Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 (April 1, 2008 to September 30,
2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund 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 fund under
the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, each Fund, as a
shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity
Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's 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 for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on
a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical
account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this
information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5%
hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity
Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and
expenses are not included in the Fund's 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.

5% return per year before expenses
*
Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by
183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The fees and expenses of the underlying Money Market Central Funds in which each Fund invests are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio.
Annual Report
Fidelity Consumer Discretionary Central Fund
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital
gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The
$10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of
fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Consumer Discretionary Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The
chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI® US Investable Market Consumer Discretionary
Index performed over the same period.

Fidelity Consumer Discretionary Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from John Harris, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Consumer Discretionary Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
For the year ending September 30, 2008, the fund returned -22.90%, beating the MSCI US Investable Market Consumer Discretionary Index, which fell
25.51%, but lagging the S&P 500. As a faltering economy drove consumers to search for better values, the period was a good one for discount retailers.
Our position in discounter Costco Wholesale - not represented in the MSCI index - rose in value during a period when a majority of consumer
discretionary stocks declined. Sales improved and Costco took market share from competitors. Discount office supply chain Staples helped results as
well. McDonald's upgraded its menu and gained market share in the fast-food arena; the company's profits also were boosted by favorable currency
exchange rates on income from its European operations. I sold out of index component General Motors before its stock was crushed by a consumer
stampede away from its trucks and SUVs. Advance Auto Parts turned in higher profits, and our shares appreciated. On the negative side, online jewelry
retailer Blue Nile plummeted as consumers held back on expensive purchases. Las Vegas Sands, an operator of casinos in Las Vegas and Macau,
declined on concerns that I felt would prove short-lived. International Game Technology, which sells and leases slot machines, also fell on what I
believed were short-term concerns. In footwear, I underweighted index component and sports apparel firm Nike for part of the period and missed
much of the upturn in its shares.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

For the period July 21, 2006 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2006.
I
Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the
Fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Fund during periods
when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment
adviser but prior to reductions from expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.
J
Portfolio turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered in-kind.

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

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Consumer Staples Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The chart
shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Consumer Staples Index performed over the same period.
Annual Report
Fidelity Consumer Staples Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Robert Lee, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Consumer Staples Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
During the past year, the fund returned -6.82%, underperforming the MSCI US Investable Market Consumer Staples Index, which declined 0.47%, but
beating the S&P 500. A major underweighting in Wal-Mart Stores was the largest detractor versus the MSCI index, as the stock rose sharply after a
long period of weak returns. Stock selection in the brewing industry hurt results as well. Not owning Anheuser-Busch was a key detractor there, as the
firm's stock price was driven up by a takeover bid. Out-of index positions in three European-headquartered brewers dragged on performance as well.
Dutch firm Heineken, Belgian company InBev and U.K.-based SABMiller all do a significant portion of their business in emerging-markets nations, and
their stocks were hammered by investor concerns about slowing growth rates in developing economies. Currency fluctuations also hurt. On the positive
side, strong emerging-markets sales drove a surge in profits and a rise in share price at beauty products firm Avon. A rich valuation and near-term
profit challenges led me to underweight household products company Kimberly-Clark, and indeed the firm reported profits below Wall Street's expectations, sending the stock price down. Similarly, I underweighted niche supermarket chain Whole Foods because I thought the stock had become too
highly valued, and its shares plummeted. At period end, the fund did not own any Whole Foods stock. Timely ownership of packaged food conglomerate Kraft Foods also aided results.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

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

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Energy Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The chart shows how
the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Energy Index performed over the same period.
Annual Report
Fidelity Energy Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from John Dowd, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Energy Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
For the year ending September 30, 2008, the fund returned -20.73%, lagging the -13.40% return of the MSCI US Investable Market Energy Index, but
beating the S&P 500. As economic indicators and the overall business climate worsened during the period, the environment for energy and energy-related stocks became more volatile. In a flight to quality, investors moved away from more-cyclical issues such as oil-rig stocks, favoring integrated oil
companies and other companies that rely less on borrowing and financial leverage. The fund's biggest losses versus the MSCI index were from oil and
gas refining/marketing stocks Valero Energy and Tesoro, which declined when rising crude oil prices squeezed profit margins just as higher gasoline
prices dampened demand. Oil-rig manufacturer National Oilwell Varco also declined sharply as investors fled cyclical stocks, while production missteps
reduced returns from oil and gas exploration/production (E&P) company Plains Exploration & Production. The fund's underweighting in Exxon Mobil
also hurt its relative return, as did not owning oil and gas E&P firm and index component Devon Energy. Contributors included natural gas producer
Range Resources, coal companies CONSOL Energy and Peabody Energy, and an out-of-index position in Danish alternative energy product manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
B
Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.
C
Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.
D
Fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
E
Amount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
F
Amount represents less than .01%.
G
Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $.13 per share. Excluding the special dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been .94%.
H
For the period July 21, 2006 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2006.
I
Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the
Fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Fund during periods
when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment
adviser but prior to reductions from expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.
J
Portfolio turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered in-kind.

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

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Financials Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The chart shows how
the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Financials Index performed over the same
period.

Fidelity Financials Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Richard Manuel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Financials Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
For the year, the fund returned -38.65%, lagging both the -33.71% return of the MSCI US Investable Market Financials Index and that of the S&P 500.
Financial stocks sank as rising mortgage defaults weakened the credit quality of mortgage originators and eroded the value of investment portfolios
with mortgage exposure. The fund trailed the MSCI index mainly because of disappointing stock selection, particularly among thrifts/mortgage finance
companies and property/casualty insurers. Detractors included mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as American International Group,
a multi-line insurer not in the index, all of which lost more than 80% of their values. Freddie Mac was no longer held at period end. Conversely, an
overweighting in reinsurance, stock and market selection in investment banking/brokerage and diversified banks, and stock selection in consumer
finance benefited the fund. A small cash position also was helpful. The best individual contributors were ACE Ltd., a property and casualty insurer
with below-average mortgage exposure, and State Street, an asset manager and custody bank with good business growth. Neither stock declined as
much as the index.
Note to shareholders:
Benjamin Hesse will become Co-Manager of Financials Central Fund on October 1, 2008.

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

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Health Care Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The chart shows
how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Health Care Index performed over the
same period.
Annual Report
Fidelity Health Care Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Sabel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Health Care Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
For the year ending September 30, 2008, the fund returned -15.90%, underperforming the -11.23% return of the MSCI
US Investable Market Health
Care Index, but outperforming the S&P 500. Unfavorable security selection in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, health care supplies and health care
services hurt the fund's performance relative to the MSCI index the most. Out-of-benchmark positions in the fertilizers/agricultural chemicals and
agricultural products areas also dampened relative performance. On the plus side, positive stock selection in the health care equipment, life sciences
tools/services and managed health care areas helped performance, as did market-weighting decisions in these segments of the health care sector. Main
detractors included underweighting pharmaceutical giant and major index component Johnson & Johnson and biotechnology firm Amgen; investments
in Nighthawk Radiology Holdings; outsized stakes in Brazilian pharmaceutical distributor Profarma and medical diagnostics company Inverness
Medical Innovations; and untimely ownership of pharmaceutical company Schering-Plough. Contributions came from underweighting mega-cap
pharmaceutical company and large index constituent Pfizer and managed health care firm WellPoint. Investments in health care equipment provider
and life sciences tools/services firm Bruker BioSciences further boosted the fund's relative return. Some stocks mentioned here were not held at
period end.
Note to shareholders:
Edward Yoon will become Co-Manager of the fund on October 1, 2008.

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

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Industrials Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The chart shows
how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Industrials Index performed over the
same period.
Annual Report
Fidelity Industrials Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Tobias Welo, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Industrials Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
During the past year, the fund returned -20.68%, beating the -23.67% return of the MSCI US Investable Market Industrials Index and also topping the
S&P 500. Versus the MSCI index, a sizable underweighting in industrial conglomerates contributed. We achieved this underweighting primarily through
a lighter-than-benchmark stake in poorly performing General Electric (GE), which represented about 19% of the MSCI index on average and was still
our largest holding. The company cut its earnings estimates and suspended its stock buyback program amid troubles in its GE Capital unit. Stock
picking in trucking - particularly, overweighted positions in Ryder System, which I sold, and Old Dominion Freight Lines - and in the aerospace
and defense group, where I underweighted and ultimately sold off Boeing, also helped. Overweighting security services provider Brink's was beneficial
as well. Conversely, performance was hurt by poor stock selection in construction and farm machinery/heavy trucks and by underweighting the
strong-performing railroad group - specifically, Burlington Northern Santa Fe and CSX, neither of which was held at period end. I had become
concerned about rich valuations in the railroad segment and underestimated the demand for rail transportation from commodity-related end markets.
Specialty vehicle maker Oshkosh further detracted. The stock fell sharply after the company substantially lowered its third-quarter outlook, and I sold
it.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

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

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Information Technology Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The
chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Information Technology
Index performed over the same period.
Annual Report
Fidelity Information Technology Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Charlie Chai, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Information Technology Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
During the past year, the fund returned -34.07%, trailing the -23.16% return of the MSCI US Investable Market Information Technology Index and
also lagging the S&P 500. Versus the MSCI index, stock selection in the communications equipment, computer hardware and semiconductor groups
was particularly damaging, as was a sizable underweighting in the relatively strong-performing systems software space. Overweighting Apple, a maker
of consumer electronics products, hurt fund performance. The stock had a difficult September amid a broad market sell-off and concerns about
weakening consumer spending. Not owning IBM and significantly underweighting Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard held back performance, as all three
of these major index components benefited from a flight to quality. Also detracting was Canada-based Sandvine, a maker of equipment for monitoring
Internet traffic. Conversely, my picks in consumer electronics and in computer storage and peripherals yielded modest benefits, as did a small cash
position. At the stock level, our performance was aided by Tele Atlas, a Dutch provider of digital map data, whose stock was lifted by a lucrative buyout
offer for the company. Also helpful were Taiwan-based HTC Corp., a leading electronics contract manufacturer, and Synaptics, which supplies semiconductors for touchscreen products. Sandvine, Tele Atlas and HTC were out-of-index holdings. Hewlett-Packard and Tele Atlas were not held at
period end.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

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

Fidelity Materials Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Tobias Welo, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Materials Central Fund on January 9, 2008
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
For the year ending September 30, 2008, the fund returned -23.79%, underperforming the S&P 500 and the -21.15% return for the MSCI
US Investable Market Materials Index. Stock selection among chemicals, including the specialty, commodity and diversified chemicals groups, detracted versus
the sector index, as did some holdings and an underweighting within the construction materials segment. On the positive side, exposure to two
out-of-benchmark segments, coal/consumable fuels and home improvement retail, benefited results, as did the fund's stock picks in metal/glass
containers. Cash holdings also helped amid high market volatility. On an individual basis, underweightings in specialty chemicals manufacturer Rohm
and Haas and iron-ore producer Cleveland-Cliffs hurt. Rohm and Haas rose on news of its agreement to be purchased by Dow Chemical, while Cleveland-Cliffs benefited from high global demand for iron ore. Century Aluminum and Titanium Metals detracted, hampered partly by falling product
prices. Among contributors, underweightings in steel company Allegheny Technologies and aluminum concern Alcoa helped; the two firms struggled
with declining outlooks for such products as aluminum and nickel. Paper/packaging company Rock-Tenn was another positive, lifted in part by falling
production costs. Some stocks mentioned here were sold by period end.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

A
Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
B
Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.
C
Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.
D
Fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
E
Amount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
F
Amount represents less than .01%.
G
Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $.35 per share. Excluding the special dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been 1.82%.
H
For the period July 21, 2006 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2006.
I
Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the
Fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Fund during periods
when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment
adviser but prior to reductions from expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.
J
Portfolio turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered in-kind.

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

shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Telecom Services Index performed
over the same period.
Annual Report
Fidelity Telecom Services Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Gavin Baker, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Telecom Services Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
Fidelity Telecom Services Central Fund was down 39.72% for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2008, underperforming the S&P 500 and the
MSCI US Investable Market Telecommunications Services Index, which returned -33.74%. Versus the sector index, the fund was hurt by weak stock
and market selection in the integrated telecommunications services group, specifically by being underweighted in Verizon and AT&T, both of which
outperformed the index, and by overweighting poor-performing Qwest Communications. Though AT&T was by far the fund's largest holding at period
end, Fidelity's policies limiting concentration of assets in just a handful of companies kept the fund underweighted in both AT&T and Verizon. An
out-of-benchmark position in application software company Synchronoss Technologies also detracted. Another stock that dragged down performance
was alternative carrier tw telecom. On the other hand, the fund got a boost from underweighting poor-performing wireless telecom services giant
Sprint Nextel. The fund's out-of-benchmark holdings in cable and satellite company DIRECTV and French home entertainment software company
Gameloft also improved performance.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment
adviser but prior to reductions from expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.
I
Portfolio turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered in-kind.

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

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Utilities Central Fund on July 21, 2006, when the fund started. The chart shows how
the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI US Investable Market Utilities Index performed over the same
period.

Fidelity Utilities Central Fund
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Douglas Simmons, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Utilities Central Fund
Stocks fell sharply for the 12 months ending September 30, 2008, amid a backdrop of falling home values, tight credit and scarce liquidity. In that time
frame, the Standard & Poor's 500
SM
Index declined 21.98%. Of the 10 market sectors in the S&P 500®, only consumer staples had a positive return,
rising just under 1%. The others all suffered double-digit losses, led by the roughly 39% decline of the financials sector. In the final quarter of the
period, under the strain of a credit crisis and dwindling capital, several of the largest institutions on Wall Street went bankrupt, were forced into
acquisitions or were seized by the U.S. government. When Congress failed to agree on a financial bailout plan toward period end, a sell-off of historic
proportions ensued. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
SM
plummeted roughly 778 points on September 29 - its worst single-day point loss ever -
and finished down 19.85% for the 12 months overall, while the NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 21.99%. The MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE®) Index - a measure of developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada - fell 30.39%, exacerbated by the renewed strength of the U.S.
dollar.
For the year ending September 30, 2008, the fund returned -22.54%, underperforming the S&P 500 and the -14.59% return of the MSCI US Investable
Market Utilities Index. Unsuccessful stock selection in the electric utilities, independent power/energy trade, multi-utilities and gas utilities groups
hurt the fund's performance relative to the MSCI benchmark, as did unfavorable market-weighting decisions in the latter three groups and in oil/gas
storage and transport. Not owning electric utility Southern Company and underweighting multi-utility Dominion Resources - large components of the
MSCI index - detracted, as both stocks posted positive returns. Also hurting the fund's return was overweighting several names that underperformed:
independent power/energy traders Constellation Energy Group and NRG Energy; electric utilities PPL Corporation and Allegheny Energy; and oil/gas
storage and transport firm Southern Union. An out-of-benchmark position in oil/gas storage and transport provider Spectra Energy helped, as did
timely ownership of independent power/energy trader Mirant and gas utility Equitable Resources, along with underweighting independent power/energy trader Dynegy. Lastly, the fund's cash holdings benefited results in a down market. Some stocks mentioned here were not held at period end.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

1. Organization.
Fidelity Consumer Discretionary Central Fund (Consumer Discretionary), Fidelity Consumer Staples Central Fund (Consumer Staples), Fidelity
Energy Central Fund (Energy), Fidelity Financials Central Fund (Financials), Fidelity Health Care Central Fund (Health Care), Fidelity Industrials Central Fund (Industrials), Fidelity Information Technology Central Fund (Information Technology), Fidelity Materials Central Fund (Materials),
Fidelity Telecom Services Central Fund (Telecom Services), and Fidelity Utilities Central Fund (Utilities), collectively referred to as the Funds,
are funds of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC (the LLC) and are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The LLC is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Each Fund in the LLC is a separate partnership for tax purposes. Shares of each Fund are only offered to other
investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or its affiliates (the Investing Funds). The
Funds are non-diversified with the exception of Financials. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Funds are referred to as Fidelity Central Funds and may also invest in other Fidelity Central Funds available
only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Board of Directors may permit the purchase of shares (for
cash, securities or other consideration) and admit new Eligible Accredited Investors into each Fund, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Certain Funds' 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.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if
any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds
indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management,
Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition,
the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Funds' Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation.
Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, each Fund uses
independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value their investments.
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 an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. 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. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or
price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including
the other Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events,
changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs,
futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a
significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for
the same securities.
Foreign Currency.
Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from
these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities.
Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income.
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 pm 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 may include proceeds received from litigation.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have
passed, which are recorded as soon as the 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain
are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may
be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from other Fidelity Central Funds are
accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. 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 collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses.
Most expenses of the LLC can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among
each Fund in the LLC. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are
known.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Partners.
No provision has been made for federal income taxes because all income and expenses
and gain/loss (realized and unrealized) are allocated daily to the partners, based on their capital balances, for inclusion in their individual income
tax returns.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are paid from net investment income on a book basis which are deemed distributed based
on allocations to the partners and are reclassified to paid in capital. Due to the Fund's partnership structure, paid in capital includes net realized
gain/loss on investments.
Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a
minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax
returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each Fund:

New Accounting Pronouncement
.
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS
157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
Annual Report
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements.
FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits
certain Funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in
repurchase agreements. Certain Funds may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may
be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Each applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is
at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty,
realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Restricted Securities.
Certain 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 is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee and Expense Contract
.
Fidelity Management & Research Company, Inc. (FMRC), an affiliate of FMR, provides each Fund
with investment management services. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services. Pursuant to each Fund's management contract with
FMRC, FMR pays FMRC a portion of the management fees it receives from the Investing Funds. In addition, under an expense contract FMR pays
all other expenses of each Fund, excluding custody fees, the compensation of the independent Directors, and certain exceptions such as interest
expense.
Brokerage Commissions.
Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:

Interfund Lending Program.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Funds, along with other registered investment companies
having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility
allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding.
Each applicable fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Security Lending.
Certain Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable
Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned

securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business
day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays
and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities
Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with
the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each
applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
8. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of each Fund's operating expenses. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's
custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. During the period, the
reductions of expenses for each Fund is noted in the table below.

9. Other.
The Funds' 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 Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that
provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum

exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of
material loss from such claims is considered remote.
During the period, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (LBHI) sought protection under the insolvency laws of their jurisdictions of organization, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. At the time LBHI's insolvency proceedings were instituted,
Energy and Health Care had outstanding securities trades with counterparties affiliated with LBHI. As a result of the insolvency proceedings, LBHI
is unable to fulfill its commitments and, in certain cases, Energy and Health Care may have terminated its trades and related agreements with the

Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Directors of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC and the Shareholders of Fidelity Consumer Discretionary Central
Fund, Fidelity Consumer Staples Central Fund, Fidelity Energy Central Fund, Fidelity Financials Central Fund, Fidelity Health
Care Central Fund, Fidelity Industrials Central Fund, Fidelity Information Technology Central Fund, Fidelity Materials Central
Fund, Fidelity Telecom Services Central Fund, and Fidelity Utilities Central Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Consumer Discretionary Central Fund, Fidelity Consumer Staples
Central Fund, Fidelity Energy Central Fund, Fidelity Financials Central Fund, Fidelity Health Care Central Fund, Fidelity Industrials Central Fund,
Fidelity Information Technology Central Fund, Fidelity Materials Central Fund, Fidelity Telecom Services Central Fund, and Fidelity Utilities Central
Fund (the Portfolios), each a Portfolio of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC, including the schedules of investments, as of September 30,
2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of
material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians
and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Consumer Discretionary Central Fund, Fidelity Consumer Staples Central Fund, Fidelity Energy Central Fund, Fidelity Financials Central
Fund, Fidelity Health Care Central Fund, Fidelity Industrials Central Fund, Fidelity Information Technology Central Fund, Fidelity Materials Central
Fund, Fidelity Telecom Services Central Fund, and Fidelity Utilities Central Fund as of September 30, 2008, the results of their operations for the
year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the
periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Each year, typically in July, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and
Independent Directors' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers
at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services
and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of
Independent Directors with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance
effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board
also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2008 meeting, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory
Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant and ultimately reached a determination, with the
assistance of fund counsel and Independent Directors' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory
Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under
applicable law. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited, as well as amendments to each fund's agreement with Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.
The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR Co., Inc., and the
sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of each fund's investment personnel and each fund's investment
objectives and disciplines. The Independent Directors also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and
investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides
appropriate incentives.
Annual Report
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services
. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment
Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers
and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools
that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's
extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive
investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows
for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Administrative Services
. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services performed by the
Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and
bookkeeping services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally
custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, and the
use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board further considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its
own resources.
Investment Performance
. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. The Board reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance, but did not consider performance to be a material factor in its decision to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board
noted that each fund is designed to offer a liquid investment option for other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or its affiliates and ultimately to enhance the performance of those investment companies and accounts. Based
on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit the fund's shareholders.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses.
The Board considered that FMR pays each fund's management fee on
behalf of the fund. The Board also noted that FMR bears all expenses of each fund, except expenses related to each fund's investment activities
(primarily custody expenses). Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's net management fee and total expenses were reasonable
in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability.
The Board considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds, as well as the
profitability of each fund that invests in these funds.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been
engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the
review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business,
and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other
allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where
Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to each fund's business.
The Board concluded that the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund
were not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts because the funds pay no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of each fund, except
expenses related to each fund's investment activities.
Economies of Scale.
The Board concluded that the realization of economies of scale was not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts
because each fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of each fund, except expenses related to each fund's investment activities.
Additional Information Requested by the Board.
In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory
Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be
taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's
fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager
compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds;
and (vi) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees.
Annual Report
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the
advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Eric Mollenhauer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Floating Rate Central Fund
During the 12 months that ended September 30, 2008, the S&P®/LSTA Leveraged Performing Loan Index returned -7.94%. An extraordinary dislocation of buyers and sellers caused the leveraged-loan market to perform in fits and starts throughout the past year. Monthly returns ranged from a high
in April of 3.78% to a low of -6.15% in September. This erratic performance can be attributed to a shifting financial landscape. As the period began,
demand from collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which had been a major outlet for new issues, dried up as market demand for structured products all but disappeared. Meanwhile, a massive new-issue calendar loomed, as banks moved new loans off their books, affecting the entire secondary
market. The price volatility also resulted in hedge funds and market-value CLOs being forced to unwind positions when they reached certain price
levels, putting pressure on liquid issues, including better-quality loans. Amid this turmoil, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, two major investment
banks active in the loan market, went out of business.
During the past year, the fund declined 6.98%, topping the S&P/LSTA benchmark. Positive security selection and market selection drove the outperformance. A modest cash position also helped. The fund's largest individual contributor versus the index was media company Tribune. During such a
volatile period, owning one of the company's short-term loans, which gets paid down with asset-sale proceeds, was helpful. Avoiding Idearc loans
benefited relative performance as well. I believed the company, a yellow pages spin-off from Verizon, faced an unattractive outlook against secular and
cyclical head winds. Another contributor was Kronos, a provider of workplace management software that has consistently grown revenues and cash
flow. Turning to detractors, the fund was underweighted in Alltel because I believed it carried too much debt relative to its capital structure. This
positioning detracted from performance when Verizon surprisingly offered to buy the cellular phone company less than one year after Alltel's leveraged
buyout. Freescale Semiconductor also hurt, as technical and fundamental factors weighed on its loan price. However, the company was working on a
restructuring of its business, which could improve margins and cash flow. As a result, the fund continued to hold the position at period end. The fund's
position in a Daimler Chrysler Financial Services loan declined amid the financial market turmoil, but I still held the position for its attractive yield
and its asset coverage.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example
is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of
investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2008 to September 30,
2008).
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 under the heading entitled
"Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's
actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account
values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information
to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical
examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
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.

when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment
adviser but prior to reductions from expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.

Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended September 30, 2008
1.
Organization.
Fidelity Floating Rate Central Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC (the LLC) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Each Fund in the LLC is a separate partnership for tax purposes. Shares of the Fund are only offered to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), or its affiliates (the Investing Funds). The Board of Directors may permit the purchase of shares (for cash, securities or other consideration) and admit new Eligible Accredited Investors into each Fund, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation.
Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses
independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities.
Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in
open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days
or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition
may differ.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events,
changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs,
futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a
significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for
the same securities.

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. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest
income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. The Fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees,
consent fees and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as Income in the accompanying financial statements.
Expenses.
Most expenses of the LLC can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among
each Fund in the LLC. 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 Partners.
No provision has been made for federal income taxes because all income and expenses
and gain/loss (realized and unrealized) are allocated daily to the partners, based on their capital balances, for inclusion in their individual income
tax returns.
Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income on a book basis, except for certain items such as market discount
and term loan fee income which are deemed distributed based on allocations to the partners and are reclassified to paid in capital. Due to the
Fund's partnership structure, paid in capital includes net realized gain/loss on investments.
The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a
minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax
returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS

measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
3. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements.
FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the
Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase
agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in
the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral
proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Restricted Securities.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally
may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve
time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is
included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Operating Policies - continued
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments.
The Fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These
investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to
the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The Fund may be
contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including principal repayments of floating rate loans), other than short-term securities, aggregated
$1,217,999,402 and $713,009,666, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee and Expense Contract.
Fidelity Management & Research Company, Inc. (FMRC), an affiliate of FMR, provides the Fund
with investment management services. The Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Pursuant to the Fund's management contract with
FMRC, FMR pays FMRC a portion of the management fees it receives from the Investing Funds. In addition, under an expense contract, FMR also
pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding custody fees, the compensation of the independent Directors, and certain exceptions such as
interest expense.
Interfund Lending Program.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies
having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility
allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. Any open loans at period end are presented under the
caption "Interfund Loans" in the Fund's Schedule of Investments with accrued interest included in Other Receivables on the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Annual Report
6. Expense Reductions.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund's operating expenses. For the period, the reimbursement reduced the expenses by
$10,580. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce
the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $11,249.
7. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current directors 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 managed by FMR or an FMR affiliate were the owners of record of all the outstanding shares of the Fund.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Directors of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC and Partners of Fidelity Floating Rate Central Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Floating Rate Central Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Central
Investment Portfolios LLC, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years
in the period then ended and for the period from December 15, 2004 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2005. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material
misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities and senior loans, the custodian, and brokers and selling agent banks owned as of September 30, 2008, by
correspondence with the custodians and brokers and selling agent bankers; where replies were not received from brokers and selling agent bankers, we
performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity
Floating Rate Central Fund as of September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period from December
15, 2004 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Floating Rate Central Fund
Each year, typically in July, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and
Independent Directors' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers
at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services
and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of
Independent Directors with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance
effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board
also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
On June 19, 2008, the Board voted to continue the fund's Advisory Contracts for one month, through July 31, 2008, in connection with the reorganization of the Fidelity funds under two separate boards. The Board considered that the contractual terms of and fees payable under the fund's
Advisory Contracts involve no changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the nature
or level of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iii) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts
should be extended, without modification, through July 31, 2008, with the understanding that the Board would consider their renewal in July 2008.
At its July 2008 meeting, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory
Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant and ultimately reached a determination, with the
assistance of fund counsel and Independent Directors' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory
Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under
applicable law. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity Management
& Research (Japan) Inc., and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.
The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR Co., Inc., and the
sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Directors also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment
groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate
incentives.

. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment
Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers
and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools
that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's
extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive
investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows
for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Administrative Services
. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services performed by the
Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and
bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally
custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, and the
use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board further considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its
own resources.
Investment Performance
. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance
with its investment restrictions. The Board reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance, but did not consider performance to be a material factor in its decision to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board noted that the
fund is designed to offer a liquid investment option for other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research
Company (FMR) or its affiliates and ultimately to enhance the performance of those investment companies and accounts. Based on its review, the
Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses.
The Board considered that FMR pays the fund's management fee on behalf
of the fund. The Board also noted that FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except expenses related to the fund's investment activities (primarily
custody expenses). Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's net management fee and total expenses were reasonable in light of the
services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability.
The Board considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds, as well as the
profitability of each fund that invests in this fund.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been
engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the
review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business,
and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other
allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where
Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.
The Board concluded that the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund
were not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except
expenses related to the fund's investment activities.
Economies of Scale.
The Board concluded that the realization of economies of scale was not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts
because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except expenses related to the fund's investment activities.
Additional Information Requested by the Board.
In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory
Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be
taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's
fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager
compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds;
and (vi) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the
advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

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

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Conti, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® High Income Central Fund 1
The high-yield market struggled mightily during the 12 months ending September 30, 2008. The Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained
Index declined 11.09% in response to the credit crunch, contracting U.S. economic growth, concerns about corporate business fundamentals, a rising
default rate and shrinking demand from risk-averse investors. The debt markets suffered from a freeze-up as credit grew ever tighter, with banks and
other financial institutions posting significant losses and hoarding cash to cover any exposure they had to troubled assets linked to subprime mortgages. In September, the U.S. government stepped in to take over mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well as insurance behemoth
American International Group (AIG). Conditions worsened, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben
Bernanke asked Congress to approve a $700 billion bailout plan for Wall Street. However, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected the first legislative proposal. As the period came to a close, the U.S. Senate was working feverishly on a revised bailout program. The markets - wracked by uncertainty about the future of the financials sector and the U.S. economy - remained in turmoil.
For the year ending September 30, 2008, the fund returned -5.71%, significantly outperforming the Merrill Lynch index. A notable underweighting of
the automotive group helped relative performance, as did underweighting publishing/printing. Strong security selection in casino gaming was beneficial, although returns there were offset somewhat by overweighting this underperforming industry. Other factors that bolstered relative performance
included solid security selection and an overweighting in shipping, as well as an underweighting in banks and thrifts. On the down side, weak security
selection and an underweighting in health care hurt, as did unfavorable bond selection in telecommunications. Several underweighted positions were
among the top contributors - including General Motors Acceptance Corporation, General Motors, home finance company Residential Capital and
casino operator Harrah's - as was not owning publishing/printing firm R.H. Donnelley. These index components underperformed. Positions in two
shipping companies - Ship Finance International and Teekay Shipping - also proved fruitful. Detractors included Virgin River Casino, telecommunications provider Level 3, an out-of-benchmark position in United Air Lines and underweighting Tenet Healthcare, an index constituent that posted a
positive return. Some securities mentioned here were not held at period end.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example
is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of
investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2008 to September 30,
2008).
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 under the heading entitled
"Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's
actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account
values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information
to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical
examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
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.

1.
Organization.
Fidelity High Income Central Fund 1 (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC (the LLC) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Each Fund in the LLC is a separate partnership for tax purposes. Shares of the Fund are only offered to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), or its affiliates (the Investing Funds). The Board of Directors may permit the purchase of shares (for cash, securities or other consideration) and admit new Eligible Accredited Investors into each Fund, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Fund's investments in
emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation.
Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses
independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing
services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Certain of the Fund's
securities may be valued by a single source or dealer. 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 an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. 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. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual
prices received at disposition may differ.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events,
changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign

Security Valuation - continued
markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which
these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV)
calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
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 pm 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. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount
on debt securities.
Expenses.
Most expenses of the LLC can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among
each Fund in the LLC. 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 Partners.
No provision has been made for federal income taxes because all income and expenses
and gain/loss (realized and unrealized) are allocated daily to the partners, based on their capital balances, for inclusion in their individual income
tax returns.
Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income on a book basis, except for certain items such as market discount
and term loan fee income which are deemed distributed based on allocations to the partners and are reclassified to paid in capital. Due to the
Fund's partnership structure, paid in capital includes net realized gain/loss on investments.
The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a
minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund's federal tax

New Accounting Pronouncement
.
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS
157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
3. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements.
FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the
Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase
agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in
the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral
proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Restricted Securities.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally
may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve
time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is
included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Operating Policies - continued
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments.
The Fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These
investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to
the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The Fund may be
contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $139,327,413 and $151,742,412, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee and Expense Contract.
Fidelity Management & Research Company, Inc. (FMRC), an affiliate of FMR, provides the Fund
with investment management services. The Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Pursuant to the Fund's management contract with
FMRC, FMR pays FMRC a portion of the management fees it receives from the Investing Funds. In addition, under an expense contract, FMR also
pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding custody fees, the compensation of the independent Directors, and certain exceptions such as
interest expense.
Interfund Lending Program.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies
having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility
allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. Any open loans at period end are presented under the
caption "Interfund Loans" in the Fund's Schedule of Investments with accrued interest included in Other Receivables on the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

6. Expense Reductions.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund's operating expenses. For the period, the reimbursement reduced the expenses by
$1,140.
Annual Report
6. Expense Reductions - continued
In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the
Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $6,212.
7. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current directors 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 managed by FMR or an FMR affiliate were the owners of record of all outstanding shares of the Fund.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Directors of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC and Partners of Fidelity High Income Central Fund 1:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity High Income Central Fund 1 (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Central
Investment Portfolios LLC, including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of
material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians
and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity High Income Central Fund 1 as of September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
High Income Central Fund 1
Each year, typically in July, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and
Independent Directors' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers
at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services
and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of
Independent Directors with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance
effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board
also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
On June 19, 2008, the Board voted to continue the fund's Advisory Contracts for one month, through July 31, 2008, in connection with the reorganization of the Fidelity funds under two separate boards. The Board considered that the contractual terms of and fees payable under the fund's
Advisory Contracts involve no changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the nature
or level of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iii) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts
should be extended, without modification, through July 31, 2008, with the understanding that the Board would consider their renewal in July 2008.
At its July 2008 meeting, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory
Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant and ultimately reached a determination, with the
assistance of fund counsel and Independent Directors' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory
Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under
applicable law. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity Management
& Research (Japan) Inc., and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.
The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR Co., Inc., and the
sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Directors also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment
groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate
incentives.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services
. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment
Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers
and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools
that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's
extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive
investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows
for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Administrative Services
. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services performed by the
Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and
bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally
custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, and the
use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board further considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its
own resources.
Investment Performance
. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance
with its investment restrictions. The Board reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance, but did not consider performance to be a material factor in its decision to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board noted that the
fund is designed to offer a liquid investment option for other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research
Company (FMR) or its affiliates and ultimately to enhance the performance of those investment companies and accounts.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders.
Annual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses.
The Board considered that FMR pays the fund's management fee on behalf
of the fund. The Board also noted that FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except expenses related to the fund's investment activities (primarily
custody expenses). Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's net management fee and total expenses were reasonable in light of the
services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability.
The Board considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds, as well as the
profitability of each fund that invests in this fund.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been
engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the
review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business,
and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other
allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where
Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.
The Board concluded that the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund
were not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except
expenses related to the fund's investment activities.
Economies of Scale.
The Board concluded that the realization of economies of scale was not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts
because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except expenses related to the fund's investment activities.
Additional Information Requested by the Board.
In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory
Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be
taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's
fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager
compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds;
and (vi) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the
advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital
gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year.
The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not
occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average annual total returns
take International Equity Central Fund's cumulative total return and show you what would have happened if
International Equity Central Fund shares had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year
old.
$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in International Equity Central Fund on December 10, 2007, when the fund started. The chart
shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE®) Index
performed over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Torrey, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity®
International Equity Central Fund for the period covered by this report,
with additional input from Jeffrey Stevens and Paul Walsh, who joined Torrey on August 1, 2008, to form a co-manager structure for
the fund
Amid growing signs of a global economic slowdown, foreign equity markets plummeted, especially during the late summer and early fall, generating
steeper losses than the U.S. stock market through the first nine months of 2008. The subprime-mortgage-led financial crisis turned viral, spreading
beyond the United States and provoking a worldwide asset sell-off. During the period from International Equity Central Fund's inception on December 10, 2007, through September 30, 2008, the MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE®) Index fell 31.69%. Among foreign developed countries,
Europe suffered the most-precipitous declines, as the region's economies decelerated severely and the growing financial crisis engulfed many of
Europe's banking institutions. Even commodity-exporting countries such as Brazil, Russia and Argentina - which had held up relatively well earlier in
the year - suffered big declines. Stocks in the Asia-Pacific region also tended to perform poorly, with growing worries that the global slowdown might
have a greater impact on local economies and export industries than previously anticipated. The strengthening dollar further added to losses for U.S.
investors.
From its inception on December 10, 2007, through September 30, 2008, the fund declined 31.24%, finishing just ahead of the EAFE index. Within the
context of a generally sector-neutral investment strategy, a good deal of the fund's relative outperformance came from favorable industry positioning
within some of the sectors. In particular, an underweighting of diversified financials within the toxic financials sector and an overweighting of software/services in the information technology sector helped. Positive stock picking in financials, consumer staples and health care also aided our results,
including overweightings in Japanese banking company Mitsubishi UFJ Financial and Australian medical products maker CSL, and an underweighting
in Swiss diversified financials firm UBS. A modest cash position was beneficial as well. Conversely, we lost ground through unfavorable stock selection
in utilities and, to a lesser extent, in pockets of the consumer discretionary and technology sectors. Among our biggest detractors were overweightings
in Australian investment firm Babcock & Brown, which was no longer held at period end, and Norwegian solar power company Renewable Energy.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not
necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based
upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment
advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent
on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example
is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of
investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2008 to September 30,
2008).
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 under the heading entitled
"Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the
underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's 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 Fund's
actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account
values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information
to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical
examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds,
will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not
included in the Fund's 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.

1.
Organization.
Fidelity International Equity Central Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC (the LLC) and is authorized to issue
an unlimited number of shares. The LLC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Each Fund in the LLC is a separate partnership for tax
purposes. Shares of the Fund are only offered to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), or its affiliates (the Investing Funds). The Board of Directors may permit the purchase of shares (for cash, securities or other consideration) and admit new Eligible Accredited Investors into each Fund, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if
any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund
indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management,
Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition,
the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation.
Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses
independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors to value its investments.
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 an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. 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. Investments in open-end mutual
funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining
maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events,
changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs,
futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a
significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for
the same securities.
Foreign Currency.
The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these
transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities.
Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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. Interest income and distributions from other Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and
amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery
of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses.
Most expenses of the LLC can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among
each Fund in the LLC. 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 Partners.
No provision has been made for federal income taxes because all income and expenses
and gain/loss (realized and unrealized) are allocated daily to the partners, based on their capital balances, for inclusion in their individual income
tax returns.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are paid from net investment income on a book basis. Due to the Fund's partnership
structure, paid in capital includes net realized gain/loss on investments.
The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a
minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation

$ 3,206,807

Unrealized depreciation

New Accounting Pronouncement
.
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS
157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and results in expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The Fund will adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 effective
for its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements.
FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the
Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase
agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in
the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral
proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,351,482,918 and $453,283,305, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee and Expense Contract.
Fidelity Management & Research Company, Inc. (FMRC), an affiliate of FMR, provides the Fund
with investment management services. The Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Pursuant to the Fund's management contract with
FMRC, FMR pays FMRC a portion of the management fees it receives from the Investing Funds. In addition, under an expense contract, FMR also
pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding custody fees, the compensation of the independent Directors, and certain exceptions such as
interest expense.
Brokerage Commissions.
The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment
adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $580 for the period.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives
collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an
amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is
determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs
in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending
Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any
premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of
Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to
$932,398.
8. Expense Reductions.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund's operating expenses. For the period, the reimbursement reduced the expenses by
$2,477.
9. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current directors 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 managed by FMR or an FMR affiliate were the owners of record of all outstanding shares of the Fund.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC and the Shareholders of Fidelity International Equity Central Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations
and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity International Equity
Central Fund (a fund of Fidelity Central Investment Portfolios LLC) at September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the period indicated, the
changes in its net assets for the period indicated and the financial highlights for the period indicated, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity International Equity Central Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2008 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
International Equity Central Fund
Each year, typically in July, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and
Independent Directors' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers
at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services
and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of
Independent Directors with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance
effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board
also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2008 meeting, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory
Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant and ultimately reached a determination, with the
assistance of fund counsel and Independent Directors' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory
Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under
applicable law. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc. and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited, as well as amendments to the fund's agreement with Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided.
The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR Co., Inc., and the
sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Directors also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment
groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate
incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services
. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment
Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers
and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools
that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's
extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive
investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows
for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Annual Report
Administrative Services
. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory and administrative services performed by the
Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and
bookkeeping services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally
custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, and the
use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board further considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its
own resources.
Investment Performance
. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance
with its investment restrictions. The Board reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance, but did not consider performance to be a material factor in its decision to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board noted that the
fund is designed to offer a liquid investment option for other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research
Company (FMR) or its affiliates and ultimately to enhance the performance of those investment companies and accounts.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses.
The Board considered that FMR pays the fund's management fee on behalf
of the fund. The Board also noted that FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except expenses related to the fund's investment activities (primarily
custody expenses). Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's net management fee and total expenses were reasonable in light of the
services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability.
The Board considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds, as well as the
profitability of each fund that invests in this fund.
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been
engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the
review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business,
and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other
allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where
Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.
The Board concluded that the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund
were not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except
expenses related to the fund's investment activities.
Economies of Scale.
The Board concluded that the realization of economies of scale was not relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts
because the fund pays no advisory fees and FMR bears all expenses of the fund, except expenses related to the fund's investment activities.
Additional Information Requested by the Board.
In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory
Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be
taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's
fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager
compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds;
and (vi) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the
advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC and Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be
compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC and Deloitte Entities in their audits of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC and Deloitte Entities, in
accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, regarding their independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness
and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Fidelity fund's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services
provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether
they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes,
provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service
provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund ("Covered Service") are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.
All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i)
by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the
service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other
member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's
absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the
Audit Committee.
Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not
relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to
the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.
Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation
S-X ("De Minimis Exception")
There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit
Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds' last two fiscal years
relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate
directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
