SYNOPSIS OF THE PROPOSAL
The Board of Trustees, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the trust or of FMR (the Independent Trustees), has approved, and recommends that shareholders of the fund approve, an amended management contract with FMR (the Amended Contract) in the form attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit 1. As described below in the Proposal, the Amended Contract changes the performance benchmark used to determine a portion of the management fee that FMR receives from the fund for managing its investments and business affairs. The fund currently pays a management fee linked to the fund's performance with respect to the MSCI® EAFE® Small Cap Index. The Trustees recommend that the fee be tied instead to the fund's performance with respect to the MSCI® ACWI® (All Country World Index) ex US Small Cap Index.
In addition to the modification discussed in more detail below, other non-material changes to the Amended Contract are proposed (see Exhibit 1). The changes are intended to clarify certain language in the fund's existing management contract with FMR (the Present Contract). If the proposal is approved by shareholders, these non-material changes will be included in the Amended Contract.
<R>The fund's current investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies with small market capitalization (which, for the purposes of this fund, are those companies with market capitalizations of $5 billion or less). The fund compares its performance to and calculates its performance fee against the MSCI® EAFE® Small Cap Index, which measures the performance of small cap stocks in 21 developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada.</R>
<R>FMR believes that the fund should expand its targeted investment universe to include Canadian and emerging markets securities and compare its performance to the MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap Index, which measures the performance of small cap stocks in 22 developed markets, including Canada, and 22 emerging market countries. The Board of Trustees and FMR believe that the broader investment universe will benefit shareholders by enabling the fund to take advantage of compelling investment opportunities in small cap securities of Canadian and emerging markets companies. Additionally, expanding the fund's targeted investment universe to include Canada and emerging markets would provide investors with full exposure to non-U.S. small cap securities within a single fund, making the fund more appealing and better positioned for future asset growth and potentially lower expenses over time.</R>
<R>The proposal is part of FMR's plans to repatriate the fund's assets from FIA(UK) and FIJ, sub-advisers to the fund, to FMR, the fund's manager, on or about February 28, 2014. It is currently expected that in connection with the repatriation of the fund's assets Sam Chamovitz will become the fund's portfolio manager, succeeding co-managers Dale Nicholls, Nicholas Price, and Colin Stone. FMR will continue to serve as the fund's manager and have overall responsibility for directing the fund's investments and handling its business affairs. The anticipated date for these changes may change subject to FMR's discretion.</R>
<R>Present and Amended Contracts.FMR is the fund's investment adviser pursuant to the Present Contract dated August 1, 2013. (For information on FMR, see the section entitled "Activities and Management of FMR," on page(Click Here).) A form of the Amended Contract, marked to show proposed changes, is supplied as Exhibit 1 on page(Click Here).Except for changes reflecting the performance adjustment index change and other non-material changes intended to clarify certain language in the Present Contract, the Amended Contract is substantially similar to the Present Contract. (For a detailed discussion of the fund's Present Contract, refer to the section entitled "Present Management Contract" on page(Click Here).) If approved by shareholders, the Amended Contract will take effect on the first day of the month following approval and will remain in effect through July 31, 2014, and thereafter, only as long as its continuance is approved at least annually by (i) the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose, of a majority of the Independent Trustees and (ii) the vote of either a majority of the Trustees or a majority of the outstanding shares of the fund. If the Amended Contract is not approved, the Present Contract will continue in effect through July 31, 2014, and thereafter only as its continuance is approved at least annually as described above.</R>
Shareholders are being asked to approve the following proposal to amend the Present Contract.
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE A CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT
INDEX FOR THE FUND.
The Amended Contract modifies section 3 of the Present Contract to prospectively change the index used to calculate the fund's Performance Adjustment from the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (the Current Index) to the MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap Index (the Proposed Index). FMR proposes to change the fund's Performance Adjustment Index to expand the fund's targeted investment universe to include investments in Canadian and emerging market issuers.
<R>Current Management Fee.The fund's current management fee is calculated and paid monthly, and is normally expressed as an annual percentage of the fund's average net assets. The fee has two components: a Basic Fee and a Performance Adjustment. The Basic Fee is an annual percentage of the fund's average net assets for the current month. The Basic Fee Rate is the sum of a Group Fee Rate, which declines as FMR's fund assets under management increases, and a fixed individual fund fee rate of 0.60%. For this purpose, the monthly average net assets of any registered investment companies with which FMR previously had management contracts but that currently have management contracts with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC are included. The Basic Fee Rate for the fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 was 0.85%.</R>
<R>The Performance Adjustment is a positive or negative dollar amount applied to the Basic Fee, and is based on the fund's performance and assets over the most recent 36 months. If the fund outperforms its current comparative index, the Current Index, over 36 months, FMR receives a positive Performance Adjustment, which increases the management fee. If the fund underperforms the Current Index, FMR's management fee is reduced by a negative Performance Adjustment. The Performance Adjustment is an annual percentage of the fund's average net assets over the 36-month period. The Performance Adjustment rate is 0.02% for each percentage point (the performance of the fund and the Current Index each being calculated to the nearest 0.01%) of outperformance or underperformance, subject to a maximum rate of ±0.20%. Under the Present Contract, FMR received a positive Performance Adjustment for the fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, which equaled 0.11% of the fund's average net assets for the year.</R>
Although the Performance Adjustment is subject to a maximum rate of ±0.20%, it is calculated as a dollar amount. Because the Performance Adjustment is based on the fund's 36-month average net assets, the Performance Adjustment as a dollar amount can be more than 0.20% or less than -0.20% when measured against current assets. For example, if the fund outperformed its index by 8 percentage points, the performance adjustment rate would be a positive 0.16% (0.02% multiplied by 8). If the fund's current net assets were the same as its 36-month average net assets, the Performance Adjustment also would be 0.16%. However, if the fund's current assets were double the 36-month average assets, the Performance Adjustment would be 0.08% based on current assets, because the dollar amount of the fee increase is spread over a larger asset base. Similarly, if the fund's current assets were half the 36-month average, the performance adjustment would be 0.32% based on current assets, because the dollar amount of the fee increase is spread over a smaller asset base.
<R>Effects of Proposed Amendment to the Present Management Contract.As explained above, if the proposal is approved, the fund will broaden its targeted investment universe to include small cap securities of Canadian and emerging market issuers, and FMR will use a different benchmark to determine a portion of its management fee. To the extent that a fund's performance benchmark represents its "neutral" investment position (or its universe), a benchmark change could change the fund's investment characteristics. If the proposal is approved, the fund will move from a benchmark designed to invest in securities of small cap stocks in 21 developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada, to one with a broader small cap representation across 22 developed market countries, including Canada, and 22 emerging market countries. FMR believes the Proposed Index will provide a more meaningful performance comparison for the fund.</R>
<R>The expected financial impact of the proposed change in the performance adjustment index for the fund is summarized briefly in the following paragraphs. The changes are discussed in more detail in the remainder of the proposal.</R>
<R>Financial Impact of Proposed Change in Performance Adjustment.Because the change will be implemented prospectively, the future impact on management fees will depend on the fund's future performance relative to the Proposed Index. However, the past performance of the Proposed Index and the fund can be used to show what the impact would have been on management fees for fiscal year 2013 (12 months ended October 31, 2013) if the Proposed Index had been the fund's Performance Adjustment Index. For this purpose, the performance of the Proposed Index was substituted for the performance of the Current Index for the rolling 36-month performance period ended during the fiscal year. (Under the terms of the Amended Contract, the proposed change in the fund's Performance Adjustment Index will actually occur on a gradual basis over the 36-month period following shareholder approval of the Amended Contract. See "Implementation of Change in Performance Adjustment Index" on page(Click Here) for details.)</R>
<R>For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the positive Performance Adjustment using the Current Index totaled 0.11% of the fund's average net assets. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the positive Performance Adjustment using the Proposed Index would have totaled 0.17% of the fund's average net assets. Thus, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, if the Proposed Index had been the fund's Performance Adjustment Index, the fund's management fee would have been $503,974 higher, or 0.06% higher as a percentage of the fund's average net assets for the year, compared to the rate FMR was entitled to receive under the Present Contract. The management fee based on the Proposed Index for that period is a hypothetical management fee as FMR would have managed the fund differently if the Proposed Index had been in place during the calculation period.</R>
Change in Performance Adjustment Index
<R>Comparison of Proposed and Current Performance Adjustment Indices.If the proposal is approved, the fund will change its Performance Adjustment Index prospectively to the Proposed Index, the MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap Index. The MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap Index measures non-US small cap performance across 22 developed market countries, including Canada, and 22 emerging market countries. The Current Index, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, is a market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the investable equity market performance of small cap stocks for global investors of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index is designed as a measure of the performance of small cap stocks in 21 developed markets, and excludes both U. S. and Canadian securities, whereas MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap Index excludes U.S. securities but includes both Canadian and emerging market securities. FMR believes that the Proposed Index will provide a more appropriate comparison than the Current Index because the Proposed Index includes Canadian and emerging market securities.</R>
<R>The following chart compares the rolling 36-month returns (the measurement period used to calculate Performance Adjustments) of the fund and the Current and Proposed Indices for the past three years ended October 31, 2013. The chart shows that the fund outperformed the Proposed Index and the Current Index for a portion of the period and underperformed the Proposed Index for a portion of the period.</R>

Returns for the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index are adjusted for tax withholding rates applicable to U.S. based mutual funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts (net MA tax). MSCI will provide a net MA tax version of the MSCI ACWI ex US Small Cap Index beginning on April 1, 2014, the effective date of the proposed benchmark change, if the proposal is approved.
The following chart compares the calendar year performance of the fund to both indices over the past 10 calendar years, and for the 10 months ended October 31, 2013. The chart shows that the two benchmarks have performed differently at times over this period, with the Proposed Index outperforming the Current Index in four of the past ten calendar years.

Implementation of Change in Performance Adjustment Index.Ifthe proposal is approved, the change in the fund's Performance Adjustment Index will be implemented on a prospective basis beginning with the first day of the month following shareholder approval. However, because the Performance Adjustment is based on a rolling 36-month measurement period, comparisons to the Proposed Index will not be fully implemented for 36 months after shareholder approval. During this transition period, the fund's returns will be compared to a 36-month blended index return that reflects the performance of the Current Index for the portion of the performance period prior to adoption and the performance of the Proposed Index for the remainder of the period. For example, the Performance Adjustment for the first full month following shareholder approval would be calculated by comparing the fund's performance over the 36-month performance period to a blended index return calculated using the Current Index's performance for the first 35 months of the performance period and the Proposed Index's performance for the 36th month. Each month for the following 35 months, the blended index return would reflect an additional month of the Proposed Index's performance and one less month of the Current Index's performance. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the Current Index would be eliminated from the Performance Adjustment calculation, and the calculation would include only the performance of the Proposed Index.
Comparison of Management Fees.The following table compares the fund's management fee for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, under the terms of the Present Contract, to the management fee the fund would have incurred if the proposed change in the Performance Adjustment Index had been in effect. For this purpose, the Performance Adjustment amount presented for the Amended Contract for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 has been calculated using the rolling 36-month historical performance of the Proposed Index during the period. Management fees are expressed in dollars and as a percentage of the fund's average net assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. The management fee shown in the table for the Amended Contract is a hypothetical management fee as FMR would have managed the fund differently if the Proposed Index had been in place during the calculation period.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees.
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund
<R>On November 13, 2013, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve an amended management contract (the Amended Contract) for the fund and to submit the Amended Contract to shareholders for their approval, with the intention of differentiating the fund and increasing its appeal by including Canada and emerging markets within its target investment universe. If approved by shareholders, the Amended Contract will prospectively change the index used to calculate the fund's performance adjustment from the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (the Current Index), which represents non-U.S. small cap issuers across 21 developed market countries, excluding Canada, to the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. Small Cap Index (the Proposed Index), which represents non-U.S. small cap issuers across 22 developed market countries, including Canada, and 22 emerging market countries.</R>
In considering whether to approve the Amended Contract for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the approval of the Amended Contract is in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Amended Contract is fair and reasonable. The Board, in reaching its determination to approve the Amended Contract, was aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.
<R> Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing within the investment adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisers, including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel. The Board also considered the fund's investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophy, and compared those to Fidelity's other international small cap offerings.</R>
<R>Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board and the Fund Oversight and Research Committees took note of the general qualifications and capabilities of Fidelity's investment staff, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel, which it had reviewed in connection with its annual renewal of the fund's advisory contracts in July 2013. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board also believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading and risk management capabilities and resources, which are an integral part of the investment management process.</R>
<R>Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services to be performed by FMR under the Amended Contract. The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.</R>
<R>Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services.</R>
<R>Investment Performance. In determining whether the Proposed Index is an appropriate index against which to measure the fund's investment performance, the Board considered that, subject to shareholder approval of the Amended Contract, FMR expects to increase the fund's exposure to investments in Canada and emerging markets. The Board noted that because the Proposed Index includes securities of issuers from Canada and emerging markets in addition to those of the same countries included in the Current Index, it will provide a more meaningful performance comparison for the fund going forward.</R>
The Board considered the rolling 36-month returns of the fund's retail class compared to the rolling 36-month returns of the Current Index and the Proposed Index over the last three years ended September 30, 2013. The Board noted that the fund generally outperformed the Current Index and outperformed and underperformed the Proposed Index at different times over that period.
The Board compared the current weightings and characteristics of the Proposed Index to the Current Index. The Board also considered the performance of each index over the past ten calendar years and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Board noted that the Proposed Index slightly outperformed the Current Index over the past 10 years. The Board recognized that past performance would have no impact on performance in the future and noted that historical performance differences between the Current and Proposed Index were primarily related to Canadian and emerging markets holdings.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund under the Amended Contract should benefit the fund's shareholders.
<R> Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered that, because the change in the index used to calculate the fund's performance adjustment will be implemented prospectively, the future impact on management fees will depend solely on the fund's future performance relative to the Proposed Index. Nonetheless, the Board considered the management fee that the fund incurred under the current management contract (with the Current Index) for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to the hypothetical management fee that the fund would have incurred if the Amended Contract (with the Proposed Index) had been in effect during that period. The Board noted that, under the current management contract, the fund's basic fee was increased by a positive performance adjustment of approximately 0.12% and that, if the Amended Contract had been in effect during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2013, the fund's basic fee would have increased by a positive performance adjustment of 0.16%. As a result, the fund's hypothetical management fee would have been 0.04% ($371,854) higher if the Amended Contract had been in effect during that period. The Board noted that the fund outperformed the Current Index and the Proposed Index over that period.</R>
<R>In its review, the Board noted that at its July 2013 meeting it received and considered materials relating to its review of total expenses for the fund in connection with its renewal of the fund's current advisory contracts. This information included Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients. Because the fund's management fee impacts the fund's total expenses - and because the future impact on management fees will depend solely on the fund's future performance relative to the Proposed Index - the Board will next review the fund's total expenses compared to competitive fund median expenses in connection with its future renewal of the fund's advisory contracts.</R>
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
<R> Costs of the Services and Profitability. Because the Board was approving an arrangement under which the management fee that the fund pays FMR will depend solely on the fund's future performance relative to the Proposed Index, it did not consider data regarding the impact on Fidelity's costs of services, revenues, or profitability to be a significant factor in its decision. The Board noted that it considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders in connection with its annual renewal of the fund's advisory contracts in July 2013, and that the Board will consider Fidelity's costs of services and profitability in connection with its future renewal of the fund's advisory contracts.</R>
<R> Economies of Scale. The Board recognized that the fund's Amended Contract, like the current contract, incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under management decrease. FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as assets under management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.</R>
The Board noted that it previously received and reviewed information regarding whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the fund, whether the fund has appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale in connection with its annual renewal of the fund's advisory contracts in July 2013, and that the Board will consider economies of scale In connection with its future renewal of the fund's advisory contracts.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the Amended Contract should be approved and submitted to shareholders for their approval.
<R>OTHER BUSINESS</R>
The Board knows of no other business to be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention that proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons therein designated.

<R>PRESENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT</R>
The Present Contract, dated August 1, 2013, was approved by the Board of Trustees on July 16, 2013, pursuant to authority granted under SEC staff interpretations of the 1940 Act.
Management Services.Under the terms of the Present Contract, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides the fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of the fund and all Trustees who are interested persons of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.
<R></R>
<R>In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with the fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.</R>
<R>Services provided by affiliates of FMR will continue under the Amended Contract described in the Proposal.</R>
Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the costs associated with securities lending, the fund or each class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and Independent Trustees. The Present Contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
Management Fees. For the services of FMR under the Present Contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a basic fee, which is the sum of a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate, and a performance adjustment based on a comparison of the fund's performance to that of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts. For this purpose, the monthly average net assets of any registered investment companies with which FMR previously had management contracts but that currently have management contracts with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC are included.

<R>The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $1,508 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for October 2013 - was 0.2521%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $1,508 billion.</R>
The fund's individual fund fee rate is 0.60%. Based on the average group net assets for October 2013, the fund's annual basic fee rate would be calculated as follows:
Fund | Group Fee Rate | | Individual Fund Fee Rate | | Basic Fee Rate |
<R>Fidelity International Small Cap Fund | 0.2521% | + | 0.6000% | = | 0.8521%</R> |
One-twelfth of the basic fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.
Computing the Performance Adjustment. The basic fee for Fidelity International Small Cap Fund is subject to upward or downward adjustment, depending upon whether, and to what extent, the fund's investment performance for the performance period exceeds, or is exceeded by, the record over the same period of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. The performance period consists of the most recent month plus the previous 35 months.
If the Trustees determine that another index is appropriate for Fidelity International Small Cap Fund, they may designate a successor index to be substituted, when permitted by applicable law.
For the purposes of calculating the performance adjustment for the fund, the fund's investment performance will be based on the performance of Fidelity International Small Cap Fund, a class of shares of the fund. To the extent that Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class have higher expenses, this could result in Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class bearing a larger positive performance adjustment and smaller negative performance adjustment than would be the case if each class's own performance were considered.
The performance comparison is made at the end of each month.
Each percentage point of difference, calculated to the nearest 0.01% (up to a maximum difference of ±10.00), is multiplied by a performance adjustment rate of 0.02%. The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period.
One twelfth (1/12) of this rate is then applied to the fund's average net assets over the performance period, giving a dollar amount which will be added to (or subtracted from) the basic fee.
The performance of the fund is calculated based on change in NAV. For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment, any dividends or capital gain distributions paid by the fund are treated as if reinvested in that fund's shares at the NAV as of the record date for payment.
The record of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index is based on change in value and is adjusted for any cash distributions from the companies whose securities compose the index. Because the adjustment to the basic fee is based on the fund's performance compared to the investment record of the index, the controlling factor is not whether the fund's performance is up or down per se, but whether it is up or down more or less than the record of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. Moreover, the comparative investment performance of the fund is based solely on the relevant performance period without regard to the cumulative performance over a longer or shorter period of time.
The index returns for the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index are adjusted for tax withholding at treaty rates applicable to U.S.-based mutual funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts.
<R>For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the fund paid FMR management fees of $8,281,856. The amount of this management fee includes both the basic fee and the amount of the performance adjustment, if any. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the upward performance adjustment amounted to $929,023.</R>
FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of a class's operating expenses. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Expense reimbursements will increase returns, and repayment of the reimbursement will decrease returns.

Required authorization and approval by Trustees having been obtained, the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser hereby consent, pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the existing Management Contract, to a modification of said Contract in the manner set forth below. TheAmendedand Restated Management Contract shall, when executed by duly authorized officers of the Fund and Adviser, take effect on August 1, 2013.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are "interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio, supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees. The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the last day of each month, composed of a Basic Fee and a Performance Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph 3, the Performance Adjustment is added to or subtracted from the Basic Fee depending on whether the Portfolio experienced better or worse performance than"an appropriate index" (the "Index"). The Performance Adjustment is not cumulative. An increased fee will result even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period of time shorter than the performance period has been behind that of the Index, and, conversely, a reduction in the fee will be made for a month even though the performance of the Portfolio over some period of time shorter than the performance period has been ahead of that of the Index. The Basic Fee and the Performance Adjustment will be computed as follows:
(a) Basic Fee Rate: The annual Basic Fee Rate shall be the sum of the Group Fee Rate and the Individual Fund Fee Rate calculated to the nearest millionth decimal place as follows:
(i) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month. For this purpose, the monthly average net assets of registered investment companies that previously had Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser and currently have Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC are included. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:

(ii) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be 0.60%.
(b) Basic Fee. One-twelfth of the Basic Fee Rate shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month. The resulting dollar amount comprises the Basic Fee.
(c) Performance Adjustment Rate:The performance period equals 36 months, the current month plus the previous 35 months. An adjustment to the monthly basic fee will be made by applying the Performance Adjustment Rate to the average net assets of the Portfolio over the performance period. One-twelfth of the resulting dollar figure will be added to or subtracted from the Basic Fee depending on whether the Portfolio experienced better or worse performance than the Index. Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph 3, the Performance Adjustment Rate is 0.02% for each percentage point (the performance of the Portfolio and the Index each being calculated to the nearest0.01%) that the Portfolio's investment performance for the performance period was better or worse than the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum performance adjustment rate is 0.20%.
The performance period will commence with the first day of the first full month following the Portfolio's commencement of operations.During the first eleven months of the performance period for the Portfolio, there will be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the performance period, the performance adjustment will take effect. Following the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months.
For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment of the Portfolio, the Portfolio's investment performance will be based on the performance of the retail class.
The Portfolio's investment performance will be measured by comparing (i) the opening net asset value of one share of theRretailCclass of the Portfolio on the first business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset value of one share of theRretailCclass of the Portfolio as of the last business day of such period. In computing the investment performance of the Portfolio'sRretailCclass and the investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains, the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and dividends paid out of investment income on the part of the Portfolio'sRretailCclass shares, and all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to time may be amended.
(d) Performance Adjustment. One-twelfth of the annual Performance Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month and the performance period.The resulting dollar amount is added to or deducted from the Basic Fee.
<R> (e) The Index shall be theMorgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Small Cap IndexMSCI All Country World ex U.S. Small Cap Index.Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as modified by or interpreted by any applicable order or orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any rules or regulations adopted by, or interpretative releases of, the Commission, the Trustees may designate an alternative appropriate index for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment (the "Successor Index") as provided in this sub-paragraph. For the 35 month period commencing onthe first day of the month following such designation (or such other date as agreed by the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser) (the "Transition Period")________,2014 (such period hereafter referred to as the "Transition Period"), the Performance Adjustment Rate shall be calculated by comparing the Portfolio's investment performance against the blended investment records of theSuccessorIndex and the index used to calculate the Portfolio's Performance Adjustment prior to the Transition Period (the "Prior Index"), such calculation being performed as follows:</R>
For the first month of the Transition Period, the Performance Adjustment Rate shall be calculated by comparing theretail class of the Portfolio's investment performance over the 36 month performance period against a blended index investment record that reflects the investment record of the Prior Index for the first 35 months of the performance period and the investment record of theSuccessorIndex for the 36th month of the performance period. For each subsequent month of the Transition Period, the Performance Adjustment Rate shall be calculated by comparing theretail class of the Portfolio's investment performance over the 36 month performance period against a blended index investment record that reflects one additional month of theSuccessorIndex's performance and one less month of the Prior Index's performance. This calculation methodology shall continue until the expiration of the Transition Period, at which time the investment record of the Prior Index shall be eliminated from the Performance Adjustment calculation, and theSuccessor Index shall become the Index for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustmentcalculation shall include only the investment record of the Index.

On the first day of the month following such designation (or such other date as agreed by the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser), the Performance Adjustment Rate shall be calculated by blending the index investment record of the Successor Index and then current Index, as provided above in this sub-paragraph.

Dear Investor,

To correct your e-mail address, please log in to one or more of your online account(s) and follow the instructions.
If this e-mail address is correct, there may be another issue preventing the receipt of these e-mails. Here are some things you should do:
- Confirm that your e-mail account is still active.
- Make sure that your e-mail inbox is not full (over its capacity).
- If you are using an e-mail address provided by your employer, make sure that you can receive e-mails from outside parties.
- Ask your e-mail provider if it has experienced an outage in its system.

Your Fund Needs Your Proxy Vote!
If you receive a proxy ballot for a mutual fund that you hold in your retirement account,please vote promptly.
You may have a fund in your [client:insert name of plan(s)] account that has requested your participation in a proxy vote. The fund must receive proxy votes from a majority of shareholders in order to hold a shareholder meeting. Without your vote, the meeting may have to be postponed, and you may continue to receive solicitations for your vote.
Please remember your vote is very important - whether you hold many shares or just a few. So if you receive a proxy request, please respond promptly.
Thank you.

Q: | What is Proxy Voting? |
A: | Mutual Funds may hold special meetings of shareholders to seek approval of changes to fund services or policies that require shareholder approval. As a shareholder, you are entitled to vote on these important matters. You could, if you wanted, attend the shareholder meeting in person to cast your vote, or you could cast a proxy vote, which allows you to cast your vote through the mail, over the telephone, or online. This way, your vote can be counted without you having to attend the meeting in person. |
| |
Q: | When will I receive the information I need to vote? |
A: | A proxy statement, which provides details regarding the meeting and the management and shareholder proposals, if any, that will be voted on at the meeting, is provided to shareholders before the meeting is held. The proxy statement may be sent to you via U.S. mail, or email, if you have consented to electronic delivery, or you may receive a notice linking you to a website where you can review it online. |
| |
Q: | How can I submit a proxy vote? |
A: | You may submit a proxy vote through U.S. mail, over the telephone, or online, based on the instructions contained in the proxy statement.
