We have adjourned the special meeting of shareholders because we have not received the required number of votes to approve reclassifying the diversification status of the fund from diversified to non-diversified by eliminating the related fundamental policy. Until we receive a sufficient number of votes, the fund may continue to incur solicitation costs. You may think your vote is not important, but the only way to pass the proposal, which would provide the fund's portfolio managers with increased investment flexibility and the potential for better investment performance, is to vote your shares.
As a shareholder, you have the right to consider the proposal and vote your shares. Please take a few minutes to vote by mailing your proxy card, or calling the toll-free number or visiting the website indicated on your proxy card.
If you have already voted, thank you for your response. If you have further questions, please call 1-877-208-0098.

Title: Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund
Subheadline: Portfolio Managers Kyle Weaver and Becky Baker discuss an important proxy vote
[Kyle Weaver] Hi - I'm Kyle Weaver
[Becky Baker] And I'm Becky Baker. We are the portfolio managers of the Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund.
As you may be aware, Fidelity is proposing to reclassify our fund as non-diversified, and we are actively seeking shareholder votes for the proposal.
We believe, and the Board of Trustees agrees, that this reclassification is in the best interest of the fund and its shareholders.
[Kyle] Importantly, this would give us increased flexibility in the management of the fund and provide the potential for better investment performance.
We want to ensure that you are aware of this proposal.
The email that accompanies this video includes a link to proxy details.
[Becky] Thank you, as always, for the confidence you have placed in us and in Fidelity.
