Chairman's Message

Dear Shareholder:
This shareholder update and report on the performance of your fund is among the first to be produced under the new Sarbanes-Oxley Public Company Accounting and Investor Protection Act of 2002. This act requires that public companies certify, under penalty of law, the financial information they report to shareholders. It was adopted by Congress in reaction to several incidents of corporate malfeasance that brought the integrity of management of some publicly traded companies into question.
After the act was signed into law, the Securities and Exchange Commission interpreted it as applying to mutual funds as well as public companies. Thus, every mutual fund now is required to certify that the financial information provided in annual and semiannual reports to shareholders fully and fairly presents its financial position.
There is little doubt that the intent of Congress and regulators in this matter is a noble one - to improve the accuracy and accountability of financial reporting to investors by corporate America. We in no way condone any of the activities that brought about these requirements, and we welcome any and every reasonable proposal to strengthen investor protection and information disclosure.
That said, we are proud that mutual funds have always provided full and fair disclosure. Governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 - and monitored and regulated by federal and state agencies, industry oversight associations, and independent directors - mutual funds are among the most transparent of all financial products. For example, the prices of mutual fund shares are established and published every business day, and the majority of members of the Board of Trustees that oversees our funds are not affiliated with the business of Fidelity. The disclosure standards of mutual funds actually have become models for governance and transparency across corporate America.
We are, of course, complying in full with the letter of this new requirement and hope that any future efforts by Congress to reassure investors about the honesty of corporate America will focus on practical and substantive solutions of genuine value to shareholders.
This sort of careful consideration was evident as Congress deliberated President Bush's tax cut package this spring, then enacted legislation that contains a variety of benefits for American families, investors and businesses. Although the final bill did not completely eliminate the tax that individual investors pay when they receive dividends from companies, it still will benefit American investors, and we applaud it in the spirit of compromise that marked the debate in Congress.
At Fidelity, we are committed to acting at all times in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and in the best interests of our fund shareholders. We are proud of the amount of information we provide to those who invest in our funds and pleased to continue that level of communication with you in these reports.

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Fifty on September 17, 1993, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jason Weiner, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Fifty®
Stimulative fiscal action by the Federal Reserve Board, President Bush's $350 billion tax cut and the rapid conclusion of major hostilities in Iraq helped propel U.S. equity markets from double-digit losses to positive or only slightly negative returns for the 12 months ending June 30, 2003. Investor confidence was rattled at the period's outset. Stock market declines in the previous two years, recession, corporate governance scandals and the impending Iraqi war stifled enthusiasm for equities. The Fed, trying to pump liquidity into the economy, cut rates by half a percentage point in November 2002, its 12th cut since early 2001. While the cuts benefited consumer spending, corporate spending failed to revive in kind. Finally, late in the first quarter of 2003, positive economic signs began to emerge. Investors greeted the news with enthusiasm, and stocks rallied from mid-March through period end. For the 12 months overall, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM slipped 0.50%, the large-cap-oriented Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 0.25% and the technology-rich NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 11.41%.
Fidelity Fifty gained 4.98% during the past year, outpacing the the LipperSM Capital Appreciation Funds Average, which returned 0.11%, and the Standard and Poor's 500 Index. Security selection was critical to our success. The fund's former manager generated much of the outperformance, helped largely by some good picks in telecommunication services. Nextel was a key driver, as shares of the wireless service provider rose sharply on strong subscriber gains and aggressive debt reduction. We also held phone giant Qwest Communications and some cellular tower companies that did well, while generally avoiding lagging fixed-line carriers. Elsewhere, the fund got a lift from its media holdings - including AOL Time Warner and Liberty Media - that rebounded nicely amid the post-Iraqi war rally, bolstered by improving advertising trends and the prospects for a strengthening economy. Stock selection in financials and technology also helped, led by FleetBoston Financial and Xerox, as did having a higher-than-average cash weighting amid equity market declines. By contrast, eroding demand and pricing for cigarettes hurt tobacco holdings R.J. Reynolds and Altria, while owning weak materials stocks, such as Massey Energy and Phelps Dodge, and shying away from surging health care issues further dampened results.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2003
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Fifty (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 118,158,232 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (10,718,123) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 107,440,109 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 1,093,482 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (117,513,491) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 776,886,158 | |

| June 30, 2003 | June 30, 2002 |
Ordinary Income | $ 5,562,450 | $ 2,047,816 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 30 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.
The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment

performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .73% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .30% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,182,616 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $1,061,268 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody and transfer agent expenses by $88 and $4,455, respectively.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
This shareholder update and report on the performance of your fund is among the first to be produced under the new Sarbanes-Oxley Public Company Accounting and Investor Protection Act of 2002. This act requires that public companies certify, under penalty of law, the financial information they report to shareholders. It was adopted by Congress in reaction to several incidents of corporate malfeasance that brought the integrity of management of some publicly traded companies into question.
After the act was signed into law, the Securities and Exchange Commission interpreted it as applying to mutual funds as well as public companies. Thus, every mutual fund now is required to certify that the financial information provided in annual and semiannual reports to shareholders fully and fairly presents its financial position.
There is little doubt that the intent of Congress and regulators in this matter is a noble one - to improve the accuracy and accountability of financial reporting to investors by corporate America. We in no way condone any of the activities that brought about these requirements, and we welcome any and every reasonable proposal to strengthen investor protection and information disclosure.
That said, we are proud that mutual funds have always provided full and fair disclosure. Governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 - and monitored and regulated by federal and state agencies, industry oversight associations, and independent directors - mutual funds are among the most transparent of all financial products. For example, the prices of mutual fund shares are established and published every business day, and the majority of members of the Board of Trustees that oversees our funds are not affiliated with the business of Fidelity. The disclosure standards of mutual funds actually have become models for governance and transparency across corporate America.
We are, of course, complying in full with the letter of this new requirement and hope that any future efforts by Congress to reassure investors about the honesty of corporate America will focus on practical and substantive solutions of genuine value to shareholders.
This sort of careful consideration was evident as Congress deliberated President Bush's tax cut package this spring, then enacted legislation that contains a variety of benefits for American families, investors and businesses. Although the final bill did not completely eliminate the tax that individual investors pay when they receive dividends from companies, it still will benefit American investors, and we applaud it in the spirit of compromise that marked the debate in Congress.
At Fidelity, we are committed to acting at all times in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and in the best interests of our fund shareholders. We are proud of the amount of information we provide to those who invest in our funds and pleased to continue that level of communication with you in these reports.

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Louis Salemy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Growth & Income II Portfolio
Stimulative fiscal action by the Federal Reserve Board, President Bush's $350 billion tax cut and the rapid conclusion of major hostilities in Iraq helped propel U.S. equity markets from double-digit losses to positive or only slightly negative returns for the 12 months ending June 30, 2003. Investor confidence was rattled at the period's outset. Stock market declines in the previous two years, recession, corporate governance scandals and the impending Iraqi war stifled enthusiasm for equities. The Fed, trying to pump liquidity into the economy, cut rates by half a percentage point in November 2002, its 12th cut since early 2001. While the cuts benefited consumer spending, corporate spending failed to revive in kind. Finally, late in the first quarter of 2003, positive economic signs began to emerge. Investors greeted the news with enthusiasm, and stocks rallied from mid-March through period end. For the 12 months overall, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM slipped 0.50%, the large-cap-oriented Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 0.25% and the technology-rich NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 11.41%.
Fidelity Growth & Income II Portfolio gained 8.60% during the past year, outpacing the Standard and Poor's 500 Index as well as the LipperSM Growth & Income Funds Average, which fell 1.75%. I owned concentrated positions in my best ideas - and added to them when prices declined last summer and again early in 2003 when I felt that concerns about a protracted war with Iraq were overdone. These moves helped versus the fund's benchmarks, as several of these stocks extended their lead over the index during the spring post-war rally. Also important was avoiding major blowups and having an above-average weighting in cash, which helped shelter us somewhat amid equity market declines. Most of our outperformance came from a handful of solid-performing media stocks - led by EchoStar, Omnicom Group and E.W. Scripps - that rode strong revenue and earnings gains. My aggressive positioning in diversified financials, namely Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, also helped, as did some good picks in telecommunication services and industrials, including Nextel and Continental Airlines, respectively. On the down side, sluggish sales hurt our holdings in retailers Kohl's and Home Depot, while not owning surging technology and health care stocks, such as Intel and Merck, also detracted from results.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2003
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Growth & Income II Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 13,245,292 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (16,063,529) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (2,818,237) | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 106,621 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (23,965,171) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 200,616,159 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| June 30, 2003 | June 30, 2002 |
Ordinary Income | $ 1,228,566 | $ 1,357,900 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. 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 .20% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .48% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .35% of average net assets.
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $302,396 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $15,266 for the period.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
This shareholder update and report on the performance of your fund is among the first to be produced under the new Sarbanes-Oxley Public Company Accounting and Investor Protection Act of 2002. This act requires that public companies certify, under penalty of law, the financial information they report to shareholders. It was adopted by Congress in reaction to several incidents of corporate malfeasance that brought the integrity of management of some publicly traded companies into question.
After the act was signed into law, the Securities and Exchange Commission interpreted it as applying to mutual funds as well as public companies. Thus, every mutual fund now is required to certify that the financial information provided in annual and semiannual reports to shareholders fully and fairly presents its financial position.
There is little doubt that the intent of Congress and regulators in this matter is a noble one - to improve the accuracy and accountability of financial reporting to investors by corporate America. We in no way condone any of the activities that brought about these requirements, and we welcome any and every reasonable proposal to strengthen investor protection and information disclosure.
That said, we are proud that mutual funds have always provided full and fair disclosure. Governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 - and monitored and regulated by federal and state agencies, industry oversight associations, and independent directors - mutual funds are among the most transparent of all financial products. For example, the prices of mutual fund shares are established and published every business day, and the majority of members of the Board of Trustees that oversees our funds are not affiliated with the business of Fidelity. The disclosure standards of mutual funds actually have become models for governance and transparency across corporate America.
We are, of course, complying in full with the letter of this new requirement and hope that any future efforts by Congress to reassure investors about the honesty of corporate America will focus on practical and substantive solutions of genuine value to shareholders.
This sort of careful consideration was evident as Congress deliberated President Bush's tax cut package this spring, then enacted legislation that contains a variety of benefits for American families, investors and businesses. Although the final bill did not completely eliminate the tax that individual investors pay when they receive dividends from companies, it still will benefit American investors, and we applaud it in the spirit of compromise that marked the debate in Congress.
At Fidelity, we are committed to acting at all times in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and in the best interests of our fund shareholders. We are proud of the amount of information we provide to those who invest in our funds and pleased to continue that level of communication with you in these reports.

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended June 30, 2003 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity ® Fund | -1.36% | -1.47% | 9.91% |
$10,000 Over 10 years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Fund on June 30, 1993. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index did over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from John Avery, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Fund
Stimulative fiscal action by the Federal Reserve Board, President Bush's $350 billion tax cut and the rapid conclusion of major hostilities in Iraq helped propel U.S. equity markets from double-digit losses to positive or only slightly negative returns for the 12 months ending June 30, 2003. Investor confidence was rattled at the period's outset. Stock market declines in the previous two years, recession, corporate governance scandals and the impending Iraqi war stifled enthusiasm for equities. The Fed, trying to pump liquidity into the economy, cut rates by half a percentage point in November 2002, its 12th cut since early 2001. While the cuts benefited consumer spending, corporate spending failed to revive in kind. Finally, late in the first quarter of 2003, positive economic signs began to emerge. Investors greeted the news with enthusiasm, and stocks rallied from mid-March through period end. For the 12 months overall, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM slipped 0.50%, the large-cap-oriented Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 0.25% and the technology-rich NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 11.41%.
For the 12 months ending June 30, 2003, the fund returned -1.36%, slightly lagging the S&P 500® but beating the - -1.75% return of the LipperSM Growth & Income Funds Average. The fund was aided by stock selection in health care equipment and services and by overweighting diversified financials, particularly brokerage stocks. On the negative side, the technology sector hurt us, as I was early buying semiconductor-related stocks near the beginning of the period and then was underweighted in tech as the market rallied in the second quarter of 2003. St. Jude Medical was our top contributor compared with the index, aided by studies showing that pacemakers tend to improve patients' quality of life. Varian Medical Systems, a maker of radiation oncology equipment, also did well on the heels of strong earnings growth and the prospect of continued robust increases in revenues. Drug stock Wyeth was the top detractor relative to the index and by absolute standards. Controversy over the company's hormone replacement drug in July 2002 was partially responsible for Wyeth's problems. Fairchild Semiconductor International hurt us in the fall of 2002 when an economic rebound failed to materialize as expected.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
4. 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 .09% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .37% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .24% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $5,219 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
Annual Report
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
This shareholder update and report on the performance of your fund is among the first to be produced under the new Sarbanes-Oxley Public Company Accounting and Investor Protection Act of 2002. This act requires that public companies certify, under penalty of law, the financial information they report to shareholders. It was adopted by Congress in reaction to several incidents of corporate malfeasance that brought the integrity of management of some publicly traded companies into question.
After the act was signed into law, the Securities and Exchange Commission interpreted it as applying to mutual funds as well as public companies. Thus, every mutual fund now is required to certify that the financial information provided in annual and semiannual reports to shareholders fully and fairly presents its financial position.
There is little doubt that the intent of Congress and regulators in this matter is a noble one - to improve the accuracy and accountability of financial reporting to investors by corporate America. We in no way condone any of the activities that brought about these requirements, and we welcome any and every reasonable proposal to strengthen investor protection and information disclosure.
That said, we are proud that mutual funds have always provided full and fair disclosure. Governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 - and monitored and regulated by federal and state agencies, industry oversight associations, and independent directors - mutual funds are among the most transparent of all financial products. For example, the prices of mutual fund shares are established and published every business day, and the majority of members of the Board of Trustees that oversees our funds are not affiliated with the business of Fidelity. The disclosure standards of mutual funds actually have become models for governance and transparency across corporate America.
We are, of course, complying in full with the letter of this new requirement and hope that any future efforts by Congress to reassure investors about the honesty of corporate America will focus on practical and substantive solutions of genuine value to shareholders.
This sort of careful consideration was evident as Congress deliberated President Bush's tax cut package this spring, then enacted legislation that contains a variety of benefits for American families, investors and businesses. Although the final bill did not completely eliminate the tax that individual investors pay when they receive dividends from companies, it still will benefit American investors, and we applaud it in the spirit of compromise that marked the debate in Congress.
At Fidelity, we are committed to acting at all times in accordance with the highest standards of integrity and in the best interests of our fund shareholders. We are proud of the amount of information we provide to those who invest in our funds and pleased to continue that level of communication with you in these reports.

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended June 30, 2003 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Life of fundA |
Fidelity® Discovery Fund | 1.11% | 2.99% | 3.52% |
A From March 31, 1998
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Discovery on March 31, 1998, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index did over the same period.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Adam Hetnarski, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Discovery Fund
Stimulative fiscal action by the Federal Reserve Board, President Bush's $350 billion tax cut and the rapid conclusion of major hostilities in Iraq helped propel U.S. equity markets from double-digit losses to positive or only slightly negative returns for the 12 months ending June 30, 2003. Investor confidence was rattled at the period's outset. Stock market declines in the previous two years, recession, corporate governance scandals and the impending Iraqi war stifled enthusiasm for equities. The Fed, trying to pump liquidity into the economy, cut rates by half a percentage point in November 2002, its 12th cut since early 2001. While the cuts benefited consumer spending, corporate spending failed to revive in kind. Finally, late in the first quarter of 2003, positive economic signs began to emerge. Investors greeted the news with enthusiasm, and stocks rallied from mid-March through period end. For the 12 months overall, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM slipped 0.50%, the large-cap-oriented Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 0.25% and the technology-rich NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 11.41%.
For the 12 months ending June 30, 2003, the fund returned 1.11%, slightly ahead of the S&P 500® index and the - -0.57% return of the LipperSM Growth Funds Average. Strong stock selection in health care equipment and services, energy, and telecommunication services provided the most help versus the index. On the other hand, stock picking in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and materials hurt our results compared with the index. Boston Scientific and St. Jude Medical are two health care companies that did well on an absolute basis and versus the index. Boston Scientific had good test results with its drug-coated stent - a device used to prop open clogged arteries. St. Jude, a manufacturer of pacemakers and defibrillators, benefited from studies showing that pacemakers significantly enhance patients' quality of life. Conversely, overweighting Johnson & Johnson held back our results. The company was hurt by competition from Boston Scientific in the drug-coated stent market. Another detractor was copper producer Phelps Dodge, which struggled with low demand due to the delayed economic recovery.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Contrafund II (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hastings Street 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. On July 17, 2003 the Board of Trustees approved a change in the name of Fidelity Contrafund II to Fidelity Discovery Fund effective on August 29, 2003. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.
The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .82% of the fund's average net assets.
Sales Load. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, received sales charges of $136 on sales of shares of the fund all of which was retained. Effective June 23, 2003, the fund's sales charge was eliminated.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .29% of average net assets.
Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,103 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $1,334 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $1.
