Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Canada Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Canada, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $406,595,774 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (23,352,087) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $383,243,687 |
Tax cost | $463,054,261 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Canada Fund | 22,018,184 | 77,556,758 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Canada as compared to its benchmark index, the S&P/TSX Composite Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .55% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $35,118 | $548 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 17,269 | 223 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 16,153 | 976 |
| | | $68,540 | $1,747 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $2,037 |
Class M | 322 |
Class C(a) | 86 |
| $2,445 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $36,109 | .26 |
Class M | 9,639 | .28 |
Class C | 4,449 | .28 |
Canada | 676,641 | .19 |
Class I | 5,850 | .12 |
Class Z | 3,885 | .04 |
| $736,573 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Canada Fund | .05 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Canada Fund | – | 13,889,246 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Canada Fund | $759 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Canada Fund | $1,492 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $5,192 for the period.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $1,165.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1.��Organization.
Fidelity China Region Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, China Region, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $876,136,430 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (74,102,533) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $802,033,897 |
Tax cost | $1,760,749,657 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity China Region Fund | 925,389,111 | 478,660,590 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .68% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $65,824 | $2,467 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 39,576 | 641 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 76,733 | 17,438 |

7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity China Region Fund | $29,056 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $64,114 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $3.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $2,991.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences resulted in distribution reclassifications for the period ended October 31, 2020.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $821,099,765 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (131,086,398) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $690,013,367 |
Tax cost | $2,353,105,347 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | 1,637,262,983 | 844,234,261 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index, over the same 36 month performance period). For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .78% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .15% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | .04 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | $10,395 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | Borrower | $8,688,000 | .29% | $1,536 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | 91,347,300 | 12,939,539 |
Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $2,452.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | $2,331 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | $25,781 | $21,722 | $– |
8. Bank Borrowings.
The Fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity requirements. 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. Any open loans, including accrued interest, at period end are presented under the caption "Notes payable" in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Emerging Asia Fund | $6,991,375 | .56% | $874 |
9. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $304,611 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $11.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $3,102.
10. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Emerging Markets and Class K shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .68% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of Emerging Markets, except for Class K. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class K's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Emerging Markets | $4,529,185 | .16 |
Class K | 326,935 | .04 |
| $4,856,120 | |
(a) Annualized

Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund | .02 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund | $4,184 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund | 58,812,786 | 4,280,787 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund | $6,956 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund | $639 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $477,828 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $408.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $9,990.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates, in aggregate, were the owners of record of more than 20% of the total outstanding shares.

12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
13. Reorganization.
Subsequent to period end, on May 14, 2021, the Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees ("the Board"). In addition, the Board approved the creation of additional classes of shares that commenced operations on May 11, 2021. The reorganization was accomplished by an exchange of each class of Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund for corresponding shares then outstanding of the Target Fund at their net asset value on the reorganization date. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. The Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund net assets of $78,683,491, including securities of $56,236,270 and unrealized appreciation of $7,237,677, were combined with Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund net assets of $7,934,554,249 for total net assets after the reorganization of $8,013,237,740.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Europe Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Europe, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $221,313,919 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (24,680,537) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $196,633,382 |
Tax cost | $878,797,878 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Long-term | $(4,256,530) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Europe Fund | 276,934,961 | 286,272,079 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Europe as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI Europe Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .86% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $34,619 | $978 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 15,932 | 257 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 31,625 | 2,538 |
| | | $82,176 | $3,773 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $2,615 |
Class M | 341 |
Class C(a) | 151 |
| $3,107 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $28,156 | .20 |
Class M | 8,797 | .28 |
Class C | 8,670 | .27 |
Europe | 704,600 | .16 |
Class I | 13,393 | .15 |
Class Z | 5,239 | .04 |
| $768,855 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Europe Fund | .05 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Europe Fund | 425,117 | – |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Europe Fund | $954 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Europe Fund | $732 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $76,204 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $2.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $1,447.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Japan Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Japan, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $243,792,113 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (18,157,600) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $225,634,513 |
Tax cost | $529,506,039 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Japan Fund | 130,770,522 | 261,563,884 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Japan as compared to its benchmark index, the TOPIX, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .83% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $23,356 | $373 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 10,902 | 176 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 34,865 | 3,123 |
| | | $69,123 | $3,672 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $3,314 |
Class M | 181 |
Class C(a) | 91 |
| $3,586 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $20,659 | .22 |
Class M | 6,134 | .28 |
Class C | 6,220 | .18 |
Japan | 264,544 | .18 |
Class I | 332,339 | .12 |
Class Z | 2,405 | .04 |
| $632,301 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Japan Fund | .05 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Japan Fund | Borrower | $13,215,867 | .30% | $1,638 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Japan Fund | $875 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Japan Fund | $130 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $66,428 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $12.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $1,339.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $133,637,139 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (20,876,414) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $112,760,725 |
Tax cost | $388,578,599 |
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund | 79,361,892 | 127,441,688 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .68% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .15% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund | .05 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund | $543 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund | $4,265 | $– | $– |
8. Bank Borrowings.
The Fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity requirements. 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. Any open loans, including accrued interest, at period end are presented under the caption "Notes payable" in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund | $395,000 | .59% | $22 |
9. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $44,404 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $1.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $829.
10. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.
| Strategic Advisers International Fund |
Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund | 24% |
Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates, in aggregate, were the owners of record of more than 20% of the total outstanding shares.

11. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Latin America Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Latin America, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $68,870,383 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (65,563,915) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $3,306,468 |
Tax cost | $362,331,962 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(38,986,386) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Latin America Fund | 70,031,295 | 92,580,914 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .68% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $14,459 | $659 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 8,880 | 349 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 4,433 | 577 |
| | | $27,772 | $1,585 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $4,963 |
Class M | 182 |
Class C(a) | 76 |
| $5,221 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $15,760 | .27 |

| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Latin America Fund | .05 |

The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |

Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Latin America Fund | 796,570 | 2,304,873 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Latin America Fund | $371 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Latin America Fund | $5,523 | $8 | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
During the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $605.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Nordic Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $108,980,263 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (7,637,205) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $101,343,058 |
Tax cost | $316,197,247 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Nordic Fund | 100,513,455 | 84,706,630 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .68% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .16% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Nordic Fund | .05 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Nordic Fund | Borrower | $6,987,333 | .29% | $169 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Nordic Fund | $355 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Nordic Fund | $4,717 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $51,859 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $5.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $535.
9. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $514,468,787 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (36,467,769) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $478,001,018 |
Tax cost | $836,775,773 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund | 306,128,565 | 255,511,220 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country Pacific Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .82% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .14% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund | .05 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund | $282 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund | 4,868,501 | – |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund | $1,249 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund | $191 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $96,235 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $26.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $1,834.
9. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.
| Strategic Advisers Fidelity International Fund |
Fidelity Pacific Basin Fund | 17% |
Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates, in aggregate, were the owners of record of more than 20% of the total outstanding shares.

10. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Targeted International Equity Funds
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of each fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under each fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of each fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on each fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that each fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of each fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for each fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing each fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the funds) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that each fund's management fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the funds' Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Fidelity Diversified International Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Diversified International and Class K shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates 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.
Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions arise from the disposition of foreign currency, realized changes in the value of foreign currency between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the value of foreign currency, and from assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than investments, which are held at period end.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for certain Funds, certain independent Trustees have elected to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in affiliated mutual funds, are marked-to-market and remain in a fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees presented below are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities in other receivables and other payables and accrued expenses, as applicable.
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | $2,126,858 |
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), redemptions in kind, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $5,890,187,071 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (112,636,136) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $5,777,550,935 |
Tax cost | $8,926,666,612 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including forward foreign currency contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Fund used derivatives to increase returns to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.
The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:
Foreign Exchange Risk | Foreign exchange rate risk relates to fluctuations in the value of an asset or liability due to changes in currency exchange rates. |
The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain OTC derivatives such as forward foreign currency contracts, the Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the Fund the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement upon the deterioration in the credit quality of the counterparty beyond specified levels. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party the right, upon an event of default by the other party or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each transaction to one net payable by one party to the other.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. The Fund used forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to manage exposure to certain foreign currencies.
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily and fluctuations in exchange rates on open contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) and reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the closing value and the value at the time it was opened. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations.
Any open forward foreign currency contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts." The contract amount and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying currency at period end.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | 2,501,449,687 | 2,903,186,685 |
Unaffiliated Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 5,934,324 shares of the Fund were redeemed in-kind for investments and cash with a value of $290,508,051. The net realized gain of $146,254,949 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of the in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as the Notes to Financial Statements. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
Prior Fiscal Year Unaffiliated Redemptions In-Kind. During the prior period, 10,333,035 shares of the Fund were redeemed in-kind for investments and cash with a value of $388,760,021. The Fund has a net realized gain of $142,444,028 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions. The amount of the in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as the Notes to Financial Statements. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Diversified International as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .84% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of Diversified International, except for Class K. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class K's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Diversified International | $7,962,949 | .15 |
Class K | 875,078 | .04 |
| $8,838,027 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | .01 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | $3,281 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | 20,414,055 | 68,136,083 |
Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $129,138.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | $14,538 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | $3,798 | $– | $– |
9. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $645,394 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $221.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $22,075.

12. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.

13. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $1,364,665,372 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (52,401,113) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $1,312,264,259 |
Tax cost | $4,149,790,185 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | 4,358,638,965 | 4,390,175,201 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .80% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .15% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | .03 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | $14,568 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | Borrower | $24,348,684 | .31% | $4,036 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | 163,602,558 | 191,968,423 |
Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $517,647.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | $5,147 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | $2,807 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $998,118 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $27.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $7,654.
9. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.
| Strategic Advisers Fidelity International Fund |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation Fund | 31% |
Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates, in aggregate, were the owners of record of more than 20% of the total outstanding shares.

10. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Overseas Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Overseas and Class K shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for certain Funds, certain independent Trustees have elected to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in affiliated mutual funds, are marked-to-market and remain in a fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees presented below are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities in other receivables and other payables and accrued expenses, as applicable.
Fidelity Overseas Fund | $407,754 |
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $3,156,676,919 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (111,151,741) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $3,045,525,178 |
Tax cost | $6,037,350,683 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Overseas Fund | 1,443,241,400 | 1,367,391,645 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Overseas as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .82% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of Overseas, except for Class K. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class K's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Overseas | $5,181,101 | .14 |
Class K | 272,245 | .04 |
| $5,453,346 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Overseas Fund | .02 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Overseas Fund | $2,817 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Overseas Fund | Borrower | $11,376,571 | .32% | $710 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Overseas Fund | 71,754,081 | 113,781,458 |
Affiliated Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, the Fund received investments, including cash valued at $98,196,961 in exchange for 1,544,949 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as the Notes to Financial Statements.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Overseas Fund | $8,156 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Overseas Fund | $214 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $742,807 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $31.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $12,292.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.

12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Worldwide Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Worldwide, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $987,218,270 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (25,239,244) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $961,979,026 |
Tax cost | $2,030,294,577 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Worldwide Fund | 1,678,705,431 | 1,716,138,392 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Worldwide as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI World Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .81% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $97,710 | $4,223 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 51,090 | 429 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 66,316 | 8,424 |
| | | $215,116 | $13,076 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $28,321 |
Class M | 2,140 |
Class C(a) | 848 |
| $31,309 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $72,002 | .18 |
Class M | 20,707 | .20 |
Class C | 15,379 | .23 |
Worldwide | 1,955,942 | .15 |
Class I | 60,287 | .17 |
Class Z | 18,908 | .04 |
| $2,143,225 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Worldwide Fund | .03 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Worldwide Fund | 90,444,249 | 105,853,834 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Worldwide Fund | $27,821 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Worldwide Fund | $2,776 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Worldwide Fund | $3,537 | $93 | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $138,907 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $65.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $4,165.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
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.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Broadly Diversified International Equity Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of each fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under each fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of each fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on each fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that each fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of each fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for each fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing each fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the funds) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that each fund's management fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the funds' Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $23,627,727 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (1,231,038) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $22,396,689 |
Tax cost | $56,972,923 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(8,146,534) |
Long-term | (8,298,578) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(16,445,112) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .78% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $337 |
Class M | 162 |

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund | $72 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Fund | $34 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse expenses of each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of class-level average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through February 28, 2022. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement |
Class A | 1.55% | $2,877 |

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
13. Reorganization.
Subsequent to period end, on May 14, 2021, Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Fund pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees ("the Board"). In addition, the Board approved the creation of additional classes of shares that commenced operations on May 11, 2021. The reorganization was accomplished by an exchange of each class of Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund for corresponding shares then outstanding of the Fund at their net asset value on the reorganization date. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. The Fund's net assets of $78,683,491 including securities of $56,236,270 and unrealized appreciation of $7,237,677, were combined with Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund net assets of $7,934,554,249 for total net assets after the reorganization of $8,013,237,740.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, International Small Cap, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs, futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $746,983,387 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (159,249,047) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $587,734,340 |

Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of International Small Cap as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Small Cap Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .79% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $139,758 | $2,857 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 40,021 | 278 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 106,668 | 13,836 |
| | | $286,447 | $16,971 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $15,797 |
Class M | 1,528 |
Class C(a) | 1,198 |
| $18,523 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $111,246 | .20 |
Class M | 18,421 | .23 |
Class C | 22,083 | .21 |

Fidelity International Small Cap Fund | .04 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund | $221 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund | 1,785,676 | – |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund | $2,558 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund | $269 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $209,068 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $7.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $3,823.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |

A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity International Small Cap Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, International Small Cap Opportunities, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Effective after the close of business on May 31, 2019, the Fund was closed to new accounts with certain exceptions. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
ETFs are valued at their last sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day but the exchange reports a closing bid level, ETFs are valued at the closing bid and would be categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there was no closing bid, ETFs may be valued by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies and may be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $763,462,834 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (33,750,328) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $729,712,506 |
Tax cost | $920,141,424 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(13,871,542) |
Long-term | (20,156,651) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(34,028,193) |
The Fund elected to defer to its next fiscal year approximately $3,592,305 of ordinary losses recognized during the period January 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund | 95,782,533 | 150,791,265 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of International Small Cap Opportunities as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .98% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $53,584 | $526 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 37,056 | 591 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 38,416 | 1,229 |
| | | $129,056 | $2,346 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $1,320 |
Class M | 237 |
Class C(a) | 123 |
| $1,680 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $43,992 | .21 |
Class M | 15,794 | .21 |
Class C | 8,587 | .22 |
International Small Cap Opportunities | 1,037,892 | .16 |
Class I | 109,082 | .17 |
Class Z | 17,314 | .04 |
| $1,232,661 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund | .04 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund | $125 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund | 3,392,523 | 1,988,360 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund | $1,551 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund | $3,008 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $30,848 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $5.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $2,372.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity International Value Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, International Value, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01 % |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $130,341,973 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (40,195,840) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $90,146,133 |
Tax cost | $518,196,587 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(13,358,997) |
Long-term | (39,584,822) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(52,943,819) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Value Fund | 70,230,936 | 54,858,321 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of International Value as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Value Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .75% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $9,608 | $779 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 9,418 | 211 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 18,280 | 2,767 |
| | | $37,306 | $3,757 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $3,424 |
Class M | 711 |
Class C(a) | 126 |
| $4,261 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net AssetsA |
Class A | $10,276 | .27 |
Class M | 5,217 | .28 |
Class C | 5,003 | .27 |
International Value | 401,460 | .15 |
Class I | 7,676 | .15 |
Class Z | 982 | .04 |
| $430,614 | |
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity International Value Fund | .05 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Value Fund | $74 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Value Fund | – | 817,607 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity International Value Fund | $521 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity International Value Fund | $260 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse expenses of each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of class-level average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.
| Strategic Advisers Fidelity International Fund | VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio |

12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity International Value Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
1. Organization.
Fidelity International Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, International Discovery, Class K, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for certain Funds, certain independent Trustees have elected to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in affiliated mutual funds, are marked-to-market and remain in a fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees presented below are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities in other receivables and other payables and accrued expenses, as applicable.
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | $649 |
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), certain foreign taxes, market discount, redemptions in-kind, deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $3,628,150 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (95,388) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $3,532,762 |
Tax cost | $7,363,166 |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .424% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of International Discovery as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .83% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $253 | $3 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 62 | 1 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 61 | 6 |
| | | $376 | $10 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $6 |
Class M | 1 |
Class C(a) | 1 |
| $8 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class K and Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class K's and Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each applicable class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $221 | .22 |
Class M | 27 | .21 |
Class C | 17 | .28 |
International Discovery | 5,417 | .13 |
Class K | 350 | .04 |
Class I | 359 | .16 |
Class Z | 14 | .04 |
| $6,405 | |
(a) Annualized

| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | .02 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | $5 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | Borrower | $63,582 | .33% | $2 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | 24,143 | 87,718 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | $10 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | $9 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $661 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by less than five hundred dollars.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $15.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.
| Strategic Advisers Fidelity International Fund | Strategic Advisers International Fund |
Fidelity International Discovery Fund | 20% | 11% |

12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |

A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity International Discovery Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Total International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Total International Equity, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $36,534,013 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (3,377,577) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $33,156,436 |
Tax cost | $76,722,430 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Total International Equity Fund | 22,258,107 | 21,377,819 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Total International Equity as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .87% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets.

6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Total International Equity Fund | $100 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Total International Equity Fund | $20 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse expenses of each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of class-level average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, are excluded from this reimbursement.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
**If fees and changes to the class level expense contract and/ or expense cap, effective June 1, 2021, had been in effect during the current period, the restated annualized expense ratio and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been as shown in table below:
| Annualized Expense Ratio-(a) | Expenses Paid |
Fidelity Total International Equity Fund | | |
Class Z | .90% | |
Actual | | $5.09 |
Hypothetical-(b) | | $4.51 |
(a) Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
(b) 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Total International Equity Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity International Growth Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, International Growth, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $2,011,215,831 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (31,964,403) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $1,979,251,428 |
Tax cost | $3,241,555,669 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(145,416,972) |
Long-term | (24,333,722) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(169,750,694) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Growth Fund | 621,144,532 | 620,537,306 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of International Growth as compared to its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .76% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $253,269 | $8,549 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 87,436 | 947 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 307,731 | 31,249 |
| | | $648,436 | $40,745 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $36,753 |
Class M | 2,385 |
Class C(a) | 2,269 |
| $41,407 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $202,704 | .20 |
Class M | 39,437 | .23 |
Class C | 67,773 | .22 |
International Growth | 1,208,317 | .16 |
Class I | 1,429,586 | .17 |
Class Z | 313,998 | .04 |
| $3,261,815 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity International Growth Fund | .03 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Growth Fund | $1,171 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Growth Fund | 23,835,845 | 17,358,467 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity International Growth Fund | $4,814 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity International Growth Fund | $2,104 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $115,221 for the period.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $7,314.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |

A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity International Growth Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, Fidelity Series International Growth Fund, Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund and Fidelity Series International Value Fund (the Funds) are funds of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares are offered only to certain other Fidelity funds and Fidelity managed 529 plans.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | .005% to .01 % |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
Each Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. Each Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of each Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of each Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by each Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, each Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees each Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing each Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances. ETFs are valued at their last sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day but the exchange reports a closing bid level, ETFs are valued at the closing bid and would be categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there was no closing bid, ETFs may be valued by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies and may be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and for certain Funds 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 Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Funds represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds determine the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund, Fidelity Series International Growth Fund and Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund are subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which they invest. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows for each Fund:
| Tax cost | Gross unrealized appreciation | Gross unrealized depreciation | Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund | $2,649,180,730 | $974,709,034 | $(65,164,772) | $909,544,262 |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund | 21,877,549,429 | 11,385,845,717 | (813,227,039) | 10,572,618,678 |
Fidelity Series International Growth Fund | 7,200,547,908 | 6,833,178,062 | (78,142,408) | 6,755,035,654 |

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds' investment objective allows the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Funds used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Funds may not achieve their objectives.
The Funds' use of derivatives increased or decreased their exposure to the following risk:
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
The Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Funds will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Funds used futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in the Fund's share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund | $8,088 | $– | $– |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund | $58,458 | $– | $– |
Fidelity Series International Growth Fund | $3,531 | $– | $– |
Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund | $5,499 | $– | $– |
Fidelity Series International Value Fund | $19,318 | $– | $– |
9. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each Fund to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through February 29, 2024. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain other expenses such as interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following Funds were in reimbursement during the period:
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund | .013% | $422,129 |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund | .013% | $2,960,777 |
In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Custodian credits |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund | $21 |
Fidelity Series International Growth Fund | 396 |
10. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, mutual funds and accounts managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Funds.
11. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Funds' performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund | .01% | | | |

Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,378.40 | $.06 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,024.74 | $.05 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Fund
Fidelity Series Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund
Fidelity Series International Growth Fund
Fidelity Series International Small Cap Fund
Fidelity Series International Value Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of each fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under each fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of each fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on each fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board noted that, effective August 1, 2020, the expense caps for each fund were lowered and that the expense cap arrangements were amended to remove certain exclusions. The Board concluded that each fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of each fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for each fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing each fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the funds) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that each fund's management fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the funds' Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Global Commodity Stock, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01 % |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $162,077,067 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (22,779,000) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $139,298,067 |
Tax cost | $612,017,922 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(33,422,798) |

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .67% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $8,612 |
Class M | 1,224 |
Class C(a) | 817 |

(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $34,193 | .22 |

Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund | .05 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser.

The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund | $2,837 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund | 13,656,157 | 596,575 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund | $472 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund | $212 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $42,135 for the period.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $673.

11. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the following mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 10% or more of the total outstanding shares.

12. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |

Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,486.20 | $5.05 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,020.73 | $4.11 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Global Commodity Stock Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Emerging Markets Discovery, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $90,335,387 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (16,987,226) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $73,348,161 |
Tax cost | $244,701,059 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(17,817,856) |
Long-term | (2,911,731) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(20,729,586) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.
The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period. Securities deposited to meet initial margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, are noted in the table below.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .60% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .83% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $18,487 | $529 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 13,470 | 100 |

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $5,433 |
Class M | 877 |
Class C(a) | 113 |
| $6,423 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $16,408 | .22 |
Class M | 7,072 | .26 |
Class C | 7,161 | .25 |
Emerging Markets Discovery | 196,556 | .17 |

| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund | .05 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund | $286 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund | 806,932 | 284,271 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund | $294 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund | $569 | $– | $– |
9. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $35,438 for the period.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $439.

12. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates, in aggregate, were the owners of record of more than 20% of the total outstanding shares.

13. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Total Emerging Markets, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of ten years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Effective June 21, 2021, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds, foreign government and government agency obligations, preferred securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $187,153,729 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (26,162,547) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $160,991,182 |
Tax cost | $485,999,511 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(47,423,169) |
Long-term | (10,131,007) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(57,554,177) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.
The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund | 184,820,877 | 215,033,786 |
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .55% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .78% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Total Fees | Retained by FDC |
Class A | -% | .25% | $56,263 | $1,490 |
Class M | .25% | .25% | 23,568 | 185 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 170,655 | 12,109 |
| | | $250,486 | $13,784 |
Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $15,737 |
Class M | 1,499 |
Class C(a) | 753 |
| $17,989 |
(a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of Class-Level Average Net Assets(a) |
Class A | $44,055 | .20 |
Class M | 11,695 | .25 |
Class C | 33,362 | .20 |
Total Emerging Markets | 232,593 | .20 |
Class I | 218,407 | .17 |
Class Z | 15,010 | .04 |
| $555,122 | |
(a) Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund | .05 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund | $929 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund | 3,164,103 | 2,045,509 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund | $637 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund | $253 | $– | $– |
9. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $74,653 for the period.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $956.
10. Distributions to Shareholders.

12. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
13. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Emerging Markets Discovery Fund
Fidelity Total Emerging Markets Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of each fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under each fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of each fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of each fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on each fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that each fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of each fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for each fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing each fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the funds) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that each fund's management fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the funds' Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.

The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated each Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $28,755,093 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (1,118,081) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $27,637,012 |
Tax cost | $59,620,491 |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund | 17,999,122 | 19,049,462 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .68% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .16% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund | .05 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund | $173 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund | 402,589 | 1,473,577 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund | $76 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund | $18 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $2,454 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $4.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $115.
Effective June 1, 2021, the investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse expenses to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded 1.05% of average net assets. This reimbursement will remain in place through February 28, 2022.
9. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund | 1.04% | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,268.70 | $5.85 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,019.64 | $5.21 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Global Equity Income Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Flex International Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund is available only to certain fee-based accounts and advisory programs offered by Fidelity. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $35,933,550 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (3,624,547) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $32,309,003 |
Tax cost | $109,341,655 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(4,995,229) |
Long-term | (990,159) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(5,985,388) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Flex International Fund | 32,453,134 | 21,918,627 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services and the Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Flex International Fund | $638 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Flex International Fund | 645,670 | 1,012,747 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $11.
8. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Flex International Fund | - %-C | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,284.60 | $--D |
Hypothetical-E | | $1,000.00 | $1,024.79 | $--D |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C Amount represents less than .005%.
D Amount represents less than $.005.
E 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Flex International Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Diversified International K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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. Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $1,148,826,161 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (32,860,804) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $1,115,965,357 |
Tax cost | $2,663,573,806 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(223,481,577) |
Long-term | (86,384,280) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(309,865,857) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Diversified International K6 Fund | 629,244,286 | 714,199,737 |
Unaffiliated Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, the Fund received investments and cash valued at $170,877,822 in exchange for 12,031,069 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .60% of average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Diversified International K6 Fund | $773 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Diversified International K6 Fund | 5,106,743 | 15,462,730 |
Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $30,810.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Diversified International K6 Fund | $963 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $157,254 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $7.
9. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Diversified International K6 Fund | .60% | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,198.20 | $3.27 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,021.82 | $3.01 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Diversified International K6 Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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. Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $220,412,816 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (9,392,977) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $211,019,839 |
Tax cost | $768,655,278 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(14,493,932) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation K6 Fund | 837,903,373 | 774,309,093 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .65% of average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation K6 Fund | $2,544 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation K6 Fund | Borrower | $5,045,167 | .30% | $509 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation K6 Fund | 33,436,348 | 35,075,617 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |

8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $186,198 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $51.
9. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation K6 Fund | .65% | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,184.50 | $3.52 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,021.57 | $3.26 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity International Capital Appreciation K6 Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Series Canada Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares are offered only to certain other Fidelity funds and Fidelity managed 529 plans. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01 % |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $1,308,241,626 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (77,505,852) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $1,230,735,774 |
Tax cost | $3,992,184,719 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(14,574,722) |
Long-term | (41,503,603) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(56,078,326) |
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Series Canada Fund | 236,401,269 | 518,545,624 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Series Canada Fund | $1 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, Fidelity Series Canada Fund had no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Series Canada Fund | Borrower | $33,630,500 | .32% | $3,537 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Series Canada Fund | 21,491,509 | 6,301,172 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Series Canada Fund | $16,599 | $– | $– |
8. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, mutual funds and accounts managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Series Canada Fund | - %-C | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,389.30 | $--D |
Hypothetical-E | | $1,000.00 | $1,024.79 | $--D |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C Amount represents less than .005%.
D Amount represents less than $.005.
E 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Series Canada Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board noted that, effective August 1, 2020, the expense cap for the fund was lowered and that the expense cap arrangements were amended to remove certain exclusions. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity SAI International SMA Completion Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares are offered exclusively to certain clients of Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) or its affiliates. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $96,659,789 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (10,638,565) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $86,021,224 |
Tax cost | $348,896,026 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(2,874,207) |
Long-term | (80,338) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(2,954,545) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.
The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:
Equity Risk | Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment. |
The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations.
Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". The notional amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end and is representative of volume of activity during the period.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity SAI International SMA Completion Fund | 151,648,040 | 80,856,755 |
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services and the Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity SAI International SMA Completion Fund | $33 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity SAI International SMA Completion Fund | 5,312,486 | – |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity SAI International SMA Completion Fund | - %-C | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,140.40 | $--D |
Hypothetical-E | | $1,000.00 | $1,024.79 | $--D |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C Amount represents less than .005%.
D Amount represents less than $.005.
E 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity SAI International SMA Completion Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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. Shares generally are available only to employer-sponsored retirement plans that are recordkept by Fidelity, or to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans that are not recordkept by Fidelity.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $38,964,646 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (4,455,118) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $34,509,528 |
Tax cost | $209,251,517 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(804,696) |
Long-term | (44,996) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(849,692) |
Due to large subscriptions in the current period, the Fund is subject to an annual limit on its use of capital loss carryforwards from prior fiscal years to offset capital gains.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund | 57,128,562 | 46,663,416 |
Unaffiliated Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, the Fund received investments and cash valued at $98,540,649 in exchange for 6,910,531 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Prior Fiscal Year Unaffiliated Exchanges In-Kind. During the prior period, the Fund received investments and cash valued at $17,620,976 in exchange for 1,597,329 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .60% of average net assets. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund | $80 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund | Borrower | $2,063,667 | .30% | $52 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund | 915,479 | 1,067,383 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund | $11 | $– | $– |
8. Expense Reductions.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $6,808 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $1.
9. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund | .60% | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,272.80 | $3.38 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,021.82 | $3.01 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity International Discovery K6 Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Series Overseas Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares are offered only to certain other Fidelity funds and Fidelity managed 529 plans. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, futures transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $3,490,278,810 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (135,122,511) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $3,355,156,299 |
Tax cost | $10,502,196,040 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(335,163,692) |
Total capital loss carryforward | $(335,163,692) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Series Overseas Fund | 2,342,647,653 | 2,978,448,744 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund does not pay a management fee. Under the management contract, the investment adviser or an affiliate pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except custody fees, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Fidelity Series Overseas Fund | Borrower | $35,898,208 | .32% | $7,647 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Series Overseas Fund | 135,526,962 | 143,118,607 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 commitment fees on the pro-rata portion of the line of credit are borne by the investment adviser. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:
| Total Security Lending Fees Paid to NFS | Security Lending Income From Securities Loaned to NFS | Value of Securities Loaned to NFS at Period End |
Fidelity Series Overseas Fund | $2,805 | $– | $– |
8. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, mutual funds and accounts managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Series Overseas Fund | .01% | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,255.50 | $.06 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,024.74 | $.05 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Series Overseas Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board noted that, effective August 1, 2020, the expense cap for the fund was lowered and that the expense cap arrangements were amended to remove certain exclusions. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

1. Organization.
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |

In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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 declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $4,478,957 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (903,536) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $3,575,421 |
Tax cost | $39,089,632 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(828,078) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund | 28,537,804 | 3,192,456 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .68% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .24% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund | .04 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund | $83 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund | 289,413 | – |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund | $26 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded 1.00% of average net assets. This reimbursement will remain in place through February 28, 2022. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, are excluded from this reimbursement. During the period this reimbursement reduced the Fund's expenses by $40,366.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $3,193 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $2.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $29.
8. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund | 1.00% | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,177.10 | $5.40 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,019.84 | $5.01 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Infrastructure Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.

Note to Shareholders:
Early in 2020, the outbreak and spread of a new coronavirus emerged as a public health emergency that had a major influence on financial markets, primarily based on its impact on the global economy and the outlook for corporate earnings. The virus causes a respiratory disease known as COVID-19. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, citing sustained risk of further global spread.
In the weeks following, as the crisis worsened, we witnessed an escalating human tragedy with wide-scale social and economic consequences from coronavirus-containment measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 prompted a number of measures to limit the spread, including travel and border restrictions, quarantines, and restrictions on large gatherings. In turn, these resulted in lower consumer activity, diminished demand for a wide range of products and services, disruption in manufacturing and supply chains, and – given the wide variability in outcomes regarding the outbreak – significant market uncertainty and volatility. Amid the turmoil, global governments and central banks took unprecedented action to help support consumers, businesses, and the broader economies, and to limit disruption to financial systems.
The situation continues to unfold, and the extent and duration of its impact on financial markets and the economy remain highly uncertain. Extreme events such as the coronavirus crisis are “exogenous shocks” that can have significant adverse effects on mutual funds and their investments. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by market disruption, the duration and impact may not be the same for all types of assets.
Fidelity is committed to helping you stay informed amid news about COVID-19 and during increased market volatility, and we’re taking extra steps to be responsive to customer needs. We encourage you to visit our websites, where we offer ongoing updates, commentary, and analysis on the markets and our funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the period ended April 30, 2021
1. Organization.
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Investment Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.
Fidelity Central Fund | Investment Manager | Investment Objective | Investment Practices | Expense Ratio(a) |
Fidelity Money Market Central Funds | Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) | Each fund seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. | Short-term Investments | Less than .005% to .01% |
(a) Expenses expressed as a percentage of average net assets and are as of each underlying Central Fund's most recent annual or semi-annual shareholder report.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of April 30, 2021 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. 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. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $4,193,270 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (213,798) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $3,979,472 |
Tax cost | $13,657,035 |
Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.
No expiration | |
Short-term | $(37,661) |
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, certain Funds transacted in 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. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments. Compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued debt security may be received. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Delayed delivery", as applicable. 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.
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund | 6,519,760 | 2,220,548 |
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 its benchmark index, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index, over the same 36 month performance period. The Fund's performance adjustment took effect in November, 2020. Subsequent months will be added until the performance period includes 36 months. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .79% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .23% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. For the period, the fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates:
| % of Average Net Assets |
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund | .04 |
Brokerage Commissions. A portion of portfolio transactions were placed with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund | $11 |
Interfund Trades. Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Any interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note and are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund | 207,167 | 19,921 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below.
| Amount |
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund | $13 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded 1.10% of average net assets. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain miscellaneous expenses such as proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, are excluded from this reimbursement. During the period this reimbursement reduced the Fund's expenses by $51,289.
Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset expenses. This amount totaled $348 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses by $3.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $19.
Effective June 1, 2021, the investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse expenses to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded 1.05% of average net assets. This reimbursement will remain in place through February 28, 2022.
8. Other.
Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, the fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were owners of record of more than 10% of the outstanding shares as follows:
Fund | Affiliated % |
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund | 22% |
9. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.
An outbreak of COVID-19 first detected in China during December 2019 has since spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may magnify factors that affect the Fund's performance.
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.
| Annualized Expense Ratio-A | Beginning Account Value November 1, 2020 | Ending Account Value April 30, 2021 | Expenses Paid During Period-B November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 |
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund | 1.10% | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | $1,260.30 | $6.16 |
Hypothetical-C | | $1,000.00 | $1,019.34 | $5.51 |
A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
B Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of any Underlying Funds are not included in each annualized expense ratio.
C 5% return per year before expenses
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Fidelity Enduring Opportunities Fund
At its January 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, in connection with changes to the Board's meeting calendar.
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board also considered the findings of certain ad hoc committees that had been previously formed to discuss matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds, including economies of scale, fall-out benefits and retail vs. institutional funds. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through May 31, 2021, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in May 2021.
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the funds, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for four months from February 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule (the Program) effective December 1, 2018. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund’s investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund’s liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund’s investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) in the case of exchange-traded funds, certain additional factors including the effect of the Fund’s prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories described below based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
- Highly liquid investments – cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
- Moderately liquid investments – convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
- Less liquid investments – can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
- Illiquid investments – cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund’s illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund’s net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM). The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the annual period from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020. The report concluded that the Program has been implemented and is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk.
