Important Proxy Materials
PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE NOW!
Fidelity® Nordic Fund
Dear Shareholder:
I am writing to let you know that a special meeting of shareholders of Fidelity® Nordic Fund will be held on May 16, 2007. The purpose of the meeting is to vote on an important proposal to merge Fidelity Nordic Fund into Fidelity Europe Fund. As a shareholder, you have the opportunity to voice your opinion on the matters that affect your fund. This package contains information about the proposal and the materials to use when casting your vote.
The fund's Board of Trustees has carefully reviewed the proposed merger and has unanimously recommended that the merger proposal be presented to shareholders. The Trustees, most of whom are not affiliated with Fidelity, are responsible for protecting your interests as a shareholder. The Trustees have determined that the proposed merger is in the best interests of shareholders; however the final decision is up to you.
The proposed merger would provide Nordic shareholders with the opportunity to invest in a larger, more diversified fund with the flexibility to invest across the entire European continent, including the Nordic region. As you know, in anticipation of the proposed merger, Fidelity Nordic Fund was closed to new investments at the close of business on March 14, 2007. We have attached a Q&A to assist you in understanding the proposal. The enclosed proxy statement includes a detailed description of the proposed merger.
Please read the enclosed materials and cast your vote on the proxy card(s). You are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of the fund on the record date (March 19, 2006). Please vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holding may be.
Voting is quick and easy. Everything you need is enclosed. To cast your vote, simply complete the proxy card(s) enclosed in this package. Be sure to sign the card(s) before mailing it in the postage-paid envelope. You may also vote your shares by touch--tone telephone or through the Internet. Simply call the toll--free number or visit the web site indicated on your proxy card(s), enter the control number found on the card(s), and follow the recorded or online instructions.
If you have any questions before you vote, please call Fidelity at 1-800-544-3198. We'll be glad to help you get your vote in quickly. Thank you for your participation in this important initiative.
Sincerely,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposal
Please read the full text of the proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposal to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.
What am I being asked to vote on?
You are being asked to vote on a merger between Fidelity Nordic Fund (Nordic Fund) and Fidelity Europe Fund (Europe Fund), another fund of the trust. Specifically, you are being asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) that provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Nordic Fund to Europe Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Europe Fund and the assumption by Europe Fund of Nordic Fund's liabilities. Europe Fund's shares then will be distributed to shareholders of Nordic Fund in liquidation of Nordic Fund.
Has the fund's Board of Trustees approved the merger?
Yes. The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the proposal and recommends that you vote to approve it.
What are the reasons for and advantages of the proposed merger?
The Nordic market tends to be more volatile and less diversified than developed Europe as a whole, and Fidelity believes the region's characteristics have changed sufficiently to no longer warrant a separate fund focused on the region. The proposed merger would provide Nordic shareholders with a larger, more diversified fund that has the flexibility to invest broadly across the entire European continent, including the Nordic region.
Do the funds being merged have similar investment objectives and policies?
The funds have similar investment objectives. Nordic Fund seeks long term growth of capital. Europe Fund seeks growth of capital over the long term. Both funds invest in common stocks and use fundamental analysis as the primary means to select investments. However, Nordic Fund seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish issuers and other investments that are tied economically to the Nordic region, while Europe Fund, by contrast, seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of European (including Nordic) issuers and other investments that are tied economically to Europe as a whole. In addition, Europe Fund does not concentrate its investments in any industry, whereas Nordic Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that accounts for more than 20% of the Nordic market.
Will Europe Fund revise its investment policies if the merger is approved?
FMR does not expect Europe Fund to revise its investment policies as a result of the merger. In addition, FMR does not anticipate significant changes to the fund's management or to entities that provide the fund with services.
Who is the fund manager for the funds?
Both funds are currently managed by the same portfolio manager, Trygve Toraasen, who is expected to continue to manage Europe Fund (including its exposure to the Nordic region) after the merger.
Who bears the expenses associated with the merger?
The outcome of the shareholder vote will determine who pays the expenses related to the merger. If shareholders approve the merger, then the fund will pay all merger-related expenses up to the 1.25% voluntary cap set by FMR. FMR will pay expenses that exceed this voluntary cap. If shareholders do not approve the proposed merger, then all merger-related expenses will be borne by FMR.
How do the expense structures of the funds compare?
Each fund pays its management fee and other expenses separately. The management fees and other expenses of the funds vary from year to year, as a percentage of their respective average net assets. Unlike Nordic Fund, Europe Fund's management fee is subject to a performance adjustment, which either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well Europe Fund has performed relative to the MSCI Europe Index. The total operating expenses (the sum of their respective management fee and other expenses) of the funds for the 12 months ended October 31, 2006 were 1.16% for Europe Fund and 1.14% for Nordic Fund. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Nordic Fund to the extent that total operating expenses exceed 1.25%.
In addition, each fund has a redemption fee. Nordic Fund charges a redemption fee of 1.50% on shares held less than 90 days. Europe Fund charges a 1.00% redemption fee on shares held for less than 30 days.
If the merger is approved by shareholders, the combined fund will retain Europe Fund's expense structure, requiring payment of a management fee and other operating expenses, and applying a performance adjustment to the management fee. In addition, the combined fund will retain Europe Fund's 1.00% redemption fee on shares held for less than 30 days.
While Nordic Fund would have paid approximately 0.02% more in total operating expenses over the 12 months ended October 31, 2006 had the merger occurred at the beginning of the period, this difference was attributable primarily to the performance adjustment component of the Europe Fund's management fee. Going forward, Europe Fund may pay a higher or lower management fee than Nordic Fund pays depending on whether Europe Fund outperforms or underperforms, respectively, relative to the MSCI Europe Index. Excluding performance fees, Europe Fund's expense ratio was actually 0.11% lower than Nordic Fund's for the 12 months ended October 31, 2006, mainly due to lower transfer agent and other operating expenses.
How will you determine the number of shares of Europe Fund that I will receive?
As of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date of the merger, the number of shares to be issued will be based on the relative net asset values of each fund at the time of the exchange. The anticipated Closing Date is June 22, 2007.
Is the merger considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?
No. Typically the exchange of shares in a fund merger transaction does not result in a gain or loss for federal or state income tax purposes. In addition, the cost basis and holding period of your Nordic Fund shares are expected to carry over to your new shares in Europe Fund.
What if there are not enough votes to reach quorum by the scheduled shareholder meeting date?
To facilitate receiving a sufficient number of votes, we will need to take further action. D.F.King & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, or Fidelity, may contact you by mail or telephone. Therefore, we encourage shareholders to vote as soon as they review the enclosed proxy materials to avoid additional mailings or telephone calls.
If there are not sufficient votes to approve your fund's proposal by the time of your Shareholder Meeting (May 16, 2007), the meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxy votes.
Who is D.F. King & Co., Inc.?
D.F. King is a third party proxy vendor that Fidelity hires to call shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached - which is a majority of the shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the shareholder meeting. If quorum is not attained, the meeting must adjourn to a future date. Fidelity attempts to reach shareholders via multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote. As the meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to clients who have not yet voted their shares so that the shareholder meeting does not have to be postponed.
Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to make a call to you to solicit your vote.
How many votes am I entitled to cast?
As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of the fund on the record date. The record date is March 19, 2007.
How do I vote my shares?
You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also vote by touch-tone telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions. In addition, you may vote through the internet by visiting www.proxyweb.com/proxy and following the on-line instructions. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Fidelity at 1-800-544-3198.
How do I sign the proxy card?
Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names appear on the account registration shown on the card.
Joint Accounts: Either owner may sign, but the name of the person signing should conform exactly to a name shown in the registration.
All Other Accounts: The person signing must indicate his or her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should sign, "Ann B. Collins, Trustee."

The outcome of the shareholder vote will determine who pays the expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations. If shareholders approve the Reorganization, Nordic Fund will pay the expenses, provided that if expenses exceed Nordic Fund's existing voluntary expense cap of 1.25%, the expenses exceeding Nordic Fund's voluntary expense cap will be paid by FMR.

All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a properly executed 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.
If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting 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 of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting 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 with respect to each item, unless directed to vote AGAINST the item, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment with respect to that item. Please visit www.fidelity.com/goto/proxies to determine the status of this scheduled Shareholder Meeting.
On October 31, 2006 there were 9,525,813 and 95,319,221 shares issued and outstanding for Nordic Fund and Europe Fund, respectively.
As of October 31, 2006, 61.13% of Europe Fund's total outstanding shares was held by FMR affiliates. FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR affiliates. By virtue of his ownership interest in FMR Corp., Mr. Edward C. Johnson 3d, Trustee, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of these shares. As of the above date with the exception of Mr. Johnson 3d's deemed ownership of Europe Fund's shares, the Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and officers of Europe Fund and Nordic Fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of each fund's total outstanding shares.
As of October 31, 2006, the following owned beneficially 5% or more of Europe Fund's outstanding shares:
Fidelity Freedom 2020 Fund, Boston, MA (18.91%); Fidelity Freedom 2030 Fund, Boston, MA (14.08%); Fidelity Freedom 2010 Fund, Boston, MA (9.98%); Fidelity Freedom 2040 Fund, Boston, MA (7.11%).
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 the 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.
Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each such shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value held on that date.
Only one copy of this Proxy Statement may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household is a fund shareholder of record. If you need additional copies of this Proxy Statement, please contact Fidelity at 1-800-544-3198.

VOTE REQUIRED: Approval of the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of Nordic Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 the 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 the proposal.
SYNOPSIS
The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, in the Agreement, and in the Prospectus of Nordic Fund and Europe Fund, which are incorporated herein by reference. Shareholders should read the entire Proxy Statement and the Prospectus of Europe Fund carefully for more complete information.
The Proposed Reorganization
The Board of Trustees of the trust is recommending that Nordic Fund merge with and into Europe Fund. Under the terms of the Agreement, Europe Fund would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of Nordic Fund in exchange for shares of Europe Fund. If the Reorganization is approved and consummated, Nordic Fund will cease to exist and current shareholders of the fund will receive shares of Europe Fund with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their fund shares on the Closing Date (defined below). The Reorganization is currently scheduled to take place as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on June 22, 2007, or such other time and date as the parties may agree.
Investment Objectives and Policies
The following summarizes the investment objective and policy differences of each fund:
The funds have similar investment objectives. Nordic Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Europe Fund seeks growth of capital over the long-term.
Both funds have similar investment strategies. Each fund normally invests primarily in common stocks and uses fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.
The main difference between Nordic Fund and Europe Fund is the number of countries in which each fund normally invests. Nordic Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish issuers and other investments that are tied economically to the Nordic region. Europe Fund, by contrast, normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of European issuers and other investments that are tied economically to Europe as a whole. This includes all member countries of the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, and certain European countries with low to middle income economies as classified by the World Bank.
In addition, Europe Fund does not concentrate its assets (i.e., invest more than 25%) in any industry, while Nordic Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that accounts for more than 20% of the Nordic market.
Each fund uses a different benchmark index to measure performance. Nordic Fund uses the Financial Times-Stock Exchange (FTSE) World Nordic Index, whereas Europe Fund compares its performance against the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe Index.
The following compares and contrasts certain investment policies of the funds:
Diversification. Each fund is a diversified fund. As a matter of fundamental policy, each fund may not with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.
Borrowing. As a matter of fundamental policy, each fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets less liabilities. For these purposes, each fund may borrow money from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or an affiliate and may engage in reverse repurchase agreements.
Loans. Each fund does not currently intend to lend assets, other than securities, to other parties, except by lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to other funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. As a matter of fundamental policy, each fund may not lend more than 33 1/3% of its total assets to other parties. These limitations do not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.
Concentration. The funds have different policies regarding concentration of investments. Nordic Fund may invest up to 35% of the fund's total assets in any industry that accounts for more than 20% of the Nordic market as a whole, as measured by an index determined by FMR to be an appropriate measure of the Nordic market. As a matter of fundamental policy, however, Europe Fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.
Except as noted above, the funds are subject to substantially similar investment policies and restrictions, including fundamental investment restrictions. For more information about the risks and restrictions associated with these policies, see each fund's Prospectus, and for a more detailed discussion of the funds' investments, see their Statement of Additional Information, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Expense Structures and Investment Minimums
Operating Expenses.
The following summarizes the expense structures of Nordic Fund and Europe Fund:
Each fund pays its management fees and other expenses separately. Nordic Fund's management fee consists of a basic fee, but unlike Europe Fund, does not have a performance adjustment component. Nordic Fund's management 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 mutual funds managed by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52% of its average net assets, and it drops as total assets under management increase. The individual fund fee rate for the fund is 0.45% of its average net assets.
Europe Fund pays a management fee which 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 Europe Fund has performed relative to the MSCI Europe 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 mutual funds managed by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52% of its average net assets, and it drops as total assets under management increase. The individual fund fee rate for the fund is 0.45% of its average net assets.
Due to the performance adjustment component of its management fee, Europe Fund may pay higher or lower management fees to FMR than Nordic Fund. If Europe Fund outperforms the MSCI Europe Index over the relevant performance period, then Europe Fund will pay a higher management fee to FMR than Nordic Fund. In contrast, if Europe Fund underperforms the MSCI Europe Index, over the relevant performance period, then Europe Fund will pay a lower management fee to FMR than Nordic Fund.
In addition, FMR has voluntarily agreed to limit Nordic Fund's total operating expenses to 1.25% of its average net assets. FMR may remove this expense limitation at any time. In contrast, FMR has not agreed to limit the total operating expenses of Europe Fund.
Nordic Fund imposes a redemption fee of 1.50% on shares held less than 90 days. Europe Fund imposes a redemption fee of 1.00% on shares held less than 30 days.
If shareholders approve the Reorganization, the combined fund will retain the expense structure of Europe Fund, including redemption fee rate and holding period, and the performance fee adjustment. The section below entitled "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" provides additional details on the expenses for each fund currently, and the estimated expenses for the combined fund, for the 12 months ended October 31, 2006.
Investment Minimums.
The fund's have identical investment minimums. Each fund requires a minimum initial investment of $2,500, a minimum additional investment of $250, and a minimum account balance of $2,000.

Examples of Effect of Fund Expenses
The following table illustrates the expenses on a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each fund under the current and pro forma (combined fund) expenses calculated at the rates stated above, assuming a 5% annual return. These tables illustrate how much a shareholder would pay in total expenses if a shareholder sells all of his/her shares at the end of each time period indicated.
| Nordic Fund | Europe Fund |
1 year | $ 116 | $ 118 |
3 years | $ 362 | $ 368 |
5 years | $ 628 | $ 638 |
10 years | $ 1,386 | $ 1,409 |

These examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested and that the percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund 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.

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. 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. 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.

Forms of Organization
Nordic Fund and Europe Fund are diversified funds of the trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on April 20, 1984. The trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Because the funds are series of the same Massachusetts business trust, organized under the same Declaration of Trust, the rights of the security holders of Nordic Fund under state law and the governing documents are expected to remain unchanged after the Reorganization. For more information regarding shareholder rights, refer to the section of the funds' Statement of Additional Information called "Description of the Trust."
Operations of Europe Fund Following the Reorganization
FMR does not expect Europe Fund to revise its investment policies as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, FMR does not anticipate significant changes to the fund'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 Europe Fund in their current capacities. Trygve Toraasen, who is currently the portfolio manager of each fund, is expected to continue to be responsible for portfolio management of the surviving fund after the Reorganization.
All of the current investments of Nordic Fund are permissible investments for Europe Fund. Transaction costs associated with portfolio adjustments, if any, that occur between shareholder approval and the Closing Date will be borne by the fund that incurs them. Transaction costs associated with such adjustments that occur after the Closing Date will be borne by Europe Fund.
Purchases and Redemptions
The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's net asset value (NAV). Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge. Each fund's shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form. Each fund's NAV is calculated as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
To the extent that a 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 a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
The price to sell one share of each fund is the fund's NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable.
For Nordic Fund, a 1.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount for shares held less than 90 days. For Europe Fund, a 1.00% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount for shares held less than 30 days.
On March 14, 2007, Nordic Fund closed to new accounts pending the Reorganization. Nordic Fund shareholders as of that date can continue to purchase shares of the fund. Shareholders of each fund may redeem shares through the Closing Date of the Reorganization. If the Reorganization is approved, the purchase and redemption policies of the combined fund will remain unchanged.
Refer to the funds' Prospectus for more information regarding how to buy and redeem shares.
Exchanges
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund. The exchange privilege currently being offered by Nordic Fund and Europe Fund is the same and is not expected to change after the Reorganization.
For additional information regarding exchanges for a fund, see its Prospectus.
Management of the Funds
FMR is each fund's manager. The address of FMR is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. As of March 29, 2006, FMR had approximately $9.8 billion in discretionary assets under management. As the manager, FMR has overall responsibility for directing each fund's investments and handling its business affairs.
Trygve Toraasen is vice president and manager of Europe Fund and Nordic Fund, which he has managed since January 2006 and June 1998, respectively. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1994, Mr. Toraasen has worked as a research analyst and manager.
The funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated by reference herein, provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Mr. Toraasen.
Dividends and Other Distributions
Each fund distributes substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains to shareholders each year. Each fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December. On or before the Closing Date, Nordic Fund may declare additional dividends or other distributions in order to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gain.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization
Each fund will receive an opinion of its counsel, Dechert LLP, that the Reorganization will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized by the funds or their shareholders as a result of the Reorganization. Please see the section entitled "Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Proposal for more information.
THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION BETWEEN NORDIC FUND AND EUROPE FUND.
The Proposal
Shareholders of Nordic Fund are being asked to approve the Agreement. By approving the Agreement, shareholders are approving the merger of Nordic Fund with and into Europe Fund.
Principal Investment Risks
Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile, and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
Many factors can affect each fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates Nordic Fund's and Europe Fund's investments in the Nordic region and Europe, respectively, each fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political, and economic conditions within the Nordic region and Europe, respectively, and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds. When shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than what was paid for them, which means that you could lose money.
The Nordic economies are dependent on the export of natural resources and natural resource products. Efforts to comply with the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) restrictions by Finland and Sweden may result in reduced government spending and higher unemployment. Denmark has elected not to join the final stage of the EMU and Norway has elected not to join both the European Union (EU) and the EMU and, as a result, these countries may have more flexibility to pursue different fiscal and economic goals.
Europe includes both developed and emerging markets. Most developed countries in Western Europe are members of the EU, and many are also members of the EMU. European countries can be significantly affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls that the EMU imposes on its members or requires candidates for EMU membership to comply with. Unemployment in Europe has historically been higher than in the United States. Eastern European countries generally continue to move toward market economies.
For more information about the principal investment risks of Nordic Fund and Europe Fund, please see the funds' Prospectus.
Reorganization Plan
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; 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) Europe Fund acquiring as of the Closing Date all of the assets of Nordic Fund in exchange solely for shares of Europe Fund and the assumption by Europe Fund of Nordic Fund's liabilities; and (b) the distribution of shares of Europe Fund to the shareholders of Nordic Fund in complete liquidation and termination of Nordic Fund as provided for in the Agreement.
The value of Nordic Fund's assets to be acquired by Europe Fund and the amount of its liabilities to be assumed by Europe Fund will be determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in Nordic Fund's then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The NAV of a share of Europe Fund 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, Europe Fund will deliver to Nordic Fund, and Nordic Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record, shares of Europe Fund, so that each Nordic Fund shareholder will receive the number of full and fractional shares of Europe Fund equal in value to the aggregate NAV of shares of Nordic Fund held by such shareholder on the Closing Date; Nordic Fund will be liquidated as soon as practicable thereafter. Each Nordic Fund shareholder's account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Europe Fund due that shareholder.
Accordingly, immediately after the Reorganization, each former Nordic Fund shareholder will own shares of Europe Fund equal to the aggregate NAV of that shareholder's shares of Nordic Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization. The NAV per share of Europe Fund 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 Europe Fund in a name other than that of the registered holder of the shares on the books of Nordic Fund 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 Nordic Fund is and will continue to be its responsibility up to and including the Closing Date and such later date on which Nordic Fund is liquidated.
The outcome of the shareholder vote will determine who pays the expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations. If shareholders approve the Reorganization, Nordic Fund will pay the expenses provided that if expenses exceed Nordic Fund's existing voluntary expense cap of 1.25%, the expenses exceeding Nordic Fund's voluntary expense cap will be paid by FMR. If shareholders do not approve the Reorganization, all expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations will be paid by FMR. Brokerage firms and others will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares.
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 Nordic Fund's shareholders' interests may be made subsequent to the Meeting.
Reasons for the Reorganization
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of each fund has 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 shareholders of either fund. The Board has unanimously approved the Agreement and the Reorganization and recommends that Nordic Fund shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization by approving the Agreement.
In considering the Reorganization, the Board considered a number of factors, including the following:
(1) the compatibility of the funds' investment objectives and policies;
(2) various potential shareholder benefits of the Reorganization;
(3) the historical performance of the funds;
(4) the relative expense ratios 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 benefits to FMR and its affiliates.
FMR recommended the Reorganization to the Board at a meeting of the Board on December 14, 2006.
The Board noted that the funds already have the same manager (Trygve Toraasen) and have similar objectives.
In recommending the Reorganization, FMR advised the Board that the Reorganization would provide Nordic Fund shareholders with the opportunity to invest in a larger, more diversified fund, with a less volatile benchmark index. Nordic Fund's benchmark, the FTSE World Nordic Index, is a market capitalization-weighted index of stocks traded in various Scandinavian markets, designed to measure equity performance in the Scandinavian markets. Europe Fund's benchmark, MSCI Europe Index, is a market capitalization-weighted index of equity securities of companies domiciled in various European countries. As of November 30, 2006, the Nordic region made up approximately 8% of the European market, as represented by the MSCI Europe Index.
The Board considered that the Nordic market, as represented by the FTSE World Nordic Index, has exhibited greater volatility than Europe as a whole over the past 10 years. The Board also considered that the FTSE World Nordic Index tends to be highly concentrated, with the top ten constituents accounting for 50% to 60% of the total market capitalization over the past 10 years. The Nordic Fund's holdings have been similarly concentrated. In comparison, the top 10 constituents of the MSCI Europe Index have accounted for 20% to 27% over the same period.
In recommending the Reorganization, FMR acknowledged that Nordic Fund's performance has been strong, but also noted that the historical performance of the Europe and Nordic markets has been highly correlated. In FMR's view, the Nordic region has not provided significant diversification from developed Europe as a whole. The Board considered, too, that the Nordic region's relative outperformance (relative to Europe as a whole) has largely been attributable to securities of global technology and energy companies, whose economic fortunes are not closely related to the Nordic region. The Board determined that Nordic Fund shareholders would benefit from investing in the larger, more diversified Europe Fund.
While the pro forma expenses show that the Nordic Fund would have paid approximately 0.02% more in total operating expenses over the 12 months ended October 31, 2006 had the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the period, FMR advised the Board that this difference was attributable primarily to the performance adjustment component of the Europe Fund's management fee. While noting that the Europe Fund may pay a higher management fee to FMR than the Nordic Fund in times where the Europe Fund outperforms relative to the MSCI Europe Index, the Board considered that the Europe Fund may also pay a lower management fee to FMR than the Nordic Fund in times where the Europe Fund underperforms relative to the MSCI Europe Index. In addition, FMR advised the Board that Europe Fund's expense ratio, excluding performance fees, was actually 0.11% lower than Nordic Fund's for the 12 months ended October 31, 2006, mainly due to lower transfer agent and other operating expenses. The Board considered that the Nordic Fund's shareholders may benefit from the lower transfer agent and other operating expenses of the Europe Fund.

Fund | Average Assets ($M) | Basic Fee | Performance Adjustment | Total Management Fee | TA and Other Operating Expenses* | Total Expenses | Total Expenses Excluding Performance Fees |

Europe Fund | $3,529 | 0.71% | 0.13% | 0.84% | 0.32% | 1.16% | 1.03% |
*Excluding interest and brokerage credits.
The Board also considered the proposed Reorganization in the context of the general goal of offering funds that can be used to build a diversified portfolio in conjunction with effective asset allocation tools. The Board considered FMR's belief that Nordic Fund does not fit within the broader context of an investor's asset allocation. There is no category of single-country Europe mutual funds that complement the Nordic Fund in a "building block" context, nor is FMR aware of any regularly published, broadly accessible research on the expected returns and correlations of the Nordic region to other asset classes that would be useful in making an asset allocation to this region. In FMR's view, Nordic Fund represents too close a fit to Europe to offer any distinctive characteristics that would justify maintaining Nordic Fund in addition to Europe Fund.
Finally, the Board considered that if Nordic Fund shareholders do not approve the Reorganization, FMR will pay all costs associated with the Reorganization. If Nordic Fund shareholders vote in favor of the Reorganization, Nordic Fund will pay expenses (up to Nordic Fund's expense limitation) in connection with the Reorganization, including any expenses related to the Proxy Statement and any solicitation costs, with any Reorganization expenses in excess of that limitation to be paid by FMR.
The Reorganization is intended to permit Nordic Fund shareholders to exchange their investment for an investment in Europe Fund without recognizing gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. By contrast, if a Nordic Fund shareholder were to redeem his or her shares to invest in Europe Fund or another fund, the transaction would likely be a taxable event for the shareholder. After the Reorganization, shareholders may redeem any or all of their Europe Fund shares at net asset value at any time, at which point they would recognize a taxable gain or loss.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
The trust is registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. The Trustees of the trust are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each share of Europe Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the fund, and each such share of Europe Fund is entitled to equal voting, dividend, liquidation, and redemption rights. Each shareholder of the fund is entitled to one vote for each dollar value of net asset value of the fund that shareholder owns. Shares of Europe Fund have no preemptive or conversion rights. The voting and dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the fund's Prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth in the fund's Statement of Additional Information under the heading "Shareholder Liability."
The trust is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders, and the trust currently does not intend to hold regular shareholder meetings. The trust is required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes of electing Trustees if, at any time, 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 the trust may remove a Trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. The Trustees also 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.
Federal Income Tax Considerations
The exchange of Nordic Fund's assets for Europe Fund's shares and the assumption of the liabilities of Nordic Fund by Europe Fund 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 Nordic Fund and Europe Fund, substantially to the effect that:
(i) The acquisition by Europe Fund of all of the assets of Nordic Fund solely in exchange for Europe Fund shares and the assumption by Europe Fund of Nordic Fund's liabilities, followed by the distribution by Nordic Fund of Europe Fund shares to the shareholders of Nordic Fund pursuant to the liquidation of Nordic Fund and constructively in exchange for their Nordic Fund shares, will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Code;
(ii) No gain or loss will be recognized by Nordic Fund upon the transfer of all of its assets to Europe Fund in exchange solely for Europe Fund shares and Europe Fund's assumption of Nordic Fund's liabilities, followed by Nordic Fund's subsequent distribution of those shares to shareholders in liquidation of Nordic Fund;
(iii) No gain or loss will be recognized by Europe Fund upon the receipt of the assets of Nordic Fund in exchange solely for Europe Fund shares and its assumption of Nordic Fund's liabilities;
(iv) The shareholders of Nordic Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the exchange of their Nordic Fund shares solely for Europe Fund shares;
(v) The basis of Nordic Fund's assets in the hands of Europe Fund will be the same as the basis of those assets in the hands of Nordic Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of those assets in the hands of Europe Fund will include the holding period of those assets in the hands of Nordic Fund (except where investment activities of Europe Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);
(vi) The basis of Nordic Fund shareholders in Europe Fund shares will be the same as their basis in Nordic Fund shares to be surrendered in exchange therefor; and
(vii) The holding period of the Europe Fund shares to be received by the Nordic Fund shareholders will include the period during which the Nordic Fund shares to be surrendered in exchange therefor were held, provided such Nordic Fund shares are held as capital assets by those shareholders on the date of the Reorganization.
Shareholders of Nordic Fund should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. Because the foregoing discussion only relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, Nordic Fund's shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

The capitalization table above assumes that the Reorganization was consummated on October 31, 2006, and is for information purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many shares of Europe Fund will be received by shareholders of Nordic Fund on the date the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of Europe Fund that actually will be received on or after such date.
Conclusion
The Agreement and the Reorganization were approved by the Board at a meeting held on December 14, 2006. The Board of Trustees of the trust determined that the proposed Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of each fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of Nordic Fund and Europe Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In the event that the Reorganization is not consummated, Nordic Fund will continue to engage in business as a fund of a registered investment company and the Board of Trustees of the trust will consider other proposals for the reorganization or liquidation of the fund.
The Trustees of Fidelity Investment Trust unanimously recommend approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.

Attachment 1
EXCERPTS FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT OF FIDELITY EUROPE FUND
DATED OCTOBER 31, 2006
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns

Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Europe Fund on October 31, 1996. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI Europe Index performed over the same period.

Comments from Trygve Toraasen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Europe Fund
International equity markets as a whole outpaced their U.S. counterparts for the 12 months ending October 31, 2006 - partly as a result of favorable currency exchanges that boosted returns for U.S. investors. The Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - a gauge of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 27.72% during that time. European markets benefited from solid corporate profit growth and attractive dividends, which helped the MSCI Europe index advance 31.95%. Strong performing Latin American and Asian emerging markets drove the MSCI Emerging Markets index to a lofty 35.42% return. Japan was somewhat of an exception to the generally stellar foreign market performance after struggling in the middle part of the period. Still, its earlier gains helped the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) - a benchmark of the largest and better-established stocks traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange - rise 12.47% overall. Natural-resources-rich Canada also struggled over the final six months as energy prices fell, but the S&P/TSX Composite Index managed a 12-month return of 28.21%.
The fund returned 27.40%, trailing the MSCI Europe index during a 12-month period in which solid profit gains and increased merger-and-acquisition activity provided firm support for European equities. The lagging performance relative to the MSCI index was largely a result of the fund's positions in higher-risk investments during a late-spring market slump. Health care was a particular source of weakness, held back by inopportune stock selection and an overweighting in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and life science group. Disappointing results in materials and industrials also detracted. Conversely, stock selection in energy and an overweighting of financials helped. On a country basis, the fund underperformed in France and the United Kingdom, but did well in Spain and the Netherlands. During a strong 12 months for European equities, a sizable portion of the fund's return came from currency fluctuations. The single biggest detractor was U.K. cruise company Carnival, which was forced to lower prices at the same time that its fuel costs rose. Several selections in health care hurt, including Teva Pharmaceutical, a generic drug company based in Israel that I sold; AstraZeneca, the U.K.-based pharmaceutical firm; and Synthes, a Swiss orthopedic products company that I sold. Two stock and futures exchanges - Euronext of the Netherlands and Deutsche Boerse of Germany - were positive contributors, and I took profits by selling the positions. I also liquidated investments in two Russian energy-related energy investments that I viewed as too risky, despite their good performance. One was a security listed under the name of the London branch of the investment bank UBS, the other was stock in the natural gas company Surgutneftegaz.

Any expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which may be attributable to Europe Fund will be borne by Europe Fund. If shareholders do not approve the Reorganization, FMR will be responsible for all expenses, fees, and other charges in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that otherwise would have been the responsibility of Nordic Fund and/or Europe Fund.

(b) In the event that on the Closing Date: (i) any of the markets for securities held by the Funds is closed to trading, or (ii) trading thereon is restricted, or (iii) trading or the reporting of trading on said market or elsewhere is disrupted, all so that accurate appraisal of the total net asset value of Nordic Fund and the net asset value per share of Europe Fund is impracticable, the Valuation Time and the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when such trading shall have been fully resumed and such reporting shall have been restored, or such other date as the parties may agree.
7. SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND TERMINATION OF NORDIC FUND.
(a) Nordic Fund agrees to call a meeting of its shareholders after the effective date of the Registration Statement, to consider transferring its assets to Europe Fund as herein provided, adopting this Agreement, and authorizing the liquidation of Nordic Fund.

Fund Summary
Investment Summary
Investment Objective
Canada Fund seeks growth of capital over the long term.
Principal Investment Strategies
- Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of Canadian issuers and other investments that are tied economically to Canada.
- Potentially investing in securities of U.S. issuers.
- Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
- Investing up to 35% of total assets in any industry that accounts for more than 20% of the Canadian market.
- Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and 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.
- Geographic Concentration in Canada. Because FMR concentrates the fund's investments in Canada, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political, and economic conditions within Canada and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds. In addition, because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in certain industries, the fund's performance could be affected to the extent that the particular industry or industries in which the fund invests are sensitive to adverse social, political, economic, or regulatory developments.
- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
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.
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.

- Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
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.
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 information illustrates the changes in each fund's performance from year to year and compares each fund's performance to the performance of a market index and except Canada, an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Prior to September 1, 2000, China Region operated under certain different investment policies. Accordingly, the fund's historical performance may not represent its current investment policies.

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. 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. Actual after-tax returns may differ depending on your individual circumstances.

Investment Objective
Japan Smaller Companies Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal Investment Strategies
FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities of Japanese issuers, and other investments that are tied economically to Japan, with smaller market capitalizations. For purposes of this fund, FMR defines smaller market capitalization issuers as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell/Nomura Mid-Small Cap Index or the JASDAQ. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. Companies whose capitalization is above this level after purchase continue to be considered to have a smaller market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. 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 Japanese issuers with larger market capitalizations. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

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.
Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, loans and loan participations, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect each fund's performance. A 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. Because FMR concentrates each fund's investments in a particular country or group of countries, each fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that country or group of countries and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds. In addition, because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the assets of Latin America Fund in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. 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 factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:
Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. 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.
Foreign and Emerging Market Risk. 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.
Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.
Geographic Concentration. Social, political, and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country or region could significantly affect the market in that country or region. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact the issuers of securities in a different country or region. From time to time, a small number of companies and industries may represent a large portion of the market in a particular country or region, and these companies and industries can be sensitive to adverse social, political, economic, or regulatory developments.
Prospectus
Special Considerations regarding Asia. Asia includes countries in all stages of economic development, from the highly developed economy of Japan to the emerging market economy of China. Most Asian economies are characterized by over-extension of credit, frequent currency fluctuations, devaluations, and restrictions, rising unemployment, rapid fluctuation in, among other things, inflation, reliance on exports, and less efficient markets. Currency devaluations in any one country can have a significant effect on the entire region. Recently, the markets in each Asian country have suffered significant downturns as well as significant volatility. Furthermore, increased political and social unrest in some Asian countries could cause further economic and market uncertainty in the entire region.
Special Considerations regarding the China Region. The Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Chinese economies are dependent on the economies of other Asian countries and can be significantly affected by currency fluctuations and increasing competition from Asia's other low-cost emerging economies. These China region economies can also be significantly affected by general social, economic, and political conditions in China and other Asian countries. In addition, the Taiwanese economy can be significantly affected by security threats from China. The willingness and ability of the Chinese government to support the Hong Kong and Chinese economies and markets is uncertain. China has yet to develop comprehensive securities, corporate, or commercial laws, and its market is relatively new and undeveloped. Also, foreign investments may be restricted. Changes in government policy could significantly affect the local markets.
Special Considerations regarding Japan. The Japanese economy is characterized by government intervention and protectionism, and an unstable financial services sector. Also, the Japanese economy could be recovering from a long recession, although uncertainties about its recovery remain. International trade, government support of the financial services sector and other troubled sectors, consistent government policy, natural disasters, and geo-political developments can significantly affect economic growth. The United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, but a significant portion of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of which are in East and Southeast Asia.
Special Considerations regarding the Pacific Basin. The Pacific Basin economies are in all stages of economic development. The majority of the economies in the region can be characterized as either developing or newly industrialized. Many of the Pacific Basin economies may be intertwined, so they may experience recessions at the same time. Furthermore, many of the Pacific Basin economies are characterized by high inflation, undeveloped financial services sectors, heavy reliance on international trade, frequent currency fluctuations, devaluations, or restrictions, political and social instability, and less efficient markets. The Australia and New Zealand economies are dependent on the economies of Asian countries and on the price and demand for agricultural products and natural resources.
Special Considerations regarding Southeast Asia. Most economies in Southeast Asia are generally considered emerging markets and may be intertwined, so they may experience recessions at the same time. Furthermore, many of the Southeast Asian economies are characterized by high inflation, undeveloped financial services sectors, heavy reliance on international trade, frequent currency fluctuations, devaluations, or restrictions, political and social instability, and less efficient markets.
Special Considerations regarding Canada. The Canadian and U.S. economies are closely integrated. The United States is Canada's largest trading partner and foreign investor. Canada is a major producer of forest products, metals, agricultural products, and energy-related products, such as oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. As a result, the Canadian economy is very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources, and the Canadian market is relatively concentrated in issuers involved in the production and distribution of natural resources. Periodic demands by the Province of Quebec for sovereignty could significantly affect the Canadian market.
Special Considerations regarding Europe. Europe includes both developed and emerging markets. Most developed countries in Western Europe are members of the European Union (EU), and many are also members of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). European countries can be significantly affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls that the EMU imposes on its members or requires candidates for EMU imposes on its members or requires candidates for EMU membership to comply with. Unemployment in Europe has historically been higher than in the United States. Eastern European countries generally continue to move toward market economies. However, their markets remain relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to social, political, and economic developments.
Special Considerations regarding the Nordic Region. The Nordic economies are dependent on the export of natural resources and natural resource products. Efforts to comply with the EMU restrictions by Finland and Sweden may result in reduced government spending and higher unemployment. Denmark has elected not to join the final stage of the EMU and Norway has elected not to join both the EU and the EMU and, as a result, these countries may have more flexibility to pursue different fiscal and economic goals.
Special Considerations regarding Latin America. The economies of countries in Latin America are all considered emerging market economies. High interest, inflation, and unemployment rates generally characterize each economy. Currency fluctuations or devaluations in any country can have a significant affect on the entire region. Because commodities such as, without limitation, agricultural products, minerals, and metals represent a significant percentage of exports of many Latin American countries, the economies of those countries are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in commodity prices.

Fund Basics - continued
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 affect a security's or instrument's value.
Small Cap Investing. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller issuers can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources.
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 a fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Southeast Asia Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of Southeast Asian issuers and other investments that are tied economically to Southeast Asia.
Country or Geographic Region
FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied economically to a particular country or region including: the source of government guarantees (if any); the primary trading market; the issuer's domicile, sources of revenue, and location of assets; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.
Valuing Shares
Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.
Prospectus
To the extent that each 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 a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
Each fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations or official closing prices. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations or official closing 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 will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, 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 market but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair value pricing will be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is determined to be stale or for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent a fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. A fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. 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 the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While each 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.

In addition, each fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.
A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders, including exchanges.
For example, a fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund.
Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term shareholders in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of fund shares. However, there is the risk that the funds' policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. A fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders.
There is no minimum holding period and shareholders can sell their shares at any time. Shareholders will ordinarily comply with the funds' policies regarding excessive trading by allowing 90 days to pass after each investment before they sell or exchange from a fund. A fund may take action if shares are held longer than 90 days if the trading is disruptive for other reasons such as unusually large trade size. Each fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase or exchange transaction at any time. In addition, each fund reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases or exchanges at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus. In addition to these policies, each fund imposes a short-term redemption fee on redemptions from each fund which is discussed in "Selling Shares."
Excessive trading activity is measured by the number of roundtrip transactions in a shareholder's account. A roundtrip transaction occurs when a shareholder buys and then sells shares of a fund within 30 days. Shareholders are limited to two roundtrip transactions per fund within any rolling 90-day period, subject to an overall limit of four roundtrip transactions across all Fidelity funds over a rolling 12-month period. Transactions of $1,000 or less, systematic withdrawal and/or contribution programs, mandatory retirement distributions, and transactions initiated by a plan sponsor will not count toward the roundtrip limits. For employer-sponsored retirement plans, only participant directed exchanges will count toward the roundtrip limits.
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 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 for an 85-day period. For repeat offenders, FMR may, but does not have the obligation to, impose long-term or permanent blocks on purchase or exchange purchase transactions in any account under the shareholder's common control at any time, other than a participant's account held through an employer-sponsored retirement plan. 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 will be monitored by matching the adviser's orders for purchase, exchange, or sale transactions in fund shares to determine if the adviser's orders comply with the fund's frequent trading policies. Additions to and withdrawals from a qualified wrap program by the adviser's client will not be matched with transactions initiated by the adviser. Therefore if the adviser buys shares of a fund and an individual client subsequently sells shares of the same fund within 30 days, the client's transaction is not matched with the adviser's and therefore does not count as a roundtrip. However, client initiated transactions are subject to a fund's policies on frequent trading and individual clients will be subject to restrictions due to their frequent trading in a wrap account. Excessive trading by an adviser will lead to fund blocks and the wrap program will cease to be a qualified wrap program. If the wrap program is blocked from making additional purchases or exchange purchases of a fund because of excessive trading by the adviser the wrap program will no longer be considered qualified and any transaction whether initiated by the adviser or the client will be matched when counting roundtrips. Wrap account client purchases and sale transactions will be monitored under a fund's monitoring policy as though the wrap clients were fund shareholders. 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.
Each fund's excessive trade monitoring policy described above 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, or omnibus accounts. Trustees or advisers of donor-advised charitable gift funds must certify to the funds' satisfaction that they either work from an asset allocation model or direct transactions in their accounts in concert with changes in a model portfolio and that participants are limited in their ability to influence investments by the trust. 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 funds' policies on frequent trading to shareholders at the fund-of-fund(s) level, or demonstrates that the fund-of-fund(s) has policies designed to control frequent trading and that they are reasonably likely to be effective as determined by the Fidelity funds' Treasurer. The adviser to the fund-of-fund(s) must also demonstrate to the Fidelity funds' Treasurer that its investment strategy will not lead to excessive trading. Omnibus accounts are maintained by intermediaries acting on behalf of multiple investors whose individual trades are not ordinarily disclosed to a fund. Short-term trading by these investors is likely to go undetected by a fund and may increase costs and disrupt portfolio management. The funds will monitor aggregate trading in qualified fund-of-funds and known omnibus accounts to attempt to identify disruptive trades, focusing on transactions in excess of $250,000. There is no assurance that these policies will be effective, or will successfully detect or deter market timing.
Prospectus
The funds' Treasurer is authorized to suspend the funds' policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency.
The funds do not knowingly accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors, except as provided under the funds' policies with respect to known omnibus accounts, qualified fund-of-fund(s), qualified wrap accounts, donor-advised charitable gift funds, and 30 day roundtrips.
Buying Shares
Effective the close of business on February 28, 2006, new positions in Japan Smaller Companies may no longer be opened. Shareholders of the fund on that date may continue to add to their fund positions existing on that date. Investors who did not own shares of the fund on February 28, 2006, generally will not be allowed to buy shares of the fund except that new fund positions may be opened: 1) by participants in most group employer retirement plans (and their successor plans) if the fund had been established as an investment option under the plans (or under another plan sponsored by the same employer) by February 28, 2006, 2) for accounts managed on a discretionary basis by certain registered investment advisers that have discretionary assets of at least $500 million invested in mutual funds and have included the fund in their discretionary account program since February 28, 2006, 3) by a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager, and 4) by a portfolio manager of the fund. These restrictions generally will apply to investments made directly with Fidelity and investments made through intermediaries. Investors may be required to demonstrate eligibility to buy shares of the fund before an investment is accepted.
The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.
Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.
Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries and mutual funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries or mutual funds receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary or mutual fund.
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.
Certain financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when a fund is 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.
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 each fund is the fund's NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable.
For Canada, China Region, Emerging Markets, Japan, Japan Smaller Companies, Latin America, Nordic, Pacific Basin, and Southeast Asia, if you sell your shares after holding them less than 90 days, a 1.50% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. For Europe and Europe Capital Appreciation, if you sell your shares after holding them for 30 days, a 1.00% short-term redemption fee may be deducted from the redemption amount. For this purpose, shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last. The fees are paid to the funds, not Fidelity, and are designed to help offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.
The short-term redemption fee does not apply to: (i) redemptions of shares acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions; (ii) rollovers, transfers, and changes of account registration within the fund as long as the money never leaves the fund; and (iii) redemptions in kind.
Each fund also permits waivers of the short-term redemption fee for the following transactions:
- Redemptions due to Fidelity fund small balance maintenance fees;
- Redemptions related to death or due to a divorce decree;
- Certain types of IRA account transactions, including: redemptions pursuant to systematic withdrawal programs, withdrawals due to disability, return of excess contribution amounts, and redemptions related to payment of custodian fees; and
- Certain types of employer-sponsored and 403(b) retirement plan transactions, including: loans or hardship withdrawals, minimum required distributions, redemptions pursuant to systematic withdrawal programs, forfeiture of assets, return of excess contribution amounts, redemptions related to payment of plan fees, and redemptions related to death, disability, or qualified domestic relations order.

Shareholder Information - continued
The application of short-term redemption fees and waivers may vary among intermediaries and certain intermediaries may not apply the waivers listed above. If you purchase or sell fund shares through an intermediary, you should contact your intermediary for more information on whether the short-term redemption fee will be applied to redemptions of your shares.
Each fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the short-term redemption fee or waivers at any time. Investment advisers or their affiliates may pay short-term redemption fees on behalf of investors in managed accounts. Unitized group accounts consisting of qualified plan assets may be treated as a single account for redemption fee purposes.
Fidelity seeks to identify intermediaries that hold fund shares in omnibus accounts and will refuse their purchase orders if they do not agree to track and remit short-term redemption fees based on the transactions of underlying investors. There are no assurances that Fidelity will successfully identify all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess short-term redemption fees.
Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable. 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 and mutual funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf. When authorized intermediaries or mutual funds receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund, and shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, after the order is received by the authorized intermediary or mutual fund.
Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It 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, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:
- You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
- The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
- You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
- You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
- 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 $2,000 to keep your fund position open ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA and Keogh accounts, and Non-Fidelity Prototype Retirement accounts), 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. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
- Remember to keep shares in your fund positions to be eligible to purchase additional shares of the funds.
- 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 a 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 next NAV 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.
To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. Each fund no longer issues share certificates.
Exchanging Shares
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 a 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.
- Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each 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.
Prospectus
- 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 funds may terminate or modify the 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.

Prospectus
Shareholder Information - continued
Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November 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 regular investment plans.
You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 ($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. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV, minus the short-term redemption fee, if applicable, 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
Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
Each fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions in December.
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 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 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 next NAV calculated on the day of the investment.
Tax Consequences
As with any investment, your investment in a 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 each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain of each fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of each 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 a 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 a 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.
Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.
For China Region, Emerging Markets, Japan Smaller Companies, Latin America, and Nordic, the 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.
For Canada, Europe, Europe Capital Appreciation, Japan, Pacific Basin, and Southeast Asia, 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 Canada has performed relative to the S&P/TSX Composite, Europe has performed relative to the MSCI Europe Index, Europe Capital Appreciation has performed relative to the MSCI Europe Index, Japan has performed relative to the TOPIX, Pacific Basin has performed relative to the MSCI AC Pacific Index, or Southeast Asia has performed relative to the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan 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 a 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%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.
For October 2006, the group fee rate was 0.26%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.45% for each fund.
The basic fee for Europe, Japan, Pacific Basin, and Southeast Asia for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 was 0.72% of each fund's average net assets. The basic fee for Canada and Europe Capital Appreciation for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 was 0.71% of the fund's average net assets.
The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period Canada's performance to that of the S&P/TSX Composite, Europe's performance to that of the MSCI Europe Index, Europe Capital Appreciation's performance to that of the MSCI Europe Index, Japan's performance to that of the TOPIX, Pacific Basin's performance to that of the MSCI AC Pacific Index, and Southeast Asia's performance to that of the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan Index.
For Canada, Europe, Europe Capital Appreciation, Japan, Pacific Basin, and Southeast Asia, the performance period is the most recent 36 month period.
The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% (for Canada, Europe, Europe Capital Appreciation, Japan, Pacific Basin, and Southeast Asia) 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, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, for each fund is shown in the following table.
| Total Management Fee |
Canada | 0.70% |
China Region | 0.71% |

FMR pays FMRC and FMR U.K. for providing sub-advisory services. FMR and its affiliates pay FRAC for providing sub-advisory services. FMR pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FIIA or FRAC in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.
The basis for the Board of Trustees approving the management contract and sub-advisory agreements for each fund is available in the funds' annual report for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2006.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.
As of October 31, 2006, approximately 61.13% and 38.67% of Europe and Japan's total outstanding shares, respectively, were held by FMR affiliates.
Fund Distribution
FDC distributes each fund's shares.
Intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, service-providers, and administrators, 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 on the following pages and in the SAI.
Each fund 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 fund shares 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 each fund has authorized such payments.
If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a fund'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 funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Fidelity Investment Trust:
Fidelity Europe Fund and Fidelity Nordic Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Combining Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Combining Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect balances as of October 31, 2006 and the unaudited Pro Forma Combining Statement of Operations reflect results for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. The pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed merger of Fidelity Nordic Fund (the "Target Fund") by Fidelity Europe Fund (the "Acquiring Fund") as if the merger had occurred on the first day of the year presented (November 1, 2005). The pro forma financial statements were derived from financial statements prepared for the Acquiring Fund and Target Fund 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 Fidelity Nordic Fund and Fidelity Europe Fund. Both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund have substantially the same accounting policies which are detailed in the reports incorporated by reference in the SAI.
2. 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 October 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed merger. Shareholders of the Target 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 Target Fund. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued was calculated based on the October 31, 2006 net assets of the Target Fund and the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund as follows:
| Fidelity Nordic Fund |
Target Funds pre-merger shares | 9,525,813 |
Target Funds net assets | $348,482,355 |
Net asset value per share Acquiring Fund | $42.31 |
Acquiring Fund merger shares issued | 8,236,406 |
Difference between total additional shares to be issued and pre-merger Target Funds shares outstanding | (1,289,407) |
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.
