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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended July 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® Blue Chip Growth | 7.79% | -4.36% | 8.50% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Blue Chip Growth Fund on July 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500 IndexSM (S&P 500®) did over the same period.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from John McDowell, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Blue Chip Growth Fund
U.S. equity markets reversed course during the 12 months ending July 31, 2004. In the first half of the period, stocks rose as investors grew more confident about the recovering economy. Speculative, high-growth industries such as semiconductors and biotechnology led the charge early on. In the second half, though, the less glamorous but steadier growth of household and personal product companies, among others, gained favor against a backdrop of near-record-high prices for oil and gasoline, concerns about rising interest rates and threats of terrorism. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular benchmark of commonly held stocks - reflects the equity markets' reversal well. In the first half of the period, the S&P 500® gained 15.23%. But the benchmark lost 1.78% in the second half. For the 12 months overall, the S&P 500 climbed 13.17%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM - a performance measure of 30 large-cap stocks - rose 12.11%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.29%, despite losing 8.45% in the past six months.
The fund gained 7.79% during the past year, trailing its growth benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which rose 8.51%, the LipperSM Growth Funds Average, which returned 9.95%, and the S&P 500 index. With the economy in recovery mode during the first seven months of the period, lower-quality stocks generally showed rapid earnings growth and led the market upward. In this environment, the fund's continued focus on higher-quality, well-established growth companies was a drag on performance. During the past five months, however, concerns about rising interest rates pressured the market. Also, since profit margins had recovered, investors feared that rapid earnings gains from lower-quality companies would be more difficult to sustain. As a result, the high-quality bias of our holdings led to relative gains versus our growth benchmark in the latter part of the period. Surging crude oil prices boosted such energy holdings as Schlumberger, while industrial cyclicals Tyco International and General Electric benefited from a firming economy and improving balance sheets. Other standouts included consumer products giant Gillette and telecommunications equipment maker Ericsson. Conversely, media holdings such as Viacom detracted amid a slower-than-expected pickup in ad spending. Major drug companies Merck and Wyeth also hurt, as did capital-markets-sensitive financials such as Citigroup and semiconductor stocks such as Intersil.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value February 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value July 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 957.20 | $ 3.46 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,021.43 | $ 3.57 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .71%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Annual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 4,637,469 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,293,600) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 3,343,869 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 48,785 | |
| | |
Capital loss carryforward | (2,889,394) | |

| July 31, 2004 | July 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 122,754 | $ 67,396 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $5,605,331 and $4,865,220, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .41% of the fund's average net assets.
Sales Load. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, is the general distributor of the fund. Shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990 are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption. For the period, FDC received deferred sales charges of $18 on redemption of shares of the fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .25% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $5,226 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $152 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $1,769 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody and transfer agent expenses by $1 and $161, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Securities Fund and Shareholders of Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund, including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund as of July 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended July 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Life of FundA |

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Blue Chip Value on June 17, 2003. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Russell 1000® Value Index did over the same period.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Brian Hogan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Blue Chip Value Fund
U.S. equity markets reversed course during the 12 months that ended July 31, 2004. In the first half of the period, stocks rose as investors grew more confident about the recovering economy. Speculative, high-growth industries such as semiconductors and biotechnology led the charge early on. In the second half, though, the less glamorous but steadier growth of household and personal product companies, among others, gained favor against a backdrop of near-record-high prices for oil and gasoline, concerns about rising interest rates and threats of terrorism. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular benchmark of commonly held stocks - reflects the equity markets' reversal well. In the first six months of the period, the S&P 500® gained 15.23%. But the benchmark lost 1.78% in the second half of the period. For the 12 months overall, the S&P 500 climbed 13.17%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM - a performance measure of 30 large-cap, blue-chip stocks - rose 12.11%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ® Composite Index returned 9.29%, despite losing 8.45% in the past six months.
For the one-year period that ended July 31, 2004, the fund posted a gain of 16.16%. During the same time period, the Russell 1000® Value Index returned 17.68%, while the LipperSM Growth Funds Average returned 9.95%. The fund's underperformance of its index during the time period was due primarily to its underweighted position in Exxon Mobil. The company's stock greatly benefited from rising oil and natural gas prices, so the underweighting was a big disappointment relative to the benchmark. Pharmaceutical giant Merck was another detractor. The market revalued the stock as the company's earnings growth prospects were viewed as more challenging than previously thought due to excess inventory and the discontinuance of two late-stage drug trials. On the positive side, Tyco International was the top contributor to fund returns. The company has been a terrific turnaround story, and the market rewarded the stock for the firm's reduced debt, improved balance sheet and for generating significantly more cash flow than was expected by cutting operating costs. Nucor Corporation, the largest U.S. steel maker, also added value. Its stock rose as the company significantly exceeded consensus earnings estimates due to better-than-expected pricing and continued strong demand for its products.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Beginning Account Value February 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value July 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 991.20 | $ 5.30 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,019.61 | $ 5.39 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.07%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Blue Chip Value Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income and realized gain for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $100,885,311 and $55,526,554, respectively.
Annual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. The fund's performance adjustment took effect in June 2004. Subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .57% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .27% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $3,808 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,226 for the period.
Annual Report
5. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $17,680 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $27.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended July 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® Dividend Growth Fund | 8.27% | 0.72% | 14.13% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Dividend Growth Fund on July 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index did over the same period.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Charles Mangum, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Dividend Growth Fund
U.S. equity markets reversed course during the 12 months ending July 31, 2004. In the first half of the period, stocks rose as investors grew more confident about the recovering economy. Speculative, high-growth industries such as semiconductors and biotechnology led the charge early on. In the second half, though, the less glamorous but steadier growth of household and personal product companies, among others, gained favor against a backdrop of near-record-high prices for oil and gasoline, concerns about rising interest rates and threats of terrorism. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular benchmark of commonly held stocks - reflects the equity markets' reversal well. In the first half of the period, the S&P 500® gained 15.23%. But the benchmark lost 1.78% in the second half. For the 12 months overall, the S&P 500 climbed 13.17%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM - a performance measure of 30 large-cap, blue-chip stocks - rose 12.11%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.29%, despite losing 8.45% in the past six months.
The fund gained 8.27% during the past year, trailing the LipperSM Growth Funds Average, which rose 9.95%, and the S&P 500 index. I continued to focus on owning companies that historically have generated good returns and had solid long-term growth prospects. Unfortunately, this strategy didn't bear fruit in 2003 and early 2004 amid a strong upturn in the market led by smaller-cap, lower-quality cyclical stocks with high valuations and low dividend yields. However, as the period progressed and stocks retreated, we saw signs of a shift in market leadership, with steady growing, big-cap names getting much more attention from investors. While that climate change was favorable for the fund, it still struggled due to some poor picks in the flagging health care sector. One major holding, drug wholesaler Cardinal Health, did most of the damage both in absolute terms and versus the index. The stock plunged in July after the company lowered its earnings guidance and disclosed a widening government probe into its accounting practices. Other disappointments included overweighting big drug makers, such as Wyeth, and media names, such as radio broadcaster Clear Channel Communications. Conversely, underweighting weak technology stocks boosted relative returns, as did some good picks in consumer staples and capital goods, led by pharmacy chain CVS and industrial conglomerate Tyco International, companies that made significant strides in strengthening their businesses.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Beginning Account Value February 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value July 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 955.40 | $ 4.13 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,020.72 | $ 4.28 |
*Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .85%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Dividend Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Annual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 1,622,105 |
Unrealized depreciation | (1,207,052) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 415,053 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 80,754 |
Capital loss carryforward | (195,547) |
| |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 17,995,302 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| July 31, 2004 | July 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 142,749 | $ 128,580 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

Futures Contracts - continued
of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $7,538,813 and $6,460,873, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ±.20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .65% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except

Transfer Agent Fees - continued
proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .23% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $6,133 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $359 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
7. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $19,938. The weighted average interest rate was 1.56%. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $1,837 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's expenses by $119.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended July 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® Growth & Income Portfolio | 9.24% | -1.57% | 10.18% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity ® Growth & Income Portfolio on July 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index did over the same period.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
An interview with Steve Kaye, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Growth & Income Portfolio
U.S. equity markets reversed course during the 12 months that ended July 31, 2004. In the first half of the period, stocks rose as investors grew more confident about the recovering economy. Speculative, high-growth industries such as semiconductors and biotechnology led the charge early on. In the second half, though, the less glamorous but steadier growth of household and personal product companies, among others, gained favor against a backdrop of near-record-high prices for oil and gasoline, concerns about rising interest rates and threats of terrorism. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular benchmark of commonly held stocks - reflects the equity markets' reversal well. In the first six months of the period, the S&P 500® gained 15.23%. But the benchmark lost 1.78% in the second half of the period. For the 12 months overall, the S&P 500 climbed 13.17%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM - a performance measure of 30 large-cap, blue-chip stocks - rose 12.11%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.29%, despite losing 8.45% in the past six months.
Growth & Income Portfolio had a solid absolute return of 9.24% for the year ending July 31, 2004, but trailed the S&P 500 index and the 13.29% return of the LipperSM Growth & Income Funds Average. Nearly all of the underperformance occurred in the final months of 2003, as the fund underweighted lower-quality, small- and midcap technology stocks that led the market rally. However, that positioning helped in the latter half of the period when tech stocks retreated. Unfortunately, the reverse was true for brokerage stocks. Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley performed very well for the fund in 2003, but have suffered so far in 2004. Underweighting banks also hurt: Minimal exposure to strong performers FleetBoston - an acquisition target of Bank of America - and Countrywide Financial was disappointing. Student loan lender SLM, better known as Sallie Mae, was the biggest individual relative and absolute detractor. On the upside, the fund's energy stocks - including BP, Exxon Mobil and Apache - did well as the price of oil skyrocketed. Health care stocks Zimmer Holdings, a maker of reconstructive implants such as artificial hips and knees, and Alcon, one of the world's leading eye care companies, also boosted performance.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Beginning Account Value February 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value July 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period * February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 986.60 | $ 3.51 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,021.43 | $ 3.57 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .71%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $8,792,156 and $8,744,144, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .48% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .21% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $10,973 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $319 for the period.
Annual Report
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $2,665 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $1.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Tom Soviero, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Leveraged Company Stock Fund
U.S. equity markets reversed course during the 12 months that ended July 31, 2004. In the first half of the period, stocks rose as investors grew more confident about the recovering economy. Speculative, high-growth industries such as semiconductors and biotechnology led the charge early on. In the second half, though, the less glamorous but steadier growth of household and personal product companies, among others, gained favor against a backdrop of near-record-high prices for oil and gasoline, concerns about rising interest rates and threats of terrorism. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular benchmark of commonly held stocks - reflects the equity markets' reversal well. In the first six months of the period, the S&P 500® gained 15.23%. But the benchmark lost 1.78% in the second half of the period. For the 12 months overall, the S&P 500 climbed 13.17%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM - a performance measure of 30 large-cap, blue-chip stocks - rose 12.11%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.29%, despite losing 8.45% in the past six months.
Fidelity Leveraged Company Stock Fund returned 37.27% during the past 12 months, dramatically outperforming the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, the Credit Suisse First Boston Leveraged Equity Index and the LipperSM Capital Appreciation Funds Average, which returned 13.17%, 23.55% and 8.01%, respectively. Strong stock selection in the energy and utilities sectors was the main driver of the fund's performance, as was the fund's heavy concentration in some top performers. Stock selection and an underweighting relative to the index in the technology sector detracted from the fund's performance relative to the S&P 500. Stocks that helped performance included shipping companies Teekay Shipping and General Maritime, international energy company AES, oil and gas producer Range Resources and industrial conglomerate Tyco International. Detractors from performance included satellite TV provider EchoStar Communications, ON Semiconductor and circuit board manufacturer DDi.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value February 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value July 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period * February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,002.00 | $ 4.38 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,020.57 | $ 4.43 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .88%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

D Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.
E For the period December 19, 2000 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2001.
F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund.
G Effective August 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Leveraged Company Stock Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign Currency - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income and realized gain for income tax purposes.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 356,117 |
Unrealized depreciation | (102,581) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 253,536 |
Undistributed ordinary income | 39,089 |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 32,552 |

Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,299,945 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| July 31, 2004 | July 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 14,471 | $ - |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $983,833 and $420,366, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .35% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .63% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .19% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $770 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $59 for the period.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 4,572 | 1.13% | $ 1 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the

securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $349 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $2.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended July 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® OTC Portfolio | 7.41% | -4.54% | 9.98% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity ® OTC Portfolio on July 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have grown, and also shows how the NASDAQ Composite® Index did over the same period.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Shep Perkins, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® OTC Portfolio
U.S. equity markets reversed course during the 12 months ending July 31, 2004. In the first half of the period, stocks rose as investors grew more confident about the recovering economy. Speculative, high-growth industries such as semiconductors and biotechnology led the charge early on. In the second half, though, the less glamorous but steadier growth of household and personal product companies, among others, gained favor against a backdrop of near-record-high prices for oil and gasoline, concerns about rising interest rates and threats of terrorism. The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a popular benchmark of commonly held stocks - reflects the equity markets' reversal well. In the first half of the period, the S&P 500® gained 15.23%. But the benchmark lost 1.78% in the second half. For the year overall, the S&P 500 climbed 13.17%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM - a performance measure of 30 large-cap, blue-chip stocks - rose 12.11%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.29%, despite losing 8.45% in the past six months.
The fund was up 7.41% during the past year, trailing the NASDAQ® and the LipperSM Mid-Cap Funds Average, which rose 13.79%. While my decision to become more aggressive paid off amid the strong cyclical rally in first half of the period, it hurt returns even more in the second half as riskier assets underperformed. I suspect the fund's hefty stake in technology was a big reason why the fund lagged its peer group average. Among our biggest contributors versus the index were software-related holdings that enjoyed new product cycles, including Autodesk and Red Hat. Another bright spot was Internet and technology services, where Yahoo! and Cognizant were standouts. In addition, several hardware and equipment firms - including cell phone giant Motorola and telecom gear maker Ericsson - were helped by cost cutting and resurging demand for wireless communications. Owning the right names in telecom services, specifically wireless provider Nextel, also contributed. Conversely, the fund was hurt by weak networking stocks, such as CIENA, as well as hard disk drive manufacturers Seagate Technology, Maxtor and Western Digital, a group burdened by overcapacity. Stock selection in semiconductors also detracted, led by disappointing performance from Agere and Conexant. I also had some poor picks in retailing and banks, including e-commerce giant InterActiveCorp and Fifth Third Bancorp.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Beginning Account Value February 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value July 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 904.30 | $ 4.31 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,020.42 | $ 4.58 |
*Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .91%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity OTC Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $4,694,539 and $5,014,295, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .35% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR.

to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .64% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.

For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .24% of average net assets.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates.

5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $5,131. The weighted average interest rate was 1.50%.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $1,607 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody and transfer agent expenses by $2 and $61, respectively.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity OTC Portfolio as of July 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

Annual Report
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Mark Snyderman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Real Estate Income Fund
Real estate securities - along with the broader U.S. equity market - reversed course during the 12 months that ended July 31, 2004. In the first half of the period, real estate stocks and fixed-income real estate securities performed above their historical averages amid a positive economic climate characterized by low interest rates and improving sector fundamentals. In the second half, though, expectations of rising interest rates dampened the returns of real estate sector bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), while concerns about rising valuations held back the performance of real estate common stocks. Overall, however, real estate stocks were a bright spot during the past year, as evidenced by the 22.86% return for the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities IndexSM (full-cap), though the index's gains were mostly achieved during the first half of the period. Comparatively, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, a popular benchmark of the broader equity market, climbed 13.17%, despite having a negative return during the past six months. Elsewhere, the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index, a proxy for the high-yield corporate bond market, was up 13.19%, while the Merrill Lynch Real Estate Corporate Bond Index advanced 6.25%.
Against this backdrop, Fidelity Real Estate Income Fund returned 11.31%, outperforming the 6.77% return for the Fidelity Real Estate Income Composite Index - a 50/50 blend of the Morgan Stanley® REIT Preferred Index and the Merrill Lynch Real Estate Corporate Bond Index. Good security selection helped the fund's holdings in both real estate investment trust (REIT) preferred stocks and real estate bonds handily outperform their respective components of the composite benchmark. The fund's return trailed the 21.60% advance of the LipperSM Real Estate Funds Average, principally because the majority of the fund's peers owned primarily common stocks. However, the fund's collective holdings in each of five security types - REIT common stocks, REIT preferred stocks, REIT bonds, CMBS and real estate company bonds - produced a double-digit return. Specifically, a J.P. Morgan-issued CMBS performed well because the credit fundamentals of the security turned out to be better than the market expected. Elsewhere, the common stock of Acadia Realty, a strip mall REIT, performed well due to the company's strong earnings growth. On the downside, a common stock position in Apartment Investment & Management was hurt by disappointing earnings. Further, certain Healthcare Realty Trust bonds suffered from an uptick in interest rates.
The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value February 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value July 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* February 1, 2004 to July 31, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,017.00 | $ 4.21 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,020.77 | $ 4.23 |
*Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .84%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Real Estate Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Securities Fund (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of

cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net investment income for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 14,082,495 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,945,144) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 9,137,351 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 6,586,620 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 4,217,561 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 409,970,699 | |

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| July 31, 2004 | July 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 19,200,804 | $ 739,035 |
Long-Term Capital Gain | 308,700 | - |
Total | $ 19,509,504 | $ 739,035 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $384,790,732 and $210,361,829, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $240,800 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $24,178 for the period.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $24,282 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $4,056.

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