Is a Reorganization considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?

FMR normally invests the fund's assets in companies it believes offer the potential for accelerated earnings or revenue growth. | No corresponding strategy. |
Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average price/earnings (P/E) or price/book (P/B) ratios.

For information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Messrs. Kori, Riaz, Scott, Simmons, Sorel, Venanzi, and Wald and Ms. Lesser, please refer to the "Management Contracts" section of each fund's Statement of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.
Each of Advisor Growth Strategies, Mid Cap Growth, and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap pay FMR a management fee that is calculated and paid to FMR each month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Growth Strategies have performed relative to the Russell MidCap® Growth Index and how well Advisor Stock Selector has performed relative to the S&P MidCap 400® Index.
The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52% of the fund's average net assets, and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For May 2012 the group fee rate was 0.26%. The individual fund fee rate for Advisor Growth Strategies is 0.35% of its average net assets. The individual fund fee rate for Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is 0.30% of its average net assets.
For each fund, the performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing the fund's performance over the performance period to that of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index for Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Growth Strategies and the S&P MidCap 400® Index for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap. For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, Advisor Growth Strategies and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's investment performance is based on the performance of Institutional Class shares of the fund, whereas Mid Cap Growth's investment performance is based on the retail class shares of the fund. The performance period for each fund is the most recent 36 month period.
The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.
If either or both of the Reorganizations are approved, the combined fund will retain Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's management fee structure, including the use of Institutional Class shares of the fund for the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment. To the extent that Institutional Class shares of Advisor Growth Strategies or the retail class shares of Mid Cap Growth had higher expenses than Institutional Class shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in the performance period prior to the Reorganizations, this could result in the combined fund bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and a smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if the performance of Institutional Class shares of Advisor Growth Strategies or the retail class shares of Mid Cap Growth were used for purposes of calculating the performance adjustment.

These examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested and that the percentage amounts listed under Annual Operating Expenses remain the same in the years shown. These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to suggest actual or expected expenses, which may vary. The assumed return of 5% is not a prediction of, and does not represent, actual or expected performance of any fund.
The combined fund pro forma expenses shown above assume that both of the Reorganizations occur. Attachment 2 provides pro forma expenses for the combined fund if only Proposal 1 is approved and if only Proposal 2 is approved.
Do the procedures for purchasing and redeeming shares of the funds differ?
The procedures for purchasing shares of the funds are the same. If one or both Reorganizations are approved, the procedures for purchasing shares of the combined fund will remain unchanged.
Except as discussed below, the procedures for redeeming shares of the funds are the same. For Mid Cap Growth, if you sell your shares after holding them less than 30 days, a 0.75% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. If one or both Reorganizations are approved, the combined fund will retain Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's redemption fee policy. Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap does not currently impose a redemption fee; however, the combined fund reserves the right to adopt a redemption fee in the future if it believes it is appropriate.
On June 29, 2012, Advisor Growth Strategies and Mid Cap Growth closed to new accounts pending the Reorganizations. Shareholders of Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Growth Strategies as of that date can continue to purchase shares of their respective fund. Shareholders of Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Growth Strategies may redeem shares of their respective fund through the Closing Date of their fund's Reorganization.

If one or both Reorganizations are approved, the dividend and distribution policies of the combined fund will be the same as the current dividend and distribution policies of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap.
On or before the Closing Date, Advisor Growth Strategies and Mid Cap Growth may declare additional dividends or other distributions in order to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gain, including any net realized gain resulting from any portfolio repositioning prior to the applicable Reorganization.

COMPARISON OF PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS
Many factors affect each fund's performance. Each fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer.
When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money.
The following is a summary of the principal risks associated with an investment in the funds. Because the funds have substantially similar investment objectives and similar strategies as described above, the funds are subject to substantially similar investment risks. Because the funds have some different investment strategies as described above, the funds are also subject to some different investment risks, of which you should be aware.
What risks are associated with an investment in each of the funds?
Each fund is subject to the following principal risks:
Stock Market Volatility: The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.
Issuer Specific Changes: Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
What additional risks are associated with an investment in Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Growth Strategies?
Advisor Growth Strategies and Mid Cap Growth are subject to the following principal risk, which is not a principal risk generally associated with an investment in Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap:
"Growth" Investing: "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.
What additional risks are associated with an investment in Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap?
Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and Mid Cap Growth are subject to the following principal risk, which is not a principal risk generally associated with an investment in Advisor Growth Strategies:
Mid Cap Investing: The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.
For more information about the principal risks associated with an investment in each fund, please refer to the "Investment Details" section of each fund's Prospectus, and to the "Investment Policies and Limitations" section of each fund's Statement of Additional Information, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
How do the funds compare in terms of their performance?
The following information provides some indication of the risks associated with an investment in the funds. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of each fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of each fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index descriptions appear in the "Additional Information about the Index" section of each fund's prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance. Performance history will be available for Fidelity Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund, a retail class of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap, after the class has been in operation for one calendar year.

THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
PROPOSAL 1
TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN ADVISOR GROWTH STRATEGIES AND ADVISOR STOCK SELECTOR MID CAP.
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below in this Proposal 1; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Proxy Statement.
The Agreement contemplates (a) Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Advisor Growth Strategies in exchange solely for shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and the assumption by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of Advisor Growth Strategies' liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap to the shareholders of Advisor Growth Strategies as provided for in the Agreement.
The value of Advisor Growth Strategies' assets to be acquired by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The net asset value of a share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
As of the Closing Date, Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will deliver to Advisor Growth Strategies, and Advisor Growth Strategies will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap so that each Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of Advisor Growth Strategies held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Advisor Growth Strategies will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder's account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap due that shareholder. The net asset value per share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder's interest.
Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Advisor Growth Strategies as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of Advisor Growth Strategies is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Advisor Growth Strategies is liquidated.
Advisor Growth Strategies will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and the Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation, provided the expenses do not exceed its classes' existing voluntary expense caps. Expenses exceeding a class's voluntary expense cap will be paid by FMR.
All of the current investments of Advisor Growth Strategies are permissible investments for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap. Nevertheless, if shareholders approve the Reorganization, FMR may sell certain securities held by the funds and purchase other securities. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Advisor Growth Strategies and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap due to the Reorganization that occur prior to the Closing Date will be borne by Advisor Growth Strategies and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap, respectively. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Advisor Growth Strategies and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap due to the Reorganization that occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments.
The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner, except that no amendment that may have a materially adverse effect on Advisor Growth Strategies shareholders' interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.
Reasons for the Reorganization
In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, each fund's Board of Trustees (the Board) considered a number of factors, including the following:
(1) the compatibility of the investment objectives and policies of the funds;
(2) the historical performance of the funds;
(3) the fees and expenses and the relative expense ratios of the funds;
(4) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to shareholders of the funds;
(5) the costs to be incurred by each fund as a result of the Reorganization;
(6) the tax consequences of the Reorganization;
(7) the relative size of the funds;
(8) the elimination of duplicative funds; and
(9) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to FMR and its affiliates.
FMR proposed the Reorganization to each fund's Board at a meeting of the Board held on June 12, 2012. In proposing the Reorganization, FMR advised the Board that the Reorganization would permit Advisor Growth Strategies shareholders to pursue similar investment goals in a larger combined fund that has the same portfolio management team and similar investment objective and policies.
The Board considered that, if Proposal 1 is approved by shareholders and Proposal 2 is not, Advisor Growth Strategies' shareholders would be expected to benefit from a decrease in total gross expenses of an estimated 0.43% to 0.59% of its average net assets, depending on share class, and a decrease in total net expenses of an estimated 0.24% to 0.58% of its average net assets, depending on share class (based on data for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012). The Board further considered that if both Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are approved by shareholders, Advisor Growth Strategies' shareholders would be expected to benefit from a decrease in total gross expenses of an estimated 0.42% to 0.58% of its average net assets, depending on share class, and a decrease in total net expenses of an estimated 0.23% to 0.56% of its average net assets, depending on share class (based on data for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012). The Board noted that Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap would benefit from increased assets as a result of the Reorganization.
The Board was advised that the expense reductions for Adviser Growth Strategies' shareholders result primarily from spreading fixed costs over a larger asset base and also from a 0.05% reduction in management fee.
The Board was also advised that the consolidation of assets due to the Reorganization would result in FMR collecting higher management fees in the months following the Reorganization because the assets from Advisor Growth Strategies would be subject to the performance adjustment of Stock Selector Mid Cap going forward, although it is not possible to calculate long-term future performance fees without knowing assets and fund and index performance.
The Board considered that the Reorganization would qualify as tax-free for federal income tax purposes and the potential impact to shareholders of each fund.
The Board was advised that FMR believes Advisor Growth Strategies has been unsuccessful in gathering assets and is unlikely to achieve economies of scale as a stand-alone fund, limiting opportunities for further expense reductions.
In recommending the Reorganization, FMR advised the Board that the Reorganization would combine a smaller fund into a larger fund, reducing the number of funds managed by FMR.
The Board considered the proposed Reorganization in the context of a general goal of reducing the number of similar funds managed by FMR, noting that while the reduction of similar funds and funds with lower assets potentially would benefit FMR, it should also benefit shareholders by facilitating increased operational efficiencies.
Each fund's Board carefully reviewed the proposal and determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund and that the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either fund.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
Holders of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares of Advisor Growth Strategies will receive, respectively, Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap.
Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is a series of Advisor Series I. The Trustees of Advisor Series I are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap have no preemptive or, for Class A, Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth in the "Description of the Trusts - Shareholder Liability" section of the fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Advisor Series I does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of record of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of an investment company may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the trust's outstanding shares.
For more information about voting rights and dividend rights, please refer to the "Description of the Trusts - Voting Rights" and the "Distributions and Taxes" sections, respectively, of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference. For more information about redemption rights and exchange privileges, please refer to the "Buying and Selling Shares" and the "Exchanging Shares" sections, respectively, of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The exchange of Advisor Growth Strategies' assets for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's shares and the assumption of the liabilities of Advisor Growth Strategies by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). With respect to the Reorganization, the participating funds will receive an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to Advisor Growth Strategies and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap, substantially to the effect that:
(i) The acquisition by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of substantially all of the assets of Advisor Growth Strategies in exchange solely for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares and the assumption by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of all liabilities of Advisor Growth Strategies followed by the distribution of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares to the Advisor Growth Strategies shareholders in exchange for their Advisor Growth Strategies shares in complete liquidation and termination of Advisor Growth Strategies will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;
(ii) Advisor Growth Strategies will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in exchange solely for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares and the assumption by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of all liabilities of Advisor Growth Strategies, except that Advisor Growth Strategies may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;
(iii) Advisor Growth Strategies will recognize no gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares received by Advisor Growth Strategies in the Reorganization;
(iv) Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of Advisor Growth Strategies in exchange solely for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Advisor Growth Strategies;
(v) The adjusted basis to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of the assets of Advisor Growth Strategies received by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in the Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those assets in the hands of Advisor Growth Strategies immediately before the exchange;
(vi) Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's holding periods with respect to the assets of Advisor Growth Strategies that Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those assets were held by Advisor Growth Strategies (except where investment activities of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);
(vii) The Advisor Growth Strategies shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares in exchange solely for Advisor Growth Strategies shares;
(viii) The aggregate basis of the Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares received by an Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Advisor Growth Strategies shares surrendered by the Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder in exchange therefor; and
(ix) An Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder's holding period for the Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares received by the Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder in the Reorganization will include the holding period during which the Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder held Advisor Growth Strategies shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Advisor Growth Strategies shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization.
Although the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization, it is expected to trigger an "ownership change" for Advisor Growth Strategies, which may limit the ability of the combined fund to use Advisor Growth Strategies' capital loss carryforwards, net realized losses and net unrealized losses (if any, at the time of the Reorganization). Under federal tax law, the combined fund's ability to use those pre-Reorganization losses to offset post-Reorganization gains would generally be subject to an annual limitation that is determined by multiplying the net asset value immediately prior to the Reorganization of Advisor Growth Strategies by the then-current long-term tax-exempt rate published monthly by the IRS.
The table below shows the net asset value, capital loss carryforwards, net unrealized capital gains/losses and year-to-date net realized capital gains/losses of the funds as of June 30, 2012. Based on this data, it appears that the application of the aforementioned limitation may prevent the combined fund from fully using Advisor Growth Strategies' capital loss carryforwards before they expire. The combined fund's ability to use Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's capital loss carryforwards, however, is not expected to be limited as a result of the Reorganization. Following the Reorganization, the tax benefits of each fund's aggregate losses (i.e. the net amount of its capital loss carryforwards, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses), to the extent available, will generally be shared by the shareholders of the combined fund. Given that Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap currently has significantly greater aggregate losses as a percentage of assets than Advisor Growth Strategies, Advisor Growth Strategies shareholders could be moving into a fund that offers greater insulation from future capital gain distributions (i.e. proportionately greater losses to offset future gains) than Advisor Growth Strategies currently does. The actual impact of the Reorganization on the funds' losses (and any associated effect on shareholders) cannot be determined precisely at this time, however, because it will depend on the relevant facts and circumstances relating to each fund's net asset value, capital loss carryforwards, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses as of the time of the Reorganization, as well as the timing and amount of gains and losses recognized by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap following the Reorganization.
Tax Position as of June 30, 2012
Fund Name | Fiscal Year End | Assets | Capital Loss Carryforwards ("CLC's") as of the Fund's Most Recent Fiscal Year End | Current Fiscal Year Net Realized Gains/ (Losses) | Net Unrealized Gains/ (Losses) |
Advisor Growth Strategies | 11/30 | $31.7 | ($3.7)* | ($1.1) | ($0.5) |
Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap | 11/30 | $1,728.3 | ($928.6)** | $61.7 | $28.1 |
All Data in Millions
* Approximately $3.4 million of these CLCs expire in 2016 and approximately $0.250 million of these CLCs expire in 2017.
** Approximately $780.4 million of these CLCs expire in 2016 and approximately $148.2 million of these CLCs expire in 2017.
Shareholders of Advisor Growth Strategies should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the proposed Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.
Forms of Organization
Advisor Growth Strategies is a diversified series of Fidelity Securities Fund, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 1, 1984. Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is a diversified series of Advisor Series I, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 24, 1983. The trusts are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of Massachusetts business trusts, governed by substantially similar Declarations of Trust, the rights of the security holders of Advisor Growth Strategies under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganizations.

FMR does not expect Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, FMR does not anticipate significant changes to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's management or to entities that provide the fund with services. Specifically, the Trustees and officers, the investment adviser, distributor, and other entities will continue to serve Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in their current capacities. Messrs. Kori, Riaz, Scott, Simmons, Sorel, Venanzi, and Wald and Ms. Lesser, who are currently the portfolio managers of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and Advisor Growth Strategies, are expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after the Reorganization.

The combined fund pro forma capitalization shown above assumes that only the Reorganization described this in Proposal 1 occurs. Attachment 3 provides pro forma capitalization for the combined fund if both of the Reorganizations occur. If only this Reorganization were to occur, pro forma combined expenses for each participating class of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap after the applicable Reorganization would still appear exactly as shown above.
The table above assumes that the Reorganization described in this Proposal 1 occurred on May 31, 2012. The table is for information purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares will be received by shareholders of Advisor Growth Strategies on the date that the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap that actually will be received on or after that date.
Conclusion
The Agreement and the Reorganization were approved by the Boards of Trustees of Fidelity Securities Fund and Advisor Series I at a meeting held on June 12, 2012. The Boards of Trustees determined that the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of Advisor Growth Strategies and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and that the interests of existing shareholders of Advisor Growth Strategies and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization does not occur, Advisor Growth Strategies will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Securities Fund may consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of the fund.
The Board of Trustees of Advisor Growth Strategies unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization by approving the Agreement.
PROPOSAL 2
TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN MID CAP GROWTH AND ADVISOR STOCK SELECTOR MID CAP.
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below in this Proposal 2; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Proxy Statement.
The Agreement contemplates (a) Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Mid Cap Growth in exchange solely for shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and the assumption by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of Mid Cap Growth's liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap to the shareholders of Mid Cap Growth as provided for in the Agreement.
The value of Mid Cap Growth's assets to be acquired by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The net asset value of a share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will be determined as of the same time using the valuation procedures set forth in its then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
As of the Closing Date, Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will deliver to Mid Cap Growth, and Mid Cap Growth will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap so that each Mid Cap Growth shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of Mid Cap Growth held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Mid Cap Growth will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Mid Cap Growth shareholder's account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap due that shareholder. The net asset value per share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will be unchanged by the transaction. Thus, the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of any shareholder's interest.
Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Mid Cap Growth as of that time shall be paid by the person to whom such shares are to be issued as a condition of such transfer. Any reporting responsibility of Mid Cap Growth is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Mid Cap Growth is liquidated.
Mid Cap Growth will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and the Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation, provided the expenses do not exceed its classes' existing voluntary expense caps. Expenses exceeding a class's voluntary expense cap will be paid by FMR.
All of the current investments of Mid Cap Growth are permissible investments for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap. Nevertheless, if shareholders approve the Reorganization, FMR may sell certain securities held by the funds and purchase other securities. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap due to the Reorganization that occur prior to the Closing Date will be borne by Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap, respectively. Any transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments to Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap due to the Reorganization that occur after the Closing Date and any additional merger-related costs attributable to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap. The funds may recognize a taxable gain or loss on the disposition of securities pursuant to these portfolio adjustments.
The consummation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Agreement, some of which may be waived by a fund. In addition, the Agreement may be amended in any mutually agreeable manner, except that no amendment that may have a materially adverse effect on Mid Cap Growth shareholders' interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.
Reasons for the Reorganization
In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, each fund's Board of Trustees (the Board) considered a number of factors, including the following:
(1) the compatibility of the investment objectives and policies of the funds;
(2) the historical performance of the funds;
(3) the fees and expenses and the relative expense ratios of the funds;
(4) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to shareholders of the funds;
(5) the costs to be incurred by each fund as a result of the Reorganization;
(6) the tax consequences of the Reorganization;
(7) the relative size of the funds;
(8) the elimination of duplicative funds; and
(9) the potential benefit of the Reorganization to FMR and its affiliates.
FMR proposed the Reorganization to each fund's Board at a meeting of the Board held on June 12, 2012. In proposing the Reorganization, FMR advised the Board that the Reorganization would permit Mid Cap Growth shareholders to pursue similar investment goals in a larger combined fund that has the same portfolio management team and similar investment objective and policies.
The Board considered that if both Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are approved by shareholders, or if only Proposal 2 is approved by shareholders, shareholders of each of Mid Cap Growth's share classes except Institutional Class would be expected to benefit from a decrease in total gross expenses of an estimated 0.03% to 0.16% of its average net assets, depending on share class, but that total expenses gross for Institutional Class shareholders would be expected to increase by an estimated 0.01% of its average net assets (based on data for the twelve months ended March 31, 2012). The Board noted that Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap would benefit from increased assets as a result of the Reorganization.
The Board was advised that the expense reductions for Mid Cap Growth's shareholders result primarily from spreading fixed costs over a larger asset base.
The Board was also advised that the consolidation of assets due to the Reorganization would result in FMR collecting higher management fees in the months following the Reorganization because the assets from Mid Cap Growth would be subject to the performance adjustment of Stock Selector Mid Cap going forward, although it is not possible to calculate long-term future performance fees without knowing assets and fund and index performance.
The Board considered that the Reorganization would qualify as tax-free for federal income tax purposes and the potential impact to shareholders of each fund.
The Board was advised that FMR believes Mid Cap Growth has been unsuccessful in gathering assets and is unlikely to achieve economies of scale as a stand-alone fund, limiting opportunities for further expense reductions.
In recommending the Reorganization, FMR advised the Board that the Reorganization would combine a smaller fund into a larger fund, reducing the number of funds managed by FMR.
The Board considered the proposed Reorganization in the context of a general goal of reducing the number of similar funds managed by FMR, noting that while the reduction of similar funds and funds with lower assets potentially would benefit FMR, it should also benefit shareholders by facilitating increased operational efficiencies.
Each fund's Board carefully reviewed the proposal and determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund and that the Reorganization will not result in a dilution of the interests of the shareholders of either fund.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
Holders of Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and Fidelity Mid Cap Growth Fund (retail class) shares of Mid Cap Growth will receive, respectively, Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and Fidelity Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund (retail class) shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap.
Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is a series of Advisor Series I. The Trustees of Advisor Series I are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap have no preemptive or, for Class A, Class T, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth in the "Description of the Trusts - Shareholder Liability" section of the fund's Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Advisor Series I does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of record of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of an investment company may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the trust's outstanding shares.
For more information about voting rights and dividend rights, please refer to the "Description of the Trusts - Voting Rights" and the "Distributions and Taxes" sections, respectively, of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference. For more information about redemption rights and exchange privileges, please refer to the "Buying and Selling Shares" and the "Exchanging Shares" sections, respectively, of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The exchange of Mid Cap Growth's assets for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's shares and the assumption of the liabilities of Mid Cap Growth by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. With respect to the Reorganization, the participating funds will receive an opinion from Dechert LLP, counsel to Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap, substantially to the effect that:
(i) The acquisition by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of substantially all of the assets of Mid Cap Growth in exchange solely for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares and the assumption by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of all liabilities of Mid Cap Growth followed by the distribution of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares to the Mid Cap Growth shareholders in exchange for their Mid Cap Growth shares in complete liquidation and termination of Mid Cap Growth will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;
(ii) Mid Cap Growth will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of substantially all of its assets to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in exchange solely for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares and the assumption by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of all liabilities of Mid Cap Growth, except that Mid Cap Growth may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;
(iii) Mid Cap Growth will recognize no gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of the Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares received by Mid Cap Growth in the Reorganization;
(iv) Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of Mid Cap Growth in exchange solely for Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares and the assumption of all liabilities of Mid Cap Growth;
(v) The adjusted basis to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap of the assets of Mid Cap Growth received by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in the Reorganization will be the same as the adjusted basis of those assets in the hands of Mid Cap Growth immediately before the exchange;
(vi) Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's holding periods with respect to the assets of Mid Cap Growth that Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap acquires in the Reorganization will include the respective periods for which those assets were held by Mid Cap Growth (except where investment activities of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);
(vii) The Mid Cap Growth shareholders will recognize no gain or loss upon receiving Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares in exchange solely for Mid Cap Growth shares;
(viii) The aggregate basis of the Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares received by a Mid Cap Growth shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Mid Cap Growth shares surrendered by the Mid Cap Growth shareholder in exchange therefor; and
(ix) A Mid Cap Growth shareholder's holding period for the Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares received by the Mid Cap Growth shareholder in the Reorganization will include the holding period during which the Mid Cap Growth shareholder held Mid Cap Growth shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Mid Cap Growth shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization.
Although the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization, it is expected to trigger an "ownership change" for Mid Cap Growth, which may limit the ability of the combined fund to use Mid Cap Growth's capital loss carryforwards, net realized losses and net unrealized losses (if any, at the time of the Reorganization). Under federal tax law, the combined fund's ability to use those pre-Reorganization losses to offset post-Reorganization gains would generally be subject to an annual limitation that is determined by multiplying the net asset value immediately prior to the Reorganization of Mid Cap Growth by the then-current long-term tax-exempt rate published monthly by the IRS.
The table below shows the net asset value, capital loss carryforwards, net unrealized capital gains/losses and year-to-date net realized capital gains/losses of the funds as of June 30, 2012. Based on this data, the aforementioned limitation may have some impact on the timing and size of capital gain distributions, but would not prevent the combined fund from fully using Mid Cap Growth's capital loss carryforwards before they expire. If circumstances change significantly between now and the Closing Date these limitations could cause some of Mid Cap Growth's capital loss carryforwards to expire unused. The combined fund's ability to use Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's capital loss carryforwards, however, is not expected to be limited as a result of the Reorganization. Following the Reorganization, the tax benefits of each fund's aggregate losses (i.e. the net amount of its capital loss carryforwards, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses), to the extent available, will generally be shared by the shareholders of the combined fund. Given that Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap currently has significantly greater aggregate losses as a percentage of assets than Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth shareholders could be moving into a fund that offers greater insulation from future capital gain distributions (i.e. proportionately greater losses to offset future gains) than Mid Cap Growth currently does. The actual impact of the Reorganization on the funds' losses (and any associated effect on shareholders) cannot be determined precisely at this time, however, because it will depend on the relevant facts and circumstances relating to each fund's net asset value, capital loss carryforwards, net realized gains/losses and net unrealized gains/losses as of the time of the Reorganization, as well as the timing and amount of gains and losses recognized by Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap following the Reorganization.
Tax Position as of June 30, 2012
Fund Name | Fiscal Year End | Assets | Capital Loss Carryforwards ("CLC's") as of the Fund's Most Recent Fiscal Year End | Current Fiscal Year Net Realized Gains/ (Losses) | Net Unrealized Gains/ (Losses) |
Mid Cap Growth | 1/31 | $251.7 | ($19.6)* | ($1.7) | ($3.1) |
Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap | 11/30 | $1,728.3 | ($928.6)** | $61.7 | $28.1 |
All Data in Millions
* Approximately $2.6 million of these CLCs expire in 2017 and approximately $17 million of these CLCs expire in 2018.
** Approximately $780.4 million of these CLCs expire in 2016 and approximately $148.2 million of these CLCs expire in 2017.
Shareholders of Mid Cap Growth should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the proposed Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.
Forms of Organization
Mid Cap Growth is a diversified series of Fidelity Devonshire Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on March 4, 1985. Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap is a diversified series of Advisor Series I, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 24, 1983. The trusts are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of Massachusetts business trusts, governed by substantially similar Declarations of Trust, the rights of the security holders of Mid Cap Growth under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganizations.
For more information regarding shareholder rights, please refer to the "Description of the Trusts" section of each fund's Statement of Additional Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Operations of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Following the Reorganizations
FMR does not expect Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, FMR does not anticipate significant changes to Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap's management or to entities that provide the fund with services. Specifically, the Trustees and officers, the investment adviser, distributor, and other entities will continue to serve Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap in their current capacities. Messrs. Kori, Riaz, Scott, Simmons, Sorel, Venanzi, and Wald and Ms. Lesser, who are currently the portfolio managers of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and Mid Cap Growth, are expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund after the Reorganization.

No assurance can be given as to how many Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap shares will be received by shareholders of Mid Cap Growth on the date that the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap that actually will be received on or after that date.
Conclusion
The Agreement and the Reorganization were approved by the Boards of Trustees of Fidelity Devonshire Trust and Advisor Series I at a meeting held on June 12, 2012. The Boards of Trustees determined that the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap and that the interests of existing shareholders of Mid Cap Growth and Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization does not occur, Mid Cap Growth will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees of Mid Cap Growth may consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of the fund.

Record Date; Quorum; and Method of Tabulation
Shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 17, 2012 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting of the fund in which they hold shares. Each such shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value held as of that date, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportional fractional vote.
If the enclosed proxy card is executed and returned, or an internet or telephonic vote is delivered, that vote may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the trust, by the execution of a later-dated proxy card, by the trust's receipt of a subsequent valid telephonic or internet vote, or by attending a fund's Meeting and voting in person.
All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to each Meeting, and that are not revoked, will be voted at each Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a proxy card, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy card. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted toward establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes. (Broker non-votes are shares for which (i) the beneficial owner has not voted and (ii) the broker holding the shares does not have discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.)
With respect to fund shares held in Fidelity individual retirement accounts (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP, SAR-SEP, Roth and SIMPLE IRAs), the IRA Custodian will vote those shares for which it has received instructions from shareholders only in accordance with such instructions. If Fidelity IRA shareholders do not vote their shares, the IRA Custodian will vote their shares for them, in the same proportion as other Fidelity IRA shareholders have voted.
One-third of each fund's outstanding voting securities entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the applicable Meeting. For each Meeting, if a quorum is not present, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote FOR the proposal, unless directed to vote AGAINST the proposal, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment. For Mid Cap Growth, please visit www.fidelity.com/proxies to determine the status of this scheduled Meeting.
FMR has advised the trust that certain shares are registered to FMR or an FMR affiliate. To the extent that FMR or an FMR affiliate has discretion to vote, these shares will be voted at each Meeting FOR each proposal. Otherwise, these shares will be voted in accordance with the plan or agreement governing the shares. Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.

Required Vote
Approval of each Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the specific fund involved in that Reorganization. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at each Meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. Votes to ABSTAIN and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes cast AGAINST a proposal.
Other Business
The Board knows of no business other than the matters set forth in this Proxy Statement to be brought before each Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before each Meeting, it is the intention that proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons therein designated.

Fund Summary - continued
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated and if you hold your shares:
| Class A | Class T | Class B | Class C |
| Sell All Shares | Hold Shares | Sell All Shares | Hold Shares | Sell All Shares | Hold Shares | Sell All Shares | Hold Shares |
1 year | $ 665 | $ 665 | $ 461 | $ 461 | $ 676 | $ 176 | $ 271 | $ 171 |
3 years | $ 857 | $ 857 | $ 697 | $ 697 | $ 845 | $ 545 | $ 530 | $ 530 |
5 years | $ 1,065 | $ 1,065 | $ 950 | $ 950 | $ 1,139 | $ 939 | $ 913 | $ 913 |
10 years | $ 1,663 | $ 1,663 | $ 1,677 | $ 1,677 | $ 1,734 | $ 1,734 | $ 1,987 | $ 1,987 |
Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 198% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
- Normally investing at least 80% of assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell Midcap® Index or the S&P MidCap 400® Index).
- Potentially investing in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.
- Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
- Allocating the fund's assets across different market sectors (at present, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, telecom services, and utilities), using different Fidelity managers.
- Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
- Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
- Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Tax Information
Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax and generally will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, and may also be subject to state or local taxes, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account (in which case you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, FMR, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, or other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment.

Fund Basics
Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal Investment Strategies
FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of medium market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, FMR generally defines medium market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap® Index or the S&P MidCap 400 Index. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.
FMR allocates the fund's assets across different market sectors, using different Fidelity managers to handle investments within each sector. At present, these sectors include consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, telecom services, and utilities.
FMR expects the fund's sector allocations will approximate the sector weightings of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. While FMR may overweight or underweight one or more sectors from time to time, FMR expects the returns of the fund to be driven primarily by the security selections of the managers of each sector.
FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.
In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.
FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.
If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.
Description of Principal Security Types
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.
Prospectus
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.
The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
Prospectus
Fund Basics - continued
Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Fundamental Investment Policies
The following policy is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Shareholder Notice
The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations.
The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.
A class's NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing each class's NAV.
NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
Shares of open-end funds in which the fund may invest (referred to as underlying funds) are valued at their respective NAVs. The fund's NAV is calculated using the values of any underlying funds in which it invests. Other assets (as well as assets held by an underlying Fidelity non-money market fund) are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in FMR's opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by FMR in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in FMR's opinion, a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by FMR in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. Assets held by an underlying Fidelity money market fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost.
Prospectus
Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of a fund's NAV by short-term traders.
Although the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.
Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

Shareholder Information
General Information
Subject to certain limited exceptions described below, the fund no longer accepts investments in Class B shares. Existing Class B shareholders may continue (i) to hold their Class B shares (including any Class B shares acquired pursuant to an exchange or the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions), (ii) to exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for Advisor B Class shares of Treasury Fund, and (iii) to add to their accounts through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions paid on Class B shares (including through the Directed Dividends® option), in each case until those Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares under the existing conversion schedule. Any purchase order for Class B shares of the fund (other than pursuant to an exchange or the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions) will be deemed to be a purchase order for Class A shares of the fund and will be subject to any applicable Class A front-end sales charge. For purposes of determining the applicable Class A sales charge, the value of a shareholder's account will be deemed to include the value of all applicable shares, including Class B shares, in all eligible accounts. For more information, please see the Fund Distribution section of the prospectus.
You may buy or sell Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares of the fund through a retirement account or an investment professional. When you invest through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ. Additional fees may also apply to your investment in Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares of the fund, including a transaction fee if you buy or sell Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C shares of the fund through a broker or other investment professional.
You should include the following information with any order to buy, sell, or exchange shares:
- Your name;
- Your account number;
- Name of fund whose shares you want to buy or sell; and
- Dollar amount or number of shares you want to buy or sell.
Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity).
Excessive Trading Policy
The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.
Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.
Prospectus
The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.
Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.
Exceptions
The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.
Omnibus Accounts
Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.
If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.
Retirement Plans
For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.
Qualified Wrap Programs
The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.
Prospectus
Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy
The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.
The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.
As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.
Buying Shares
The price to buy one share of Class A or Class T is its offering price or its NAV, depending on whether you pay a front-end sales charge.
The price to buy one share of Class B or Class C is its NAV. Class B or Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC upon redemption.
If you pay a front-end sales charge, your price will be Class A's or Class T's offering price. When you buy Class A or Class T shares at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the appropriate sales charge and invests the rest in Class A or Class T shares of the fund. If you qualify for a front-end sales charge waiver, your price will be Class A's or Class T's NAV.
The offering price of Class A or Class T is its NAV plus the sales charge. The offering price is calculated by dividing Class A's or Class T's NAV by the difference between one and the applicable front-end sales charge percentage and rounding to the nearest cent.
The dollar amount of the sales charge for Class A or Class T is the difference between the offering price of the shares purchased and the NAV of those shares. Since the offering price per share is calculated to the nearest cent using standard rounding criteria, the percentage sales charge you actually pay may be higher or lower than the sales charge percentages shown in this prospectus due to rounding. The impact of rounding may vary with the amount of your investment and the size of the class's NAV.
Your investment professional can help you choose the class of shares that best suits your investment needs.
Your shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next calculated after your order is received in proper form.
It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.
The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the offering price or NAV, as applicable, next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for (i) certain Fidelity retirement accounts funded through salary deduction, or fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts or from a Fidelity systematic withdrawal service, or (ii) certain mutual fund wrap program accounts. An eligible wrap program must offer asset allocation services, charge an asset-based fee to its participants for asset allocation and/or other advisory services, and meet trading and other operational requirements under an appropriate agreement with FDC. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.
Purchase and balance minimums are waived for purchases of Class T shares with distributions from a Fidelity Defined Trust account.
The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.
Shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date.
Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria established by FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.
Selling Shares
The price to sell one share of Class A, Class T, Class B, or Class C is its NAV, minus any applicable CDSC.
Any applicable CDSC is calculated based on your original redemption amount.
Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus any applicable CDSC. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:
- When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
- When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;
- When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
- In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker-dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
- If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above the required minimum to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
- Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.
- Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
- Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
- You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
- Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions. Additional documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain fiduciaries.

Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable CDSC, on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.
Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December and January.
Distribution Options
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for each class:
1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.
2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.
Prospectus
3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.
4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain identically registered Fidelity funds. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in the same class of shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares or shares of certain identically registered Fidelity funds, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund, or paid in cash.
Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact your investment professional directly or call Fidelity.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.
Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. A percentage of certain distributions of dividends may qualify for taxation at long-term capital gains rates (provided certain holding period requirements are met).
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.
Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed 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.
The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
Management fee | = | Basic fee | +/- | Performance adjustment |
The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.
Prospectus
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For November 2011, the group fee rate was 0.26%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.
The basic fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, was 0.56% of the fund's average net assets.
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund's performance to that of the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the fund, the fund's investment performance will be based on the performance of Institutional Class of the fund. To the extent that Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C have higher expenses, this could result in Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class's own performance were considered.
The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.
The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.
The total management fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, was 0.36% of the fund's average net assets. Because the fund's management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund's management fee may be higher or lower in the future.
FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund's annual report for the fiscal period ended November 30, 2011.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for, or waive, management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.
The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.
FDC distributes each class's shares.
Intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of class shares. This compensation may take the form of:

For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Combined Purchase program, they must be made on the same day through one intermediary.
Rights of Accumulation. To receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction, if you are an existing shareholder, you may add to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares the current value of your holdings in: (i) Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (ii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, (iii) Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund acquired by exchange from any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iv) Class O shares of Fidelity Advisor Diversified Stock Fund and Fidelity Advisor Capital Development Fund, and (v) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. The current value of your holdings is determined at the NAV at the close of business on the day prior to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares. The current value of your holdings will be added to your purchase of Class A or Class T shares for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program. For your purchases and holdings to be aggregated for the purpose of qualifying for the Rights of Accumulation program, they must have been made through one intermediary.
Letter of Intent. You may receive a Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reduction on your purchases of Class A and Class T shares made during a 13-month period by signing a Letter of Intent (Letter). File your Letter with Fidelity no later than the date of the initial purchase toward completing your Letter. Each Class A or Class T purchase you make toward completing your Letter will be entitled to the reduced front-end sales charge applicable to the total investment indicated in the Letter. Purchases of the following may be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter: (i) Class A and Class T shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares (except those acquired by exchange from Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund that had been previously exchanged from a Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares), (ii) Class B and Class C shares of any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, (iii) Advisor B Class shares and Advisor C Class shares of Treasury Fund, and (iv) Class A Units (New and Old), Class B Units (New and Old), Class C Units, Class D Units, and Class P Units of the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan. Reinvested income and capital gain distributions will not be considered purchases for the purpose of completing your Letter. For your purchases to be aggregated for the purpose of completing your Letter, they must be made through one intermediary. Your initial purchase toward completing your Letter must be at least 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter. Fidelity will register Class A or Class T shares equal to 5% of the total investment specified in your Letter in your name and will hold those shares in escrow. You will earn income, dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed Class A and Class T shares. The escrow will be released when you complete your Letter. You are not obligated to complete your Letter. If you do not complete your Letter, you must pay the increased front-end sales charges due in accordance with the sales charge schedule in effect when your shares were originally bought. Fidelity may redeem sufficient escrowed Class A or Class T shares to pay any applicable front-end sales charges. If you purchase more than the amount specified in your Letter and qualify for additional Class A or Class T front-end sales charge reductions, the front-end sales charge will be adjusted to reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months and the surplus amount will be applied to your purchase of additional Class A or Class T shares at the then-current offering price applicable to the total investment.

Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions will not be subject to a CDSC. In determining the applicability and rate of any CDSC at redemption, shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains will be redeemed first, followed by those shares that have been held for the longest period of time.
A front-end sales charge will not apply to the following Class A or Class T shares:
1. Purchased for an employee benefit plan other than a plan investing through the Fidelity Advisor 403(b) program. For this purpose, employee benefit plans generally include 401(a), 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) governmental plans, but do not include: IRAs, SIMPLE, SEP, or SARSEP plans; or health savings accounts;

Information on sales charge reductions and waivers is available free of charge on www.advisor.fidelity.com.
Finder's Fees. Finder's fees may be paid to investment professionals who sell Class A and Class T shares in purchase amounts of $1 million or more. For Class A share purchases, investment professionals may be compensated at the time of purchase with a finder's fee at the rate of 1.00% of the purchase amount for purchases of $1 million up to $4 million, 0.50% of the purchase amount for purchases of $4 million up to $25 million, and 0.25% of the purchase amount for purchases of $25 million or more. For Class T share purchases, investment professionals may be compensated at the time of purchase with a finder's fee at the rate of 0.25% of the purchase amount.
Investment professionals may be eligible for a finder's fee on the following purchases of Class A and Class T shares made through broker-dealers and banks: a trade that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor, including a 403(b) program or an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)), over $1 million; a trade for an investor with an accumulated account value of $1 million or more; and an incremental trade toward an investor's $1 million Letter. Accumulated account value for purposes of finder's fees eligibility is determined the same as it is for Rights of Accumulation. Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund are not counted for this purpose unless acquired by exchange from any Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares. For information, see "Combined Purchase, Rights of Accumulation, and Letter of Intent Programs" above.

Finder's fees are not paid in connection with purchases of Class A or Class T shares by insurance company separate accounts or managed account programs that charge an asset-based fee, or purchases of Class A or Class T shares made with the proceeds from the redemption of shares of any Fidelity fund or any retirement plan recordkept at Fidelity.
Investment professionals should contact Fidelity in advance to determine if they qualify to receive a finder's fee. Finder's fees will be paid in connection with shares recordkept in a Fidelity Advisor 401(k) Retirement Plan only at the time of the initial conversion of assets. Investment professionals should contact Fidelity for more information.
Reinstatement Privilege. If you have sold all or part of your Class A, Class T, or Class C shares of the fund, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption proceeds in the same class of the fund or another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares, at the NAV next determined after receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption. Under these circumstances, the dollar amount of the CDSC you paid, if any, on shares will be reimbursed to you by reinvesting that amount in Class A, Class T, or Class C shares, as applicable. If you have sold all or part of your Class B shares of the fund, you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption proceeds in Class A shares (without incurring a front-end sales charge) of the fund or another Fidelity fund that offers Advisor classes of shares at the NAV next determined after receipt in proper form of your investment order, provided that such reinvestment is made within 90 days of redemption.
You must reinstate your shares into an account with the same registration. This privilege may be exercised only once by a shareholder with respect to the fund and certain restrictions may apply. For purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class A, Class T, or Class C shares had not been redeemed. To qualify for the reinstatement privilege, you must notify Fidelity in writing in advance of your reinvestment.
Conversion Feature. After a maximum of seven years from the initial date of purchase, Class B shares and any capital appreciation associated with those shares convert automatically to Class A shares of the fund. Conversion to Class A shares will be made at NAV. At the time of conversion, a portion of the Class B shares bought through the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains (Dividend Shares) will also convert to Class A shares. The portion of Dividend Shares that will convert is determined by the ratio of your converting Class B non-Dividend Shares to your total Class B non-Dividend Shares.

Fund Summary
Fund/Class:
Fidelity Advisor® Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund/Institutional
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy, hold, or sell shares of the fund.
Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
Annual class operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)
Management fee (fluctuates based on the fund's performance relative to a securities market index) | 0.36% |
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees | None |
Other expenses | 0.26% |
Acquired fund fees and expenses | 0.02% |
Total annual operating expensesA | 0.64% |
A Differs from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus because of acquired fund fees and expenses.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
1 year | $ 65 |
3 years | $ 205 |
5 years | $ 357 |
10 years | $ 798 |
Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 198% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies
- Normally investing at least 80% of assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell Midcap® Index or the S&P MidCap 400® Index).
- Potentially investing in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.
- Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
- Allocating the fund's assets across different market sectors (at present, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, telecom services, and utilities), using different Fidelity managers.
- Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
- Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
- Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index description appears in the Additional Information about the Index section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Fund Basics
Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal Investment Strategies
FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of medium market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, FMR generally defines medium market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap® Index or the S&P MidCap 400® Index. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.
FMR allocates the fund's assets across different market sectors, using different Fidelity managers to handle investments within each sector. At present, these sectors include consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, telecom services, and utilities.
FMR expects the fund's sector allocations will approximate the sector weightings of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. While FMR may overweight or underweight one or more sectors from time to time, FMR expects the returns of the fund to be driven primarily by the security selections of the managers of each sector.
FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.
In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.
FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.
If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.
Description of Principal Security Types
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.
Prospectus
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.
The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
Prospectus
Fund Basics - continued
Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Fundamental Investment Policies
The following policy is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Shareholder Notice
The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations.
The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.
A class's NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the class's NAV.
NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
Shares of open-end funds in which the fund may invest (referred to as underlying funds) are valued at their respective NAVs. The fund's NAV is calculated using the values of any underlying funds in which it invests. Other assets (as well as assets held by an underlying Fidelity non-money market fund) are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in FMR's opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by FMR in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in FMR's opinion, a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by FMR in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. Assets held by an underlying Fidelity money market fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost.
Prospectus
Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of a fund's NAV by short-term traders.
Although the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.
Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

Shareholder Information
General Information
You may buy or sell Institutional Class shares of the fund through a retirement account or an investment professional. When you invest through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging Institutional Class shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ. Additional fees may also apply to your investment in Institutional Class shares of the fund, including a transaction fee if you buy or sell Institutional Class shares of the fund through a broker or other investment professional.
You should include the following information with any order to buy, sell, or exchange shares:
- Your name;
- Your account number;
- Name of fund whose shares you want to buy or sell; and
- Dollar amount or number of shares you want to buy or sell.
Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity).
Excessive Trading Policy
The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.
Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.
The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.
Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Exceptions
The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.
Omnibus Accounts
Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.
Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.
If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.
Prospectus
Retirement Plans
For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.
Qualified Wrap Programs
The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.
Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy
The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.
The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.
As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.
Buying Shares
Institutional Class shares are offered to:
1. Employee benefit plans investing through an intermediary. For this purpose, employee benefit plans generally include profit sharing, 401(k), and 403(b) plans, but do not include: IRAs; SIMPLE, SEP, or SARSEP plans; plans covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans); health savings accounts; or plans investing through the Fidelity Advisor 403(b) program;

Your shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form.
It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to buy shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.
The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for (i) investments through Portfolio Advisory Services, (ii) certain Fidelity retirement accounts funded through salary deduction, or fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts or from a Fidelity systematic withdrawal service, (iii) investments through a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, or (iv) certain mutual fund wrap program accounts. An eligible wrap program must offer asset allocation services, charge an asset-based fee to its participants for asset allocation and/or other advisory services, and meet trading and other operational requirements under an appropriate agreement with FDC. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.
Prospectus
The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.
Institutional Class shares can be bought or sold through investment professionals using an automated order placement and settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date.
Certain financial institutions that meet creditworthiness criteria established by FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than close of business on the next business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution will be liable for any losses.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.
Selling Shares
The price to sell one share of Institutional Class is its NAV.
Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your order to sell shares to Fidelity before the close of business on the day you place your order.
The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:
- When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
- When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
- When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
- In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker-dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
- If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above the required minimum to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
- Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.
- Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
- Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
- You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
- Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. The fund no longer issues share certificates.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
As an Institutional Class shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging your Institutional Class shares for Institutional Class shares of other Fidelity funds that offer Advisor classes of shares or for shares of Fidelity funds.
Through your investment professional, you may also move between certain share classes of the same fund. For more information, see the statement of additional information (SAI) or consult your investment professional.
However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:
- The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
Prospectus
- The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
- Before exchanging into a fund or class, read its prospectus.
- The fund or class you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
- Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
- If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
- Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.
Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Your shares will be sold at the NAV on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.
Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December and January.
Prospectus
Distribution Options
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for Institutional Class:
1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Institutional Class shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.
2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Institutional Class shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.
3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.
4. Directed Dividends® Option.

Not all distribution options are available for every account. If the option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current option, contact your investment professional directly or call Fidelity.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.
Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. A percentage of certain distributions of dividends may qualify for taxation at long-term capital gains rates (provided certain holding period requirements are met).
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.
Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed 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.
The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
Management fee | = | Basic fee | +/- | Performance adjustment |
The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.
Prospectus
Fund Services - continued
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For November 2011, the group fee rate was 0.26%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.
The basic fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, was 0.56% of the fund's average net assets.
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund's performance to that of the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the fund, the fund's investment performance will be based on the performance of Institutional Class of the fund.
The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.
The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.
The total management fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, was 0.36% of the fund's average net assets. Because the fund's management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund's management fee may be higher or lower in the future.
FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund's annual report for the fiscal period ended November 30, 2011.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for, or waive, management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.
The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.
FDC distributes Institutional Class shares.
Intermediaries, including banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of Institutional Class shares. This compensation may take the form of payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services and payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.
Prospectus
Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.
Institutional Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Institutional Class shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Institutional Class.
If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Institutional Class's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC.

Fund Summary - continued
Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 198% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
- Normally investing at least 80% of assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations (which, for purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell Midcap® Index or the S&P MidCap 400® Index).
- Potentially investing in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.
- Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
- Allocating the fund's assets across different market sectors (at present, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, telecom services, and utilities), using different Fidelity managers.
- Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
- Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
- Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
- Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
- Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Fidelity Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund would have substantially similar annual returns to Institutional Class because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities. Fidelity Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund's returns would differ from Institutional Class's returns to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.
Average Annual Returns
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, but do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. After-tax returns for Institutional Class are shown in the table below and after-tax returns for other classes will vary. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your shares in a retirement account or in another tax-deferred arrangement. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than other returns for the same period due to a tax benefit of realizing a capital loss upon the sale of fund shares.

Fund Basics
Investment Objective
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal Investment Strategies
FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of medium market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, FMR generally defines medium market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap® Index or the S&P MidCap 400® Index. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.
FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.
FMR allocates the fund's assets across different market sectors, using different Fidelity managers to handle investments within each sector. At present, these sectors include consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, telecom services, and utilities.
FMR expects the fund's sector allocations will approximate the sector weightings of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. While FMR may overweight or underweight one or more sectors from time to time, FMR expects the returns of the fund to be driven primarily by the security selections of the managers of each sector.
FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment of a company's potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions.
In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.
FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.
If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.
Description of Principal Security Types
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Fund Basics - continued
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in the fund.
The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations can be dramatic over the short as well as long term, and different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Terrorism and related geo-political risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.
Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security's or instrument's value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
Prospectus
Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.
In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Fundamental Investment Policies
The following policy is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval:
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Shareholder Notice
The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks of companies with medium market capitalizations.
The fund is open for business each day the NYSE is open.
The fund's NAV is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The fund's assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV. Fidelity calculates net asset value separately for each class of shares of a multiple class fund.
NAV is not calculated and the fund will not process purchase and redemption requests submitted on days when the fund is not open for business. The time at which shares are priced and until which purchase and redemption orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
Shares of open-end funds in which the fund may invest (referred to as underlying funds) are valued at their respective NAVs. The fund's NAV is calculated using the values of any underlying funds in which it invests. Other assets (as well as assets held by an underlying Fidelity non-money market fund) are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or, in FMR's opinion, are deemed unreliable for a security, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by FMR in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. For example, if, in FMR's opinion, a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, then that security will be fair valued in good faith by FMR in accordance with applicable fair value pricing policies. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt securities when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. Assets held by an underlying Fidelity money market fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost.
Prospectus
Fund Basics - continued
Arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas markets but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of a fund's NAV by short-term traders.
Although the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.
Fair value pricing is based on subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value of a security may differ materially from the value that would be realized if the security were sold.

Shareholder Information
General Information
Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is one of the world's largest providers of financial services.
In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.
You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).
If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).
You may also buy or sell shares of the fund through a retirement account (such as an IRA or an account funded through salary deductions) or an investment professional. Retirement specialists are available at 1-800-544-4774 to answer your questions about Fidelity retirement products. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of the fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.
You should include the following information with any order to buy, sell, or exchange shares:
- Your name;
- Your account number;
- Name of fund whose shares you want to buy or sell; and
- Dollar amount or number of shares you want to buy or sell.
Certain methods of contacting Fidelity, such as by telephone or electronically, may be unavailable or delayed (for example, during periods of unusual market activity). In addition, the level and type of service available may be restricted based on criteria established by Fidelity.
Excessive Trading Policy
The fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase or exchange, including transactions deemed to represent excessive trading, at any time.
Prospectus
Excessive trading of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV.
The Board of Trustees has adopted policies designed to discourage excessive trading of fund shares. Excessive trading activity in the fund is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account and each class of a multiple class fund is treated separately. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder sells fund shares (including exchanges) within 30 days of the purchase date.
Shareholders with two or more roundtrip transactions in a single fund within a rolling 90-day period will be blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of the fund for 85 days. Shareholders with four or more roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds within any rolling 12-month period will be blocked for at least 85 days from additional purchases or exchange purchases across all Fidelity funds. Any roundtrip within 12 months of the expiration of a multi-fund block will initiate another multi-fund block. Repeat offenders may be subject to long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's control at any time. In addition to enforcing these roundtrip limitations, the fund may in its discretion restrict, reject, or cancel any purchases or exchanges that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the management of the fund or otherwise not be in the fund's interests.
Exceptions
The following transactions are exempt from the fund's excessive trading policy described above: (i) transactions of $1,000 or less, (ii) systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, (iii) mandatory retirement distributions, and (iv) transactions initiated by a plan sponsor or sponsors of certain employee benefit plans or other related accounts. In addition, the fund's excessive trading policy does not apply to transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund, qualified fund of fund(s), or other strategy funds. A qualified fund of fund(s) is a mutual fund, qualified tuition program, or other strategy fund consisting of qualified plan assets that either applies the Fidelity fund's excessive trading policies to shareholders at the fund of fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund of fund(s) has an investment strategy coupled with policies designed to control frequent trading that are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity fund's Treasurer.
Omnibus Accounts
Omnibus accounts, in which shares are held in the name of an intermediary on behalf of multiple investors, are a common form of holding shares among retirement plans and financial intermediaries such as brokers, advisers, and third-party administrators. Individual trades in omnibus accounts are often not disclosed to the fund, making it difficult to determine whether a particular shareholder is engaging in excessive trading. Excessive trading in omnibus accounts is likely to go undetected by the fund and may increase costs to the fund and disrupt its portfolio management.
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Under policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, intermediaries will be permitted to apply the fund's excessive trading policy (described above), or their own excessive trading policy if approved by FMR. In these cases, the fund will typically not request or receive individual account data but will rely on the intermediary to monitor trading activity in good faith in accordance with its or the fund's policies. Reliance on intermediaries increases the risk that excessive trading may go undetected. For other intermediaries, the fund will generally monitor trading activity at the omnibus account level to attempt to identify disruptive trades. The fund may request transaction information, as frequently as daily, from any intermediary at any time, and may apply the fund's policy to transactions that exceed thresholds established by the Board of Trustees. The fund may prohibit purchases of fund shares by an intermediary or by some or all of any intermediary's clients. There is no assurance that FMR will request data with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.
If you purchase or sell fund shares through a financial intermediary, you may wish to contact the intermediary to determine the policies applicable to your account.
Retirement Plans
For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges count toward the roundtrip limits. Employer-sponsored retirement plan participants whose activity triggers a purchase or exchange block will be permitted one trade every calendar quarter. In the event of a block, employer and participant contributions and loan repayments by the participant may still be invested in the fund.
Qualified Wrap Programs
The fund will monitor aggregate trading activity of adviser transactions to attempt to identify excessive trading in qualified wrap programs, as defined below. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will lose its qualified status. Adviser transactions will not be matched with client-directed transactions unless the wrap program ceases to be a qualified wrap program (but all client-directed transactions will be subject to the fund's excessive trading policy). A qualified wrap program is: (i) a program whose adviser certifies that it has investment discretion over $100 million or more in client assets invested in mutual funds at the time of the certification, (ii) a program in which the adviser directs transactions in the accounts participating in the program in concert with changes in a model portfolio, and (iii) managed by an adviser who agrees to give FMR sufficient information to permit FMR to identify the individual accounts in the wrap program.
Prospectus
Other Information about the Excessive Trading Policy
The fund reserves the right at any time to restrict purchases or exchanges or impose conditions that are more restrictive on excessive or disruptive trading than those stated in this prospectus. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. The fund reserves the right to modify its policies at any time without prior notice.
The fund does not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except to the extent permitted by the policies described above.
As described in "Valuing Shares," the fund also uses fair value pricing to help reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance that the fund's excessive trading policy will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter excessive or disruptive trading.
Buying Shares
The price to buy one share of the fund is its NAV. The fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.
Your shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after your investment is received in proper form.
The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
There is no minimum balance or purchase minimum for investments through Portfolio Advisory Services, a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, certain Fidelity retirement accounts funded through salary deduction, or fund positions opened with the proceeds of distributions from such retirement accounts or from a Fidelity systematic withdrawal service. In addition, the fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.
The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees the fund or Fidelity has incurred.
Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when fund shares are priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or losses.
Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.
Selling Shares
The price to sell one share of the fund is its NAV.
Your shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.
The fund has authorized certain intermediaries to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary. Orders by funds of funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager will be treated as received by the fund at the same time that the corresponding orders are received in proper form by the funds of funds.
A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and submit your request to Fidelity by mail, Fidelity may require that your request be made in writing and include a signature guarantee in certain circumstances, such as:
- When you wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
- When the address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 days or you are requesting that a check be mailed to an address different than the record address;
- When you are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
- In certain situations when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity mutual fund account with a different registration.
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.
When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:
- If you are selling some but not all of your shares, keep your fund balance above the required minimum to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
- Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected.
Prospectus
- Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
- Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.
- You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
- If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and your redemption check remains uncashed for more than one year, the check may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.
- Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.
However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:
- The exchange limit may be modified for accounts held by certain institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and Department of Labor regulations. See your retirement plan materials for further information.
- The fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, the fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
- Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
- The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
- Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
- If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), there may be additional requirements.
- Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.
The fund may terminate or modify exchange privileges in the future.
Other funds may have different exchange restrictions and minimums, and may impose redemption fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity.

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000 in shares. It is expected that fund balances will be valued after November 1 but prior to December 31 of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use certain regular investment plans.
If your fund balance falls below $2,000 worth of shares ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA and Keogh accounts, and Non-Fidelity Prototype Retirement accounts) for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV, and you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you after providing you with at least 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. Your shares will be sold at the NAV on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.
Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions
The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December and January.
Distribution Options
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for shares of the fund:
1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.
2. Income-Earned Option. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Your dividends will be paid in cash.
3. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions will be paid in cash.
4. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund, or paid in cash.
If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
If your dividend check(s) remains uncashed for more than six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the NAV next calculated on the day of the investment.
As with any investment, your investment in the fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.
Taxes on distributions. Distributions you receive from the fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain of the fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of the fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. A percentage of certain distributions of dividends may qualify for taxation at long-term capital gains rates (provided certain holding period requirements are met).
Prospectus
If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be "buying a dividend" by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution.
Any taxable distributions you receive from the fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option.
Taxes on transactions. Your redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment in the fund generally is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive when you sell them.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed 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.
The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well the fund has performed relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
Management fee | = | Basic fee | +/- | Performance adjustment |
The basic fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.
Prospectus
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For November 2011, the group fee rate was 0.26%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.
The basic fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, was 0.56% of the fund's average net assets.
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period the fund's performance to that of the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the fund, the fund's investment performance will be based on the performance of Institutional Class of the fund.
The performance period is the most recent 36 month period.
The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.
The total management fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, was 0.36% of the fund's average net assets. Because the fund's management fee rate may fluctuate, the fund's management fee may be higher or lower in the future.
FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR H.K., and FMR Japan for providing sub-advisory services.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for the fund is available in the fund's annual report for the fiscal period ended November 30, 2011.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for, or waive, management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Reimbursement or waiver arrangements can decrease expenses and boost performance.
The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.
FDC distributes the fund's shares.
Intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, administrators, and service-providers (who may be affiliated with FMR or FDC), may receive from FMR, FDC, and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. These payments are described in more detail in this section and in the SAI.

Fund Services - continued
The fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) with respect to its shares that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, service-providers, and administrators, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for shares of the fund.
If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a class's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC.

Proposal 2
Fidelity Advisor Series I: Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund
Fidelity Devonshire Trust: Fidelity Mid Cap Growth Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect balances as of May 31, 2012 and the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations reflect results for the twelve months ended May 31, 2012. The pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of Fidelity Mid Cap Growth Fund (the "Acquired Fund") into Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), the accounting survivor, as if the merger had occurred on the first day of the year presented (June 1, 2011). The pro forma financial statements were derived from financial statements prepared for the Acquiring Fund and Acquired Funds in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus for the Fidelity Mid Cap Growth Fund and Fidelity Advisor Stock Selector Mid Cap Fund. Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund have substantially the same accounting policies which are detailed in the reports incorporated by reference in the SAI. The reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction with no gain or loss recognized by the funds or their shareholders.
2. Security Valuation:
Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows.
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 and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. 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 or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when significant market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities are used and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted equity securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For U.S. government and government agency obligations pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price or official closing price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
3. Merger Costs:
Fidelity Mid Cap Growth Fund will bear the cost of the Reorganization, including professional fees, expenses associated with the filing of registration statements, and the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting, which will consist principally of printing and mailing prospectuses and Proxy Statement, together with the cost of any supplementary solicitation. The estimated one time expenses related to the Reorganization for Fidelity Mid Cap Growth Fund is $14,000.
4. Share Transactions:
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Acquiring Fund which would have been issued on May 31, 2012 in connection with the proposed merger. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund would become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund receiving shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund equal to the value of their holdings in the Acquired Fund. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued was calculated based on the May 31, 2012 net assets of the Acquired Fund and the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as follows:
| Fidelity Mid Cap Growth Class A |
Acquired Fund pre-merger shares | 799,042 |
Acquired Fund net assets (1) | $9,329,443 |
Net asset value per share Acquiring Fund | $20.33 |

PART C. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 15. Indemnification
Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FIIOC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant, or from FIIOC's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
