and $1,291,983, respectively.
6. 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 that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% 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. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the Fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .64% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc, (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR was the Fund's transfer agent. For the period the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .26% of average net assets.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $25 for the period.
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 affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 6,600 | 3.53% | $ 8 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $2 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending
Annual Report
8. Security Lending - continued
Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $242.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $54 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and 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 and transfer agent expenses by $12 and $58, respectively.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.
In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $93, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

(an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Large Cap Stock Fund as of April 30, 2008, 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.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended April 30, 2008 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® Mid-Cap Stock Fund | -8.49% | 13.80% | 8.92% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Mid-Cap Stock Fund on April 30, 1998. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's® MidCap 400 Index performed over the same period.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Shep Perkins, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Mid-Cap Stock Fund
Plagued by fears of rising inflation, threats of a recession and fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis, U.S. equities struggled for the 12 months ending April 30, 2008. Trying to buoy the economy, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the target fed funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00% between September 2007 and the end of April 2008. Despite the Fed's actions, most measures of the U.S. stock market failed to finish in positive territory for the year overall. However, after reaching lows in March, many indexes trended up, reversing their downward spirals to turn in solid gains in the final month of the period. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index climbed 4.87% in April alone, making up some of its lost ground, but the index still fell 4.68% for the 12 months overall. The NASDAQ Composite® Index also experienced positive returns in April, but declined 3.78% during the past year. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose in April as well, contributing to a modest 0.47% return for the one-year period.
During this volatile period, Mid-Cap Stock Fund returned -8.49%, compared with a more modest decline of 2.76% for the Standard & Poor's® MidCap 400 Index. Unfavorable stock selection, particularly in the information technology, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors, as well as some poor picks in energy, accounted for most of the underperformance. Positive sector positioning - mainly the fund's underweighting of the index's weakly performing financials and consumer discretionary sectors, while maintaining overweighted stakes in the robust energy and materials groups - helped offset some of the effects of the disappointing stock picking during the year. Several of the fund's holdings were punished due to the market's concerns about their high debt levels and/or weak free cash flows. Among the period's biggest detractors were telecommunication services providers Qwest Communications and Level 3 Communications, data center operator SAVVIS and oil refiner Western Refining. Conversely, the fund's overweightings in energy and materials paid off, with such stocks as coal producer Massey Energy, natural gas producer EOG Resources and genetically modified seed maker Monsanto making strong contributions. All of the stocks just mentioned were out-of-index holdings.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust (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. On January 17, 2008, the Board of Trustees approved the creation of an additional class of shares. The Fund commenced sale of Class K shares and the existing class was designated Mid-Cap Stock on May 9, 2008. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. As a result of a change in the estimate of the return of capital component of dividend income realized in the year ended April 30, 2007, dividend income has been increased $8,793 with a corresponding decrease to net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The change in estimate has no impact on total net assets or total return of the Fund. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), Independent 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 invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Certain adjustments have been made to the accounts relating to prior periods. Collectively, these adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 2,987,784 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,532,352) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 1,455,432 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 117,668 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 12,085,484 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| April 30, 2008 | April 30, 2007 |
Ordinary Income | $ 136,997 | $ 160,327 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 1,028,994 | 406,576 |
Total | $ 1,165,991 | $ 566,903 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invest in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Losses may arise from

changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities other than short-term securities, aggregated $6,476,864 and $7,583,684, respectively.
6. 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 that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% 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. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the Fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .70% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR was the Fund's transfer agent. For the period the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .23% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Annual Report
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $188 for the period.
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 affiliated funds. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 20,560 | 4.54% | $ 31 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $28 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $171 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and 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 and transfer agent expenses by $11 and $1,018, respectively.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the Fidelity Freedom Funds were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 27% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.
In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $1,787, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Mid-Cap Stock Fund as of April 30, 2008, 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.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Small Cap Retirement Fund on September 26, 2000, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Russell 2000® Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Charles Myers, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Small Cap Retirement Fund
Plagued by fears of rising inflation, threats of a recession and fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis, U.S. equities struggled for the 12 months ending April 30, 2008. Trying to buoy the economy, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the target fed funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00% between September 2007 and the end of April 2008. Despite the Fed's actions, most measures of the U.S. stock market failed to finish in positive territory for the year overall. However, after reaching lows in March, many indexes trended up, reversing their downward spirals to turn in solid gains in the final month of the period. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index climbed 4.87% in April alone, making up some of its lost ground, but the index still fell 4.68% for the 12 months overall. The NASDAQ Composite® Index also experienced positive returns in April, but declined 3.78% during the past year. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose in April as well, contributing to a modest 0.47% return for the one-year period.
For the year ending April 30, 2008, the fund lost 10.55%, beating the Russell 2000® Index's 10.96% decline. Favorable security selection in financials and health care aided relative performance, as did the fund's small cash position and its underweighting in consumer discretionary. However, stock selection in industrials and consumer staples detracted. The best-performing individual investment was Compass Minerals. This maker of rock salt benefited from a bad winter weather season. Unprecedented demand for sulfate of potash - a key fertilizer component produced by the company - also helped greatly. Further contributing was Columbus McKinnon, a maker of hoists and lifts for industrial warehouses, which rose along with its strong financial results. Neither Compass Minerals nor Columbus McKinnon was in the fund at period end. Also helping was a position in Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation - better known as Farmer Mac. On the negative side, American Reprographics (ARP), a provider of blueprint copying services to commercial construction companies and the fund's largest position by far during most of the period, did very poorly. As the economy weakened, so did construction activity, which in turn hurt ARP's business. Another significant detractor was Central Garden & Pet, a maker of pet, lawn and garden supplies. This company had significant debt, and I sold the stock after concluding that management would have trouble improving the company's finances. A third underperformer was Trex, a maker of composite decking products that was no longer in the fund at period end.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended April 30, 2008
1. Organization.
Fidelity Small Cap Retirement Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust (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's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are

Security Valuation - continued
traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities

sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 18,119,165 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (22,334,744) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (4,215,579) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 202,060,364 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| April 30, 2008 | April 30, 2007 |
Ordinary Income | $ 530,173 | $ 7,909,025 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 14,781,338 | 16,928,090 |
Total | $ 15,311,511 | $ 24,837,115 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Annual Report
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $298,139,427 and $325,822,569, respectively.
The Fund realized a loss on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the Fund. The loss was fully reimbursed by the Fund's investment advisor.
6. 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 that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% 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. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the Fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .64% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .30% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,417 for the period.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $410 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $3,801 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and 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 transfer agent expenses by $18,383.
Annual Report
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.
In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $26,349, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Small Cap Retirement Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Small Cap Retirement Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Small Cap Retirement Fund as of April 30, 2008, 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.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns

Fidelity® Small Cap Stock Fund | -7.64% | 14.84% | 9.26% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Small Cap Stock Fund on April 30, 1998. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Russell 2000® Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Paul Antico, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Small Cap Stock Fund
Plagued by fears of rising inflation, threats of a recession and fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis, U.S. equities struggled for the 12 months ending April 30, 2008. Trying to buoy the economy, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the target fed funds rate from 5.25% to 2.00% between September 2007 and the end of April 2008. Despite the Fed's actions, most measures of the U.S. stock market failed to finish in positive territory for the year overall. However, after reaching lows in March, many indexes trended up, reversing their downward spirals to turn in solid gains in the final month of the period. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index climbed 4.87% in April alone, making up some of its lost ground, but the index still fell 4.68% for the 12 months overall. The NASDAQ Composite® Index also experienced positive returns in April, but declined 3.78% during the past year. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose in April as well, contributing to a modest 0.47% return for the one-year period.
Small Cap Stock beat its benchmark index by more than three percentage points during the past year. In that time, the fund slipped 7.64%, while the Russell 2000® Index fell 10.96%. Stock selection added the most value versus the benchmark. More specifically, stock picks in industrials were favorable, while overweighting the sector also boosted relative performance. Underweighting the weak-performing financials sector was beneficial as well, as was security selection in consumer discretionary. A cash position of roughly 7% on average in a down market also helped, and the fund's healthy exposure to foreign stocks translated into strong currency gains given the weak U.S. dollar. On the downside, security selection in information technology and utilities was disappointing. Having less exposure than the Russell 2000 Index to the two best-performing areas of the market - energy and materials, respectively - also detracted. Three of the fund's top 10 individual performers were health care companies: Ireland-based ICON, PAREXEL International and Covance. Compass Minerals also contributed, enjoying strong earnings growth due to robust demand for its winter road salt and price increases for its potash products. Among the biggest detractors were trucking company YRC Worldwide; Directed Electronics, a manufacturer of automotive security and audio systems; and newspaper publisher Lee Enterprises. Wind turbine manufacturer Clipper Windpower further detracted after experiencing a number of start-up manufacturing problems.
Note to shareholders: On July 1, 2008, Andrew Sassine will become Portfolio Manager of the fund, replacing Paul Antico.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the period ended April 30, 2008
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust (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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available,
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as available dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, partnerships, net operating losses, and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 459,414 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (548,462) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (89,048) | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 55,794 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 4,282,091 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| April 30, 2008 | April 30, 2007 |
Ordinary Income | $ 132,743 | $ 69,580 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 637,070 | 308,809 |
Total | $ 769,813 | $ 378,389 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in

segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
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 value 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. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, 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 at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $4,975,457 and $5,396,300, respectively.
Annual Report
6. 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 that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% 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. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the Fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the Fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .80% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR was the Fund's transfer agent. For the period the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .24% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $301 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $9 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $269 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and 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 and transfer agent expenses by $41 and $196, respectively.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's

domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.
In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $426, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Small Cap Stock Fund as of April 30, 2008, 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.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Continuation of a credit squeeze, flat consumer spending and a potential recession weighed heavily on stocks in the opening months of 2008, though positive results in investment-grade bonds and money markets offered some comfort to investors. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual 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, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended April 30, 2008 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Investor Class | -4.73% | 10.52% | 3.78% |
Fidelity Advantage Class A | -4.71% | 10.54% | 3.79% |
A The initial offering of Fidelity Advantage Class took place on October 14, 2005. Returns prior to
October 14, 2005, are those of Investor Class, the original class of the fund.
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Spartan® 500 Index Fund - Investor Class on April 30, 1998. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jeffrey Adams, who oversees the Spartan® 500 Index Fund's investment management team as Head of Indexing for Geode Capital Management, LLC
For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2008, U.S. equities continued down a bumpy road, plagued by fears of rising inflation, threats of a potential recession, and fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis and subsequent credit crunch. Oil prices surged to record highs, eclipsing $110 a barrel, and consumer confidence hit a five-year low as food prices rose and housing prices continued to drop. To inject more liquidity into the marketplace and stave off a potential recession, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the target fed funds rate seven times from 5.25% to 2.00% between September 2007 and the end of April 2008. These moves seemed to revive some investor confidence in the stock market by the end of the 12-month period, though most equity measures failed to finish in positive territory for the year overall. However, after reaching lows in March, many indexes trended up, reversing their downward spirals to turn in solid gains in the final month of the period. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index climbed 4.87% in April alone, making up some of its lost ground, but the index still fell 4.68% for the 12 months overall. The NASDAQ Composite® Index also experienced positive returns in April, but declined 3.78% during the past year. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose in April as well, contributing to a modest 0.47% return for the one-year period.
For the year ending April 30, 2008, the fund's Investor Class and Fidelity Advantage Class shares lost 4.73% and 4.71%, respectively, in line with the S&P 500®. With oil prices so high, the energy sector led the market by a wide margin. Specific outperformers included diversified energy producers Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips, as well as oilfield services company Schlumberger. Materials stocks also performed well. In technology, personal computer and electronics manufacturer Apple benefited from strong sales of its key products, while diversified technology company IBM rose thanks to better-than-expected earnings. Also helping performance was agricultural products company Monsanto. On the negative side, financials were the biggest laggards by far, with banks, insurance and diversified financial companies such as Citigroup, American International Group (AIG), Wachovia, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch performing particularly poorly. Housing market weakness also hampered government-sponsored mortgage-finance company Fannie Mae. Consumer discretionary holdings lagged as well during the year.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual index fund fee of $10 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $10,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. An annual index fund fee of $10 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $10,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1. Organization.
Spartan 500 Index Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust (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 Investor Class and Fidelity Advantage 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 offers conversion privileges between share classes to eligible shareholders. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered

Investment Transactions and Income - continued
return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), Independent 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 invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions 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. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
In addition, in March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business

Futures Contracts - continued
day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, U.S government securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $1,288,231 and $1,009,300, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee and Expense Contract. 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 based on an annual rate of .07% of average net assets. Under the management contract, FMR pays all other fund-level expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. In addition, under the expense contract, FMR pays class-level expenses of Investor Class and Fidelity Advantage Class so that total expenses do not exceed .10% and .07% of each class' average net assets, respectively, with certain exceptions.
Sub-Adviser. Geode Capital Management, LLC (Geode®), serves as sub-adviser for the Fund. Geode provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Fund and is paid by FMR for providing these services.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives asset-based fees of .06% and .03% of average net assets for the Investor Class and Fidelity Advantage Class, respectively. Under the expense

contract, the Investor Class pays transfer agent fees at an annual rate of .03%, and the Fidelity Advantage Class pays no transfer agent fees. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR, was the Fund's transfer agent.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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, which amounted to $32 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $1,882.
9. 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.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
9. Expense Reductions - continued
During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's management fee by $95 and reduced transfer agent fee by $101.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders of each class were as follows:
Years ended April 30, | 2008 | 2007 |
From net investment income | | |
Investor Class | $ 146,396 | $ 119,726 |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust and Shareholders of Spartan 500 Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Spartan 500 Index Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Commonwealth Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2008, 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Spartan 500 Index Fund as of April 30, 2008, 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.

(e) (1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm 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.
The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the 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 a Fund Service Provider 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.
(e) (2) | Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X: |
Audit-Related Fees:
There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 on behalf of each fund.
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 on behalf of the Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of each fund.

A | Aggregate amounts may reflect rounding. |

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