Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Portfolio Manager Samuel Wald:  For the fiscal year, the fund's share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 2% to 3%, trailing the 3.85% return of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Real Estate Securities Index℠ and significantly lagging the S&P 500®. Versus the Dow Jones real estate index, security selection was the primary detractor, especially in the hotels and diversified segments. An underweighting in hotels also hurt, as did overweighting the lagging residential category, where a stake in apartment REIT Avalon Bay Communities detracted. Despite the underperformance in hotels, a non-index position in Marriott International, later sold for valuation reasons, contributed. Security selection in retail contributed versus the sector index, as not owning index component and shopping-center REIT Kimco Realty helped. Overweighting another shopping-center REIT, however, Urban Edge Properties, detracted. Industry positioning was favorable, thanks primarily to an underweighting in health care. Here, an overweighting in Ventas – one of the fund's largest holdings – was detrimental, although it was partly counterbalanced by not owning poor-performing index component HCP. Elsewhere, self-storage REIT Extra Space contributed, while lack of exposure to two competitors and index components, Life Storage and CubeSmart, detracted. Another top relative contributor was DCT Industrial Trust, an owner of warehouse properties that agreed to be acquired by Prologis, another large fund holding, as well as a relative detractor.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended July 31, 2018

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The 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 the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website 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 website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), certain independent Trustees have elected to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees of $61,635 are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities in other receivables and other payables and accrued expenses, respectively.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of July 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $147,393,130 
Gross unrealized depreciation (9,440,615)

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .24% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .54% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Distribution Fee Service Fee Total Fees Retained by FDC

Class C .75% .25% 504,089 – 
   $1,658,150 $– 

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class M shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class M and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges are 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class M shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

 Retained by FDC 
Class A $23,020 
Class M 4,603 
Class C(a) 2,159

 (a) When Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

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

For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

 Amount % of Class-Level Average Net Assets 
Class A $475,047 .24 
Class M 290,848 .22 
Class C 134,314 .27 
Class I 742,040 .21 
 $1,642,249  

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. For the period, the fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .04%.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $6,726 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or other affiliated entities of 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. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Borrower or Lender Average Loan Balance Weighted Average Interest Rate Interest Expense 
Borrower $25,039,750 1.95% $5,430 

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

Other. During the period, the investment adviser reimbursed the Fund for certain losses in the amount of $4,339.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $2,172 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent 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. The Fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $1,116.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $45,521 for the period.

In addition, during the period the investment adviser reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $7,095.

9. Distributions to Shareholders.

11. Other.

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

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund (the "Fund"), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII, including the schedule of investments, as of July 31, 2018, 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, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2018, and 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Michael E. Wiley, each of the Trustees oversees 286 funds. Mr. Wiley oversees 197 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's high income and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees.  In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with Fidelity to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in 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 (February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the 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 class of the Fund 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 for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' 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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,020.68 $4.16 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C 5% return per year before expenses

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Lead Portfolio Manager Rajiv Kaul:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained about 13% to 14%, comfortably ahead of the 11.68% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Biotechnology 25/50 Index, but trailing the S&P 500®. Versus the MSCI index, stock selection in biotechnology and out-of-benchmark exposure to pharmaceuticals drove the fund’s excess return. Celgene was our top contributor versus the MSCI index. Underweighting the stock proved timely, given its roughly -33% return. The company announced in October 2017 that it would cease trials for mongersen, its candidate compound to treat Crohn’s disease. Gilead Sciences was another large-cap stock I underweighted that worked to the fund’s relative benefit. An out-of-index position in MyoKardia also lifted relative results, with our position in the stock returning about 271%. Overweighting Loxo Oncology also proved timely. Conversely, the fund’s largest relative detractor by far was strong-performing index heavyweight AbbVie, where we carried a sizable underweighting. AbbVie was our second-largest holding by period end, though still a meaningful underweighting. Radius Health, where the fund had an overweighting, also detracted.

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.

Notes to Shareholders:  On July 14, 2018, Eirene Kontopoulos assumed co-management responsibilities, joining Rajiv Kaul. The two will manage together until later this year, when Eirene becomes sole manager. On February 9, 2018, shareholders approved proposals from the Board of Trustees to eliminate certain sector/industry funds’ fundamental “invests primarily” policies and to modify the fundamental concentration policies for certain funds. The changes took effect on March 1, 2018, and do not impact how the funds are managed.

Fidelity Advisor® Communications Equipment Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

For the periods ended July 31, 2018 Past 1 year Past 5 years Past 10 years 
Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) 9.20% 9.07% 7.53% 
Class M (incl. 3.50% sales charge) 11.64% 9.31% 7.51% 
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) 14.06% 9.55% 7.36% 
Class I 16.21% 10.64% 8.43% 

 Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Lead Portfolio Manager Colin Anderson:  For the year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 15% to 16%, trailing the 16.51% return of the MSCI North America IMI + ADR­ Custom Communications Equipment 25/50 Linked Index, and also lagging the S&P 500®. Versus the MSCI index, CommScope Holding was our largest detractor. Although first-quarter earnings beat expectations, the maker of cables, antennas and other network-infrastructure equipment disappointed on revenue and operating income, and lowered its guidance for the remainder of the year. Elsewhere, several of our largest relative detractors were strong-performing index names we underweighted. One of these was Arista Networks, which supplies networking solutions for cloud-service providers and other customers. An overweighting in optical-component supplier Finisar also detracted. Conversely, our top relative contributor was an underweighting in weak-performing index name Sierra Wireless. The company provides modules enabling wireless connectivity for cars and industrial equipment. It also helped to overweight F5 Networks, an application-delivery services provider, as well as military communications provider Harris Corp. Harris was reclassified from communications equipment to aerospace & defense during the period. The stock was removed from the MSCI index at the end of 2017, and I significantly reduced the fund’s position.

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.

Notes to Shareholders:  On July 31, 2018, Caroline Tall assumed co-management responsibilities for the fund, joining Colin Anderson.
On February 9, 2018, shareholders approved proposals from the Board of Trustees to eliminate certain sector/industry funds’ fundamental “invests primarily” policies and to modify the fundamental concentration policies for certain funds. The changes took effect on March 1, 2018, and do not impact how the funds are managed.

Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

For the periods ended July 31, 2018 Past 1 year Past 5 years Past 10 years 
Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) 16.04% 11.17% 13.17% 
Class M (incl. 3.50% sales charge) 18.48% 11.37% 13.12% 
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) 21.20% 11.65% 12.99% 
Class I 23.46% 12.81% 14.18% 

 Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Discretionary Fund

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Portfolio Manager Katherine Shaw:  For the fiscal year, the fund's share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) advanced between 22% and 23%, outpacing the 21.44% advance of the MSCI U.S. IMI Consumer Discretionary 25/50 Index, as well as the broad-market S&P 500® index. The sector benefited from positive business and consumer sentiment. Jobs data trended positive and investors remained confident that the sweeping $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan was passed in December could boost consumers' discretionary spending in 2018. Versus the MSCI sector index, industry positioning overall contributed to the fund’s performance. The fund avoided or underweighted some industries that fared poorly, including housewares & specialties, broadcasting, automobile manufacturers and advertising. Amazon.com was our biggest holding and largest individual contributor this period. Shares of Amazon gained 80%, rising largely due to the firm’s sustained dominance in its core e-commerce and cloud markets. It also helped to avoid index component Newell Brands (-49%). Conversely, overweighting the hotels, resorts & cruise lines industry group held back the fund’s relative result, as returns here were positive but, on average, lagged the sector index. An overweighting in Charter Communications was the fund’s biggest individual detractor. The stock returned about -22%, weighed down by concerns over consumers' trend toward cord cutting. Largely avoiding media & entertainment company Twenty-First Century Fox (+57%) also detracted; we did not own the stock 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.

Note to Shareholders:  On February 9, 2018, shareholders approved proposals from the Board of Trustees to eliminate certain sector/industry funds’ fundamental “invests primarily” policies and to modify the fundamental concentration policies for certain funds. The changes took effect on March 1, 2018, and do not impact how the funds are managed.

Fidelity Advisor® Energy Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

For the periods ended July 31, 2018 Past 1 year Past 5 years Past 10 years 
Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) 16.94% (0.29)% (0.41)% 
Class M (incl. 3.50% sales charge) 19.42% (0.07)% (0.41)% 
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) 22.16% 0.16% (0.55)% 
Class I 24.43% 1.18% 0.47% 

 Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Portfolio Manager John Dowd:  For the fiscal year, the fund's share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 23% to 24%, outpacing the 20.93% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Energy 25/50 Index, as well as the broad-market S&P 500 index. Versus the MSCI sector index, positioning in the integrated oil & gas and oil & gas exploration & production (E&P) industries contributed most. Here, our long-standing strategy of overweighting the E&P group worked out well, as we favored companies in this strong industry given what we believe are more-attractive long-term growth prospects relative to integrated oil & gas companies, a group that lagged the sector and in which the fund was significantly underweighted the past year. Stock selection in oil & gas refining & marketing also contributed to the fund's relative result. The top individual relative contributor by a wide margin was a sizable underweighting in integrated oil & gas company Exxon Mobil, which significantly lagged the MSCI sector index this period. A large position in refining firm Delek US Holdings also added value, as crude-oil pipeline bottlenecks in the Permian Basin of Texas helped contain oil prices, boosting the company's profit margins. Conversely, stock selection in oil & gas drilling held back the fund's return versus the sector index. The biggest individual relative detractor was a large underweighting in E&P company ConocoPhillips, which rallied on improving operational excellence and shareholder-friendly capital-allocation policies. Untimely ownership of refining firm Valero Energy also detracted. I bought this stock in January, and therefore missed out on its strong gain earlier in the period. Valero was an overweighting and among our largest holdings as of July 31.

Fidelity Advisor® Financial Services Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Portfolio Manager Christopher Lee:  For the year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 11% to 12%, in line with the 12.16% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Financials 5% Capped Linked Index but trailing the 16.24% advance of the broad-based S&P 500®. Financials outperformed the broader market in the first half of the period, but then lagged in the second half amid rising inflation expectations and growing worries that the U.S. economy might slow. Security selection in investment banking & brokerage and in data processing & outsourced services, a group that is not in the MSCI sector index, helped relative performance. Top fund contributors included online broker E*TRADE Financial (+46%), which benefited from increased market volatility, rising interest rates and optimism the company might be sold. A non-index stake in fleet card company Wex returned 74%, helped by improved economic growth and higher oil prices that bolstered transaction volumes. By contrast, stock picks in the financial exchanges & data, property & casualty (P&C) insurance and consumer finance industries hindered relative performance. Individual detractors included the fund’s stake in P&C insurer Chubb (-9%), which was pressured by rising inflation expectations and higher catastrophe losses. Shares of private label credit card company Synchrony Financial (-3%) retreated ahead of Walmart’s July decision to sever ties with the company. E*TRADE, Chubb and Synchrony were sizable overweightings for the fund, on average. We eliminated Chubb from the portfolio before 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.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Portfolio Manager Eddie Yoon:  For the fiscal year, the fund's share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) advanced in a range roughly between 19% and 20%, comfortably outpacing the 15.46% result of the MSCI U.S. IMI Health Care 25/50 Index, as well as the broad-market S&P 500® index. Health care companies generally benefited from continued strong demand for products and services, strong fundamentals and financial results, among other factors. Versus the MSCI sector index, the fund generally benefited from owning more-opportunistic stocks and avoiding some more-defensive index names. From an industry standpoint, our stock picks in biotechnology made the biggest contribution to the fund’s relative result. Our positioning in the health care equipment and health care distributors industries also added value. Meanwhile, stock picking in pharmaceuticals held back fund performance this period, as did a significant underweighting in the strong-performing life sciences tools & services group. Among individual stocks, the fund’s out-of-index stake in Belgium-based biotech firm Ablynx (+264%) was its biggest relative contributor. We sold our position in Ablynx during the period. It also helped to avoid lagging index components Celgene (-33%), a biotech firm, and diversified health care products company Johnson & Johnson (+2%). Conversely, an overweighting in pharmaceutical firm Allergan (-26%) was the fund’s biggest individual detractor. An large stake in bio/pharma company Tesaro (-73%) also hurt.

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.

Fidelity Advisor® Industrials Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

For the periods ended July 31, 2018 Past 1 year Past 5 years Past 10 years 
Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) 9.30% 9.49% 9.90% 
Class M (incl. 3.50% sales charge) 11.65% 9.73% 9.88% 
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) 14.13% 9.97% 9.72% 
Class I 16.30% 11.10% 10.85% 

 Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Portfolio Manager Tobias Welo:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 15% to 16%, outpacing the 14.67% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Industrials 25/50 Index, but mostly trailing the S&P 500®. Versus the MSCI index, a sizable underweighting in industrial conglomerates – mainly due to relatively less exposure to weak-performing General Electric (-45%) – provided a meaningful performance boost for the fund. GE’s shares had a sizable meltdown amid a change of leadership, its first dividend cut since 2009 and, in the third quarter of 2017, its largest quarterly earnings miss in roughly 17 years. Positioning in construction machinery & heavy trucks also helped, as did our picks in construction & engineering. In the former category, the major boost came from our overweighted stake in Caterpillar (+29%). An out-of-index position in Canada-based commercial jet manufacturer Bombardier (+65%) – which I purchased in January – also aided our relative result. Conversely, positioning in trading companies & distributors, as well as in security & alarm services, detracted. Choices in aerospace & defense and research & consulting services were additional negatives. Among individual stocks, an underweighting in the strong-performing shares of aircraft manufacturer and defense contractor Boeing (+50%) was the fund’s largest relative detractor. Rail-freight hauler CSX (+45%), where we had an underweighting, also worked against us and I exited the position. Home security provider ADT (-11%) – a non-index position I bought and then sold off entirely during the period – detracted as well.

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.

Note to Shareholders:  On February 9, 2018, shareholders approved proposals from the Board of Trustees to eliminate certain sector/industry funds’ fundamental “invests primarily” policies and to modify the fundamental concentration policies for certain funds. The changes took effect on March 1, 2018, and do not impact how the funds are managed.

Fidelity Advisor® Semiconductors Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

Class A (incl. 5.75% sales charge) 20.03% 23.06% 15.73% 
Class M (incl. 3.50% sales charge) 22.51% 23.24% 15.68% 
Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) 25.38% 23.59% 15.54%

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Portfolio Manager Stephen Barwikowski:  For the fiscal year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 26% to 28%, topping the 25.79% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment 25/50 Index, and well ahead of the S&P 500®. Versus the MSCI industry index, stock selection in semiconductors and a sizable underweighting in semiconductor equipment both added measurably to the fund’s performance. ON Semiconductor finished the period as our top relative contributor. The company, a specialist in chips for power management, imaging and analog solutions, enjoyed continued strong demand from the automotive industry, which accounts for more than a third of its revenue. DRAM memory supplier Micron Technology and wireless chipmaker Qualcomm also worked in our favor. Lam Research and Applied Materials, two semiconductor equipment stocks, both underperformed this period, so our fairly large underweightings in these stocks, on average, made them relative contributors. However, we carried overweightings here by period end. Conversely, a cash position of roughly 3%, on average, was the biggest drag on relative performance. Non-index exposure to communications equipment and electronic manufacturing services also detracted. At the stock level, largely avoiding Texas Instruments was the fund’s largest relative detractor. I eliminated our small position in January, but the stock rode a strong overall semiconductor environment. Underweighting graphics chipmaker Nvidia – where I significantly increased the fund’s stake – also hurt, as did overweighting Inphi, a provider of optical components and data-transmission semiconductors.

Fidelity Advisor® Technology Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Lead Portfolio Manager Charlie Chai:  For the year, the fund’s share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained about 25% to 26%, trailing the 28.08% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Information Technology 25/50 Index but handily outpacing the S&P 500®. Versus the MSCI index, stock selection in semiconductors and a large non-index position in electric vehicle maker Tesla were the two biggest detractors from fund performance. Tesla shares took a particularly steep drop in March after reports of a fatal crash in California. Within semiconductors, Taiwan-based Himax Technologies was a significant detractor, as was Austria-based AMS. Both companies supply components for the 3D sensors used in smartphones. Untimely ownership of wireless infrastructure provider Qualcomm also hurt us. Conversely, a large overweighting in application software and stock picking in semiconductor equipment added the most value. Choices in systems software also contributed. An out-of-benchmark stake in GlobalWafers – a Taiwan-based firm that produces silicon wafers for semiconductor manufacturers – was our top relative contributor. We also owned shares of the parent company of GlobalWafers, Sino-American Silicon Products – another non-index holding that strongly contributed. Chip demand rose overall this period, which translated into strong demand for both companies’ products. An underweighting in Facebook also bolstered our relative result.

Note to Shareholders:  On July 14, 2018, Nidhi Gupta became Co-Portfolio Manager of the fund, joining Charlie Chai. The two will manage the fund together until December 31, 2018, at which point Charlie plans to retire and Nidhi will become sole Portfolio Manager.

Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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

For the periods ended July 31, 2018 Past 1 year Past 5 years Past 10 years

Class C (incl. contingent deferred sales charge) 8.04% 9.39% 6.88%

Fidelity Advisor® Utilities Fund

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500® index gained 16.24% for the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, despite a resurgence in volatility that challenged the multiyear bull market. Stocks maintained their steady growth until a sharp reversal in February, as volatility spiked amid fear that rising inflation and the potential for the economy to overheat would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to pick up the pace of interest rate hikes. The index posted its first negative monthly result since October 2016, and then lost further ground in March on fear of a global trade war. The market stabilized in April and turned upward through mid-June, when escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China soured investor sentiment. The resulting uncertainty lingered into July, but strong corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 rise 3.72% that month to cap the period. For the full one-year period, growth handily topped value, while small-caps bested large-caps. By sector, information technology (+28%) led the way, boosted by strong earnings growth from several major index constituents. Consumer discretionary rose roughly 24%, driven by retailers (+49%). Energy (+20%) gained alongside higher oil prices. Laggards were telecommunication services (-2%), consumer staples (0%) and utilities (+3%), defensive groups that struggled amid rising interest rates and a general preference for risk. Real estate (+5%) fared a bit better but still lagged, as did financials, industrials, health care (each up 13%) and materials (+11%).

Comments from Lead Portfolio Manager Douglas Simmons:  For the fiscal year, the fund's share classes gained roughly 10%, far exceeding the 4.01% result of the sector benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Utilities 25/50 Index, but trailing the S&P® 500 index. In a rising policy interest rate environment, investors shifted their focus to utility stocks valued for their dividend growth and business fundamentals, a number of which were owned by the fund and contributed to fund performance. Versus the MSCI index, a significant overweighting and choices among independent power producers and energy traders – led by the fund's stakes in NRG Energy, AES and Vistra Energy – delivered the biggest boost to the fund's result. As interest rates and commodity prices increased, shares of these stocks rose strongly. Stock selection in electric utilities, including Florida-based NextEra Energy, also added to the fund's relative result. Conversely, choices in multi-utilities detracted. However, the fund's biggest detractor was California-based electric utility PG&E, which was hampered by the potential of litigation relating to the state's October wildfires. I continued to hold a stake in this utility 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.

Note to Shareholders:  On February 9, 2018, shareholders approved proposals from the Board of Trustees to eliminate certain sector/industry funds' fundamental “invests primarily” policies and to modify the fundamental concentration policies for certain funds. The changes took effect on March 1, 2018, and do not impact how the funds are managed.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended July 31, 2018

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund, Fidelity Advisor Communications Equipment Fund, Fidelity Advisor Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund, Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund, Fidelity Advisor Industrials Fund, Fidelity Advisor Semiconductors Fund, Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund and Fidelity Advisor Utilities Fund (the Funds) are funds of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the Trust) and are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds are non-diversified with the exception of Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund and Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund. Each Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Funds invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The 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 do not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, each 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 the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website 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 website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

Each Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of each Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by each Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, each Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees each Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing each Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which observable inputs are not available are valued using alternate valuation approaches, including the market approach and the income approach and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions while the income approach generally consists of using the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

The following provides information on Level 3 securities held by Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund and Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund that were valued at period end based on unobservable inputs. These amounts exclude valuations provided by a broker.

 (a) Represents the expected directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase in the corresponding input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of July 31, 2018, as well as a roll forward of Level 3 investments, is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time 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 for certain Funds include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Funds represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds determine the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. During the period, dividend income has been reduced $779,765 for Fidelity Advisor Semiconductors Fund, with a corresponding increase to net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as a result of a change in the prior period estimate, which had no impact on the total net assets or total return of the Fund. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of each Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Fidelity Advisor Energy Fund and Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund, certain independent Trustees have elected to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees of $60,806 for Fidelity Advisor Energy Fund and $97,328 for Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities in other receivables and other payables and accrued expenses, respectively.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of July 31, 2018, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Fidelity Advisor Energy Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences resulted in distribution reclassifications. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, partnerships, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows for each Fund:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and an annualized group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, each Fund's annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:

 Individual Rate Group Rate Total 
Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund .30% .24% .54%

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, each Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares, except for the Class I. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of each Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) or other affiliated entities of 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.

 Borrower or Lender Average Loan Balance Weighted Average Interest Rate Interest Expense 
Fidelity Advisor Energy Fund Borrower $5,114,500 1.38% $1,570 
Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund Borrower $6,194,250 1.82% $1,255 

Interfund Trades. The Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are as follows:

During the period, the Funds did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

Certain Funds lend portfolio securities through a lending agent 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. The Funds or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Funds may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Funds may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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 rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

8. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class of each Fund to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of class-level average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain other expenses such as interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII and the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund, Fidelity Advisor Communications Equipment Fund, Fidelity Advisor Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund, Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund, Fidelity Advisor Industrials Fund, Fidelity Advisor Semiconductors Fund, Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund and Fidelity Advisor Utilities Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund, Fidelity Advisor Communications Equipment Fund, Fidelity Advisor Consumer Discretionary Fund, Fidelity Advisor Energy Fund, Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund, Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund, Fidelity Advisor Industrials Fund, Fidelity Advisor Semiconductors Fund, Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund and Fidelity Advisor Utilities Fund (the "Funds"), each a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII, including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2018, 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, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of July 31, 2018, and 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance.  Except for Michael E. Wiley, each of the Trustees oversees 286 funds. Mr. Wiley oversees 197 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the funds is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

Each fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's high income and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds overseen by the funds' Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees.  In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with Fidelity to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in 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 (February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each Class of 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 Class of the 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 Class of each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' 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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from 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 hypothetical investment and the average annual total 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  For the 12 months ending July 31, 2018, global real estate stocks gained 5.67%, as measured by the FTSE® EPRA℠/NAREIT® Developed Index, partly held back by the headwind of a strengthening U.S. dollar against many currencies. In the U.S., it was an up-and-down 12 months for real estate investment trusts (REITs), which made up 52% of the index this period, on average. U.S. REITs corrected sharply in late 2017 and the first two months of 2018 before enjoying a strong upward trend through the end of July. For the full 12 months, the group rose about 4%. Higher interest rates posed a headwind for U.S. REITs, as income-seeking investors perceived a correlation between the two factors. Still, the fundamental backdrop for U.S. REITs remained solid, with positive, if decelerating, cash-flow growth across most categories. Continental European markets performed especially well this period, gaining roughly 11%, owing to the earlier stage of their real estate recovery. Almost every country in this region fared well, led by Austria (+35%), Germany (+23%) and Sweden (+16%). Conversely, notable laggards within Europe included France (+2%) and Switzerland (+1%). Meanwhile, Japan and Hong Kong, the next-largest index allocations, returned 5% and roughly 7%, respectively, the past 12 months, while Australia (+6%) and the U.K. (+8%) each outperformed the broader market.

Comments from Portfolio Manager Steven Buller:  For the fiscal year, the fund's share classes (excluding sales charges, if applicable) gained roughly 5% to 6%, with all but one outpacing the 5.67% return of the benchmark FTSE® EPRA℠/NAREIT® Developed Index. The fund's result versus the benchmark was helped by favorable security selection, especially in the U.S. and Australia, though security selection in Canada was negative. Also, overweighting the outperforming Austrian market added value, as did timely positioning in Japan, while underweighting outperforming Hong Kong and Sweden detracted. On an individual basis, industrial real estate investment trust (REIT) DCT gained ground, as the company agreed to merge with Prologis, a large fund holding, though not a meaningful contributor this period. In December, Buwog, an Austria-based owner and developer of apartment buildings. agreed to be acquired for a substantial premium. I subsequently sold the fund's stake. Another German residential property owner, Leg Immobilien, added value, although not owning another stock in the sector, Deutsche Wohnen, detracted. The fund's biggest individual detractor was poor-performing Land Securities Group, a U.K.-based owner of primarily London office and retail properties. Among health care REITs, an underperforming category owing to fundamental challenges in the senior housing industry, a position in Ventas further hampered our result, although not owning another poor-performing health care property owner and benchmark component, HCP, helped. Also detracting was Link Real Estate, a Hong Kong owner of retail and other properties. Shares of this benchmark component gained roughly 26% this period, and my decision to avoid the stock for valuation reasons hurt.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended July 31, 2018

1. Organization.

Fidelity Advisor Global Real Estate Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C and Class I shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The 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 the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .005%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website 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 website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Fund's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of July 31, 2018, including information on transfers between Levels 1 and 2, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of July 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation $209,928 
Gross unrealized depreciation (108,789) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $101,139 
Tax Cost $3,103,700 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $54,695 
Capital loss carryforward $(86,595) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments $101,302 

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Fund to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

No expiration  
Short-term $(75,280) 
Long-term (11,315)

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.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,660,277 and $1,327,220, respectively.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .24% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .69% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $38 for the period.

Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Interfund trades are included within the respective purchases and sales amounts shown in the Purchases and Sales of Investments note.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $8 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser contractually agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of class-level average net assets as noted in the table below. This reimbursement will remain in place through November 30, 2020.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $347 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $122.

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

At the end of the period, the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record of 61% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII and Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor Global Real Estate Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity Advisor Global Real Estate Fund (the "Fund"), a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII, including the schedule of investments, as of July 31, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from August 11, 2016 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2017, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from August 11, 2016 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance.  Except for Michael E. Wiley, each of the Trustees oversees 286 funds. Mr. Wiley oversees 197 funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the fund is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. James C. Curvey is an interested person and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Ned C. Lautenbach serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity® funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's high income and certain equity funds, and other Boards oversee Fidelity's investment-grade bond, money market, asset allocation, and other equity funds. The asset allocation funds may invest in Fidelity® funds overseen by the fund's Board. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity® funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity® funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks.  The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations, Audit, and Compliance Committees.  In addition, the Independent Trustees have worked with Fidelity to enhance the Board's oversight of investment and financial risks, legal and regulatory risks, technology risks, and operational risks, including the development of additional risk reporting to the Board.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate, including an annual review of Fidelity's risk management program for the Fidelity® funds.  The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Trustees."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in 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 (February 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the 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 class of the Fund 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 for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' 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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,019.09 $5.76 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C 5% return per year before expenses

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte Entities in its audit of the Funds, taking into account representations from Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Funds and their related entities and SelectCo’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 trust’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 periodically.


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.
