A Annualized B Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. C Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown. D Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. E Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $.04 per share. F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund. G Effective November 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change. H Amount represents less than $.01 per share. I Three months ended October 31.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Global Balanced Fund, Fidelity International Growth & Income Fund, Fidelity Diversified International Fund, Fidelity Aggressive International Fund, Fidelity Overseas Fund, and Fidelity Worldwide Fund (the funds) are funds of Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Certain funds' investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. Certain funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The funds estimate the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Overseas and Diversified International, non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of each applicable fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and futures transactions.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows for each fund:
| Cost for Federal Income Tax Purposes | Unrealized Appreciation | Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) |
Global Balanced | $ 112,829,086 | $ 20,174,614 | $ (1,814,603) | $ 18,360,011 |
International Growth & Income | 1,682,534,212 | 268,760,089 | (75,880,849) | 192,879,240 |
Diversified International | 14,129,044,163 | 3,326,737,356 | (303,753,539) | 3,022,983,817 |
Aggressive International | 670,993,543 | 67,929,058 | (25,816,200) | 42,112,858 |
Overseas | 3,976,618,629 | 590,820,219 | (249,090,531) | 341,729,688 |
Worldwide | 967,952,821 | 108,161,014 | (46,317,816) | 61,843,198 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in each fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the funds and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Futures Contracts. Certain funds may use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. Certain funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
Semiannual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the funds with investment management related services for which the funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee for Diversified International, Aggressive International, Overseas and Worldwide is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum ±.20% of each applicable fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on each fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. Worldwide's performance adjustment took effect in March 2002. Subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. For the period, each fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets, including the performance adjustment, if applicable was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Global Balanced | .45% | .28% | .73% |
International Growth & Income | .45% | .28% | .72% |
Diversified International | .45% | .28% | .83% |
Aggressive International | .45% | .28% | .83% |
Overseas | .45% | .28% | .71% |
Worldwide | .45% | .28% | .88% |
Sales Load. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, receives a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption of the fund shares of International Growth & Income purchased prior to October 12, 1990. For the period, FDC retained $1,296 from International Growth & Income.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Global Balanced | .26% | | |
International Growth & Income | .26% | |
Diversified International | .26% | |
Aggressive International | .28% | |
Overseas | .29% | |
Worldwide | .28% | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains each fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from the Central Funds are noted in the table below:
| Income Distributions | |
Global Balanced | $ 62,101 | |
International Growth & Income | 287,821 | |
Diversified International | 3,343,961 | |
Aggressive International | 257,576 | |
Overseas | 1,269,778 | |
Worldwide | 250,474 | |
Brokerage Commissions. Certain funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additional information regarding security lending is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain funds provided services to these funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Brokerage Service Arrangements | Custody expense reduction | Transfer Agent expense reduction |
| | | |
Global Balanced | $ 5,247 | $ 6,004 | $ 115 |

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Canada Fund, Fidelity China Region Fund, Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Europe Fund, Fidelity Europe Capital Appreciation Fund, Fidelity Japan Fund, Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund, Fidelity Latin America Fund, Fidelity Nordic Fund, Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund and Fidelity Southeast Asia Fund (the funds) are funds of Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Certain funds' investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. Certain funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards, expiring capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in Canada, China Region, Emerging Markets, Japan, Japan Smaller Companies, Latin America, Nordic, Pacific Basin and Southeast Asia less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. Shares held in Europe and Europe Capital Appreciation less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the funds and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. Certain funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the funds with investment management related services for which the funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee for Canada, Europe, Europe Capital Appreciation, Japan, Pacific Basin, and Southeast Asia is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum ±.20% of each applicable fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on each fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, each fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets, including the performance adjustment, if applicable was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Canada | .45% | .28% | .81% |
China Region | .45% | .28% | .73% |
Emerging Markets | .45% | .28% | .72% |
Europe | .45% | .28% | .75% |
Europe Capital Appreciation | .45% | .28% | .92% |
Japan | .45% | .28% | .64% |
Japan Smaller Companies | .45% | .28% | .72% |
Latin America | .45% | .28% | .73% |
Nordic | .45% | .28% | .72% |
Pacific Basin | .45% | .28% | .76% |
Southeast Asia | .45% | .28% | .74% |
Sales Load. Shares of Canada, Europe, and Pacific Basin purchased prior to October 12, 1990, are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption. For the period, sales charge amounts retained by Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Canada | $ 199 | |
Europe | 10,488 | |
Pacific Basin | 2,135 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Canada | .27% | | |
China Region | .28% | |
Emerging Markets | .29% | |
Europe | .26% | |
Europe Capital Appreciation | .25% | |
Japan | .26% | |
Japan Smaller Companies | .21% | |
Latin America | .28% | |
Nordic | .32% | |
Pacific Basin | .29% | |
Southeast Asia | .25% | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains each fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from the Central Funds are noted in the table below:
| Income Distributions |
Canada | $ 38,410 |
China Region | 68,247 |
Emerging Markets | 122,852 |

Latin America | 25,337 |
Nordic | 11,166 |
Pacific Basin | 48,279 |
Southeast Asia | 38,662 |
Brokerage Commissions. Certain funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding each applicable fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additional information regarding security lending is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain funds provided services to these funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.
With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:
First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.
Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.
For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, International Small Cap (the original class), and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Semiannual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income and realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 186,615,114 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (34,644,945) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 151,970,169 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,138,843,670 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .92% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 6,632 | $ 253 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 19,674 | 397 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 11,371 | 8,719 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 18,591 | 12,804 |
| | | $ 56,268 | $ 22,173 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges
Semiannual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load - continued
depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 15,078 |
Class T | 7,519 |
Class B* | 202 |
Class C* | 1,552 |
| $ 24,351 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for International Small Cap. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for International Small Cap shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 10,233 | .38* |
Class T | 13,228 | .33* |
Class B | 5,668 | .49* |
Class C | 6,164 | .33* |
International Small Cap | 931,330 | .21* |
Institutional Class | 1,362 | .21* |
| $ 967,985 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $267,110 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $157,521 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $16.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.
With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:
First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.
Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.
For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations

Security Valuation - continued
are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income and realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 186,615,114 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (34,644,945) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 151,970,169 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,138,843,670 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .92% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 6,632 | $ 253 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 19,674 | 397 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 11,371 | 8,719 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 18,591 | 12,804 |
| | | $ 56,268 | $ 22,173 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load - continued
depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 15,078 |
Class T | 7,519 |
Class B* | 202 |
Class C* | 1,552 |
| $ 24,351 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for International Small Cap. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for International Small Cap shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 10,233 | .38* |
Class T | 13,228 | .33* |
Class B | 5,668 | .49* |

International Small Cap | 931,330 | .21* |
Institutional Class | 1,362 | .21* |
| $ 967,985 | |
* Annualized

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $267,110 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $157,521 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $16.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.
With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:
First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.
Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.
For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, International Small Cap (the original class), and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Semiannual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income and realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 186,615,114 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (34,644,945) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 151,970,169 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,138,843,670 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the investment performance of the asset-weighted return of all classes as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .92% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 6,632 | $ 253 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 19,674 | 397 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 11,371 | 8,719 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 18,591 | 12,804 |
| | | $ 56,268 | $ 22,173 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges
Semiannual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load - continued
depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 15,078 |
Class T | 7,519 |
Class B* | 202 |
Class C* | 1,552 |
| $ 24,351 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund, except for International Small Cap. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer agent for International Small Cap shares. FIIOC and FSC receive account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC and FSC pay for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC or FSC were as follows:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 10,233 | .38* |
Class T | 13,228 | .33* |
Class B | 5,668 | .49* |
Class C | 6,164 | .33* |
International Small Cap | 931,330 | .21* |
Institutional Class | 1,362 | .21* |
| $ 967,985 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $267,110 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $157,521 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $16.
