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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class'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. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended September 30, 2007 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Asset Manager 20% | 7.26% | 8.55% | 6.15% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Asset Manager 20%, a class of the fund, on September 30, 1997. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Asset Manager® 20% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
Asset Manager 20% was up 7.26% during the year, versus 7.53% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 20% Composite Index. The fund lagged the index despite favorable asset allocation and a strong showing from our equities, as disappointing results from our investment-grade bond holdings were simply too much to overcome. Regarding asset allocation, we got a meaningful boost from favoring high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt. Excellent security selection propelled nine out of the 10 underlying equity sector central funds past their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. Having some exposure to foreign stocks in the central funds proved fruitful, as overseas markets soundly beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the strategic cash portion of the fund - including the money market central fund - topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.

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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
Annual Report
Investments - continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | .88% |
Class T | 1.12% |
Class B | 1.67% |
Class C | 1.65% |
Asset Manager 20% | .57% |
Institutional Class | .60% |
In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportionate shares of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds as of the most recent fiscal half-year ranged from less than .01% to .01%.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 20% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 20% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 20% on October 2, 2006. In order to disclose class level financial information dollar amounts presented in the notes are unrounded. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

Annual Report
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds - continued
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify

Security Valuation - continued
significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of

Expenses - continued
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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and foreign currency transactions.

Unrealized appreciation | $ 63,045,194 |

New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are

Futures Contracts - continued
recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $262,748,552 and $94,048,722, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..12% 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 .42% 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b -1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Asset Manager 20% and Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 7,469 |
Class T | 2,267 |
Class B* | 477 |
Class C* | 4 |
| $ 10,217 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the
sales are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 20%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 20% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $5,134 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Asset Manager 20% operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $86,390.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $14,648 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $1,444.

During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

9. 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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 20%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 20% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 20% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 20%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 20% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 20% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 20% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 20% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 20%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 20% (retail class) was in the third quartile for the one-year period, the second quartile for the three-year period, and the first quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the investment performance of Asset Manager 20% (retail class) compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Asset Manager 20%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2006.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended September 30, 2007 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) A | 0.80% | 7.21% | 5.49% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) B | 2.94% | 7.66% | 5.71% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | 1.15% | 8.01% | 6.03% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) D | 5.09% | 8.31% | 6.03% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 20%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower.
B Class T shares bear a 0.50% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class T shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 20%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class T shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower.
C Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class B shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 20%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past 5 years, and past 10 years total return figures are 5%, 2%, and 0%, respectively.
D Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 20%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past 5 years, and past 10 years total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.

Performance - continued
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 20% - Class T on September 30, 1997, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index performed over the same period. The initial offering of Class T took place on October 2, 2006. See the previous page for additional information regarding the performance of Class T.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 20% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short- lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares rose 6.95%, 6.67%, 6.05% and 6.07%, respectively (excluding sales charges) during the year, versus 7.53% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 20% Composite Index. The fund lagged the index despite favorable asset allocation and a strong showing from our equities, as disappointing results from our investment-grade bond holdings were simply too much to overcome. Regarding asset allocation, we got a meaningful boost from favoring high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt. Excellent security selection propelled nine out of the 10 underlying equity sector central funds past their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. Having some exposure to foreign stocks in the central funds proved fruitful, as overseas markets soundly beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the strategic cash portion of the fund - including the money market central fund - topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.

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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
Annual Report
Investments - continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 20% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 20% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 20% on October 2, 2006. In order to disclose class level financial information dollar amounts presented in the notes are unrounded. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds - continued
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify

Security Valuation - continued
significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and foreign currency transactions.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 63,045,194 |
Unrealized depreciation | (19,227,341) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 43,817,853 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 44,083,874 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 12,628,190 |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,473,837,554 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| September 30, 2007 | September 30, 2006 |
Ordinary Income | $ 136,976,584 | $ 82,527,943 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 57,926,972 | 20,737,807 |
Total | $ 194,903,556 | $ 103,265,750 |

New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are

Futures Contracts - continued
recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $262,748,552 and $94,048,722, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..12% 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 .42% 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b -1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Asset Manager 20% and Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 7,469 |
Class T | 2,267 |
Class B* | 477 |
Class C* | 4 |
| $ 10,217 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the
sales are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 20%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 20% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

* Annualized
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $5,134 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Asset Manager 20% operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $86,390.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $14,648 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $1,444.

During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction |
Class C | $ 2 |

| $ 67,943 |
9. 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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 20%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 20% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 20% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 20%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 20% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 20% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 20% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 20% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 20%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 20% (retail class) was in the third quartile for the one-year period, the second quartile for the three-year period, and the first quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the investment performance of Asset Manager 20% (retail class) compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 20%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2006.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Asset ManagerSM 20% - Institutional Class on September 30, 1997. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index performed over the same period. The initial offering of Institutional Class took place on October 2, 2006. See above for additional information regarding the performance of Institutional Class.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 20% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Institutional Class shares rose 7.16% during the year, versus 7.53% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 20% Composite Index. The fund lagged the index despite favorable asset allocation and a strong showing from our equities, as disappointing results from our investment-grade bond holdings were simply too much to overcome. Regarding asset allocation, we got a meaningful boost from favoring high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt. Excellent security selection propelled nine out of the 10 underlying equity sector central funds past their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. Having some exposure to foreign stocks in the central funds proved fruitful, as overseas markets soundly beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the strategic cash portion of the fund - including the money market central fund - topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.
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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
Annual Report
Investments - continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 20% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 20% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 20% on October 2, 2006. In order to disclose class level financial information dollar amounts presented in the notes are unrounded. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

Annual Report
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds - continued
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of

Expenses - continued
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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and foreign currency transactions.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 63,045,194 |
Unrealized depreciation | (19,227,341) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 43,817,853 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 44,083,874 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 12,628,190 |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,473,837,554 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| September 30, 2007 | September 30, 2006 |
Ordinary Income | $ 136,976,584 | $ 82,527,943 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 57,926,972 | 20,737,807 |
Total | $ 194,903,556 | $ 103,265,750 |

New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are

Futures Contracts - continued
recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $262,748,552 and $94,048,722, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..12% 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 .42% 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b -1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Asset Manager 20% and Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Class C | .75% | .25% | 6,586 | 4,830 |
| | | $ 20,487 | $ 9,362 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 7,469 |
Class T | 2,267 |
Class B* | 477 |
Class C* | 4 |
| $ 10,217 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the
sales are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 20%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 20% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

* Annualized
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $5,134 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Asset Manager 20% operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $86,390.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $14,648 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $1,444.

During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.

| $ 67,943 |
9. 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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 20%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 20% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 20% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 20%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 20% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 20% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 20% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 20% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 20%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 20% (retail class) was in the third quartile for the one-year period, the second quartile for the three-year period, and the first quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the investment performance of Asset Manager 20% (retail class) compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 20%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2006.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Asset Manager® 50% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the 12 months ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices dropped precipitously. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
Asset Manager 50% was up 12.02% during the past year, versus 11.41% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 50% Composite Index. Most of this outperformance stemmed from excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. We also got a boost from asset allocation. Specifically, favoring equities and high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive versus the index. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the strategic cash portion of the fund - including the money market central fund - topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.
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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 50% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 50% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 50% on October 2, 2006. In order to disclose class level financial information dollar amounts presented in the notes are unrounded. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

* 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.
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issues and changes in interest rates.
A 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 or

advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds, and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and income distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 indi-rectly bears its proportionate share of the Fidelity Central Funds' expenses through the impact of these expenses on each Fidelity Central Fund's net asset value. Based on their
Annual Report

Expenses - continued
most recent shareholder report date, expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds ranged from less than .01% to .01%.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), Independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), certain foreign taxes, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 695,830,518 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (81,036,204) | |

In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and

delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale

at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $958,944,998 and $1,934,063,044 respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .25% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 3,678 | $ 1,121 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 6,707 | 495 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 4,766 | 3,832 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 10,344 | 9,217 |

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 11,618 |
Class T | 6,081 |
Class B* | 162 |
Class C* | 594 |
| $ 18,455 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 50%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 50% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 3,320 | .23* |
Class T | 2,773 | .21* |
Class B | 1,258 | .26* |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $555 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $21,366 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $127,340.
Annual Report
9. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Asset Manager 50%'s operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $85,783.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $417,349 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $5,937. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 8 | |
Class C | 5 | |
Asset Manager 50% | 387,531 | |
| $ 387,544 | |
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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity

mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 50%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 50% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 50% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 50%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 50% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 50% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 50% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 50% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 50%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 50% (retail class) was in the fourth quartile for the one- and three-year periods and the third quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund's disappointing performance relative to its peer group. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Annual Report
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 50%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2006.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended September 30, 2007 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) A | 5.30% | 8.74% | 5.76% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) B | 7.57% | 9.21% | 5.99% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | 5.90% | 9.60% | 6.31% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) D | 9.88% | 9.87% | 6.31% |
A Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 50%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class A shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower.
B Class T shares bear a 0.50% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class T shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 50%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class T shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower.
C Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class B shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 50%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class B shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five years, and past ten years total return figures are 5%, 2%, and 0%, respectively.
D Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on October 2, 2006. Returns prior to October 2, 2006 are those of Asset Manager 50%, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to October 2, 2006 would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charge included in the past one year, past five years, and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.

$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Asset ManagerSM 50% - Class T, a class of the fund, on September 30, 1997, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 50% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares rose 11.72%, 11.47%, 10.90% and 10.88%, respectively (excluding sales charges) during the year, versus 11.41% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 50% Composite Index. We had excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. Asset allocation also provided a boost. Specifically, favoring equities and high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the strategic cash portion of the fund - including the money market central fund - topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.

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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (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.

Class B | 1.81% |
Class C | 1.77% |

In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportionate 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%.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 50% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 50% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 50% on October 2, 2006. In order to disclose class level financial information dollar amounts presented in the notes are unrounded. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issues and changes in interest rates.
A 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 or

advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds, and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and income distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 indi-rectly bears its proportionate share of the Fidelity Central Funds' expenses through the impact of these expenses on each Fidelity Central Fund's net asset value. Based on their
Annual Report

Expenses - continued
most recent shareholder report date, expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds ranged from less than .01% to .01%.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), Independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), certain foreign taxes, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 695,830,518 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (81,036,204) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 614,794,314 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 428,899,522 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 152,454,777 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 8,366,910,171 | |

Total | $ 757,825,515 | $ 520,700,801 |
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and
Annual Report

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities - continued
delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale

at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $958,944,998 and $1,934,063,044 respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .25% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 3,678 | $ 1,121 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 6,707 | 495 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 4,766 | 3,832 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 10,344 | 9,217 |
| | | $ 25,495 | $ 14,665 |
Annual Report
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 11,618 |
Class T | 6,081 |
Class B* | 162 |
Class C* | 594 |
| $ 18,455 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 50%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 50% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 3,320 | .23* |
Class T | 2,773 | .21* |
Class B | 1,258 | .26* |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $555 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $21,366 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $127,340.
Annual Report
9. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Asset Manager 50%'s operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $85,783.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $417,349 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $5,937. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 8 | |
Class C | 5 | |
Asset Manager 50% | 387,531 | |
| $ 387,544 | |
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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 50%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 50% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 50% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 50%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 50% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 50% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 50% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 50% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 50%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 50% (retail class) was in the fourth quartile for the one- and three-year periods and the third quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund's disappointing performance relative to its peer group. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Annual Report
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report

Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 50%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2006.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Management Fees - continued
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 50% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Institutional Class shares rose 12.07% during the year, versus 11.41% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 50% Composite Index. Most of this outperformance stemmed from excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. We also got a boost from asset allocation. Specifically, favoring equities and high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive versus the index. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the strategic cash portion of the fund - including the money market central fund - topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.
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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.

Investments - continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 50% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 50% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 50% on October 2, 2006. In order to disclose class level financial information dollar amounts presented in the notes are unrounded. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio* |
Fidelity Equity Sector Central Funds | Fidelity Manage- ment & Research Company, Inc.

* 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.
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issues and changes in interest rates.
A 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 or

advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds, and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and income distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 indi-rectly bears its proportionate share of the Fidelity Central Funds' expenses through the impact of these expenses on each Fidelity Central Fund's net asset value.

most recent shareholder report date, expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds ranged from less than .01% to .01%.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), Independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), certain foreign taxes, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 695,830,518 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (81,036,204) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 614,794,314 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 428,899,522 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 152,454,777 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 8,366,910,171 | |

New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and

delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale

at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $958,944,998 and $1,934,063,044 respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .25% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 3,678 | $ 1,121 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 6,707 | 495 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 4,766 | 3,832 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 10,344 | 9,217 |

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 11,618 |
Class T | 6,081 |
Class B* | 162 |
Class C* | 594 |
| $ 18,455 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 50%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 50% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 3,320 | .23* |
Class T | 2,773 | .21* |
Class B | 1,258 | .26* |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $555 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $21,366 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of interest income. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $127,340.
Annual Report
9. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Asset Manager 50%'s operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $85,783.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $417,349 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $5,937. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 8 | |
Class C | 5 | |
Asset Manager 50% | 387,531 | |
| $ 387,544 | |
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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity

mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 50%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 50% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 50% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 50%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 50% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 50% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 50% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 50% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 50%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 50% (retail class) was in the fourth quartile for the one- and three-year periods and the third quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund's disappointing performance relative to its peer group. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Annual Report
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Asset Manager 50%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2006.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

Management Fees - continued
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended September 30, 2007 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity Asset Manager® 70% | 15.07% | 12.06% | 5.67% |
$10,000 Over 10 years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Asset Manager® 70% on September 30, 1997. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Asset Manager® 70% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the 12 months ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices dropped precipitously. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
Asset Manager 70% was up 15.07% during the past year, versus 14.18% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 70% Composite Index. Most of this outperformance stemmed from excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. We also got a boost from asset allocation. Specifically, favoring equities and high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive versus the index. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the strategic cash portion of the fund - including the money market central fund - topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.

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 bears its 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Annual Report
Investments - continued
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.
| Beginning Account Value April 1, 2007 | Ending Account Value September 30, 2007 | Expenses Paid During Period * April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,068.50 | $ 4.15 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,021.06 | $ 4.05 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .80%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (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 proportionate 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 Asset Manager 70% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | | Investment Manager | | Investment Objective | | Investment Practices | | Expense Ratio* |
Fidelity Equity Sector Central Funds | | Fidelity Management & Research Company, 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% |
Fidelity Floating Rate Central Fund | | FMRC | | Seeks a high level of income by normally investing in floating rate loans and other floating rate securities. | | Loans & Direct Debt Instruments Repurchase Agreements Restricted Securities | | Less than .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.
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interests rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and income and capital gain distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 net asset value. Based on their most recent shareholder report date, expenses of the Fidelity Central Funds ranged from less than .01% to .01%.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), Independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Annual Report
3. 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Certain adjustments have been made to the accounts relating to prior periods. Collectively, these adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 281,769 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (22,228) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 259,541 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 58,311 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (108,204) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 3,004,647 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| September 30, 2007 | September 30, 2006 |
Ordinary Income | $ 74,719 | $ 64,599 |
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management

has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Annual Report
4. Operating Policies - continued
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $395,300 and $735,633, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds

Management Fee - continued
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 .56% 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.
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 shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .19% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $7 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending
Annual Report
8. Security Lending - continued
Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $100.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $176 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 $2 and $159, respectively.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made.

A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 70%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 70% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 70% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 70%
On April 19, 2007, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve the management contract and subadvisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund in connection with reorganizing the fund from one Trust to another. The Board reached this determination because the contractual terms of and fees payable under the fund's Advisory Contracts are identical to those in the fund's current Advisory Contracts. The Advisory Contracts involve no changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the nature or level of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iii) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board considered that it approved the Advisory Contracts for the fund during the past year and that it will again consider renewal of the Advisory Contracts in July 2007.
Because the Board was approving Advisory Contracts with terms identical to the current Advisory Contracts, it did not consider the fund's investment performance, competitiveness of management fee and total expenses, costs of services and profitability, or economies of scale to be significant factors in its decision.
In connection with its future renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including 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; and (iv) 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.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved, without modification, as part of the process of reorganizing the fund from one Trust to another.
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Annual Report
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the fund's cumulative total returns, the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the fund. The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.
Annual Report
Fidelity Asset Manager 70%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of the fund was in the third quartile for the one- and five-year periods and the fourth quartile for the three-year period. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions to be taken by FMR to improve the fund's disappointing performance relative to its peer group. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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. "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 9% means that 91% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Fidelity Asset Manager 70%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
In its review of the fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, 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 part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. 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 fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2006.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's total expenses were 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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Annual Report
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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. Returns may reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended September 30, 2007 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Life of fundA |
Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) | 7.73% | 13.03% | 5.07% |
Class T (incl. 3.50% sales charge) | 9.89% | 13.23% | 5.05% |
Class B (incl. contingent deferred sales charge)B | 8.26% | 13.20% | 5.12% |
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) C | 12.43% | 13.49% | 4.97% |
A From December 28, 1998.
B Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year, and life of fund total return figures are 5%, 2%, and 0%, respectively.
C Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five year, and life of fund total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.
Annual Report
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Advisor Asset ManagerSM 70% - Class T on December 28, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager SM 70% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares rose 14.30%, 13.87%, 13.26% and 13.43%, respectively (excluding sales charges) during the year, versus 14.18% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 70% Composite Index. We had excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. Asset allocation also provided a boost. Specifically, favoring equities and high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the cash component of the fund topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.

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.

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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
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.
Annual Report
Investments - continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | 1.16% |
Class T | 1.42% |
Class B | 1.98% |
Class C | 1.90% |
Institutional Class | .95% |
In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds as of the most recent fiscal half year ranged from less than .01% to .01%.

For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 70% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust (the trust) (formerly of Fidelity Advisor Series I) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Effective, April 19, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby the Fund reorganized into Fidelity Charles Street Trust effective June 29, 2007 (Trust Reorganization). The Trust Reorganization does not impact the Fund's investment strategies or Fidelity Management & Research Company's(FMR) management of the Fund. 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 Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds - continued
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 advisor.fidelity.com. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify

Security Valuation - continued
significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt

securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. All legal and other expenses associated with the Trust Reorganization will be paid by FMR. 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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), and losses deferred due to wash sales.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by

Repurchase Agreements - continued
government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency value. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end.

Futures Contracts - continued
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $46,333,017 and $28,395,168, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .56% 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
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 255,544 | $ 43,556 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 377,956 | 845 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 385,650 | 289,419 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 468,968 | 96,790 |
| | | $ 1,488,118 | $ 430,610 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B, 1.00% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 79,369 |
Class T | 24,748 |
Class B* | 60,383 |
Class C* | 6,629 |
| $ 171,129 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
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 the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of

shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 255,114 | .25 |
Class T | 199,456 | .26 |
Class B | 119,127 | .31 |
Class C | 111,957 | .24 |
Institutional Class | 14,473 | .28 |
| $ 700,127 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $32 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $577 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could

experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $2,810.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $12,587 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction |
Class A | $ 8,431 |
Institutional Class | 183 |
| $ 8,614 |
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
In September 2006, FIIOC, the Fund's transfer agent, notified the Fund that the Fund's books and records did not reflect a conversion of certain Class B to Class A shares upon their conversion date. In March 2007, FIIOC converted the relevant Class B shares to Class A shares and recorded the conversion in the books and records of the Fund which did not result in a material impact to the Fund's reported net assets or results of operations in the accompanying financial statements. FIIOC has remediated affected shareholders and reimbursed the Fund for all related audit and legal expenses.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Advisor Asset Manager 70%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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.

Management Fees - continued
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within 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 against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Institutional Class (Class I) and Class B of the fund, the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 returns of Institutional Class (Class I) and Class B show the performance of the highest and lowest performing classes, respectively (based on three-year performance). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Advisor Asset Manager 70%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class (Class I) of the fund was in the third quartile for the one-year period and the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the investment performance of Institutional Class (Class I) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Annual Report
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Advisor Asset Manager 70%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of Class A ranked equal to its competitive median for 2006, and the total expenses of each of Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2006. The Board considered that the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C were above the median because of its higher transfer agent fee due to small average account size. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Annual Report
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, 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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset ManagerSM 70% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Institutional Class shares rose 14.46% during the year, versus 14.18% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 70% Composite Index. Most of this outperformance stemmed from excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. We also got a boost from asset allocation. Specifically, favoring equities and high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive versus the index. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the cash component of the fund topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.

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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class A | 1.16% |
Class T | 1.42% |
Class B | 1.98% |
Class C | 1.90% |
Institutional Class | .95% |
In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds as of the most recent fiscal half year ranged from less than .01% to .01%.

Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.

The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 advisor.fidelity.com. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify

significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt

securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. All legal and other expenses associated with the Trust Reorganization will be paid by FMR. 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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), and losses deferred due to wash sales.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by
Annual Report
4. Operating Policies - continued
Repurchase Agreements - continued
government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency value. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end.

Futures Contracts - continued
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $46,333,017 and $28,395,168, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .56% 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.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 255,544 | $ 43,556 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 377,956 | 845 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 385,650 | 289,419 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 468,968 | 96,790 |
| | | $ 1,488,118 | $ 430,610 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B, 1.00% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 79,369 |
Class T | 24,748 |
Class B* | 60,383 |
Class C* | 6,629 |
| $ 171,129 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
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 the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of

shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 255,114 | .25 |
Class T | 199,456 | .26 |
Class B | 119,127 | .31 |
Class C | 111,957 | .24 |
Institutional Class | 14,473 | .28 |
| $ 700,127 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $32 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $577 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could

experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $2,810.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $12,587 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction |
Class A | $ 8,431 |
Institutional Class | 183 |
| $ 8,614 |
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
In September 2006, FIIOC, the Fund's transfer agent, notified the Fund that the Fund's books and records did not reflect a conversion of certain Class B to Class A shares upon their conversion date. In March 2007, FIIOC converted the relevant Class B shares to Class A shares and recorded the conversion in the books and records of the Fund which did not result in a material impact to the Fund's reported net assets or results of operations in the accompanying financial statements. FIIOC has remediated affected shareholders and reimbursed the Fund for all related audit and legal expenses.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.
11. Distributions to Shareholders.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Advisor Asset Manager 70%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within 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 against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Institutional Class (Class I) and Class B of the fund, the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 returns of Institutional Class (Class I) and Class B show the performance of the highest and lowest performing classes, respectively (based on three-year performance). The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's three asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Institutional Class (Class I) of the fund was in the third quartile for the one-year period and the first quartile for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also stated that the investment performance of Institutional Class (Class I) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Annual Report
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 8% means that 92% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report

Management Fees - continued

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of Class A ranked equal to its competitive median for 2006, and the total expenses of each of Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class ranked above its competitive median for 2006. The Board considered that the total expenses of each of Class B and Class C were above the median because of its higher transfer agent fee due to small average account size. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Annual Report
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, 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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Asset Manager® 85% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the 12 months ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices dropped precipitously. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
Asset Manager 85% was up 17.77% during the past year, versus 16.37% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 85% Composite Index. Most of this outperformance stemmed from excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. We also got a boost from asset allocation. Specifically, favoring high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive versus the index. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the cash component of the fund topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on
October 1, 2007.
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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
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.
Annual Report
Investments - continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 85% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 85% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 85% on October 2, 2006. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio* |
Fidelity Equity Sector Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company, 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 share- holder report.
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the markets' perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 56,330,914 |
Unrealized depreciation | (6,176,831) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 50,154,083 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 7,998,346 |
Capital loss carryforward | (41,699,489) |
| |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 539,868,676 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| September 30, 2007 | September 30, 2006 |
Ordinary Income | $ 8,158,236 | $ 2,067,008 |
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is

Futures Contracts - continued
shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $165,501,158 and $142,083,038, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .56% 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B, 1.00% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 85%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 85% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $229 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,113 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to

the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $39,475.
9. Expense Reductions.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Asset Manager 85%'s operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $85,300.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $52,552 for the period
In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 137 | |
Class C | 7 | |
Asset Manager 85% | 16,769 | |
| $ 16,913 | |
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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in

10. Other - continued
discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.
11. Distributions to Shareholders.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 85%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 85% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 85% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 85%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 85% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 85% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 85% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 85% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's two asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 85%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 85% (retail class) was in the first quartile for all the periods shown. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and five-year periods, although the three-year cumulative total return of Asset Manager 85% (retail class) compared favorably to its benchmark.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 9% means that 91% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 85%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Asset Manager 85% (retail class) ranked below its competitive median for 2006, and the total expenses of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2006. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Annual Report
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, 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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Advisor Asset ManagerSM 85% - Class T(dagger) on September 24, 1999, when the fund started, and the current 3.50% sales charge was paid. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) performed over the same period. The initial offering of Class T took place on October 2, 2006. See previous page for additional information regarding the performance of Class T.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 85% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares rose 17.41%, 17.09%, 16.61% and 16.54%, respectively (excluding sales charges) during the year, versus 16.37% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 85% Composite Index. Most of this outperformance stemmed from excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. We also got a boost from asset allocation. Specifically, favoring high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive versus the index. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the cash component of the fund topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.

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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
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.

Investments - continued
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (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.

Class T | 1.43% |
Class B | 1.95% |
Class C | 1.93% |

Institutional Class | .82% |
In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportionate shares of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds as of the most recent fiscal half-year ranged from less than .01% to .01%.

For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 85% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 85% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 85% on October 2, 2006. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio* |
Fidelity Equity Sector Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company, 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 share- holder report.
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the markets' perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Annual Report

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 56,330,914 |
Unrealized depreciation | (6,176,831) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 50,154,083 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 7,998,346 |
Capital loss carryforward | (41,699,489) |
| |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 539,868,676 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| September 30, 2007 | September 30, 2006 |
Ordinary Income | $ 8,158,236 | $ 2,067,008 |
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is

Futures Contracts - continued
shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $165,501,158 and $142,083,038, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .56% 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Class C | .75% | .25% | 11,367 | 9,169 |
| | | $ 27,453 | $ 16,203 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B, 1.00% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 19,654 |
Class T | 2,469 |
Class B* | 432 |
Class C* | 133 |
| $ 22,688 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales
are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 85%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 85% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $229 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,113 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to

the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $39,475.
9. Expense Reductions.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Asset Manager 85%'s operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $85,300.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $52,552 for the period
In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 137 | |
Class C | 7 | |
Asset Manager 85% | 16,769 | |
| $ 16,913 | |
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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in

discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 85%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 85% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 85% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 85%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 85% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 85% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 85% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 85% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's two asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 85%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 85% (retail class) was in the first quartile for all the periods shown. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and five-year periods, although the three-year cumulative total return of Asset Manager 85% (retail class) compared favorably to its benchmark.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 9% means that 91% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 85%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Asset Manager 85% (retail class) ranked below its competitive median for 2006, and the total expenses of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2006. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Annual Report
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, 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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor Asset Manager 85% during the period covered by this report
The U.S. stock, investment-grade and high-yield bond markets were volatile during the year ending September 30, 2007, but each finished with positive returns. Stocks began the period with a four-month winning streak amid an environment of falling energy prices, upbeat economic data and solid corporate earnings. They tumbled in February, however, stung by the slowing housing market, a looming subprime mortgage loan crisis and a short-lived freefall in the Asian markets. Stocks rallied strongly from March through May, but see-sawed in the final four months of the period as crude oil prices spiked, the housing slump grew more pronounced and subprime mortgage prices fell sharply. The Federal Reserve Board sparked a late-period rally by implementing cuts to key lending rates. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index advanced 16.44%, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.14% and the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index was up 7.79%.
The fund's Institutional Class shares rose 17.87% during the year, versus 16.37% for the Fidelity Asset Manager 85% Composite Index. Most of this outperformance stemmed from excellent security selection in the underlying equity sector central funds and in the foreign stock subportfolio. We also got a boost from asset allocation. Specifically, favoring high-yield securities relative to investment-grade debt was a positive versus the index. Increasing our equity exposure prior to the strong late-period market rally also contributed. Within equities, overweighting foreign securities overall was helpful, as overseas markets beat their U.S. counterparts, supported by currency fluctuations. Nine out of the 10 equity sector central funds handily outperformed their respective components of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, with consumer staples, telecom services and information technology leading the way. Consumer discretionary was the lone detractor, lagging that sector of the index due to suboptimal industry positioning. The fund's collective bond holdings trailed the Lehman Brothers index due to weak results from the investment-grade central fund, which had exposure to the sell-off in subprime mortgage securities. A high single-digit return from the high-income central fund helped offset some of the drag from investment grade, while the cash component of the fund topped its benchmark.
Note to shareholders: Derek Young will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2007.
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 bears its 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
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.
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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Asset Manager 85% (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles 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 Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Asset Manager 85% and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund commenced sale of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional shares and the existing class was designated Asset Manager 85% on October 2, 2006. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 Fidelity Central Fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio* |
Fidelity Equity Sector Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company, 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 share- holder report.
The Central Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities including subprime mortgage securities. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the markets' perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
A 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 and/or advisor.fidelity.com, as applicable. A complete list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets, evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds and monitoring current market trading activity, interest rates, credit quality and default rates for debt instruments. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 net asset value. 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 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 the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 56,330,914 |
Unrealized depreciation | (6,176,831) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 50,154,083 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 7,998,346 |
Capital loss carryforward | (41,699,489) |
| |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 539,868,676 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| September 30, 2007 | September 30, 2006 |
Ordinary Income | $ 8,158,236 | $ 2,067,008 |
New Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), was issued and is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 will not result in a material impact on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market and fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is

Futures Contracts - continued
shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $165,501,158 and $142,083,038, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged ..26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .56% 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.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Institutional Class. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B, 1.00% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 19,654 |
Class T | 2,469 |
Class B* | 432 |
Class C* | 133 |
| $ 22,688 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales
are made.
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, except for Asset Manager 85%. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for Asset Manager 85% shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $229 for the period.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,113 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to

the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $39,475.
9. Expense Reductions.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of Asset Manager 85%'s operating expenses. During the period, this reimbursement reduced the class' expenses by $85,300.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund and the Equity Sector Central Funds provided services in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $52,552 for the period
In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, credits reduced each class' transfer agent expense as noted in the table below.
| Transfer Agent expense reduction | |
Class A | $ 137 | |
Class C | 7 | |
Asset Manager 85% | 16,769 | |
| $ 16,913 | |
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.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in
Annual Report
10. Other - continued
discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.
11. Distributions to Shareholders.

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Charles Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Asset Manager 85%:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Asset Manager 85% (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, including the schedule of investments as of September 30, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2007, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Asset Manager 85% as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Asset Manager 85%
Each year, typically in July, 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 throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of 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. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Equity Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2007 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. 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 management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale 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. The Board also approved amendments to the fund's agreements with foreign sub-advisers to clarify that each sub-adviser provides services as an independent contractor.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, 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 competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with 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 staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. 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.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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 Investment Advisers' 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 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. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources. The Board also considered the agreement reached between the Independent Trustees and Fidelity in December 2006 following an independent review of matters relating to receipt of travel, entertainment, gifts and gratuities in violation of Fidelity policies.
Annual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
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 for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in July 2006, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York AMT Tax-Free Money Market Funds, launching new Institutional Classes and Service Classes of these funds, and contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on these funds; (iv) eliminating the exchange fee on the Fidelity Select Portfolios and reducing the pricing and bookkeeping fee rates for these funds; (v) reducing the maximum transfer agency fee rates on high income funds and certain equity funds; (vi) proposing amended management contracts that, if approved by shareholders, will add a performance adjustment component to the management fees paid by 18 Fidelity Advisor equity funds; (vii) contractually agreeing to reduce fees for Ultra-Short Central Fund and the money market Central Funds; (viii) waiving the Fidelity Advisor funds' contingent deferred sales charge on certain redemptions made through systematic withdrawal programs; and (ix) amending the management contracts for equity and fixed-income funds whose management contracts incorporate a "group fee" structure by adding four new fee "breakpoints" to the group fee rate schedules.
Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for Asset Manager 85% (retail class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for Asset Manager 85% (retail class) measured against (i) a proprietary custom index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total returns of Asset Manager 85% (retail class), the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom 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 Advisor classes of the fund had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2006.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top 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 number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of Asset Manager 85% (retail class). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed by FMR that represents the performance of the fund's two asset classes according to their respective weightings in the fund's neutral mix.

Fidelity Asset Manager 85%

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of Asset Manager 85% (retail class) was in the first quartile for all the periods shown. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and five-year periods, although the three-year cumulative total return of Asset Manager 85% (retail class) compared favorably to its benchmark.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses 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 comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared. The Board also considered supplemental information about how the fund's management fee and total expenses ranked relative to groups based on Lipper classifications, which take into account a fund's market capitalization and style.
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. "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 9% means that 91% 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, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

Management Fees - continued
Fidelity Asset Manager 85%

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 2006.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, 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, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses 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 expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Asset Manager 85% (retail class) ranked below its competitive median for 2006, and the total expenses of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2006. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Annual Report
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, 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 audited books and records of Fidelity. 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 the results 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 believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any 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.
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 determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
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, including reductions that occur through operation of the transfer agent agreement. The transfer agent fee varies in part based on the number of accounts in the fund. If the number of accounts decreases or the average account size increases, the overall transfer agent fee rate decreases.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
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 determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. In connection with the renewal of the fund's management contract, the Board approved amendments to the fund's management contract that added four new fee breakpoints to the group fee rate schedule for assets under FMR's management above $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee rate declines under both the present and amended schedules, but that under the amended schedule, the group fee rate declines faster as assets under FMR's management exceed $1,386 billion. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
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 several topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) Fidelity's portfolio manager compensation structure, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (iii) Fidelity's fee structures; (iv) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (v) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and(2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The actual expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 21, 2007 to September 30, 2007). The hypothetical expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2007
1. Organization.
Fidelity Broad Market Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares of the Fund are only offered to other investment companies and accounts (the Investing Funds) managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or its affiliates. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their 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 the Fidelity Central Funds.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices |
Fidelity Equity Sector Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company, 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 |
A 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 list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site, or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Investments in the Fidelity Central Funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates value.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. 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 net asset value.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements in connection with the tax positions expected to be taken in the initial filing of the Fund's tax return.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
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 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 partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds) and capital loss carry forwards.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 114,093 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (66) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 114,027 | |
Capital loss carry forward | (8,828) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,509,535 | |
New Accounting Pronouncement. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Annual Report

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities including the Equity Central Funds, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,525,881 and $5,364, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee and Expense Contract. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was ..57% 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.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .16% of average net assets.
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 the month.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded 1.00% of average net assets. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. During the period this reimbursement reduced the Fund's expenses by $17,246.
8. 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 mutual funds managed by FMR or an FMR affiliate were the owners of record of all the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement.

We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2007 by correspondence with the transfer agent and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Broad Market Opportunities Fund
On July 11, 2007, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve the management contract and subadvisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information.
In determining whether to approve the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board was aware that shareholders have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, may choose to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio managers and the fund's investment objective and discipline.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board considered the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, cost, and extent of advisory, administrative, distribution, 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. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets 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 phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment Performance. Fidelity Broad Market Opportunities Fund is a new fund and therefore had no historical performance for the Board to review at the time it approved the fund's Advisory Contracts. Once the fund has been in operation for at least one calendar year, the Board will review the fund's absolute and relative investment performance measured against a broad-based securities market index.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Fidelity will benefit the fund's shareholders.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's proposed management fee and projected total operating expenses in reviewing the Advisory Contracts. The Board noted that the fund's proposed management fee rate is lower than the median fee rate of funds with similar Lipper investment objective categories and comparable management fee characteristics. The Board also considered that the projected total operating expenses are comparable to those of similar funds that Fidelity offers to shareholders.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's net management fee and projected total expenses were fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders will receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The fund is a new fund and therefore no revenue, cost, or profitability data was available for the Board to review in respect of the fund at the time it approved the Advisory Contracts. In connection with its future renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider 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.
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 recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total 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 achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved.

(e) (1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.
