WHEREAS Fidelity Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation (hereinafter called the "Advisor"), has entered into a Management Contract with Fidelity Investment Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust"), on behalf of Fidelity Series International Growth Fund (hereinafter called the "Portfolio"), pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as investment advisor to the Portfolio, and

WHEREAS, the Sub-Advisor has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Advisor (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") pursuant to which the Sub-Advisor, directly or through certain of its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons, shall provide investment advice or investment management and order execution services to the Portfolio, and

WHEREAS the U.K. Sub-Advisor has personnel in Western Europe and has been formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and securities of issuers located outside of North America, principally in the U.K. and Europe.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Sub-Advisor and the U.K. Sub-Advisor agree as follows:

1. Duties: The Sub-Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the U.K. Sub-Advisor to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio, in connection with the Sub-Advisor's duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The services and the portion of the investments of the Portfolio advised or managed by the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Sub-Advisor and the U.K. Sub-Advisor. The U.K. Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all personnel of the U.K. Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

(a) Investment Advice: If and to the extent requested by the Sub-Advisor, the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Sub-Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Sub-Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information may include written and oral reports and analyses.

(b) Investment Management: If and to the extent requested by the Sub-Advisor, the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall manage all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or the Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the U.K. Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the Portfolio under its management, the U.K. Sub-Advisor is authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock, bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the U.K. Sub-Advisor may select. The U.K. Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Sub-Advisor, to provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio, including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.

2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The U.K. Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Trust, the Advisor, and the Sub-Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees, the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the U.K. Sub-Advisor may deem to be desirable.

3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the U.K. Sub-Advisor, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor, Sub-Advisor or U.K. Sub-Advisor. The U.K. Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to the other accounts over which the U.K. Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise investment discretion. The U.K. Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the U.K. Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the U.K. Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Advisor have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

4. Compensation: The Sub-Advisor shall compensate the U.K. Sub-Advisor on the following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.

(a) Sub-Advisory Fee: For services provided under subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor agrees to pay the U.K. Sub-Advisor a monthly sub-advisory fee (the "U.K. Sub-Advisory Fee"). The U.K. Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 110% of the U.K. Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The U.K. Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or fee waivers by the Sub-Advisor or Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.

(b) Investment Management Fee: For services provided under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor agrees to pay the U.K. Sub-Advisor a monthly investment management fee (the "UK Investment Management Fee"). The UK Investment Management Fee shall be equal to a percentage of the monthly average net assets of the Portfolio managed by the U.K. Sub-Advisor pursuant to subparagraph 1(b) of this Agreement, calculated on a cumulative basis based upon a monthly average of the aggregate of all net assets managed by the U.K. Sub-Advisor on behalf of the Sub-Advisor pursuant to sub-advisory arrangements ("Average Group Assets") in accordance with the following fee schedule:

		Annualized Fee Rate
	Average Group Assets	(For Each Level)
	$0 - $500 million	0.30 %
	$500 million - $1 billion	0.25 %
	over $1 billion	0.20 %

, provided that in no event shall the UK Investment Management Fee exceed 50% of the sub-advisory fees received by the Sub-Advisor in respect of the Portfolio from the Advisor pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and provided further that, for purposes of calculating the fee rates set forth above, any assets managed by the U.K. Sub-Advisor on behalf of the Sub-Advisor pursuant to a sub-advisory arrangement where a fee cap is being applied to reduce the U.K. Sub-Advisor's fee to less than the rates set forth above shall be excluded from Average Group Assets.

(c) Provision of Multiple Services: If the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall have provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period, the fees paid to the U.K. Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.

5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the U.K. Sub-Advisor hereunder, by the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the Portfolio.

6. Interested Persons: It is understood that the Trustees, officers, and shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the U.K. Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the U.K. Sub-Advisor are or may be or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the U.K. Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise.

7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The Services of the U.K. Sub-Advisor to the Sub-Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the U.K. Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner, with the U.K. Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder. The U.K. Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Trust.

Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a partnership between the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, the U.K. Sub-Advisor and the Trust. Nothing in this Agreement makes the U.K. Sub-Advisor an agent of the Advisor, Sub-Advisor or the Trust and the U.K. Sub-Advisor has no authority whatsoever to exercise discretionary powers over the global portfolios and investment funds, except as provided pursuant to paragraph 1(b) herein, of the Advisor, Sub-Advisor and the Trust, or otherwise to bind the Advisor's and the Trust's assets under management.

The U.K. Sub-Advisor shall furnish services as an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of either the Advisor, Sub-Advisor or the Trust. The U.K. Sub-Advisor has no power or authority to act for, represent, or bind the Advisor, Sub-Advisor or the Trust or any company affiliated with either of them.

8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the U.K. Sub-Advisor, the U.K. Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to liability to the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
