Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from 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.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Market Recap: U.S. stocks overcame bouts of volatility en route to posting strong gains for the 12 months ending September 30, 2012, extending a general uptrend that began in March 2009. The broad-based S&P 500® Index advanced 30.20% for the period, while the blue-chip-laden Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite® Index rose 26.52% and 30.53%, respectively. Uncertainty prevailed early on, as Greece neared insolvency and fear of debt contagion in Europe led the S&P 500® in early October to its lowest level in more than a year. However, markets reversed course that same month, and the S&P 500® produced its largest monthly gain in two decades - a rally that stalled in the final two months of 2011, but picked up apace in the first quarter of 2012. Despite a turbulent spring, stocks pushed ahead for much of the remainder of the period, fueled by solid corporate earnings, brighter housing and employment data, and hope for a solution in the eurozone. Of the 10 sectors within the S&P 500®, consumer discretionary (+37%) and telecommunication services (+35%) performed best, while utilities (+13%) and consumer staples (+24%) produced the smallest, albeit still solid, gains. Small- and mid-cap stocks also fared well, with the Russell 2000® Index adding 31.91% and the Russell Midcap® Index rising 28.03%.
Comments from Geoff Stein and Christopher Sharpe, Lead Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity® Stock Selector All Cap Fund: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares rose 29.02%, trailing the S&P 500. The fund lagged the index primarily because of its weak performance early in the period, when more-defensive stocks offering high dividend yields were narrowly leading the market. Our investment approach, which emphasizes total return opportunities across a diverse group of companies, and isn't necessarily focused on dividends, was out of favor. Beginning in 2012, however, our approach led the fund to perform much better, and six out of 10 underlying equity sector central funds outpaced their respective components of the S&P 500 for the full year. Beneficial security selection in health care, materials, industrials, consumer staples and financials contributed the most. On the downside, holding a modest cash stake in a rising market was the biggest detractor, followed by adverse stock picks in consumer discretionary and information technology. Primary individual detractors included underweightings in computer and consumer electronics maker Apple, pharmaceuticals firm Pfizer and tobacco heavyweight Philip Morris International. Top contributors included an underweighting in pharmaceuticals giant Johnson & Johnson and not holding personal computer chipmaker and index component Intel.
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
The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies with similar investment objectives to those of the Fund, available only to other mutual funds and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, (FMR) and its affiliates. In addition to the direct expenses incurred by the Fund presented in the table, as a shareholder of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, the Fund also indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate either the actual or hypothetical expense estimates presented in the table but are summarized in a footnote to the table.
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 (April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012).
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. 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.
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. 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.
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.

* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio.
In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds as of their most recent fiscal half year ranged from less than .01% to .01%.

1. Organization.
Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Capital 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 Stock Selector All Cap and Class K 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. 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 fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund invests 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 held as of period end, 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.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each non-money market Fidelity Central Fund.
Fidelity Central | Investment | Investment | Investment | Expense |
Fidelity Equity Central Funds | FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) | Each fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks, with a concentration in a particular industry. | Foreign Securities Repurchase Agreements Restricted Securities | Less than .01% to .01% |
* Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
Annual Report
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds - continued
An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro-rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including security valuation policies) of those funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC 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 (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency Translation - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates 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 per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and 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. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds. Although not included in the Fund's expenses, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the Fidelity Central Funds' expenses through the impact of these expenses on each Fidelity Central Fund's NAV. Based on their most recent shareholder report date, expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds ranged from less than .01% to .01%.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. As of September 30, 2012, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. A fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and 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 GAAP.
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, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and capital loss carryforwards.
The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ 353,434 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (12,381) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments | $ 341,053 |
|
|
Tax Cost | $ 2,069,101 |
The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ 17,262 |
Capital loss carryforward | $ (137,359) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 341,055 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,069,778 and $434,591, respectively.
5. 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 an annualized 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 relative investment performance of Stock Selector All Cap as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .51% of the Fund's average net assets.
FMR pays a portion of the management fees received from the Fund to the Fidelity Central Funds' investment advisers, who are also affiliates, for managing the assets of the Fidelity Central Funds.
Annual Report
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of Stock Selector All Cap. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class K's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Stock Selector All Cap | $ 3,549 | .17 |
Class K | 23 | .05 |
| $ 3,572 |
|
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 $5 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Central Funds provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $349 for the period.

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.
At the end of the period, a shareholder of record owned approximately 47% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.
11. Merger Information.
On October 26, 2012, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Fidelity Advisor® Stock Selector All Cap Fund ("Target Fund") pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees ("the Board") on March 14, 2012. In addition, the Board approved the creation of additional classes of shares that commenced operations on October 23, 2012. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of shares of each class of the Fund for corresponding shares then outstanding of the Target Fund at their net asset value on the acquisition date. The reorganization provides shareholders of the Target Fund access to a larger portfolio with the same investment objective. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. The Target Fund's net assets of $599,574, including securities of $600,112 and unrealized appreciation of $108,565, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $2,356,214 for total net assets after the acquisition of $2,955,788.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2012, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 the 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 September 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodians. 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 Stock Selector All Cap Fund as of September 30, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Trustees and Officers
The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Except for James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 227 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Mr. Curvey oversees 434 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.
The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.
In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.
Annual Report
Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.
Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.
The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.
At its July 2012 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts is in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts is fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel, and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board also noted that FMR has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. The Board also believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered the Investment Advisers' trading and risk management capabilities and resources, which are an integral part of the investment management process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's research capabilities, in particular, international research; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for global and income-oriented solutions; (iv) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet investment management's portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (v) adopting a "Stock Selector" sector neutral investment approach and employing a team of portfolio managers who are sector specialists to manage certain funds; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through the mergers of several funds into other funds; (vii) strengthening the Spartan Index Fund product line by adding new funds and/or new low-cost institutional share classes, restructuring fund expenses to accommodate new classes, and reducing investment minimums for certain classes of shares; (viii) modifying the eligibility criteria for Institutional Class shares to increase their appeal to government entities and charitable investors; and (ix) reducing certain transfer agent fee rates.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class measured over multiple periods against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by Fidelity and reviewed by the Board. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2011, as available, the cumulative total returns of Class K and the retail class of the fund, the cumulative total returns of a broad-based securities market index ("benchmark"), and a range of cumulative total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Morningstar, Inc. as having an investment style similar to that of the fund based on underlying portfolio holdings. (The fund did not offer Advisor classes as of December 31, 2011.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (top of box) and the 75th percentile return (bottom of box) of the peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund
The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and noted that the performance of the retail class of the fund (the class with the longer performance record) was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, the second quartile for the three-year period, and the third quartile for the five-year period. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board considered that the variations in performance between the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for the higher expense class. The Board discussed with FMR the fact that the fund underperformed its benchmark for each period measured. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in April 2012. The Board also reviewed the fund's performance since inception as well as performance in the current year. The Board will continue to closely monitor performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR if other actions to address performance are appropriate.
The Board also considered that the fund's management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record (over the same period) of a Board-approved performance adjustment index. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.
Annual Report
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 10% means that 90% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund
The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2011. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's negative performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking. The Board noted that the performance adjustment for each year represents calculations for performance periods that differ from the periods shown in the performance charts above.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2011.
Annual Report
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of FMR and its affiliates, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2010 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.
Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions. The Board also noted that in 2009, it and the board of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the potential to further rationalize the Fidelity fund lineup with the possibility of achieving savings for the funds and Fidelity; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and other key investment personnel; (iv) the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, the potential impact of regulatory changes on such structures, and the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain funds; (vii) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (viii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the possibility of implementing performance fee structures for additional funds; and (ix) the impact of net redemptions from the Fidelity funds.
Annual Report
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from 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.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Market Recap: U.S. stocks overcame bouts of volatility en route to posting strong gains for the 12 months ending September 30, 2012, extending a general uptrend that began in March 2009. The broad-based S&P 500® Index advanced 30.20% for the period, while the blue-chip-laden Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite® Index rose 26.52% and 30.53%, respectively. Uncertainty prevailed early on, as Greece neared insolvency and fear of debt contagion in Europe led the S&P 500® in early October to its lowest level in more than a year. However, markets reversed course that same month, and the S&P 500® produced its largest monthly gain in two decades - a rally that stalled in the final two months of 2011, but picked up apace in the first quarter of 2012. Despite a turbulent spring, stocks pushed ahead for much of the remainder of the period, fueled by solid corporate earnings, brighter housing and employment data, and hope for a solution in the eurozone. Of the 10 sectors within the S&P 500®, consumer discretionary (+37%) and telecommunication services (+35%) performed best, while utilities (+13%) and consumer staples (+24%) produced the smallest, albeit still solid, gains. Small- and mid-cap stocks also fared well, with the Russell 2000® Index adding 31.91% and the Russell Midcap® Index rising 28.03%.
Comments from Geoff Stein and Christopher Sharpe, Lead Co-Portfolio Managers of Fidelity® Stock Selector All Cap Fund: For the year, the fund's Class K shares rose 29.18%, trailing the S&P 500. The fund lagged the index primarily because of its weak performance early in the period, when more-defensive stocks offering high dividend yields were narrowly leading the market. Our investment approach, which emphasizes total return opportunities across a diverse group of companies, and isn't necessarily focused on dividends, was out of favor. Beginning in 2012, however, our approach led the fund to perform much better, and six out of 10 underlying equity sector central funds outpaced their respective components of the S&P 500 for the full year. Beneficial security selection in health care, materials, industrials, consumer staples and financials contributed the most. On the downside, holding a modest cash stake in a rising market was the biggest detractor, followed by adverse stock picks in consumer discretionary and information technology. Primary individual detractors included underweightings in computer and consumer electronics maker Apple, pharmaceuticals firm Pfizer and tobacco heavyweight Philip Morris International. Top contributors included an underweighting in pharmaceuticals giant Johnson & Johnson and not holding personal computer chipmaker and index component Intel.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies with similar investment objectives to those of the Fund, available only to other mutual funds and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, (FMR) and its affiliates. In addition to the direct expenses incurred by the Fund presented in the table, as a shareholder of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, the Fund also indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate either the actual or hypothetical expense estimates presented in the table but are summarized in a footnote to the table.
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 (April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012).
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. 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.
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. 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.
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.

The fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio.
In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds as of their most recent fiscal half year ranged from less than .01% to .01%.

1. Organization.
Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Capital 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 Stock Selector All Cap and Class K 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. 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 fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund invests 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 held as of period end, 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.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each non-money market Fidelity Central Fund.
Fidelity Central | Investment | Investment | Investment | Expense |
Fidelity Equity Central Funds | FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) | Each fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks, with a concentration in a particular industry. | Foreign Securities Repurchase Agreements Restricted Securities | Less than .01% to .01% |
* Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds - continued
An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro-rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at fidelity.com. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including security valuation policies) of those funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC 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 (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency Translation - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates 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 per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and 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. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds. Although not included in the Fund's expenses, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the Fidelity Central Funds' expenses through the impact of these expenses on each Fidelity Central Fund's NAV. Based on their most recent shareholder report date, expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds ranged from less than .01% to .01%.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. As of September 30, 2012, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. A fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and 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 GAAP.
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, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and capital loss carryforwards.
The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ 353,434 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (12,381) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments | $ 341,053 |
|
|
Tax Cost | $ 2,069,101 |
The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ 17,262 |
Capital loss carryforward | $ (137,359) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 341,055 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,069,778 and $434,591, respectively.
5. 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 an annualized 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 relative investment performance of Stock Selector All Cap as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .51% of the Fund's average net assets.
FMR pays a portion of the management fees received from the Fund to the Fidelity Central Funds' investment advisers, who are also affiliates, for managing the assets of the Fidelity Central Funds.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of Stock Selector All Cap. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class K's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Stock Selector All Cap | $ 3,549 | .17 |
Class K | 23 | .05 |
| $ 3,572 |
|
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 $5 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Central Funds provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $349 for the period.

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, a shareholder of record owned approximately 47% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.
11. Merger Information.
On October 26, 2012, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Fidelity Advisor® Stock Selector All Cap Fund ("Target Fund") pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees ("the Board") on March 14, 2012. In addition, the Board approved the creation of additional classes of shares that commenced operations on October 23, 2012. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of shares of each class of the Fund for corresponding shares then outstanding of the Target Fund at their net asset value on the acquisition date. The reorganization provides shareholders of the Target Fund access to a larger portfolio with the same investment objective. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. The Target Fund's net assets of $599,574, including securities of $600,112 and unrealized appreciation of $108,565, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $2,356,214 for total net assets after the acquisition of $2,955,788.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Capital Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Capital Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2012, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 the 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 September 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodians. 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 Stock Selector All Cap Fund as of September 30, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.
In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.
Annual Report
Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.
Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's equity and high income funds and another Board oversees Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.
The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees. In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with FMR to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board. For example, a working group comprised of Independent Trustees and FMR has worked and continues to work to review the Fidelity funds' valuation-related activities, reporting and risk management. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of FMR's risk management program for the Fidelity funds. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to the Fidelity funds.
At its July 2012 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts is in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts is fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel, and also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board also noted that FMR has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. The Board also believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered the Investment Advisers' trading and risk management capabilities and resources, which are an integral part of the investment management process.

The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) persisting in efforts to enhance Fidelity's research capabilities, in particular, international research; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for global and income-oriented solutions; (iv) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet investment management's portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (v) adopting a "Stock Selector" sector neutral investment approach and employing a team of portfolio managers who are sector specialists to manage certain funds; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through the mergers of several funds into other funds; (vii) strengthening the Spartan Index Fund product line by adding new funds and/or new low-cost institutional share classes, restructuring fund expenses to accommodate new classes, and reducing investment minimums for certain classes of shares; (viii) modifying the eligibility criteria for Institutional Class shares to increase their appeal to government entities and charitable investors; and (ix) reducing certain transfer agent fee rates.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class measured over multiple periods against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by Fidelity and reviewed by the Board. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2011, as available, the cumulative total returns of Class K and the retail class of the fund, the cumulative total returns of a broad-based securities market index ("benchmark"), and a range of cumulative total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Morningstar, Inc. as having an investment style similar to that of the fund based on underlying portfolio holdings. (The fund did not offer Advisor classes as of December 31, 2011.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (top of box) and the 75th percentile return (bottom of box) of the peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and noted that the performance of the retail class of the fund (the class with the longer performance record) was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, the second quartile for the three-year period, and the third quartile for the five-year period. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board considered that the variations in performance between the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for the higher expense class. The Board discussed with FMR the fact that the fund underperformed its benchmark for each period measured. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for the fund in April 2012. The Board also reviewed the fund's performance since inception as well as performance in the current year. The Board will continue to closely monitor performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR if other actions to address performance are appropriate.
The Board also considered that the fund's management fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record (over the same period) of a Board-approved performance adjustment index. The Board noted that the performance adjustment provides FMR with a strong economic incentive to seek to achieve superior performance for the fund's shareholders and helps to more closely align the interests of FMR and the fund's shareholders.
Annual Report
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps, and without giving effect to the fund's performance adjustment. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 10% means that 90% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked and the impact of the fund's performance adjustment, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report

Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Stock Selector All Cap Fund
The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2011. The Board also noted the effect of the fund's negative performance adjustment on the fund's management fee ranking. The Board noted that the performance adjustment for each year represents calculations for performance periods that differ from the periods shown in the performance charts above.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of the fund's performance adjustment. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2011.
Annual Report
Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of FMR and its affiliates, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. The Board noted the findings of the 2010 ad hoc joint committee (created with the board of other Fidelity funds), which reviewed and compared Fidelity's institutional investment advisory business with its business of providing services to the Fidelity funds, including the differences in services provided, fees charged, and costs incurred, as well as competition in their respective marketplaces.
Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.

Management Fees - continued
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive in the circumstances.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions. The Board also noted that in 2009, it and the board of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total Fidelity fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance, and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) the potential to further rationalize the Fidelity fund lineup with the possibility of achieving savings for the funds and Fidelity; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and other key investment personnel; (iv) the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (v) the realization of fall-out benefits in certain Fidelity business units; (vi) Fidelity's group fee structures, the potential impact of regulatory changes on such structures, and the rationale for the individual fee rates of certain funds; (vii) fund profitability methodology, including Fidelity's cost allocation methodology, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (viii) trends regarding industry use of performance fee structures and the possibility of implementing performance fee structures for additional funds; and (ix) the impact of net redemptions from the Fidelity funds.
Annual Report
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit 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 Fund, taking into account representations from Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Fund and its related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. 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 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.
All Covered Services 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.
Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.
Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X ("De Minimis Exception")
There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the periods ended September 30, 2012, September 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010 relating to services provided to (i) the Fund or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.
