U.S. mutual fund company, will cut commissions next month on
stock and options trades by 42 percent for its most active

assets at the Boston-based company. Customers who make fewer
trades and have $1 million in assets at Fidelity also qualify,
down from 240 trades a year or $2 million previously required..
